Gabor Maté: Finding Our TRUE Selves in a Crazy World

[@lindabalent2755]

Thank you, Gabor Mate. I'm 81. Still growing.

[@joselopez5878]

Amazing!

[@frequency.frequ.highfrequ.9579]

When did u start growing

[@RoxanneRock]

✨So beautiful! This gives me hope that my mother could still decide to grow. She’s in her 70’s now and I gifted her one of Gabor’s books recently as I saw she had a list of his books written on her counter. Apparently my cousin’s gf recommended them to her. I haven’t met her yet but I knew she was some kind of gift… if she planted the seed with the book recommendations and I watered it with the book… I hope it’s enough for that seed to grow 💖 Thank you for continuing to grow and giving hope and inspiration to others.

[@serendipity0775]

I'm a psychologist and I can relate to all that he says , both personally and professionally. He is a powerhouse of wisdom. So much clarity and such amazing information, imparted so clearly and simple. His humility shows when he says you don't have to buy my book if you don't want to. You can borrow it from a library. This is so contrasting to the tons of self help/ life coaches who arrogantly tell you to buy their books and make tall claims. This man is a gift to humanity. God bless him and his work. Thank you for making such interviews freely available on KZbin.

Now I want to go through it more slowly, to honor my needs for healing at just about every level to mourn the losses of my early life, and be here more completely in this latter end of my life for myself yes, but also for my children, and all who mean a lot to me. What a gift this is for me, I know, but can see how much it could change our world over time. This podcast was lovely to watch and to listen to. Many thanks to you too, Andre, for the intelligence, comfort and love you also display in giving this platform to Dr. Gabor Mate. Thank you both for your being!!! Shelagh!

Does it offer solutions people can implement or just explain the problem?

[@jcm5171]

I could listen to Dr Maté for ever. He says things that we all know deep down to be true and fundamental. He has thought things through in a deep manner, and searched in his own soul. He has suffered and paid deep attention to other human beings in distress. He explains human trauma so well. He speaks about a world that has come to the brink of self-destruction and no longer betters people's lives. Let's hope more like him speak out!

[@maureenmannion6748]

It just hit me that Gabor Mate reminds me a great deal of Elie Wiesel. Their faces show the depths of their sorrow. Elie is gone RIP, but, his writings live on.

I can deeply sense Gabor's authenticity. I love his composure and the way he articulates his points, so simply and concisely. Also that he is a good listener who shares and takes turns as opposed to dominating the conversation and speaking over his host as so many celebrity leaders do. I will buy his book tomorrow.

I NO LONGER HAVE MY VOICE SILENCED. I ROAR!! You are constantly being re-born, re-created, re-generated, every moment! Concepts, thoughts, and stories are constantly being re-created. You are generating it ALL, and this is unconscious. When you ‘uproot’ repression and suppression, you unveil Flow. You CAN change IN! AN! INSTANT! Every morning you wake up, your life story is re-constructed... Do I have to wake up believing reality is the way I believed it was yesterday? When breathing is restricted, get curious about what is holding it back, when it is open, get curious about why that is... YOU ARE THE ARTIST! Awareness of something alone IS enough! It untangles itself, the knots lets go of You. Choose Freedom. Take responsibility for your own suffering.

False diagnosed by a inexperienced therapist which had just started therapy practise and she had only seen me 3 to 5 times - diagnosed me with Bpd - had to take overdose of SSRI and gained terribly weight and other severe side effects - when I informed our experienced family doctor - he warned me that most of those "diagnosis" are terribly wrong and he gave me the wise advice to tapper those medication which I started immediately with success - never ever had a personality disorder at all - never ever will take any medicine nor diagnosis from any therapist or psychiatrist at all - my trust into those psychodocs has gone - today I do help myself with watching videos from Gabor Mate which helps me more than any mediciation could ever do it for me.

[@kristinreich6226]

That is what makes me afraid of seeking therapy. It's not cheap. And I can't afford to be incorrectly diagnosed. If I feel like I understand my mental health issues more than the therapist.... What's the point?

[@boglarkaszoradi4504]

​@@kristinreich6226For me it is so repulsive when a psychiatrist thinks he knows better than you do... When you have insight into your inner emotional processes. He only interprets and misinterprets your nonverbal communication from the outside.

