Have you tended to compare yourself negatively to others because of a traumatic childhood or other aspects of yourself you view negatively?  Do you ever wonder who the ‘normal’ people are in the world you are supposed to be more like?  I have some good news for you if you answered ‘yes’ to either of these questions and I also review Gabor Mate’s new book, The Myth of Normal below.

If you want to know what the essence of trauma is, I highly recommend watching The Wisdom of Trauma featuring Gabor Mate. He is a very gifted doctor who understands the subject both from a clinical and personal point of view. I review the movie/documentary in this week’s blog.
