Dr. Gabor Mate is amazing, such insight of human nature. Spinoza a 17th century philosopher understood human nature in respect to the mind and his/her emotions. I have learned that pain and suffering is caused by confused thinking and the belief in freewill and free-choice is an illusion. As Dr. Mate explains that we are traumatized early, we carry this throughout our lives, where is the freewill in this? Strength is improving our understanding, knowing oneself. WayofSpinoza.com
We are isolated and feeling alone just like you. Physically, our bodies are just somewhere else. I have always wanted to go to Australia. Great to cyber meet you
I am in Brisbane Australia, it must be hard to be working in cancer research and to be working with other researchers who do not have the same mindset that Dr Gabor Mate has. I assume this is what you mean. I can understand why you would feel alone if you have people around you who do not have the same intellectual ideology as you.
Thank you. 22 years as a college professor and I never worked with a "disturbed" or learning-challenged young person who didn't respond and make joyful progress immediately once they realized they had a friend who was really on their side. Am still in touch with most of them years later. It's only to say how right I think Dr. Mate is about these issues.
"...make joyful progress immediately once they realized they had a friend who was really on their side." What a breath of fresh air! Therefore, even if we do make progress, that is long and hard to come by (joyless aka "willpower"/"practice and perseverance"), than we ought realize that any "therapist" that we often pay a fortune, who insists that mental and emotional problems take years of sessions and discipline to treat, is no friend at all, but an enemy who really is against us. In 2012-13, I went to just such a "therapist". I wanted her to help me find a quick, easy, and guaranteed way to overcome mental/emotional problems, or at least the closest thing to it. Or at the very least, seriously DESIRE to help me find "immediate joyful progress" in overcoming mental/emotional problems. Or else, EMPATHICALLY show me that it would be a bad thing even if such did exist. But no, she sanctimoniously and close-mindedly INSISTED that no such thing exists! She clearly was NOT on my side! And I still have painful memories to this day, over five years after cessation of MALtreatment because of this fact! She did not charge me a fortune. I'll give her that. In fact, she often let my sessions run overtime without additional charge (she was a friend of my sister who usually attended my sessions). But even if she did not charge anything, my mental and emotional state has clearly experienced greater harm than good on account of her influence. I have not been to any counselor/therapist/shrink since, and doubt I ever will go to another one. BTW, don't brings friends or relatives to your shrink sessions with you, unless you are convinced that they are "on your side" on issues important to you. Otherwise, you will feel "ganged up against" if both the shrink and your accomplice disagree with you on any issue important to you. My sister's presence had been a blessing, until the very end, when both she and the shrink went against me re: quick, easy, and guaranteed, which made it a double whammy. Had my sister not been there, it would only have been half as bad.
Dr. Bronfenbrenner has been doing studies and research on the importance of a warm, loving socio-environment of classrooms since the 1920s and 30s. He said it best with this quote... “In order to develop normally, a child requires progressively more complex joint activity with one or more adults who have an irrational emotional relationship with the child. Somebody's got to be crazy about that kid. That's number one. First, last and always.” People have no idea how powerful a mentor can be, who adores the kid. I had seen more progress from students with InD who feel loved by those around them than y institutions with he latest gadgets and technology. The power of the human touch, such as a daily hello in the form of a fist palm, high five, hugs does wonders to a person with severe disabilities. The sense of being value is very powerful, yet highly underestimated in the education system, especially the public school system. The way their faces lights up upon seeing someone who actually authentically cares and loves them is worth all of the gold in the world to them. Never underestimate what a hug can do to another person.
@@nonelost1 Thanks for this honest account. If it sends a smile, my wife with former hospital career sometimes joke-proposes that she'll just listen to anyone for $50/hour---on condition that she's under no obligation to give feedback/advice, just listen. No PhD in Pretentious Pretending required.
So true. That's why (like every coaching programme confirms) I need to work on clarity fist and foremost. But what to do if the mere thought of that entails overwhelm and triggers additional Stress?
Chris White III That's the whole agenda to spread chaos and in turn sickness and then total control of the slaves for their manipulation,don't sound very human,the hunted must become the hunters.
All the these damnable last minute lockdowns and restrictions during this Covid 19 pantomime.. Could they be trying to make it worse then it is by stressing us all out and reaping those pharmaceutical profits? The constant fear propaganda news is enough to send anybody's immune system over the edge!
The economic system and poverty in general, as well as lack of soul nutrition (music, film, humor, literature, language, etc) will make it impossible. People choose isolation for their own good; to avoid the bad.
@K S Pan troglodytes like proactive political games over status compared to pan paniscus society based on reactive socially functional group bonding depending on a specific environment.
Dr Gabor is 75. The world will lose a huge advocate and teacher when he is gone. What he is saying is extremely significant and sooooo detrimental to our society and our well being yet sadly it is still NOT incorporated in our health care system as it SHOULD be on EVERY level. Why? Because our health care system and more importantly our government is and will probably always be more invested in economics rather than the well being of their citizens. Here in Canada, I have seen and experienced this lack of appropriate care on every level. Once a person is deemed "unproductive", be it physically or mentally, they simply become a burden to our society and are treated as such. There's little (if any) interest in getting to the root of the problem and handling people with care and compassion. As Dr. Gabor says, there is a medication for everything! Unfortunately, Dr. Gabor is a RARE gem in his field and our world desperately needs more people like him!
I AM SO PLEASED.... I FELL UPON ...... HIS LECTURES! .... WONDERFUL INSIGHTFUL DR. ...... ! MANY WILL ABSOLUTELY MISS HIM! .... LET'S HOPE ..... HE LIVES INTO VERY OLD AGE! ....
All the more reason for us to diligently Take Charge of our Health!! Dr. Gabor will always be with us thru his books and videos. We need to live his teachings and make a difference by changing what has been and create a new Paradigm of self love and responsibility. shalom
Michael J unfortunately , I could not agree more. Society promotes narcissistic behaviour , in fact it rewards it. He is a rare gem to find someone with so much understanding and empathy.
Kindness is the thread that weaves us all together. It's what's missing from life. It's good to see the comments here. Makes me feel like some people still care about one another.
Infantile western populations are incapable of empathizing and solidaritizing rendering them compliant odedient slaves. The level of infantilisim is proprtional to the stability of the economic system they wish to maintain. Lonely times these
He’s so deeply wise, honest and heartbreakingly expresses the fragility of the human condition and the lacerations to our souls we all face. Brilliant man.
He is JESUS IN 2023 GOD PLEASE LET HIM SPEAK TO BILLIONS THAT THE SUCIDE RATE WILL BE DROPPED AFTER GABOR MATE SHARES LOVE UNDERSTANDING NUTURE THESE SAD LOST SOULS 🙏
Exactly what I think 👏 no doctor is aware of the patients soul and spirutal inner world or interested to find out the psychological factors,they treat people like piece of meat,take this medicine and forget about it,that's all you hear....
His opening comments that included "people who will be watching this a few years from now on the internet" show how deeply connected this man is to reality. He is always in the present moment... yet with his minds eye is lasered in on the future.
"What remains of democracy is largely the right to choose among commodities. Business leaders have long explained the need to impose on the population a ‘philosophy of futility’ and ‘lack of purpose in life’ to ‘concentrate human attention on the more superficial things that comprise much of fashionable consumption’. Deluged by such propaganda from infancy, people may then accept their meaningless and subordinate lives and forget ridiculous ideas about managing their own affairs. They abandon their fate to corporate managers and the PR industry, and, in the political realm, to the self described ‘intelligent minorities’ who administer power." Noam Chomsky
That's one of the problems with Chomsky, he describes the relationshp as between self-interest masters and infantalised consumers, which isn't really going to convince many people that it's the system which engenders that relationship that must change. He makes it very us against them, when it should be all people against the social phenomenon that put us here. To his credit Mate's description of the problem is much easier to digest, more empowering and more inspiring for it.
There's another consequence of a culture of consumerism. It systematically removes the infrastructure, material, architectural, and of inherited skills, which make it possible to live with less.
The monetary-market economic structure of the society is a failed experiment, but don't say that to economists or the whole "Capitalism vs Socialist" dogmatic sheep. God forbid you even mention a possible solution as "Resource-Based Economics" into the conversation... you'll be labeled either as a communist or socialist, even though neither of those two systems practice anything near to a resource-based economy.
Battling everyday with family members who are stressed over financial concerns to the degree that they have cast themselves into psychological hell, seems that money is their drug, without it they go completely nuts... sickens me to the core... we live in a society of overgrown children, there is no initiation rites which would set most free from the ignorance which is holding their spirit hostage.... instead we are encouraged to drink ourselves sick on alcohol once of age , thereby welcoming us into the brotherhood of spiritual serfdom...
Found him 2021.. he's amazing.. child development... very crucial time.. pregnancy? Major time.. throughout a child's childhood.. 18 yrs?? compared to their lifetime..
It is so reassuring that everything my parents did for us is of the same perceptions that these studies are proven to be the best ways to raise a family. I have always realized that when it comes to parents, I won the lotto max.
@Adam Jacobs Doesn't mean his life was always easy. Struggle can come from the rest of the world in every aspect of your life outside of parents. Your parents should be there to support and guide through the hard times. It's great to be able to overcome and raise above your hard childhood or difficult life without parents/family as a young person. But millions of peoples are struggling that way and at a certain level we would just be better off as a society with parents who can pass on good parenting/emotional/communication skills to their children. So I would say lucky and awesome to be conscious and grateful for it. especially valuable because he is able to recognize he was privilege to have wonderful parents .
Great man!! Consumerism..indifference and greed will eventually kill ourselves and our beautiful planet. It's a shame how ignorant we are..and how selfish we have become.

