Dr. Gabor Maté Addiction and Trauma: Awareness, Research and Resources
“Not all addictions are rooted in abuse or trauma, but I do believe they can all be traced to painful experience. A hurt is at the centre of all addictive behaviours. It is present in the gambler, the Internet addict, the compulsive shopper and the workaholic. The wound may not be as deep and the ache not as excruciating, and it may even be entirely hidden—but it’s there. As we’ll see, the effects of early stress or adverse experiences directly shape both the psychology and the neurobiology of addiction in the brain.” ― Gabor Maté
“Passion creates, addiction consumes.” ― Gabor Maté

Dr. Gabor Maté on Addiction and Trauma Research
"Dr. Gabor Maté is a well-known Canadian physician, speaker, and author who specializes in the fields of addiction, trauma, and mind-body health. His work has had a significant impact on how society understands addiction and its underlying causes.
Maté's perspective on addiction emphasizes the role of trauma in its development. He argues that many addictions, whether to substances like drugs and alcohol or to behaviors like gambling or shopping, stem from a person's attempts to cope with past trauma or emotional pain. According to Maté, individuals may turn to these substances or behaviors as a way to numb themselves from their inner suffering or to fill a void created by early-life experiences of neglect, abuse, or other forms of adversity.
Central to Maté's approach is the understanding that addiction should be seen as a response to pain rather than simply a behavior that needs to be punished or suppressed. He advocates for a compassionate and holistic approach to addressing addiction, one that addresses the underlying emotional wounds and supports individuals in healing and recovery."
