Description
World-renowned trauma and addictions specialist, physician, and author of five bestsellers, including his latest, The Myth of Normal, Gabor Maté will delve into how our work with clients is being undercut by relentless stressors in a social environment that's determined by class, gender, economic status and race; and that enjoins us to become integrators of the personal and societal in sessions.
Our western culture may separate mind from body, but our emotions and relationships, class, and race and gender, have a greater effect on health and longevity. Dr. Maté will discuss how a society dedicated to material pursuits rather than genuine human needs and spiritual values stresses its members, undermines healthy child development and dooms many to illness. He shares a shift in focus that will support a healthier population.
