Dr. Gabor Maté - How Childhood Trauma Leads to Addiction

Dr. Gabor Maté has found that all addictive behaviours can be traced back to either a childhood trauma or a painful experience from the past. A hurt is always at the core of an addiction, regardless of whether it is an addiction to drugs or gambling, internet, alcohol, gaming or social media and so on. The trauma or the pain is often hidden, but is always present. Humans desire attachment and authenticity in childhood. It is the conflict between these two that causes trauma. In our bid to preserve our attachment, we compromise on authenticity, which causes a disconnection from who we really are. Trauma arises from this disconnection. 👕 Buy Our Merch here (10% goes to charity): 🙏 If you like my work, please support on Patreon: 💱 USDT (TRC-20) Address: TMisgAMpu491AJgcxoAPZ8RSE3MuLSeZsL 💱 BTC Address: 12haFPZhwWrbtufbcxoPMtHVnhpT45QHtk
