Wenn der Körper Nein sagt

Gabor Maté

Gabor Maté's findings reveal a profound connection between emotional stress, the suppression of feelings, and the development of chronic disease. He argues that unresolved emotional issues, particularly those resulting from stress and emotional suppression, can lead to physiological changes that make individuals more vulnerable to disease. Through compelling case studies, Maté illustrates how emotions such as suppressed anger or hidden sadness can trigger the body's stress response, negatively impacting physical health. He emphasizes the importance of emotional well-being and stress management as integral components of physical health and challenges the conventional separation of mind and body in medical practice. Maté advocates a holistic approach to health that recognizes the importance of emotional awareness and expression in preventing and healing disease. His work calls for a rethink in understanding the impact of emotional health on physical well-being and highlights the need for a comprehensive approach to health that considers both psychological and physiological aspects.