@@GenwealthPartners this reminds me of four years ago, when in my freshman year of hs I came to the realization that war begets war, that hitler came to power, at least in part, because the devastation of Germany after WWI and the lack of economic aid thereafter, and that it was unlikely that Germany actually would have tried to attack the Lusitania, nor was it likely that Japan attacked Pearl Harbor (funny how both world wars were a started by a smaller, less powerful country doing something that was not in their strategic interest) I also learned that war is very profitable, so it was in the best interest of the rich (those who write the laws) to go to war. It's crazy that people think it's crazy to think that any war is based on false pretenses, because if you have ANY critical thinking skills you will come to the conclusion that they were started with false pretenses and a motive.
As a mother of 3 adult children, listen to what he has to say! I have witnessed everything in my own life as a mom raising children with a husband in this society.
It freaked me out when he referenced we'd be watching this years later. This stuff, man, I have a learning disability and I'm autistic. I really try to learn from these talks.
As a massage therapist for 21 years, I know exactly what Dr Mate is speaking of. I have actually found that every patient that comes in to see me who has an auto immune disorder, are people who have gone for years without breathing properly. They are breathing shallow, which engages the Fight or Flight nervous system, (Sympathetic). When the Flight or Flight is constantly engaged, the body's systems go haywire.
This is really interesting to me. I've been shallow breather most of my life. I struggle with food allergies, lymphatic inflammation, and severe GI problems. I've recently come to suspect my breathing relates to these problems and I've been making an effort to consciously breathe deeper. It actually helps a lot.
Mr. Dr. Gabor Mate. I wish I could sit with you and let you talk. It would be like sitting with Freud, Maslow, Alder, Horney, Pearls, Fromm, etc. Your are unique. I understand what you say; every word. Thank you for being who you are...
He is above them, they were experts of mental diseases...Dr Gabor Mate sees and helps us to understands the full picture...connects the spiritual to the physical/emotional/mental, the East and West...which is why he is so unique, so deep, so complete, which is why we resonate so much with his insights.
I first was exposed to this man in the Zeitgeist movie Moving Forward. I highly recommend this man to those who don't have a clear understanding that Human Nature and Behavior are all upbringing and environmental experience, not Biological. Anyways thank you for uploading videos featuring this great man. Rats are even sympathetic towards other species. Their sense of bonding with someone outside of themselves is so strong, they will seek out companionship and express sympathy towards those outside of their own species. Rabbits are like this too, which is why rabbits breed so fast and in the many numbers. Rodents (the group Rats and Rabbits belong to) hate being alone. I personally knew a few rats and rabbits who love being petted and having that close connection with humans. As for gut feeling, I had so many cases to recall of responding to them, rather than ignoring them. This is especially true in my college years, in which I would find students with their head down within their arms while they were sitting in benches. I couldn't help, but to view that a stress gesture or gesture of depression, so I would approach them and simply asked if they were ok. Our society may tell us to ignore such gestures or cues, but I wasn't raised by society, I was raised by my parents, who taught me if I see something wrong to react to it, not to be a silent bystander.
Juci Shockwave Once, while my husband was walking on a sidewalk, a vicious fight started amongst a few men where it was two against one, and the one person was getting hurt quite badly. My husband felt compelled to try and help the man who was outnumbered, and being beaten, and in the process of doing this, my husband was stabbed with a knife in his ribs, mid section toward his back. I honestly don’t know what ever happened with the men fighting, but my husband was rushed to a hospital, where they saved his life from his extensive knife wound. My husband has suffered from PTSD ever since, even though he has gone for counseling concerning this matter. I’ve never heard him say that he regrets his actions from that day, however I am sure that he has thought about how he might be doing these days if he had not jumped in on that fight. Aahh, life. 😊
"Human Nature and Behavior are all upbringing and environmental experience, not Biological." this is just a false statement. everything is a combination of both upbringing and genetics to one degree or another. To ignore the importance of either side, and claim that either side alone is everything, is a mistake. Dr Mate does the very good work bringing light to the importance of the "upbringing" side, and the interconnectedness of everything, which likes to be swept under the rug in modern day culture. Even this entire talk of his is about this "BIO-psycho-social" perspective. His reference to Buddhism around the 8:30 mark is NOT just pointing to the importance of recognizing the impact line of Environemnt > Mind > Body, but recognizing them as one in the same, and not treating them as distinctly separate entities in our Culture, as well as in medicine. To create a culture that denies the importance of genetics and other biological truths will just lead to other societal problems associated with... denying the importance of genetics and the physical part of the biological organism outside of the "psycho-social" part(which you are making paramount). That attitude is a mistake. imo ofc
@@Shroomzee I'm pretty sure nobody will ignore biological needs, like need to eat, drink water, sleep, etc. Other than that, our well being, and especially mental well being is much more dependent on socio-economic factors. Not to mention we now may have our specifically physical needs met yet be more miserable than ever, and we are... As far as genetics, I think it's reasonable to think that without knowing even about the existence of genes, but having a caring and collaboration based society - we would've been a very happy, healthy and sane society.
@@naivenitara you are mouthing the defeatist narrative, playing into the hands of the powers that be. I would rather have him give it a shot, film it and put it online. Even if no-one (really?) in congress should listen, many others will, and minds will move over time. So will politics.
I am sorry to say the care that is given is sick care, health care is giving people the tools to eat and live healthy lifes with good knowledge about food and drinks and movement and most important emotional well being with nurtering community, appreciation fo one another, Gabor is telling you what is wrong with this culture(now they are even promoting promisquity and many more things which are not serving well being
Dr Gabor is a freaking genius and I hope his work continues until we can see a change in the world. We need more compassionate and caring doctors who treat patients as human and not just a diagnosis.
Dr. Mate was also featured in the independent documentary *Zeitgeist Moving Forward.* I highly recommend all watch it for a new train of thought and non-secular ideas on the root causes of aberrant behaviors, from addiction to violence. Good health to you all.
DR. MATE YOUR MESSAGE IS SO IMPORTANT. OUR FEELINGS, EMOTIONS, experiences stay in our minds and our responses and how we cope are and will always be there....suppressed. It reminds of the song by John Mayer...."SAY WHAT YOU NEED TO SAY" Children....when threatened are afraid to speak....their parents know something isn't right. Abused women feel these emotions also. THE TRACY THURMAN STORY. Please continue to educate us....you are a remarkable human being.....open our eyes, before we all kill each other with our own pain.🌹
