If you have listened to EPISODE 336 with Gabor Maté, then you're going to enjoy today’s conversation, as it features his eldest son–Daniel Maté who is the co-author of The Myth of Normal

Daniel Maté is an award-winning musical theatre dramatist, songwriter, and educator. 

This conversation explores the complicated parent-child relationship in childhood and beyond. 

Childhood is a short period in the entire span of the parent-child relationship. Yes, it’s impactful and formative but If you think about it, we are going to have more time with our kids as adult children. The adult child-parent relationship is much longer, which means there is always hope and potential for reparation, improvement and transformation of that relationship.

SOME KEY POINTS
