Fraser Health Ethics Conference: Gabor Maté - Science and Compassion in Understanding Differences

[@evrildindial8841]

Thank you Dr. Mate for helping me to understand myself a little more than I did before. Furthermore listening to you not only your message but the way in which you speak it is heartwarming.

[@andrearenee7845]

I always looked 4 compassion in my counselers. OUt of many, I've had one. But without me stumbling painfully blind onto Dr. Gabor Mate, I wouldn't have known what to really look for. This soul reaches out passed the personal, and hug with the souls of the lost. Blessing he is. Now I understand what I am looking forward to. Thank you.

[@denise2169]

Profound understanding of trauma, stress and the human condition. Thank you, Dr Maté.

Finally, a caucasian who thinks it's important to see life thru the eyes of other ethnicities.. i absolutely love this man. He is a gift.

[@ottrovgeisha2150]

Well then, are you finally a non-caucasian who thinks it is important to see life thru other ethnicities?

[@mewebtoob]

[@MrKaterman]

Great upload! Love Gabor Mate. I find his insights into addiction and trauma extremely profound.

[@ladanweheliye5688]

That olive green shirt works so well for him, it deepens my addiction! But don't let my whimsical comment distract you from his knowledge. ☺️

[@CynthiaSchoenbauer]

Indeed! I have a secret desire for him.

[@meghan42]

Two years later ... I am not distracted. I am captivated by his way of expressing what is going on. Incredibally intelligent and heart-felt man.

[@pudbass]

People who have healthy brains need to be kinder. When they have no patience for people who have unhealthy brains and tell them to "get over it" it is actually quite cruel. Count your blessings and don't rush, judge or give up on those people who are traumatized. Your impatience and judgments make it worse. Ask yourself first...am I trying to help? Am I trying to keep them down?

[@pudbass]

We need parenting classes and wages high enough so one parent can stay home. We need to stop the trauma cycle, so no one feels the need to search outside themselves.

[@stevegwizzle3560]

And courses on spending impulses. One can make a lot or just enough money, but if you're spending it all on unnecessary stuff, then the wage amount won't matter.

[@Marmer]

*Wages high enough for women and men, enough child benefits, and free child care so both parents can stay home for a certain amount of time so both can connect to their children and help them grow.

[@denisevarner7308]

As a retired RN in California, I was well educated in a baccalaureate program that recognized my emotional intelligence given my lived experience as mixed heritage indigenous woman in a predominantly female dominated profession that shaped compassionate, empathic care delivery in the US. My naivete was in my belief that the profession shaped the system of western health care delivery. It did not. The corporately dominated health care system is not rooted in the values of nurturance, sojourn or anything outside of its bias of profit at the expense of human suffering because the system cannot self reflect. Herein lies my demise as an indigenous health care professional who fell hard into a system that forgot how to define care. It nearly killed me both as a professional and as a patient. In the US we have never left the battlefield definitions of human caring from the days of Clara Barton. Nurse reformers have literally been buried for the state of reactivity.

[@Marmer]

I wonder what the audience has done with this information.

[@humaanwar1]

“We have trouble understanding people with different formative experiences than ours”

YES I was a Jewish Clansman for Simon Fraser University, from Vienna with Father from Budapest, Camp survivor. Gabby your best, well, Arron pretty good too.

[@barbmoody4892]

If the U.S. actually cared about opiate addiction, Ibogaine would be legal for use in a clinical setting.

[@tyravanleer7521]

✅ Right

[@humaanwar1]

Source of disconnect is lack of empathy ..