Depression needs to be UNDERSTOOD ! A great friend of mine is suffering Greatly from Depression. He has NO financial worries, NO drink or drug problems whatsoever. To the "Outside world" he has everything, but, his depression is Crippling him. His family and others, tell him to "Give himself a shake and waken up." If only recovery was that easy ! Who would WILLINGLY want to suffer continually in silence. Depression IS an illness that kills ! Please try to encourage sufferers instead of harassing them and making them worse. It's easy to "Have an opinion" on Depression but, if you've NEVER suffered from it then you CAN'T UNDERSTAND IT ! Develop your Compassion and empathy and help people to recover instead of driving them to Suicide. LOVE to ALL 🌻
Depression always starts in the mind takes hold in the heart .I am sorry for your friend who is suffering from depression, I too was in a similar situation but with the love of my mother I recovered , I realised I needed to look after my mind, body, and soul . depression always starts in the mind and mind is made of this earth and all its expectations where's the soul/spirit is made of heavenly place and the body is just a vehicles for the mind and soul..I changed my diet to completely brain friendly foods then started going for long walks with family members a year I started research on faith, after lot of reading about different faith it is in Islam I found the clear path for the purpose of my life . why am I here? Where am I going ? And that was 18 years ago I now have five beautiful children a good job . Please I pray your friend find peace and healing recovers ..he will appreciate life in a whole ne way there's not a day goes that don't smile..I asked our souls creator to heal my illness and Allah answered my prayer..please be kind to yourself love yourself a little more each day..life is a temporary gift from above..it is cherished gift..
William I love you. I fully agree. don't let other people tell you that you should be happy when you have no financial worries and have strong willpower to resist obvious painkillers like drugs(legal) and illegal, alcohol, food, sex, gambling... distractions like tv, internet... Gabor said it wonderfully. A human being wants to express his true being and be loved and accepted. We are deprived of open meaningfull relations and are attending jobs which are not meaningfull and then we become depressed as we are witholding these feelings to be expressed, we don't see a way out, people committing suicide don't want to escape life, but they see now hope for relief of pain and a solution to their deepest desires(not the futile materialistic or superficial desires) these are often a replacement for the real needs who where unmet.
The things he's been saying, is what I've been saying for 20 years... And get further alienated from the people around me.. Because they're not capable of looking so deeply within themselves that their mind simply rejects the truth.. But without the a claim.. 👍
This man has my full attention when he speaks , he is most definitely a rare breed, I would say one of the greatest thinkers of our time. Thank you for you amazing humanitarian work I will always salute you Sir, you are Profound.
Watching this being pregnant with horrible morning sickness. It is so hard to remain unstressed but I will try even better after this video. Great man he is
Gabor Mate is a son of his mother.. we can't separate mind from body and individual from environment. The same is true for generations. We can separate the grandparents, from the parents, from us, from our children and grandchildren. This idea has hugely helped me for one year now.
What he is talking about is so deep, profound, and logical. This biopsychosocial framework is one of the most powerful I've ever come across in my reading and learning for understanding what a human being really is.
Lack of control. ignorance and uncertainty... yes indeed. Coping mechanisms range from education, spiritual practice, addictions, denial, dissociation, support groups, medications, etc. The idea is to reduce toxic load and enter the process. Detox might be a good place to start if one doesn't know what to do. At the very least, it will help to get a clearer mind. My preferred "weapon" is education and a healthy diet. I am far from being perfect but at least I feel empowered.
I can't get enough of his calm intensity. This man NEEDS to be a direct advisor to politicians throughout the U.S. so we can create better communities.
Wow! Fantastic. I'm literally 3 mins into his speech and he's so eloquently answering all if the questions and criticisms that I have of the way in which modern medicine is practiced. I absolutely love his work!
The only people our "culture" values are producers and consumers. So if you're not in that peak age range of spending money on junk you don't need and of chasing the career carrot, you are considered nearly worthless and invisible, if not outright burdensome and in the way.
As well as being incredibly useful to those of us who are coming to terms with the effects of early abuse on our later lives, this video is a wonderful reminder that those we meet are all on a journey of their own, often from dark to the light. It enables compassion. Thank you.
Super Intro by eloquent Lady in red. Dr Gabore Mate is profound soul, healer & evolved human being .. Appreciate Honor & Love him .. Thank you .. our Money based society, low quality food, & unhealthy bio ecological environments make all creatures & Nature itself sick .. we are all connected in the chain of life
I'm a retired clinical psychiatrist and author of "Stress R Us", a free PDF on the net, which defines "population density stress" as the root cause of ALL of our human "diseases of civilization". Gabor is a respected colleague and very worth listening to/reading.
If every single person in the would was made to watch this, we’d have an awful lot of enlightened people wandering around. Thank you, Dr. Mate, for a fantastic talk. As a mum of three, who decided to home educate, videos like this give me strength in the face of constantly swimming against the tide. Next time someone asks the inevitable questions, I’m going to point them in this direction 👏🏻💚
The only "same whole" that 'spirituality' points to is the fact that we all breathe the same air. "Spirit" simply means breath. To be spiritual is to be aware of your own breath. There really isn't anything else mystical about it.
I am so grateful for Dr. Maté’s work. I believe humans and humanity aren’t synonymous. I believe humanity is a very fragile thing and able to come forth under specialized circumstances. Some people get depressed and commit suicide. Others get depressed and want to kill both themselves and others. Humanity is being able to recognize the unity of all things. If you aren’t able to understand the connectedness of all things then you can not have legitimate love and compassion for others, be they human, animal, plant or planet.
Gabor’s words will still be valid even after he is gone and what an amazing thing that modern technology let’s anyone curious in the mind, body , and spirit learn what “they” have tried to keep us from understanding!
Thanks for the upload! Very insightful! We are truly interconnected. So it is time for us to make a friendlier society together. I am a 6th year medical student but the more I listen to people like Gabor Mate, the more I want to help people heal at a deeper mental level. Gabor is doing a ayahuasca retreat in South America in June but unfortunately I have exams.
Dr Mate is reading my heart I feel him 100% I keep talking to other the same things. I love this Man real Human, Smart with big HEART. Thank you for amazing lecture :)
A lot of what he says about generational cultural consequences that create stress that is passed on is studied in Biological Anthropology. Bio anthropology teaches how culture affects humans biology.
Last comment I’ll make on TH-cam I really dislike how materialistic culture gets into everything everything is tainted by it keep listening to Gabor Mate overtime you’ll understand and yourself and life more he’s very helpful
