If you’d like to join world-renowned Entrepreneurs at the next Genius Network® Event - then apply today for your invitation to attend at geniusnetwork.....
In this powerful and insightful KZbin video, Dr. Gabor Maté delves into the complex nature of trauma and its profound impact on individuals. Drawing from his extensive experience and expertise in the field of psychology, Dr. Maté explores the deep-rooted wounds caused by traumatic experiences, both overt and developmental.
With compassion and clarity, he explains how trauma is not merely about what happens to us externally, but rather the internal wounds that it leaves behind. Through personal anecdotes and scientific evidence, Dr. Maté emphasizes the importance of addressing trauma at its core, rather than merely treating its behavioral manifestations.
From discussing the physiological effects of trauma on the brain to the intergenerational transmission of trauma, this video offers invaluable insights into the multifaceted nature of healing. Dr. Maté advocates for a holistic approach to trauma recovery, one that acknowledges the interplay between biological, psychological, and environmental factors.
Join Dr. Gabor Maté on a journey of understanding, empathy, and healing as he shines a light on the transformative power of trauma-informed care.

I worked those 12 steps over and over for 20 years and I did stay sober but still was a very sick person.

[@sherrilawrence662]

ME TOO!!! I actually got much sicker

[@chrca2023]

Bill w. Quit drinking as a result of psychedellic therapy in the 1950's before tim leary and the hippes ruined it. The scientists and dr.s were making great advances in mental health and addiction, with psychedellic therapy. Then the government made the medicine illegal because of the hippies. True facts. So glad they are finally doing the research again.

[@sallywalsh94]

Although I've never had to battle substance addictions, I have had shame for most of my life and incredible rage and terror. I read a book called healing the shame that binds you but it also incorporates the 12 steps but in regards to shame. It was so amazing and transformational. Ye guys are inspiring for the decision ye take to stay sober ❤

[@robertevans6182]

I have tried it all but Man when I came across this brilliant man my life started to get better. This information is a game changer!

[@aliciajones7078]

Im in recovery, working those steps too and have been sick since getting clean

[@suzanne296]

The trauma is life long work. Im 61 and still going in therapy. I started at 20

“Being cut off from our own natural self-compassion is one of the greatest impairments we can suffer. Along with our ability to feel our own pain go our best hopes for healing, dignity and love. What seems nonadapative and self-harming in the present was, at some point in our lives, an adaptation to help us endure what we then had to go through. If people are addicted to self-soothing behaviours, it's only because in their formative years they did not receive the soothing they needed. Such understanding helps delete toxic self-judgment on the past and supports responsibility for the now. Hence the need for compassionate self-inquiry.” - Gabor Maté, in "In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addiction". This man deserves a Nobel Prize for his work.

[@Mokshafromdurga]

I don’t think so. His writing doesn’t reflect his clear thinking. Childhood traumas are used by most therapists. We get traumatized every other day because we live in an ugly world, which is actually a prison. He doesn’t suggest a remedy from regular traumatic attacks.

[@carolross1517]

Very well said....I agree 💯👍

[@zohrehashraf1626]

Gabor Mate you make me cry any time I watch your talks, I feel so touched and hug my hurt inner child and feel her pain. I love you man. You are an amazing man on this earth😭🥰🥰🥰

[@carolgeorge6409]

@zoe~same for me Dr Mate’ has helped me and so many ! I love you Dr. Mate’

[@kitamariemartin2069]

I was once stuck for decades. It was definitely my identity, and it the trauma stunted my growth. Now that I'm no longer stuck, I'm trying to figure out what I like, who I am, and my purpose without that.

[@christopherkenway]

Me too. I’m 53. I have no clue who I am, how to love, to be loved. I still pick sick partners which always ends in me being hurt now that I’m actually in here. It’s very lonely.

[@joywilliams4014]

Yes I’m 63 and feel the same way. I’m sad I lost so much life. .. coping/surviving. Instead 😢❤

[@mollycote1021]

I love Gabor Mate. He has taught me so much about myself! 💕🙏🏼‼️⭐️

[@janetcorbin2642]

Phenomenal èxperience, education, (most of all experience/s I think.) ❤ Love him, so much empathy, compassion and of course a Hungarian voice. Having Montessori experience a soft voice is critical, when anyone is harsh, loud, unfortunately very quickly goes right over most people's heads, including mine!!

[@janetcorbin2642]

Sorry, women on here are very loud, makes it impossible to understand whatever is being said by them. 😂

[@mollycote1021]

@@janetcorbin2642 I concur!!!

[@houndmother740]

He's right about they don't address trauma in 12-step. You can talk about it but it's difficult to process it unless it's a resentment.

[@nathananderson8720]

This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my KZbin channel 11 months ago about self development. Now I have 2,036 subs and > 2k hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.

[@mightymouse1005]

That's an amazing start. It's probably healing and helping others

[@mightymouse1005]

I have all the th e major wounds he mentioned

[@jimrich4192]

ACOA was the only Recovery program that ALLOWED me to honestly examine my own parents to see exactly how & why they damaged me with their very bad, inadequate parenting. The other 12 step groups maintained an attitude of ignoring, excusing or COVERING UP the behaviors of parents & parenting. Alice Miller helped me finally see & understand where my parents & their parents WENT WRONG. It was & still is a blessing to finally KNOW why I turned out so BAD & now, how to correct my parents mistakes. It might take the rest of my life, but I intend to eventually UNDO the mental/emotional damages my parents left me with.

[@susanjohnson8290]

ACOA helped me to realize what was wrong. I knew my childhood was not good, but I didn’t have the words to describe it.

