Dr. Gabor Maté
How does anxiety manifest in the body? How are childhood traumas healed? And why have we normalized the wrong values?
Dr. Gabor Maté comes to the Onassis Stegi to speak about the things we rarely dare to confront: anxiety that turns into illness, the childhood traumas we carry for a lifetime, and the values that make us sick without us even realizing it. The Main Stage becomes a space of care and honesty through a conversation between Dr. Gabor Maté and Afroditi Panagiotakou, the Artistic Director of the Onassis Foundation.
A doctor, bestselling author, and internationally sought-after speaker, Maté has devoted his life to understanding psychological trauma, childhood, parenting, addiction, chronic stress, and ADHD. Through his method of Compassionate Inquiry, he has inspired thousands of mental health professionals to help people reconnect with their bodies and emotions.
How does anxiety manifest in the body? How are childhood traumas healed?
Dr. Gabor Maté’s appearance at the Onassis Stegi is accompanied by a screening of the documentary The "Wisdom of Trauma" (2022) and the workshop “Trauma, Illness, and Healing in a Toxic Culture,” offering a deeper exploration of the thought and work of one of the most important contemporary thinkers on health and the human psyche.