I was medicated for over two decades. Now off of everything for five years (the weaning process was pure torture) i can tell you what the side effects are, and they're not pleasant. I went to the doctor to inform him about the dangers of brain meds and walked out discussed with the medical industry; as i started to tell him how the meds have hurt me he got up, took a step back, raised his arms as if i was aiming a gun at him, and said "Hey, don't shoot the messenger.". That was five years ago and i haven't seen a doctor since. I'm now alone, dealing with these side effects on my own, with no one taking accountability for the failed experiment. ~ Yesterday ~ The Beatles ~
A wonderful pleasure to meet this man, beautifully presented, I look forward to listen to more. Humanity is screaming for this knowledge. God bless you.🍃🍁🍃🍁🍃🍁 Autumn in Australia.🌿🌾🌿🌾
AMEN! THANK you God....for allowing this doctor.....to help ALL Humanity! Self healing... without using any form of a substance or a pill...to heal your emotional wounds and scars.....is an ideal Self Talk therapy that I personally prefer! Dr. MATE...has profoundly changed my outlook and/or my perspectives about life. Thank you so much.... for loving your profession. In addition, I would also like to thank your Wife and Children....for sharing you with the whole GLOBAL World 🌎.....because I already know that you're an workaholic....your own family....had to make sacrifices- for you to help your patients. Thank you Mate Family 👪. Stay Encouraged, Tyra
50% of the daily stress in the USA is directly related to having your health insurance tied to a job. The other 50% of daily stress is knowing you can get fired tomorrow for no cause or because your boss doesn't like your socks.
“ lack of information” “ loss of meaning” .......seems to be my stress trigger, my loneliness. A simple connection. I’ve got work to do. Thank you, I feel hopeful.
Can't believe this hasn't had millions of views ! here I am in 2019 and his message is still as relevant as it was in 2012 he said he wasn't optimistic about it not being. What a tragedy that it is still as relevant 7 years later. What are we learning as a society and how come we don't really see any change ?
I had to stop the video on thr gut feelings part.. It hit me so hard, as I understand this apsect of what makes us whole in this body. All the beings living inside of us in communities, trying to keep the peace and balance.. When I was battling with wanting to eat foods that were causing gut issues, I remember saying to my ND, "I feel like there is something else, like bacteria inside of me, calling the shots on what I consume. It's like I have no say in the matter and I don't realize what I've done until the food is gone!" It caused me depression, and I'd say that I couldn't trust my gut instincts while in a bad way. Who is to say that the overgrowth of unhealthy bacteria were not the ones changing my mind! It used to be such an odd thought process of mine, and hearing this man's talks are helping me to understand that I am not so odd perhaps, in how I relate to myself and my environment. I am grateful!
The more I learn about Dr Mate, the more amazed I am. I consider him a great humanitarian and teacher.
For sure!!!
Truly, truly!
I consider him Jesus reborn. But no christians are looking for Jesus reserrection on TH-cam :D
Gabor Mate message can be a life saver for those in search of answers for their misery.
Here 👋
Interview starts at 3:11. This man is Nobel Peace Prize material.
tintrach Agreed!
Without doubt. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thx!
He won’t be knighted by the queen for his service to humanity that’s for sure, he’s not wanted by Interpol as far as I know so that rules him out
Dr. Gabor Mate is amazing, such insight of human nature. Spinoza a 17th century philosopher understood human nature in respect to the mind and his/her emotions. I have learned that pain and suffering is caused by confused thinking and the belief in freewill and free-choice is an illusion. As Dr. Mate explains that we are traumatized early, we carry this throughout our lives, where is the freewill in this? Strength is improving our understanding, knowing oneself. WayofSpinoza.com
Dr Mate is not bought and paid for by corporations. His sincerity speaks for itself.
I live in Sydney Australia, working in cancer research - where are the ppl who think like Gabor? sometimes I feel so alone
Cancer.. Then you might be interested in Dr. Bob Melamede if you're not already?
We are isolated and feeling alone just like you. Physically, our bodies are just somewhere else. I have always wanted to go to Australia. Great to cyber meet you
I am in Brisbane Australia, it must be hard to be working in cancer research and to be working with other researchers who do not have the same mindset that Dr Gabor Mate has. I assume this is what you mean. I can understand why you would feel alone if you have people around you who do not have the same intellectual ideology as you.
Helmut Gensen me too.
Rick Simpson. He's Canadian. Olivia Newton-John knows.
Thank you. 22 years as a college professor and I never worked with a "disturbed" or learning-challenged young person who didn't respond and make joyful progress immediately once they realized they had a friend who was really on their side. Am still in touch with most of them years later. It's only to say how right I think Dr. Mate is about these issues.
"...make joyful progress immediately once they realized they had a friend who was really on their side."
What a breath of fresh air! Therefore, even if we do make progress, that is long and hard to come by (joyless aka "willpower"/"practice and perseverance"), than we ought realize that any "therapist" that we often pay a fortune, who insists that mental and emotional problems take years of sessions and discipline to treat, is no friend at all, but an enemy who really is against us.
In 2012-13, I went to just such a "therapist". I wanted her to help me find a quick, easy, and guaranteed way to overcome mental/emotional problems, or at least the closest thing to it. Or at the very least, seriously DESIRE to help me find "immediate joyful progress" in overcoming mental/emotional problems. Or else, EMPATHICALLY show me that it would be a bad thing even if such did exist. But no, she sanctimoniously and close-mindedly INSISTED that no such thing exists! She clearly was NOT on my side! And I still have painful memories to this day, over five years after cessation of MALtreatment because of this fact!
She did not charge me a fortune. I'll give her that. In fact, she often let my sessions run overtime without additional charge (she was a friend of my sister who usually attended my sessions). But even if she did not charge anything, my mental and emotional state has clearly experienced greater harm than good on account of her influence. I have not been to any counselor/therapist/shrink since, and doubt I ever will go to another one.
BTW, don't brings friends or relatives to your shrink sessions with you, unless you are convinced that they are "on your side" on issues important to you. Otherwise, you will feel "ganged up against" if both the shrink and your accomplice disagree with you on any issue important to you. My sister's presence had been a blessing, until the very end, when both she and the shrink went against me re: quick, easy, and guaranteed, which made it a double whammy. Had my sister not been there, it would only have been half as bad.
Dr. Bronfenbrenner has been doing studies and research on the importance of a warm, loving socio-environment of classrooms since the 1920s and 30s. He said it best with this quote...
“In order to develop normally, a child requires progressively more complex joint activity with one or more adults who have an irrational emotional relationship with the child. Somebody's got to be crazy about that kid. That's number one. First, last and always.”
People have no idea how powerful a mentor can be, who adores the kid. I had seen more progress from students with InD who feel loved by those around them than y institutions with he latest gadgets and technology. The power of the human touch, such as a daily hello in the form of a fist palm, high five, hugs does wonders to a person with severe disabilities. The sense of being value is very powerful, yet highly underestimated in the education system, especially the public school system. The way their faces lights up upon seeing someone who actually authentically cares and loves them is worth all of the gold in the world to them. Never underestimate what a hug can do to another person.