[@leilap2495]

I was misdiagnosed with BPD and a therapist (not a prescriber) tried to scare me into trying an SSRI for early pregnancy anxiety due to hormonal changes. I soon felt much better without a single intervention, thanks also to my pregnancy hormones. Pregnancy and breastfeeding were protective for me, and I trusted myself to seek care if I were to need it. Later on, I was able to correct my diagnoses and eventually after significant effort and expense received appropriate care from individuals who listened to me. I am able to tolerate a low dose SNRI now as part of my treatment plan. SSRIs are incredibly dulling and numbing, but they can help those who are highly anxious, for example. Medications can have a place, and treatment must be individualized and only competent prescribers should be the ones to recommend them.

[@HTHTNT77]

Dr Gabor Mate is an inspiration and I resonate with him whenever he speaks. I had Breast Cancer back in 2019 and it was a total shock as I was 31. Honestly, it is one of the best things that happened to me as I became sober from alcohol and changed my life. It was traumatic too. I quelled a lot of my anger and suppressed trauma for years. I had a very traumatic childhood and still working through this trauma now. I have changed a lot as a person as a result of the cancer. My mother passed away from cancer and we had a strained relationship and I held anger and resentment towards both of my parents. One of the best gifts I'm giving to myself is the space to heal and attending therapy so I can be a healthier person and have healthy relationships. It's quite amazing how dissociated and disconnected we become due to trauma. Thank you for this great video and for your channel! I appreciate these wise conversations, especially considering the world we are in.

[@StressRUs]

We are addicted to the very stress hormones our toxic culture generates, so we seek out ever more stressful exposure to violence, rapid change, ever faster lifestyles, overconsumption, excitement, the newest tech, etc. That addiction to dopamine and endorphins keeps us numbed and seeking more stress with no conscience.

Growing up in another country (a collectivistic country) I soon noticed that loneliness, isolation and disconnection were the main themes illustrated in American movies. I then moved to the US and could see first hand how the possibilities of becoming independent so quickly made it possible for someone to just move away and be on their own...which could be great, except that it perpetuates separation and keeps people detached from others. Connection is the solution to many mental health and societal issues. I think.

Love this man, his work, and contributions to healing!🙏❤

[@claireseymour4902]

Im on the journey to healing and my life is transformed. Thank you Dr Mate❤

[@georgewahl2498]

to give love despite the noise and barbs of another's mind, to give love without any hint of "its too much" or "what about me", to give love because you know the cisterns of love will never empty, to give love because the response if any does not matter, to give love because you know there is "no me" lies towards the end of your journey....it is ok and wise to step away from perceived harm to find your true self first before embarking on giving the pure love that is still hidden and still waiting to flow from your heart...if it hurts, you are not ready yet…if your not ready, find a meditation group and learn how to still your mind…as you do, your heart will fill the stillness... the transformation from the unconscious to human consciousness is beginning to dawn....thank you Gabor for your wisdom

[@mariesaint-victor4440]

I’ve listened to a lot of Dr Matê’s interviews , workshops , talks …. And have read some of his work …. This interview brought even more insights to my awareness !! Much and grateful thanks!! I will be listening to this one again !!

[@InnerResearcher]

Couldn't believe when I saw that you posted a podcast episode with Gabor Mate! Absolutely love the guy. Can't wait to hear this episode!

[@RDnAC]

I love animals because they don’t deviate from their nature and Gabor’s soft calming voice and his slight resemblance to an emu speaking his wisdom is the best. ❤️

[@jackcrane7853]

Emu?!

[@KundanAhmed]

I kind of liked how you thought him as an emu, I think I see the reason in it. But, the calmness and wisdom he brings, I think Master Oogway from Kung fu panda would be more apt. (A tortoise although fictional)

[@helenbostock2350]

Hello he a great man who has truly studied human being behaviour in a very gentleness manner.

[@kathleenc8810]

This is quality intellectual and compassionate understanding worth listening to more than once, thank you. ❤

[@irektaflinski5449]

I’m a psychologist and I feel and pray he is opening my understanding to why God led me to this road!! I am so much in sink with him and I am humbled by his honesty and kindness!

[@mysteryacool4111]

Thank you Dr for being my guiding force and voice, you put a seed in my mind that i await the strength to water. I feel very excited and cared for in ultimately building my sense of self and growing in such a crazy world. introducing my sweet human self to adulthood is profoundly meaningful and positively invocative.

