Hello and welcome to the Katie Halper Show.

This week's Patreon only episode of the Katie Halper Show is incredibly important,

so I'm releasing a clip of it so that everyone can hear it.

And of course, to hear the rest of it, you can become Patreon supporters of the Katie Halper Show

at patreon.com slash the Katie Halper Show.

Again, that's patreon.com slash the Katie Halper Show.

On this episode, I speak to Gabor Mate, a renowned speaker and best-selling author

who focuses on addiction, stress, childhood development and trauma.

Gabor Mate was awarded the Order of Canada in 2018.

He's the author of several books, including scattered minds,

a new look at the origins and healing of attention deficit disorder.

When the body says no, the cost of hidden stress.

In the realm of hungry ghosts, close encounters with addiction.

He's also the author of the forthcoming book, The Myth of Normal,

trauma illness and healing in a toxic culture, which he co-wrote with his son Daniel Mate.

And that comes out in September.

He is also a co-developer of the therapeutic approach,

compassionate inquiry, now studied by hundreds of therapists, physicians,

counselors and others internationally.

But on this interview, Gabor talks to me about the Israeli occupation and how his own

experience as a Holocaust survivor made him a defender of Palestinian rights and critic of Israel.
