Gabor Maté - Compassionate Enquiry: Trauma Demonstration with Mark Walsh

[@chadmichael_]

I could feel the tension in this interview but that just illustrates how deep and far back the trauma we carry goes. It proves Gabor’s point entirely and we carry that shit with us everywhere. Finding the courage to face it and recognize it like the interviewer bravely did in this video is so encouraging and I think that’s where the positive transformation of oneself can really begin. Thank you for this video.

This was so courageous and I could feel the amount of vulnerability that arose… thanks for putting yourself on the line to conduct the experiment. Definitely a great demonstration on how we can conduct questions compassionately ✨

[@dreamkaravan]

maravilloso Mark y gabor...hacia tiempo que no lloraba tanto...

[@kazzjazz]

Loved, loved, loved seeing compassionate enquiring in action and seeing the dots connected. It gives me hope that I'll be able to connect my dots one day. Thank you.

[@Dumballa]

Great job. Thanks again Gabor.

Thank you so much for this deep diving

[@adhdself-love]

I used to appreciate his take on things, but now, I see that his hypotheses have been stepping stones to my different understanding of thiaga from how I made sense of things before. I now see how short sighted Maté is presently.

I been living in chronic pain. I have been traumatized alot and have ptsd and feel stress everyday

[@dianeibsen5994]

[@moniquelauzon948]

Makes so much sense ! Thank you very much

Well done Mark Walsh. Sending you much love. :)

Thanks

Gut feeling I lisen it usually right

[@clairequinn4831]

This is all Carl Rogers stuff - conditions of worth, authentic v ideal self, Lucy Johnstone, creative survival strategies, emotional schemas and psychodynamic/relational psychodynamic theory, with a little bit of Erskine and relational therapy - no need to buy the compassionate enquiry course…. Just read the seminal literature

[@queline3530]

Thanks for info, you sound well informed 🤗😊

[@amilcarpatel7274]

The theory is good to know to enrich ones understanding - but the course synthesises the different theories and provides a guide that makes it easy to put into practise.

Because we've separated mind and body in the extreme, we need more organ transplants. Yes, thankfully there are brilliant people who have gotten very good at mind blowing procedures, but how many aside from trauma induced injury could have been prevented?

[@oooodaxteroooo]

Does Dr. Mate work with fentanyl addicts? Im asking, because it seems to be a totally different kind of drug and I personally struggled finding meaningful family system issues in the stories I heard.

[@saszablaze1]

Wow you uploaded an older one? Or did a second conference?!

[@imit23]

I want to go to one of your speaking when ur in USA I live in mass usa

[@imit23]

Gabor what's ur websight

[@gaylewilliamson6012]

Seems like just another form of CBT to me, I'm afraid - trying to convince the client to change his way of thinking, but not helping him into relationship with the different parts of himself, which is what would really help. #Richard Schwartz #IFS therapy

[@dianeibsen5994]

Hi Gayle. Thank you for sharing. where can I get help with ifs? I have Medicaid insurance and I'm in Washington state outside.

[@ohgawd]

​@@dianeibsen5994this work is not covered by Medicaid simply because no practitioners know about it. Anybody in the old psychotherapy model - your basic mental health worker - is clueless to this work. This work is offered by body-workers like massage therapists and similar holistic therapists. You can try asking your case mgr to find you a mental health provider who practices "compassionate inquiry" but don't expect any results. Try contacting his website for practicioners in your state but I'm in Washington too and I already know last year anyway, there weren't any who took insurance. Maybe it's changed...

[@imit23]

Yes

[@oooodaxteroooo]

Im pretty sure, Otto Kernberg would argue that ADHD is a defense mechanism.

SUPER 🥰🥰🌈🌈👨‍🚀👨‍🚀🙏🙏 Gabor Maté - Compassionate Enquiry :trauma Demonstration with Mark Walsh

[@claudiamanta1943]

Hmm 🤔 I know this was an artificially constructed demo, but I think it was a mistake. I am not a psychotherapist but I would have tested other hypotheses (it’s called science). I’m fairly convinced now that psychotherapy is not science as it actively looks for the cause in some ‘trauma’ either in childhood or adulthood. Take this example. Maybe Mark is feeling guilty because he’s nearly diabetic and he knows having sugary drinks is bad for his health. Or maybe because he knows that his weight is outside the healthy range. Or maybe he knows that drinking sugary stuff will cause him to be overweight in which case he fears that his partner will find him less physically attractive. Or maybe he feels guilty because he had promised to himself that he would not waste his money on junk drinks which he might associate with something morally bad (the plastic bottle- plastic pollution). Etc.

[@wambaMariana]

As you Said you are not a psychotherapist. Some people will know sugar is bad for them but will not feel the Shame and hence never go to therapy despite the consequences. Some have higher frequency of shame and in extreme cases holds them back from living. This kind of (not science) answers to those who wants to live without the shame. Because there is more to life. But as Gabor illustrated these feelings are familiar because in the childhood a lot of similar shameful situations happened that were not processed and they now can process it and move past it. Like being addicted to anger it’s a familiar habit

[@hanzfest8660]

​@wambaMariana perfectly said. These are present coping mechanisms that we brought up from the past to make us feel safe and just to feel "normal" inside. Be friend with the illness per Gabor.

[@anneliesepaule5871]

@@wambaMarianaGabor Mate is no psychotherapist either and I agree with the original commenter that his way of interrogation is biased. That’s not how an ethical therapist would work.