[@vivstyle87]

I loved all Sir Gabor Maté videos, I always learn when I watch his videos on youtube

[@oldcrone]

I meditate daily to find peace within myself. Buddy said it perfectly. Participate joyfully in the suffering of the world.

[@marshasharier777]

I respect your views and feel very impressed. This needs to be taught to the whole world. I’m so interested in your ideologies. ❤❤

[@julieeebeee]

My respect and admiration for Dr. Mate is even greater after watching this episode! I'm going to order his book today

[@malenedietl3369]

Thanks for bringing Gabor Mate. He is such a human. Can listen to him forever.

[@Janetooooooo]

I love this guy, love the enlightenment he gives us. Thank you

[@bmade78]

Thank you ❤ Dr.GaborMate is Legend! Sending you much love respect and gratitude God bless us all

[@qualitydag1]

I love the background. Its very soothing and feels like a church or some place that has a nice spiritual vibe. Very nice.

[@sparecash7199]

There is a divine design in our wounding . Through coming out the other side of pain we get our greatest gift if we allow it. Gabor and Jordan Peterson are more alike than they would admit to being. Both are brilliant minds. Great interviewer too!

[@ClearMountainWay]

I've never heard Dr. Gabor Mate write or speak hateful, intentionally politically divisive and scientifically ill-informed words. Also, when Dr. Mate speaks and writes, it's all coming from his experience as a medical doctor, not speaking from the hip continually from his person and political inclinations. Understand similarities where they may exist but don't obfuscate clear differences either.

The desire for freedom is really what we want - the 3D world we live in has too many restrictions on our freedom. As we move towards the New Golden age, leisure time will increase, we will feel more free. Choose Freedom. ❤

[@teebee2395]

Great discussion. I'm an admirer of Gabor Maté. Side note: your plants need some love. 🌿🙏🏽

[@canaldeautoayuda6089]

Doctor Gabor Mate should run for president

[@martinakournikova564]

He won't, that is for narcissists.

[@deanakalberg4540]

He is not an American Citizen 😢

[@violetrose20]

He's better than Kamala. lol

[@quo33]

Did you just quote Erich Fromm? Omg. More people should read his works/books. And what can we say about Maté, he's just a god send.

[@WatanabeDarko]

Very interesting interview, and also incredible interviewer: balanced, insightful, polite, always asking meaningful questions.

[@Tejaroxy]

I have only listened to the first 15 minutes and am filled with so much gratitude for someone who speaks the truth and in such a lucid and insightful way. I saw the towers on fire in NYC. I didn't think they would fall, and I got on the train to go to work. I remember thinking - whatever is happening to the towers will be used as a pretext to bomb an oil-rich country and/or a country that we can easily attack and profit off of. And I was 100% right. And as Dr. Mate said, anyone paying actual attention would have known the "weapons of mass destruction" malarkey was a con. Long story a bit shorter - we have to somehow find our way back to the natural world, from birth to adulthood, we have to live more freely and naturally. Even childbirth has detached us from nature - women birth in sterile hospital rooms with doctors who want to go home early so they perform c-sections. And the hospital gives women free formula...This is just the very beginning of all the steps the "powers that be" do to detach us from our true, natural, loving, healthy selves.

[@Shirumoon]

I love that you mentioned birthing and motherhood! I kid you not, I grew up thinking I *hated* children and was repulsed by the thought of being a mother and having my own family. Guess what, it is the culture women have to be mothers in that I detest. Still very much child free at this point but this was an incredibly valuable insight to me and showed me once again that it is not me who is broken.

[@brucemcgraw2265]

I have all of fromm s books.......there s nothing more isolative then having that sense of awareness after you're awakening. It's too difficult to wake others up

[@jameslopez958]

We All Have The Inner Voice! I like how it's Speaks to us as a form of Protection! We just have to Listen! ✌️❤️🙏

Everything was ornate because geometry is fundamental in manifesting energy. Thanks, Jon, for another awesome presentation. 🙏💖🌱🌺🦋

[@kazella1992]

What is life trying to reveal to me really struck me. It resonates more than what is life trying to teach me. I want to adopt this mindset and embrace life long learning
