Had on loan from the library...
Had to return before I finished it as someone had a hold on it.
Will definitely finish!

Hopefully I’ll get back to this book because I found it very interesting but it’s been so long since I last listened that I will want to start over when I do.
Disclosure: Read 50%, then started skimming.
A large amount of this book seems to conflate correlation with causation. There are some interesting themes, but they are presented as decided fact, even though there clearly isn’t consensus around many of these ideas.
I agree with other reviews stating that this seemed to be a little all over the place. Starting with disease states, moving to child development, disastrous cultural factors, consumerism/capitalism…
Was really looking forward to this and was disappointed.

Gabor looks at the big picture of hegemon lifestyle, and the impact it has on us humans living in this culture. Strong findings, little bit of remedies though
I listened to this over the course of many months on and off. There were parts particularly relevant to childbirth trauma.
This was really fascinating. I didn't agree with everything, but it gave me a lot to think about in terms of how we deal with trauma and healing and the world we've created to live in.

3.5- may have been 4 if I had read instead of listened. Audio dragged on a bit.
An incredibly important read, this is a mash-up of all trauma related books I’ve read with a healthy (and welcome!) dose of Brené Brown. Dr. Maté makes the case that our physical health is more closely linked to our mental and emotional health than we generally tend to believe, and explains how we are all living in a society, culture, and time where trauma is a part of all of our stories, but we have yet to move towards a healing paradigm that is trauma-centric, or even widely trauma-informed.
(Note: Trauma isn’t only defined as some big, terrible event in one’s life. But, if when faced with the question, When you were young and felt isolated, hurt, or scared, who did you feel like you could talk to about it? - and your answer is no one, or someone other than your guardian, this truth greatly impacts one’s developing emotional health and wellbeing, and consequently, one’s physical health as well.)
