Dr. Gabor Maté : Finding ourselves and freedom

Ready To Be Real by Síle Seoige

Topics covered : Gaza, parenting, co-sleeping, attachment, worthiness, cancer, thyroid, compassion.

In my first episode of 2025, my guest is the one and only Dr. Gabor Maté.

He is a retired physician and bestselling author known and loved for his ground-breaking medical work and writings.

His most recent book, ‘The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness and Healing in a Toxic Culture’, has been and continues to be a bestseller worldwide.

n this conversation we talk about Gaza and as a Holocaust survivor what he has to say is so valuable. We also explore parenting, we talk about illness and the lessons to be learnt through these often very difficult experiences and he also shares his insights regarding Ireland.

He has been top of my dream guest list for years now so to have him on the podcast really is as good as it gets.

A heartfelt thank you to Catherine for all her help in connecting me with Gabor.