"Factors that trigger stress: uncertainty, lack of information & loss of control."
So true. That's why (like every coaching programme confirms) I need to work on clarity fist and foremost. But what to do if the mere thought of that entails overwhelm and triggers additional Stress?
Lack of food and heat, too.

I hope everyone here can find ways to reconnect to nature, to community, and to self. Let's end the isolation.
The economic system and poverty in general, as well as lack of soul nutrition (music, film, humor, literature, language, etc) will make it impossible. People choose isolation for their own good; to avoid the bad.

Dr Gabor is 75. The world will lose a huge advocate and teacher when he is gone. What he is saying is extremely significant and sooooo detrimental to our society and our well being yet sadly it is still NOT incorporated in our health care system as it SHOULD be on EVERY level. Why? Because our health care system and more importantly our government is and will probably always be more invested in economics rather than the well being of their citizens.
Here in Canada, I have seen and experienced this lack of appropriate care on every level. Once a person is deemed "unproductive", be it physically or mentally, they simply become a burden to our society and are treated as such. There's little (if any) interest in getting to the root of the problem and handling people with care and compassion. As Dr. Gabor says, there is a medication for everything!
Unfortunately, Dr. Gabor is a RARE gem in his field and our world desperately needs more people like him!
Brasstacks but people like you and I will transmit his message when he’s gone.

He will live for many years to come tho - he is so healthy
This man's common sense thinking and compassion for humanity is a rare joy in this world.
Michael J unfortunately , I could not agree more. Society promotes narcissistic behaviour , in fact it rewards it. He is a rare gem to find someone with so much understanding and empathy.

Kindness is the thread that weaves us all together. It's what's missing from life. It's good to see the comments here. Makes me feel like some people still care about one another.

Finally a doctor who sees the human soul:):)
Bravo
I know. the medical industry and religion are loosing many of their own as people wake up all over the world.
That can afford to have a soul or precive that he does.
There are a few of us , you would be surprised :) Now finally a man who defined what was bothering many of the doctors and gave us deeper tool
Exactly what I think 👏 no doctor is aware of the patients soul and spirutal inner world or interested to find out the psychological factors,they treat people like piece of meat,take this medicine and forget about it,that's all you hear....
Material things validate the pride and imagination of the ego (greed). Joy, beauty and harmony validate the heart (love).
His opening comments that included "people who will be watching this a few years from now on the internet" show how deeply connected this man is to reality. He is always in the present moment... yet with his minds eye is lasered in on the future.
"What remains of democracy is largely the right to choose among commodities. Business leaders have long explained the need to impose on the population a ‘philosophy of futility’ and ‘lack of purpose in life’ to ‘concentrate human attention on the more superficial things that comprise much of fashionable consumption’. Deluged by such propaganda from infancy, people may then accept their meaningless and subordinate lives and forget ridiculous ideas about managing their own affairs. They abandon their fate to corporate managers and the PR industry, and, in the political realm, to the self described ‘intelligent minorities’ who administer power."
Noam Chomsky
That's one of the problems with Chomsky, he describes the relationshp as between self-interest masters and infantalised consumers, which isn't really going to convince many people that it's the system which engenders that relationship that must change. He makes it very us against them, when it should be all people against the social phenomenon that put us here.
To his credit Mate's description of the problem is much easier to digest, more empowering and more inspiring for it.
There's another consequence of a culture of consumerism. It systematically removes the infrastructure, material, architectural, and of inherited skills, which make it possible to live with less.
Tungstan Steel so true . So true .

