What does it mean when your body keeps saying no? In this Summer Shorts episode, Mechelle sits with four questions she wishes she could ask Dr. Gabor Maté — one of the most important voices in trauma and mind-body medicine alive today. From the trauma that lives in people who "don't feel anything," to the childhood wound of choosing attachment over authenticity, to what it takes to look at yourself honestly — this episode draws on Maté's landmark work in When the Body Says No and The Myth of Normal to offer some of the most important concepts in healing. Thoughtful, personal, and genuinely life-changing.
