Maté presents the idea that repressed emotions, particularly anger, fear, and sadness, can manifest as physical symptoms and contribute to the development of chronic diseases.
He explores the link between suppressed emotions and conditions like autoimmune diseases (e.g., multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis), cancer, and heart disease. He suggests that people who consistently suppress their emotions to maintain a sense of control or please others are at increased risk.
