Gabor Maté
“One of the things many diseases have in common is inflammation, acting as kind of a fertilizer for the development of illness. We’ve discovered that when people feel threatened, insecure—especially over an extended period of time—our bodies are programmed to turn on inflammatory genes.”
Gabor Maté, The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness, and Healing in a Toxic Culture

Gabor Maté
“Bessel van der Kolk: “Trauma is when we are not seen and known.”
Gabor Maté, The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness, and Healing in a Toxic Culture

Gabor Maté
“In the absence of relief, a young person’s natural response—their only response, really—is to repress and disconnect from the feeling-states associated with suffering. One no longer knows one’s body. Oddly, this self-estrangement can show up later in life in the form of an apparent strength, such as my ability to perform at a high level when hungry or stressed or fatigued, pushing on without awareness of my need for pause, nutrition, or rest.”
Gabor Maté, The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness, and Healing in a Toxic Culture

Gabor Maté
“Children, especially highly sensitive children, can be wounded in multiple ways: by bad things happening, yes, but also by good things not happening, such as their emotional needs for attunement not being met,”
Gabor Maté, The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness, and Healing in a Toxic Culture

G.E.M. Anscombe
“Ludwig Wittgenstein once greeted me with the question: »Why do people say that it was natural to think that the sun went round the earth rather than that the earth turned on its axis?” I replied: »I suppose, because it looked as if the sun went round the earth.” »Well,« he asked, »what would it have looked like if it had looked as if the earth turned on its axis?«”
G.E.M. Anscombe, An Introduction to Wittgenstein's Tractatus
