It's nonsense to talk about addiction as a disease, because what kind of disease gives you security and comfort, and self-esteem and belonging.
What if the roots of addiction could be traced back to childhood trauma? In this episode of 'The Two Norries Podcast', James Leonard and Timmy Long sit down with the renowned Dr. Gabor Mate to explore this compelling idea. Known for his expertise in childhood development and addiction, Dr. Mate shares his profound insights into how early life experiences shape our struggles with addiction later on.
He discusses how trauma can create a void that addiction attempts to fill, offering a sense of security and belonging, albeit temporarily. Dr. Mate also sheds light on the broader societal impacts of trauma and the need for more compassionate drug policies and rehabilitation approaches. His emphasis on self-care and personal responsibility provides a hopeful perspective for those on the path to recovery.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the deep connections between trauma and addiction, and how healing begins with self-care.
