Dr. Gabor Maté | This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von

[@cotw9316]

As a therapist, can I just say that by interviewing professionals like Gabor Maté, Theo is reaching more people and helping people who wouldn’t typically reach out for help understand the impact of trauma more than any therapist, BetterHelp commercial (oh we’ve all seen our fair share of them) or other podcasts and platforms by a million-fold. Bravo Theo and thank you so much for your voice, vulnerability, humor, and genuine want to understand trauma. Not only for your own healing, but for your viewers as well. You are a lovely and cherished human being.

to think of a child, ANY child, having the thought of "something is so wrong with me, I *deserve to be killed*" is utterly heartbreaking. all children are innocent souls, ALL children.

I agree as a general rule. But psychopaths exist. Joffreys of game of thrones exist. Neurological deficits exist. But I do believe thst people like this can still be socialised - but they still exist.

[@siiiiiuu7]

Many kids, even if they don't say it out loud or even take the time to acknowledge it to themselves, subconsciously blame themselves for bad things that happen to them. If I were a child in a place that was constantly being tormented, bombed, and villainized... I'd definitely start to think I was on "the bad side" and that I must be bad in some way. It's heartbreaking to put yourself in their shoes and really think about what their thought processes must be

I agree. It's funny cus during the podcast Theo says, "If I were a leader", and I thought, he's cultivated a community of people that come from a lot of different walks of life to see things from the same perspective and share a vulnerable moment together. Sounds like a leader to me already.

My mother is a narcissist who suffered from abuse as a child, my father was an addict my whole life. I had a series of stepfathers who ranged from physical abuse, sex addicts, and emotionally unavailable. At age 12 I was dumped on my grandmother who suffered from depression and who was mentally and emotionally abusive. I grew up with the “what is wrong with me” question all the time, I had trouble processing my own emotions and spent most of my adult life in fight or flight mode. When I became a parent myself, i wanted to be different from my own parents but didn’t know HOW. It was conversations like this that have helped me identify what I need to work on and how to be a present, available, patient, and a loving parent. I’m not the perfect parent but these conversations ARE SO IMPORTANT in the work I put into being a parent. Theo is out here doing the lords work!! THANK YOU!!

[@yabobayo5787]

That’s awesome you can appreciate this kind of conversation and willing to do different from your childhood experiences. The cliche what doesn’t kill make you stronger is true. You will be the end of family trauma if you keep up. God bless you and much love!!

[@martinezlucia101]

Your story is so relatable. At 16 I got married was pregnant. My entire motivation was to be the opposite of father and my grandmother (my mother was murdered when o was 9) but my motivations to be better for my children gave me the life I have today. I wouldn’t change a thing! My children made every trauma worth it! I hate to say it but it gave me the drive to make sure no matter what my children never had to experience what I went through

[@jaxb.8351]

Theo’s got me tearing up. When he said “I lament some of the feelings from my youth” but insinuated he didn’t place blame. That really resonated with me.

[@GunzyBreed]

The timing is so crazy, talking to a therapist about my neglect as a child and how it’s affecting me as an adult. She recommends me Gabor Mate, and then boom, this video drops. The universe is crazy.

I'm currently in rehab, working through addiction and trauma, so this couldn’t have come at a more perfect time. Understanding how much of our false self is rooted in childhood experiences has been a profound realization. It’s both overwhelming and liberating because now, for the first time, I feel empowered to challenge those long-held beliefs. I’m grateful for this journey, and I love you, Theo❤

hope tomorrow is better ❤

[@hossatravel]

Two amazing human beings right here, the type of men our world desperately needs! My biggest take from Gabor has been that trauma is not only something that happens to you, it can be something that doesn't happen to you; early neglect, rejection and abandonment can have devastating and lifelong consequences, literally affecting the physiology of your brain. But the authentic self is never lost, when you REcover, you reconnect with something that is always there.

[@cripplingclaustrophobia]

Theo has taken the torch from jre, tpw has become the best place for unique conversations

[@jaxb.8351]

I’d argue Theo is a far more interesting conversationalist than JRE. Theo has a humility about him and a sincerity, eagerness to learn and understand that JRE doesnt really delve into. Theo has a very unique perspective that makes him so intriguing. I would agree that he’s benefited from seeing how the JRE pioneered podcasting in a way that was open format and allowed the journey to just be. It doesn’t have to be pigeonholed into any one genre.
