- wsc981 4y agoGabor Maté [0] also discusses this topic often, particularly related to children. You can find quite a few interesting interviews with him online, for example with Joe Rogan [1] or Tim Feriss [2]. --- [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gabor_Maté https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gabor_Maté [1]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkAcJBjutiQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkAcJBjutiQ [2]: https://youtu.be/H9B5mYfBPlY?t=3944 https://youtu.be/H9B5mYfBPlY?t=3944
- rpastuszak 4y agoHa, interesting. I learned about Maté during my previous gig (generative music for psychedelic therapy). Will give it a read, cheers.
- mtalantikite 4y agoThanks to both of you for the links. I've read some about epigenetics and trauma research, and Maté's research looks like something I'd be very interested in.
