In this interview, Drs. Frank Anderson and Gabor Maté explore the common threads of Compassionate Inquiry and IFS. Gabor shares his ideas on trauma as the root of all illness, and how the separation of mind and body, lack of spirituality, and materialism feed chronic illness. Together, they deconstruct why Western culture — and its institutions of psychotherapy and medicine — ignore trauma, even in the face of rising public awareness. Most importantly, Frank and Gabor offer real solutions to this crisis. Don’t miss their secrets to looking younger while aging, a Bob Dylan quote, and watching their compassion in action.
After 20 years of family practice and palliative care experience, Dr. Maté worked for over a decade in Vancouver’s Downtown East Side with patients challenged by drug addiction and mental illness. The bestselling author of four books published in over thirty languages, Gabor is an internationally renowned speaker highly sought after for his expertise on addiction, trauma, childhood development, and the relationship of stress and illness. His book on addiction received the Hubert Evans Prize for literary non-fiction.
Dr. Frank Anderson is a psychiatrist, IFS practitioner and trainer, and author of the forthcoming book, Transcending Trauma: Healing Complex PTSD with Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy.
