    OMG there is no end to Gabor Mate's brilliance. Every topic I have seen him lecture about, on youtube that is, every word Gabor has spoken confirms and validates my experiences in hospital settings with my differently abled son from birth and my husband's illnesses as they were treated in hospital care. I am grateful that Gabor has the courage to speak about the taboo issues and their connections to our lifestyles. Change seems to take too long. Hopefully, Gabor's candid lectures will speed change in specific areas of life in hospitals and all areas of life in general. The importance of Gabor's courage and diligence in getting positive messages out regarding the development of human psychology and how it relates to health, this information dissemination is dependent upon the courage of the people who work in hospitals. They have a significant role to play in the development of humankind.

    Wonderful speech and I agree with all of this, as a Retired Nurse and as a Buddhist who has studied Healing touch, etc., in nursing and metaphysics. I love this talk. I do wish we had Health Care in the USA as good as in Canada. Women in the USA have much stress. My other wish is that all countries can love and respect the teachings of Indigenous people and learn from them, instead of testing animals by putting them under stress or pain. We could have had so much! I see the connection to suicide very clearly, too. Sharing this to help everyone.

    "People whose integrity has not been damaged in childhood, who were protected, respected, and treated with honesty by their parents, will be-both in their youth and in adulthood-intelligent, responsive, empathic, and highly sensitive. They will take pleasure in life and will not feel any need to kill or even hurt others or themselves. They will use their power to defend themselves, not to attack others. They will not be able to do otherwise than respect and protect those weaker than themselves, including their children, because this is what they have learned from their own experience.
    We are still barely conscious of how harmful it is to treat children in a degrading manner. Treating them with respect and recognizing the consequences of their being humiliated are by no means intellectual matters; otherwise, their importance would long since have been generally recognized.
    Society chooses to disregard the mistreatment of children, judging it to be altogether normal because it is so commonplace.
    The more we idealize the past and refuse to acknowledge our childhood sufferings, the more we pass them on unconsciously to the next generation. The truth about our childhood is stored up in our body, and although we can repress it, we can never alter it. Our intellect can be deceived, our feelings manipulated, and conceptions confused, and our body tricked with medication. But someday our body will present its bill, for it is as incorruptible as a child, who, still whole in spirit, will accept no compromises or excuses, and it will not stop tormenting us until we stop evading the truth.
    The art of not experiencing feelings. A child can experience her feelings only when there is somebody there who accepts her fully, understands her, and supports her. If that person is missing, if the child must risk losing the mother’s love of her substitute in order to feel, then she will repress emotions.
    Every life and every childhood is filled with frustrations; we cannot imagine it otherwise, for even the best mother cannot satisfy all her child’s wishes and needs. It is not the suffering caused by frustration, however, that leads to emotional illness, but rather the fact that the child is forbidden by the parents to experience and articulate this suffering, the pain felt at being wounded.
    We don’t yet know, above all, what the world might be like if children were to grow up without being subjected to humiliation, if parents would respect them and take them seriously as people.
    The reason why parents mistreat their children has less to do with character and temperament than with the fact that they were mistreated themselves and were not permitted to defend themselves.
    The claim that mild punishments (slaps or smacks) have no detrimental effect is still widespread because we got this message very early from our parents who had taken it over from their own parents. Unfortunately, the main damage it causes is precisely the broad dissemination of this conviction. The result of which is that each successive generation is subjected to the tragic effects of so called physical “correction.”
    The knowledge that you were beaten and that this, as your parents tell you, was for your own good may well be retained (although not always), but the suffering caused by the way you were mistreated will remain unconscious and will later prevent you from empathizing with others. This is why battered children grow up to be mothers and fathers who beat their offspring.
    Many people suffer all their lives from this oppressive feeling of guilt, the sense of not having lived up to their parents’ expectations. This feeling is stronger than any intellectual insight they might have, that it is not a child’s task or duty to satisfy his parents needs. No argument can overcome these guilt feelings, for they have their beginnings in life’s earliest periods, and from that they derive their intensity and obduracy.
    The abused children are alone with their suffering, not only within the family, but also within themselves. They cannot crate a place in their own soul where they could cry their heart out.