[@jimrich4192]

In my early home, there was both violence & neglect, mostly violence, so I have carried a lot of fear, anxiety, ANGER & mostly SELF CONTEMPT. Self esteem work hahelped a lot BUT the early damaging conditioning just goes on & on, so I often have to use the self-help tools I learned in 12 step Recovery. I'm 85, so I don't expect to become completely Recovered but things are getting better all the time & I expect to reach my end as a happy guy. Nonduality is showing me things that Recovery work never could have so I feel lucky to have found both 12 stp. Recovery & now NONDUALITY. Good luck everyone.....🥰

[@cestbon3419]

Thank you for your transparency… I would just like to speak my admiration to your capacity to be so generous of yourself!!! You are an amazing person - clearly, with the desire to become “whole” even to this stage of your life!!! I discovered dr Gabor late in my life, too, as a result of the same desire in my heart to become “Whole”… again, thank you: for you!❤️

[@chrca2023]

Child in the womb experiences everything the mother does. When i was in the womb, my father was rarely present, when he was, i know he got drunk and beat up my mom at least once. Once is enough to an unborn infant, to cause "trauma" to happen in the child. My dads absence is probably why I don't feel safe in the world. Always on the look out for danger. Feel like no one has my back. Etc. I wish to learn more from Dr. Mate. He makes more sense to me about things, and my own conditions , than anyone i have tried to understand.

[@robynhope219]

Imagine being pregnant during a war? My mother was!

[@kforest2745]

That’s so true the trauma is never dealt with that’s where compassion comes in and when it does when it’s authentic that is it touches the patient in a way that it’s never been treated with before. Called kindness/respect. Some people carry a tone in their voice that can draw out the trauma and bring it to its knees.

[@StressRUs]

"And even in the 12-step programs, they rarely deal with the trauma", says it all. Sad but true. 12-step groups too often just become the repetitive worship of books written by the "founders" 84 and 70 yrs. ago, and avoid dealing with/working through the emotional sources of shame/guilt/self-loathing that trauma generates in a child automatically. We live in a traumatizing society and with multiple generations of unwitting trauma survivors. Gabor's breakthrough work is a blessing to recovering addicts/alcoholics. Thank you, both!

[@mightymouse1005]

I grew up in an era and family who didn't walk about emotion. The emotions openly expressed were anger, rage and sadness.......bit noone ever talked about feelings. Just suck it up and move on. My mother told me "I wish I had you killed before you dree breath " she meant it because we weren't fighting or anything. It was a FACT. I don't know how to overcome that......how can I want to exist if those who made me didn't want me to exist....

[@StressRUs]

@@mightymouse1005 What you, and I, need keep foremost in our minds is the fact that we are not alone. One author, who I respect, has suggested that we in the 12-step programs are ALL trauma survivors, and that has been my experience as well. The unintentional, unconscious "protection and care" (BB pg. 59) that I received in thousands of 12-step mtg's. finally worked its way down through the trauma/abandonment shame/guilt and into my soul where I met a palpable God/Better Angels who have never left me and always love me. I pray the same happens to you, my friend. Sadly, my first wife was a very strong woman and used me to produce two lovely children, neither of which I was ready for or wanted, as I had not been wanted by my father, who had been unwanted. Read Gabor and Pete Walker's "CPTSD", both powerful healing agents for me. My prayers go out for your healing!

[@amelittaberretta9109]

Thank You Dr. Mate for your exceptional understanding of Trauma, a very grateful follower.

[@mariacoronel2547]

Thank you, Joe, for letting me listen to Dr. Maté...I can’t get over the fact that I have discovered this amazing sage!

[@vickieevans9323]

Very impacted by this mans understanding, wisdom and his honesty, beginning to understand so much about myself and family and our culture(US)...should be taught to all of us not only to professionals certainly and lay people so we can teach to any one we encounter day to day,

[@StressRUs]

Gabor's new book, "The Myth of Normal", is a must read for any serious recovering addict/alcoholic or other interested party. And that's from a recovering alcoholic addict psychiatrist/addiction medicine specialist. Thank you!

[@robynhope219]

Yeah, it’s a good book, but Bessel’s book is more helpful..maybe bc I have no addictions.

[@drc4563]

This man is utterly brilliant!

[@ts3858]

I can definitely say that the 12- step programs do not deal with the trauma..and healing...😓🙏

[@Progenitor1979]

Yes and no. It really depends on the practioner(and teacher) but the foundations are there. For instance looking at 'resentment' is a deep practice..

[@TheLordsbattleaxe]

I agree

[@cindyc2024]

Not only it doesn't adress trauma it creates even more trauma , guilt, shame, black and white/all or nothing thinking. On top of feeding a negative self image and identifying as " sick for life" or an addict for life etc....

[@maryannribble3254]

The 12-Step process did transform though when it compassionately began to learn that relapse is a part of recovery - not a disease - not a failure - but a part of a living and transformative ; fluid process . I dare to say that every human could use a trauma informed therapist off and on throughout their lives …

[@nancyadams4358]

It sure did help with staying off booze for me,and yes I needed far more help than AA

[@YM-nl3rh]

I wish this video was cut apart by subject. too many things all in one. I believe it would be much more beneficial to people searching for help if it was labelled specifically to what it has inside.

[@paulinecartwright6733]

Can you pause and restart so it’s more manageable. I prefer the full video, it gives a thorough explanation. Listening over and over until it sinks in,

[@sammysworld5485]

Where is the rest of Gabor Mate speech… got cut off when he was just getting started.

[@AdamPrue-de5tw]

Very good content. Organization ,+Humor to help heal trauma .

[@alexiisism]

I can say first hand the 12 step program I am a member of we do deal with the trauma. I know most people have experience with AA but NA works differently.
