In ‘When the Body Says No: The Cost of Hidden Stress,’ Dr. Gabor Maté explores the crucial link between emotional stress and physical health. He uses scientific research, clinical studies, and personal stories to demonstrate how suppressed emotions and stress can lead to serious diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. Maté argues that emotional well-being is integral to overall health and stresses the importance of self-awareness, healthy boundaries, and the expression of emotions in preventing illness. This book challenges the traditional separation of mind and body in medicine, advocating for a holistic approach to health.