    The abused child goes on living within those who have survived such torture, a torture that ended with total repression. They live with the darkness of fear, oppression, and threats. When all its attempts to move the adult to heed its story have failed, it resorts to the language of symptoms to make itself heard. Enter addiction, psychosis, criminality.
    Till now, society has protected the adult and blamed the victim. It has been abetted in its blindness by theories, still in keeping with the pedagogical principles of our great- grandparents, according to which children are viewed as crafty creatures, dominated by wicked drives, who invent stories and attack their innocent parents or desire them sexually. In reality, children tend to blame themselves for their parents’ cruelty and to absolve the parents, whom they invariably love, of all responsibility.
    It is not true that evil, destructiveness , and perversion inevitably form part of human existence, no matter how often this is maintained. But it is true that we are daily producing more evil and, with it, an ocean of suffering for millions that is absolutely avoidable. When one day the ignorance arising from childhood repression is eliminated and humanity has awakened, an end can be put to this production of evil.
    It is very difficult for people to believe the simple fact that every persecutor was once a victim. Yet it should be very obvious that someone who was allowed to feel free and strong from childhood does not have the need to humiliate another person.
    Those children who are beaten will in turn give beatings, those who are intimidated will be intimidating, those who are humiliated will impose humiliation, and those whose souls are murdered will murder.
    Without realizing that the past is constantly determining their present actions, they avoid learning anything about their history. They continue to live in their repressed childhood situation, ignoring the fact that is no longer exists, continuing to fear and avoid dangers that, although once real, have not been real for a long time.
    Sadism is not an infectious disease that strikes a person all of a sudden. It has a long prehistory in childhood and always originates in the desperate fantasies of a child who is searching for a way out of a hopeless situation.
    Hitler, Stalin, Mao and other dictators were exposed to severe physical mistreatment in childhood and refused to face up to the fact later. Instead of seeing and feeling what had happened to them, they avenged themselves vicariously by killing millions of people. And millions of others helped them to do so." ~ Alice Miller
    "Why should society feel responsible only for the education of children, and not for the education of all adults of every age?
    Many psychiatrists and psychologists refuse to entertain the idea that society as a whole may be lacking in sanity. They hold that the problem of mental health in a society is only that of the number of 'unadjusted' individuals, and not of a possible un-adjustment of the culture itself.
    The fact that millions of people share the same vices does not make these vices virtues, the fact that they share so many errors does not make the errors to be truths, and the fact that millions of people share the same form of mental pathology does not make these people sane.
    A society whose principles are acquisition, profit, and property produces a social character oriented around having, and once the dominant pattern is established, nobody wants to be an outsider, or indeed an outcast; in order to avoid this risk everybody adapts to the majority, who have in common only their mutual antagonism.
    The deepest need of the human being is to overcome our separateness, to leave the prison of our loneliness. The person who gives up his individual self and becomes an automaton, identical with millions of other automatons around him, need not feel alone and anxious any more. But the price he pays, however, is high; it is the loss of his self.
    Alienation as we find it in modern society is almost total… Man has created a world of man-made things as it never existed before. He has constructed a complicated social machine to administer the technical machine he built. The more powerful and gigantic the forces are which he unleashes, the more powerless he feels himself as a human being. He is owned by his creations, and has lost ownership of himself." ~ Erich Fromm

    Truly excellent presentation regarding all that we know about trauma and healing that still somehow manages to be almost completely ignored within the realm of modern medicine. Dr. Mate's work is so very enlightening, especially if one is willing to open to one's own vulnerability and to accept the clear reality that in one way or another, either personally or societally, we are ALL impacted by trauma, by intergenerational trauma and by increasing levels of stress. How we support ourselves and each other is key to both our individual and collective health and healing. Thanks for sharing this presentation.

I have also done some teaching of this practice, along with my 40 years + practicing and teaching Yoga. I observed that my students can tune in and listen much better after doing some Vedic Chant practice where they have to listen and repeat sounds that are (to them) pure sound. I wonder if you think this practice of listening would be useful therapeutically for overcoming things like ADHD?

