A must read for anyone, ill or not

Would put this on required reading list for anyone who is a child, parent, friend, lover, or just a human. It's only going to help you better understand what gets in the way of being more fully Homan and more positively experiencing life. So much explanation, and ALL the science we've needed to back it all all. On a more personal note, I found myself saying "Amen! " , and "Thank you!" so many times, as so much of this my inner core self knew and occasionally my mind knew, but I've been shunned for living out of or considered rather woo woo for speaking about. The connection between physical health and having our needs for autonomy, affection, attachment, acceptance, approval, intimacy, love met, psychological/spiritual health has long been undeniable, even while I have lived my conditioned role of silent caretaker to my own detriment.

Thanks for this very helpful detailed validating proof, and explaining our options to heal, especially in audio form.
And thank you to the narrator for making it super easy to understand even tho there's plenty of science in it. Will recommend to anyone.

I wish there was more on the solution

It’s a good book if you are new to the topic however I feel that 90% of the book was all about making a case and connection to prove his point which already was clear in the first few chapters and left very little on the solution I feel this book is an introduction to the topic of emotions can make you sick basically lacks solutions

Insightful

This book was recommended to me by my nutritionist, I found it extremely insightful. And plan to listen to it again. There were some definitely aha moments.

Best book I’ve read in a long time!

Fantastic eye opening thoughts to consider to bring our awareness back to establishing a healthy mind body connection. Highly recommend!!

BRILLIANT!

Thank you, Dr. Mate for this amazing book and for helping people understand the mind and body connection. Every parent should read this book before having children.

A wake up call

I recommend this to anyone with a complicated toxic upbringing - especially to people with mysterious illnesses and weakened immunity. This book has the answers and will prepare you to heal. It’s not a light read but a necessary wake up call.

His compassion & abilty to communicate

Unbelievably helpful for ANYONE with or without disease. I especially recommend this to people with autoimmune disorders or to those in psychotherapy who feel they are stuck and don’t feel they can push thru to the root of tje issue. Gabor Mate’s compassion and love for all humans is patently obvious in his discourse and the words so wisely chosen to reach the readers heart ♥️🙏

Interesting and insightful!

"When the Body Says No" by Gabor Maté is a profound exploration of the mind-body connection, delving into how emotional experiences, stress, and trauma impact our physical health. Maté's compassionate insights offer a holistic perspective on healing, making it a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of psychology and medicine.

Excelente libro!

Me encantó la manera de explicar la reducción entre cuerpo mente y emociones en la manifestación de la salud y de la enfermedad.

La actuación, me parece, le faltó algo de sabor !