Stressed out parents = downfall of the world. Ask yourself why is everyone so stressed out.
Agree
Ignorance. Not from the education system but from self love and self knowledge.
Everyone stressed due to slave jobs:
The monetary-market economic structure of the society is a failed experiment, but don't say that to economists or the whole "Capitalism vs Socialist" dogmatic sheep. God forbid you even mention a possible solution as "Resource-Based Economics" into the conversation... you'll be labeled either as a communist or socialist, even though neither of those two systems practice anything near to a resource-based economy.
Religious right ( Christians)=downfall of humanity according to this guy. Another manipulator separating us.
Battling everyday with family members who are stressed over financial concerns to the degree that they have cast themselves into psychological hell, seems that money is their drug, without it they go completely nuts... sickens me to the core... we live in a society of overgrown children, there is no initiation rites which would set most free from the ignorance which is holding their spirit hostage.... instead we are encouraged to drink ourselves sick on alcohol once of age , thereby welcoming us into the brotherhood of spiritual serfdom...
So I guess women don't have problems? Is there a sisterhood?

It is so reassuring that everything my parents did for us is of the same perceptions that these studies are proven to be the best ways to raise a family. I have always realized that when it comes to parents, I won the lotto max.
They must be incredible parents,you are indeed lucky.
Pass it on!
@Adam Jacobs Doesn't mean his life was always easy. Struggle can come from the rest of the world in every aspect of your life outside of parents. Your parents should be there to support and guide through the hard times. It's great to be able to overcome and raise above your hard childhood or difficult life without parents/family as a young person. But millions of peoples are struggling that way and at a certain level we would just be better off as a society with parents who can pass on good parenting/emotional/communication skills to their children. So I would say lucky and awesome to be conscious and grateful for it. especially valuable because he is able to recognize he was privilege to have wonderful parents .
@Adam Jacobs People struggle outside the home. Their parent's obviously did their job like they were supposed too. Sorry yours didn't.

@@GenwealthPartners this reminds me of four years ago, when in my freshman year of hs I came to the realization that war begets war, that hitler came to power, at least in part, because the devastation of Germany after WWI and the lack of economic aid thereafter, and that it was unlikely that Germany actually would have tried to attack the Lusitania, nor was it likely that Japan attacked Pearl Harbor (funny how both world wars were a started by a smaller, less powerful country doing something that was not in their strategic interest) I also learned that war is very profitable, so it was in the best interest of the rich (those who write the laws) to go to war. It's crazy that people think it's crazy to think that any war is based on false pretenses, because if you have ANY critical thinking skills you will come to the conclusion that they were started with false pretenses and a motive.
As a mother of 3 adult children, listen to what he has to say! I have witnessed everything in my own life as a mom raising children with a husband in this society.
A brilliant doctor. Thank you for all you do for humanity.
Gabor Mate needs to be given the biggest platform humanly possible...
It freaked me out when he referenced we'd be watching this years later. This stuff, man, I have a learning disability and I'm autistic. I really try to learn from these talks.
As a massage therapist for 21 years, I know exactly what Dr Mate is speaking of. I have actually found that every patient that comes in to see me who has an auto immune disorder, are people who have gone for years without breathing properly. They are breathing shallow, which engages the Fight or Flight nervous system, (Sympathetic). When the Flight or Flight is constantly engaged, the body's systems go haywire.
This is really interesting to me. I've been shallow breather most of my life. I struggle with food allergies, lymphatic inflammation, and severe GI problems. I've recently come to suspect my breathing relates to these problems and I've been making an effort to consciously breathe deeper. It actually helps a lot.

Mr. Dr. Gabor Mate. I wish I could sit with you and let you talk. It would be like sitting with Freud, Maslow, Alder, Horney, Pearls, Fromm, etc.
Your are unique. I understand what you say; every word.
Thank you for being who you are...
Me too!
He is above them, they were experts of mental diseases...Dr Gabor Mate sees and helps us to understands the full picture...connects the spiritual to the physical/emotional/mental, the East and West...which is why he is so unique, so deep, so complete, which is why we resonate so much with his insights.
And Marx.
I first was exposed to this man in the Zeitgeist movie Moving Forward. I highly recommend this man to those who don't have a clear understanding that Human Nature and Behavior are all upbringing and environmental experience, not Biological. Anyways thank you for uploading videos featuring this great man.
Rats are even sympathetic towards other species. Their sense of bonding with someone outside of themselves is so strong, they will seek out companionship and express sympathy towards those outside of their own species. Rabbits are like this too, which is why rabbits breed so fast and in the many numbers. Rodents (the group Rats and Rabbits belong to) hate being alone. I personally knew a few rats and rabbits who love being petted and having that close connection with humans.
As for gut feeling, I had so many cases to recall of responding to them, rather than ignoring them. This is especially true in my college years, in which I would find students with their head down within their arms while they were sitting in benches. I couldn't help, but to view that a stress gesture or gesture of depression, so I would approach them and simply asked if they were ok. Our society may tell us to ignore such gestures or cues, but I wasn't raised by society, I was raised by my parents, who taught me if I see something wrong to react to it, not to be a silent bystander.
Rabbits are lagomorphs
Juci Shockwave Once, while my husband was walking on a sidewalk, a vicious fight started amongst a few men where it was two against one, and the one person was getting hurt quite badly. My husband felt compelled to try and help the man who was outnumbered, and being beaten, and in the process of doing this, my husband was stabbed with a knife in his ribs, mid section toward his back. I honestly don’t know what ever happened with the men fighting, but my husband was rushed to a hospital, where they saved his life from his extensive knife wound. My husband has suffered from PTSD ever since, even though he has gone for counseling concerning this matter. I’ve never heard him say that he regrets his actions from that day, however I am sure that he has thought about how he might be doing these days if he had not jumped in on that fight. Aahh, life. 😊
"Human Nature and Behavior are all upbringing and environmental experience, not Biological." this is just a false statement. everything is a combination of both upbringing and genetics to one degree or another. To ignore the importance of either side, and claim that either side alone is everything, is a mistake. Dr Mate does the very good work bringing light to the importance of the "upbringing" side, and the interconnectedness of everything, which likes to be swept under the rug in modern day culture.
Even this entire talk of his is about this "BIO-psycho-social" perspective. His reference to Buddhism around the 8:30 mark is NOT just pointing to the importance of recognizing the impact line of Environemnt > Mind > Body, but recognizing them as one in the same, and not treating them as distinctly separate entities in our Culture, as well as in medicine. To create a culture that denies the importance of genetics and other biological truths will just lead to other societal problems associated with... denying the importance of genetics and the physical part of the biological organism outside of the "psycho-social" part(which you are making paramount). That attitude is a mistake. imo ofc
@@Shroomzee
I'm pretty sure nobody will ignore biological needs, like need to eat, drink water, sleep, etc. Other than that, our well being, and especially mental well being is much more dependent on socio-economic factors. Not to mention we now may have our specifically physical needs met yet be more miserable than ever, and we are...
As far as genetics, I think it's reasonable to think that without knowing even about the existence of genes, but having a caring and collaboration based society - we would've been a very happy, healthy and sane society.