However, it takes an incredibly brilliant mind to connect all these areas of research into the big picture and show how we all are affected by it, "normal people", not just those "faulty" ones of us that should be taken care of in "institutions". Gabor Mate is deservedly becoming one of the few ourstanding characters in the history of psychology to pioneer a series of breakthroughs in our understanding of the deep nature of human mental messups.

    I love that Maté puts more store by anecdotal evidence than evidence-based 'science'. I had a stressful childhood. I'm sitting here age 45 in the middle of a very rough early menopause, which began at 42-43. I assumed it was just bad luck; a lottery I didn't win. The more I've researched the subject, the more the evidence suggests that stressed female children tend to reach puberty earlier (before 12). I was 11. Those same girls then have a drastically increased chance of hitting menopause early, or more prematurely (before 45) than others of their age group.

      I'm wondering that remedying this naturally might be readily possible but for being in a hygiene obsessed era in general as well as modern culture not promoting devoted time with the new baby.
      I watched my dog nurse her pups post c-section and she blew my mind with her total care and devotion. She fed them immediately whilst yet having a long scar down her tummy and so drugged up she could barely stand or stay awake. If she needed to go to the toilet she would go and be back in a flash to be with her babies. People want a pup at 6 or 8 weeks? She naturally fed hers, who were just about able to eat solids from 4 weeks, until they were 10 weeks of age. And she cleaned them and loved them and demonstrated a most beautiful natural patience. Pups should be with their mum as long as she can feed and care for them.
      I have a deep sadness with what may have led to the C-Section being necessary to add, for i was hosting 3 students then who on the second day made a huge issue over my having a dog when she was just 3 weeks pregnant (equivalent to end of 1st trimester in humans). Their religious background (although they demonstrated no evidence of having faith themselves) meant that they had inherited a regard for dogs as "unclean" and created a drama with the organisers of the trip. It was an evening of teacher and organiser and students arguing in French in my house and my dog went into a marked depression for a few days following this. I am sure this was when a pup died inside her ( - for there was an undeveloped pup came out at the c-section) and the last pup to come out didn't make it too. I knew something had happened to her with those hostile visitors. I remember there were a couple of days she seems exhausted and didn't want to come out of her bed and i actually said to a friend at that time that i hoped she had not had a miscarriage. Then i left it. Another 6 weeks and she needed a C-Section. She's such a beautiful girl and was an awesome mum and all the pups are now very healthy young dogs. I love my dog as much as one can possibly love, to the moon and back and beyond and all the way home. And she's sat next to me now and going to give her my attention now.

      I have read of a female ob/gyn who, when the mother has her baby by C-section, takes a sterile sponge, collects vaginal secretions from the mother and then smears them onto the baby, primarily on the face (as that is where the "good stuff" is transferred to the baby, through the "open" areas - nose, eyes, mouth). Unfortunately I don't remember her name but her instincts are responsible for giving C-section babies the blessings of nature's gift of their mother's gut biome.

    I'm not super educated on a lot of things but I've always felt very strongly about the mind/body relationship and it's mostly been clear to me throughout my life. No doubt there's been times that I've lost that and I have had a couple great traumas that I've been consistently working on about the last five years, but I can say, I'm lucky(?) enough to have a space that is all mine(with work of course) and I spend A LOT of time alone reflecting and self educating and reflecting. (Lol) what I'm saying is if you need help finding YOUR truth, center or higher spirit, intuition, inner voice(whatever you want to call it) be able to comfortably spend some time ALONE. I really believe the answers to our questions or worries or problems are within us. We need to ask ourselves and then LISTEN. WE(ourselves) KNOW. Do not doubt yourself. That's my first line of advice. You got this. I fully believe that.

      I also want to say, at least "westernly" we tend to treat our medicine as it's available anytime anywhere and we use it at the first sign of distress.. I believe "medicine" (like I said, mainly western) should be used as a last resort. Let our bodies and our minds sort out what we can(exercise in a way that feels good to you, educate yourself with knowledge and experience, eat what your body likes and makes you feel good, pay attention to your body) but actual medications should be used to almost like *jolt* your body or minds in a way you COULD NOT, with out a doubt, do on it's own. I hope someone understands what I'm saying, as I usually don't use the right words to accurately depict what I'm trying to say. I'm saying, I really believe that a lot more power resides in US to solve more than we think.
