Dr. Gabor Maté on Decoding Suppressed Emotions, Cancer Traits, and Trauma-Addiction Connection

In this episode of The Luke Coutinho Show, I am privileged to bring you an eye-opening discussion with Dr. Gabor Maté, a Canadian physician, a renowned addiction expert and speaker, New York Times best-selling author, known for his expertise in childhood development and trauma.
Join me as we uncover:
The link between suppressed emotions and diseases like cancer and the idea of a fixed 'cancer personality'
Overview of Dr. Mate's Compassionate Inquiry program for healing trauma
Factors hindering authenticity: childhood experiences, societal pressures, and loneliness
Strategies to strengthen parent-child bonds for better emotional well-being in children
Exploring reasons for extramarital affairs, their impact on intimacy and self-distancing, and the trauma-addiction correlation
And much more…

Dr Gabor is a gift to the world. He is a special, special human

[@vaishalivaidya7978]

When he's been called as a Human Whisper,the time does him complete justice. Have attended a couple of his workshops on Compassionate Enquiry and it's beautiful. Love his authenticity...Would love to meet and connect with him in person some day. And his book,The Myth of Normal, is just amazing,insightful and brilliant.

Breat cancer and Anger..So True for me! I married into a family that was critical of me and I suppressed it..I got Caner in my breast at 32. Jesus Saved me. Though..and I am still here..at 80! Thank You 🙏 Jesus! 😊❤

[@divyareddy876]

I truly believe in this as part of my own experiences.Suppressed emotions are always ignored and don't get attention and focus it needs.The comparison he made of emotional balance and immunity makes completely sense to me. Thanks to Dr.gabor mate for bringing about this topic here.

"Falling in love" is a total misapprehension of the word love to begin with. The good and quite addictive feelings are what bring people together and enmesh them well enough to tolerate one another's issues. Without those memories of over the top feelings who would volunteer to enter the mess of coupleship? Love is born of the first hand knowledge of it; having it oneself, we can't help but wish it for others. Having it oneself, we can't help but give it away knowing it is always refreshing the well.

SO MUCH THISSSSS. Took me a lifetime to learn that I can just be myself.

[@vanithabt5997]

It's scary to put this information out with no solution. But still helps me to raise my daughter. Makes me feel like it's too late for me though.

[@movingbreath]

It's never too late. Dr Gabor Mate's book "When the Body Says No" writes about the 7 A's of healing at the end of the book. You can also find a summary of this online. I highly recommend looking into this further.

[@ramaacharya9399]

There is tons of solutions . He is a doctor . U need to look for psychologists who have found solutions. Look up dr shefali tsabary book parent trap and conciois parenting .

[@ramaacharya9399]

Look into the book Good Inside as well as The Awakened Family .. U need to read books by child psychologists

[@dr.arpitakar436]

It's not scary dear..it's the answer, solution for many diseases which we didn't knew before..let go of those emotions which doesn't serve you

Haven't repression and suppression always been with us? I agree with mind body being one entity but as disease and chronic conditions grow, the reality is that it's more about the acceptance of our respective circumstances that eases stress. When we constantly are wanting more than we have and are, and are bombarded with the possibility, we are always in battle. Maybe we're simply in the throes of a great change and absolute chaos where very few will escape without deep suffering. Genetic shifts are at minimum awkward, and worst like shredding skin. All this is not to say a person shouldn't resist unjust situations, but accept life as it is within the resistance.

[@lifegoeson6461]

Thank you for this wonderful podcast

❤ Gabor Mate MD PhD CM ❤

[@elliedavis9618]

This makes sense but also fills me with fear because I have these traits. Makes me want to throw in the towel. Makes me angry. What is healthy anger? I've never seen it in anyone. I feel very sad after listening to this

[@movingbreath]

For me, healthy anger means 1) acknowledging the feeling of anger inside of me when I feel angry, rather than suppressing it or labelling it as wrong/bad, 2) setting boundaries, 3) standing up for myself when boundaries are crossed, 4) finding a healthy outlet for anger and other strong emotions. This could be writing it down, meditating on it, making music, dancing or even kickboxing!