I would love for someone to do that especially if they didn't get bribed instantly, With huge amount of money or a bullet to the head..

No, they wouldn't let him cos they don't like the bleedin' truth, the cowards!!
I am sorry to say the care that is given is sick care, health care is giving people the tools to eat and live healthy lifes with good knowledge about food and drinks and movement and most important emotional well being with nurtering community, appreciation fo one another, Gabor is telling you what is wrong with this culture(now they are even promoting promisquity and many more things which are not serving well being
Dr Gabor is a freaking genius and I hope his work continues until we can see a change in the world. We need more compassionate and caring doctors who treat patients as human and not just a diagnosis.
Dr. Mate was also featured in the independent documentary *Zeitgeist Moving Forward.* I highly recommend all watch it for a new train of thought and non-secular ideas on the root causes of aberrant behaviors, from addiction to violence. Good health to you all.
This is the most validated I've felt in months. God bless this man.
DR. MATE YOUR MESSAGE IS SO IMPORTANT. OUR FEELINGS, EMOTIONS, experiences stay in our minds and our responses and how we cope are and will always be there....suppressed. It reminds of the song by John Mayer...."SAY WHAT YOU NEED TO SAY" Children....when threatened are afraid to speak....their parents know something isn't right. Abused women feel these emotions also.

Depression needs to be UNDERSTOOD !
A great friend of mine is suffering Greatly from Depression. He has NO financial worries, NO drink or drug problems whatsoever. To the
"Outside world" he has everything, but, his depression is Crippling him. His family and others, tell him to "Give himself a shake and waken up."
If only recovery was that easy ! Who would WILLINGLY want to suffer continually in silence.
Depression IS an illness that kills ! Please try to encourage sufferers instead of harassing them and making them worse. It's easy to "Have an opinion" on Depression but, if you've NEVER suffered from it then you CAN'T UNDERSTAND IT !
Develop your Compassion and empathy and help people to recover instead of driving them to Suicide.
LOVE to ALL 🌻
Well said, William!
Agree
Depression always starts in the mind takes hold in the heart .I am sorry for your friend who is suffering from depression, I too was in a similar situation but with the love of my mother I recovered , I realised I needed to look after my mind, body, and soul . depression always starts in the mind and mind is made of this earth and all its expectations where's the soul/spirit is made of heavenly place and the body is just a vehicles for the mind and soul..I changed my diet to completely brain friendly foods then started going for long walks with family members a year I started research on faith, after lot of reading about different faith it is in Islam I found the clear path for the purpose of my life . why am I here? Where am I going ? And that was 18 years ago I now have five beautiful children a good job .
Please I pray your friend find peace and healing recovers ..he will appreciate life in a whole ne way there's not a day goes that don't smile..I asked our souls creator to heal my illness and Allah answered my prayer..please be kind to yourself love yourself a little more each day..life is a temporary gift from above..it is cherished gift..
Depression is a symptom, what exactly is bothering him? Maybe he getting older, feels like underachiver in some area, etc
William I love you. I fully agree. don't let other people tell you that you should be happy when you have no financial worries and have strong willpower to resist obvious painkillers like drugs(legal) and illegal, alcohol, food, sex, gambling... distractions like tv, internet... Gabor said it wonderfully. A human being wants to express his true being and be loved and accepted. We are deprived of open meaningfull relations and are attending jobs which are not meaningfull and then we become depressed as we are witholding these feelings to be expressed, we don't see a way out, people committing suicide don't want to escape life, but they see now hope for relief of pain and a solution to their deepest desires(not the futile materialistic or superficial desires) these are often a replacement for the real needs who where unmet.
The things he's been saying, is what I've been saying for 20 years... And get further alienated from the people around me.. Because they're not capable of looking so deeply within themselves that their mind simply rejects the truth..
But without the a claim.. 👍
My grand parents were married 60 years. My grandmother died. My grandfather died 6 months later. It’s believed he was heart broken.
The lady gave a beautiful introduction. Gabor Maté is doing unbelievable work.
Everything is connected with everything. He is outlining common sense. I hope so many people who have influence on our society and world take note.
This man is one of my favourite people in the world! This is so spot on, thank you!! 💜
This man has my full attention when he speaks , he is most definitely a rare breed, I would say one of the greatest thinkers of our time. Thank you for you amazing humanitarian work I will always salute you Sir, you are Profound.
Watching this being pregnant with horrible morning sickness. It is so hard to remain unstressed but I will try even better after this video. Great man he is
Long story short, Gabor Mate is a fckn genius.
Gabor Mate is a son of his mother.. we can't separate mind from body and individual from environment. The same is true for generations. We can separate the grandparents, from the parents, from us, from our children and grandchildren.
This idea has hugely helped me for one year now.
What he is talking about is so deep, profound, and logical. This biopsychosocial framework is one of the most powerful I've ever come across in my reading and learning for understanding what a human being really is.
He is spot on when he says for those of you who watch this a year later. Thank you for uploading
Such an amazing man. The more I listen to him the more peace I find.
Lack of control. ignorance and uncertainty... yes indeed. Coping mechanisms range from education, spiritual practice, addictions, denial, dissociation, support groups, medications, etc. The idea is to reduce toxic load and enter the process. Detox might be a good place to start if one doesn't know what to do. At the very least, it will help to get a clearer mind. My preferred "weapon" is education and a healthy diet. I am far from being perfect but at least I feel empowered.
He should be heard/read by everybody ..Amazing Humanitarian and a Verry Importen Voice.!
It gives me great optimism and confidence to read all these inspiring comments.
It is 06:47am on a Friday and I am not going into work today. It's a beautiful day as the sunrise shows. I hope everyone has a beautiful year.
Brought me to tears I understand so much more about myself and my loved ones after this.
I can't get enough of his calm intensity. This man NEEDS to be a direct advisor to politicians throughout the U.S. so we can create better communities.
Wow! Fantastic. I'm literally 3 mins into his speech and he's so eloquently answering all if the questions and criticisms that I have of the way in which modern medicine is practiced. I absolutely love his work!
What Dr. Mate lacks as a speaker he superbly compensates for with depth, relevance and content of his speeches - absolutely precious individual!
Our society has become so anti social.we hate everyone from children,to young adults to elders...its sad.
If 99% of people are bad/boring/etc., we don't have much of a choice.
The only people our "culture" values are producers and consumers. So if you're not in that peak age range of spending money on junk you don't need and of chasing the career carrot, you are considered nearly worthless and invisible, if not outright burdensome and in the way.
As well as being incredibly useful to those of us who are coming to terms with the effects of early abuse on our later lives, this video is a wonderful reminder that those we meet are all on a journey of their own, often from dark to the light. It enables compassion. Thank you.
Absolutely amazing. I hope this guy becomes a You Tube sensation. This message is so important and really needs to become general knowledge.

