Reseñas de la Crítica

INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER

“This book has many strengths. . . . When Maté witnesses and testifies to human suffering, including his own, he is compassionate and compelling.” —The Globe and Mail

“Written with clarity and compassion. . . . The book’s characteristics seem to describe Maté himself: armed with knowledge and straight from the heart.” —The Georgia Straight

“Maté’s medical background and lucid writing style make complex biological processes accessible to non-scientific readers.” —The Gazette

“Maté carefully explains the biological mechanisms that are activated when stress and trauma exert a powerful influence on the body, and he backs up his claims with compelling evidence from the field. . . . Both the lay and specialist reader will be grateful for the final chapter, ‘The Seven A’s of Healing,’ in which Maté presents an open formula for healing and the prevention of illness resulting from hidden stress.” —Quill & Quire

“It’s a beguiling theory at a time when emotional stress is rampant and a culture of victimization permeates North American thought. . . . A strong collection of illustrative anecdotes drawn from Maté’s professional experience as well as many medical journal references.” —The Vancouver Sun

“[An] enthralling exploration of the relationship between stress and disease. . . . Maté probes deeply into the life histories and psyches of [his] many patients. . . . What emerges is nothing short of a revelation.” —Edmonton Journal

Amazing book!

The best written and researched book I have found on the mind-body connection in relation to disease. I have multiple autoimmune conditions and have been reading and learning all I can for many years, I can’t recommend it high enough.

Required reading for anyone struggling with illness

The concept that my illness is due to a lack of boundaries was mind blowing at first, but the deeper I got into the book, the more it made total sense. If you don’t honor your own boundaries, your immune system gets confused and doesn’t know how to differentiate the self from the “other”

if you're human, this is a must read!

everyone will benefit from learning that one's life includes unknown and unregulated affects of trauma and stress... learning is the first step in healing

Supportive in my personal/professional life

As a Somatic psychotherapist, Gabor’s work reinforces the work I do, teaching, reminding humans of their inner capacity for healing and growth.

informative

Dr. Gabor Matte talks about how parent's can love their children but not be in tune with them & their needs & how this affects the person for their whole lives & then this way of parenting is passed down to the next generation which is not good. This book was very informative & extremely interesting.