Thank you .. our Money based society, low quality food, & unhealthy bio ecological environments make all creatures & Nature itself sick .. we are all connected in the chain of life
I'm a retired clinical psychiatrist and author of "Stress R Us", a free PDF on the net, which defines "population density stress" as the root cause of ALL of our human "diseases of civilization". Gabor is a respected colleague and very worth listening to/reading.
Really interesting and i find it so relevant to my everyday life stress component
Does this relate to John B. Calhoun and his "rat universe" experiments?
So now that we all know population density causes stress, what do you propose to do about it? Move to the boonies? Btw, this is old news!
Whoever wrote that introduction knocked it out the park!
If every single person in the would was made to watch this, we’d have an awful lot of enlightened people wandering around. Thank you, Dr. Mate, for a fantastic talk. As a mum of three, who decided to home educate, videos like this give me strength in the face of constantly swimming against the tide. Next time someone asks the inevitable questions, I’m going to point them in this direction 👏🏻💚

Gavin Yates That’s a very interesting perspective. Sounds quite plausible.
There are faults in your logic.
It reminds me of spirituality, where everybody is part of the same whole rather than separate.
Charl Heynike Thats exactly what is pointed to - non-dualism
The only "same whole" that 'spirituality' points to is the fact that we all breathe the same air. "Spirit" simply means breath. To be spiritual is to be aware of your own breath.
There really isn't anything else mystical about it.

🙏 thank you for this talk. God bless Maté Gabor.
I am so grateful for Dr. Maté’s work. I believe humans and humanity aren’t synonymous. I believe humanity is a very fragile thing and able to come forth under specialized circumstances. Some people get depressed and commit suicide. Others get depressed and want to kill both themselves and others. Humanity is being able to recognize the unity of all things. If you aren’t able to understand the connectedness of all things then you can not have legitimate love and compassion for others, be they human, animal, plant or planet.
Gabor’s words will still be valid even after he is gone and what an amazing thing that modern technology let’s anyone curious in the mind, body , and spirit learn what “they” have tried to keep us from understanding!
Thanks for the upload! Very insightful! We are truly interconnected. So it is time for us to make a friendlier society together. I am a 6th year medical student but the more I listen to people like Gabor Mate, the more I want to help people heal at a deeper mental level. Gabor is doing a ayahuasca retreat in South America in June but unfortunately I have exams.
Very powerful speech. He was very spot on with the issues facing our society today
Dr Mate is reading my heart I feel him 100% I keep talking to other the same things. I love this Man real Human, Smart with big HEART. Thank you for amazing lecture :)
Such a brilliant doctor. God bless him and prolong his life.
A lot of what he says about generational cultural consequences that create stress that is passed on is studied in Biological Anthropology. Bio anthropology teaches how culture affects humans biology.
Very interesting comment, thanks for sharing that. It also sounds similar to epigenetics, from what I think I understand of that..
Oh good.
Last comment I’ll make on TH-cam I really dislike how materialistic culture gets into everything everything is tainted by it keep listening to Gabor Mate overtime you’ll understand and yourself and life more he’s very helpful
I was medicated for over two decades. Now off of everything for five years (the weaning process was pure torture) i can tell you what the side effects are, and they're not pleasant. I went to the doctor to inform him about the dangers of brain meds and walked out discussed with the medical industry; as i started to tell him how the meds have hurt me he got up, took a step back, raised his arms as if i was aiming a gun at him, and said "Hey, don't shoot the messenger.". That was five years ago and i haven't seen a doctor since. I'm now alone, dealing with these side effects on my own, with no one taking accountability for the failed experiment. ~ Yesterday ~ The Beatles ~
My God I'm sorry the Dr's did the same thing to my mom

"In this culture something powerfull happens to alienate you from your true self because the world couldn't stand who you really were"😪😪😪😪
Wise words! Let´s us help more people listen to Dr. Maté. It can only bring positive feelings and actions.
saints would kill for an introduction like that,..and so deserving.
How beautifully articulated, stress is caused largely because the forces influencing our lives are completely out of our control.
This lecture is so relevant today with lockdown & social distancing!
This human being is doing this purpose to leave his mark on this world. Inspiring!💝
50% of the daily stress in the USA is directly related to having your health insurance tied to a job. The other 50% of daily stress is knowing you can get fired tomorrow for no cause or because your boss doesn't like your socks.
Our just for showing everyone that he can fire anyone.
Or political views

@@user-pf4hc7de1x yeah. god forbid you exercise your right to vote for whom you want.
“ lack of information” “ loss of meaning” .......seems to be my stress trigger, my loneliness. A simple connection. I’ve got work to do. Thank you, I feel hopeful.
He’s the best ! Thank you for your dedication and service to many families and individuals. ❤️🙏🏽
Can't believe this hasn't had millions of views ! here I am in 2019 and his message is still as relevant as it was in 2012 he said he wasn't optimistic about it not being. What a tragedy that it is still as relevant 7 years later. What are we learning as a society and how come we don't really see any change ?
I had to stop the video on thr gut feelings part.. It hit me so hard, as I understand this apsect of what makes us whole in this body. All the beings living inside of us in communities, trying to keep the peace and balance..
When I was battling with wanting to eat foods that were causing gut issues, I remember saying to my ND, "I feel like there is something else, like bacteria inside of me, calling the shots on what I consume. It's like I have no say in the matter and I don't realize what I've done until the food is gone!"
It caused me depression, and I'd say that I couldn't trust my gut instincts while in a bad way. Who is to say that the overgrowth of unhealthy bacteria were not the ones changing my mind!
It used to be such an odd thought process of mine, and hearing this man's talks are helping me to understand that I am not so odd perhaps, in how I relate to myself and my environment. I am grateful!
2 books to read that talk more on this: why love matters and this book will change your mind about mental health. This was such a brilliant talk!
Dr. Mate is a brilliant man who raised an equally brilliant son. He must be very proud.
How do you know that? Assumption!
OMG! Love this guy! What an awesome human being! With a message that has been far too long in getting here - and yet so timely and welcoming to hear!
Bless you Dr. Maté; Bless you all.
Great power of truth has revealed itself through this man!
