Theo does nothing for Gaza, the poor, and the disadvantaged besides make money off their suffering. He’s pro war and a pro Zionist promoter. In bed with Musk, rfk , trump and Rogan. All Complete grifter scum bags who only act like they care

to think of a child, ANY child, having the thought of "something is so wrong with me, I *deserve to be killed*" is utterly heartbreaking. all children are innocent souls, ALL children.
I agree as a general rule. But psychopaths exist. Joffreys of game of thrones exist. Neurological deficits exist. But I do believe thst people like this can still be socialised - but they still exist.
Many kids, even if they don't say it out loud or even take the time to acknowledge it to themselves, subconsciously blame themselves for bad things that happen to them. If I were a child in a place that was constantly being tormented, bombed, and villainized... I'd definitely start to think I was on "the bad side" and that I must be bad in some way. It's heartbreaking to put yourself in their shoes and really think about what their thought processes must be
Palestinian here and I am truly touched that Theo and Gabor Mate are having a genuine conversation between two moral and humane people. May God bless you. ❤
I hope we finally see the day when you Palestinians get to recover your homeland from the grip of these evil oppressors and you are able to walk freely without fear. Love from Pakistan. We have our own share of problems as our corrupt leaders forever bow to the whims of the west, but you should know that the Pakistani people always feel for you and stand with you. We do not recognize "Israel" and never will.
As a therapist, can I just say that by interviewing professionals like Gabor Maté, Theo is reaching more people and helping people who wouldn’t typically reach out for help understand the impact of trauma more than any therapist, BetterHelp commercial (oh we’ve all seen our fair share of them) or other podcasts and platforms by a million-fold. Bravo Theo and thank you so much for your voice, vulnerability, humor, and genuine want to understand trauma. Not only for your own healing, but for your viewers as well. You are a lovely and cherished human being.
Yes this 80 yr old is very well preserved. It would be nice if he had solutions, rather than theories only that do help understand the situation, but go no further. C'est la vie.
I drive a truck. It’s my longest working day of the week and I stay away from home tonight. I started listening to this at the start of my shift and all I want to do now is go home and spend time with my kids. I think we do quite well with our kids at our home - but I now want to do even better. Thanks for the podcast man. I’ve took so much from it
Enjoy the good times and the bad times. You have the responsibility and gift of shaping their realities. They will appreciate it… may hot happen right away but they will. hope it all goes well :). I’ll be calling my dad after reading this.. don’t appreciate him enough I think.
If you have at least a year under your belt you can find a local trucking job where you're home every night. Maybe you'll take a hit in pay but if you think about it, you'd pay a few hundred a month to be home.
Theo is the ultimate man. This is true masculinity. Not scared to laugh at himself and not acared to cry for millions to see. Not scared to change his mind and not scared to read a book and learn. He is truly one of the best of humankind.
Dude. Y'all calling out my hyperbole with a fictional character? Obviously you understand fantastical description-- don't police my narrative choices 😂
you do that when you get treatment for it. you see the reality of it rather then live in the denial of it using humor. im from vancouver its a real problem here homes are 2.5million or more and you need 2 incomes at 100k not to mention its 3900 for a one bedroom. there isnt any hope here. everyone drinks and does coke soccar moms do coke.
Yup. If we all had processed our trauma there would be no laughter. No comedy. No drugs. No pubs. Just a big Buddhist chilled out ommm... thank god our parents fucked us up is all I can say.
@@MrNncon3900 a month for a one bedroom apartment???????? Jesus christ. You could literally buy all the coke in scar faces nose for that😂 no wonder people are taking drugs how would you even get through the day working knowing you're going to pay somone a month what the house you live in cost your grandparents to buy and pay off outright in their 50s!! What is the average wage?
@@Padraigp This isn't true at all. Not all comedy and joy and fun and consumption stems from true. You can drink and do drugs without being an addict. You can be funny without having experienced great pain or rejection as a child. This can't genuinely be your take away from the conversation

I followed a journalist in Gaza that passed away earlier this year & the video of his car being bombed still haunts me. I know I couldn’t mentally handle that as an adult. I feel so heartbroken kids just see that type of bloodshed every day.
If our adult brains cannot process the horrors we can only see through our phones, imagine seeing it in person for over a year and only being a kid. I can’t fathom a portion of the childhood traumas in Palestine… Free Palestine🇵🇸
@@Knifymoloko it’s just truth. If a fact over-complicates a statement, then it’s too simplistic and doesn’t cover all the bases. Not trying to be a dck, but some things shouldn’t be put into quotes and be reacted to with renown
His book on ADHD had a huge impact on my and my family. I had failed out of college and am now close to graduating law school after being able to get a handle on what was happening in my head. That he’s such a compassionate human with good politics was just a bonus.
You cannot make it in the world of comedy without being an intelligent person. Theo knows this and that’s why he “pretends to be dumb” most of the time. Theo is one smart motherfucker.
I simply stunned that you have Gabor Maté on, he is one of the best minds on healing from trauma. Extremely grateful you got the chance to introduce the way he thinks to your audience!
GANG GANG! I’ve been wanting him to be on here. The world needs to hear Gabor’s knowledge. Gabor was on The Aware Parenting podcast. Aware parenting is changing the world. I’m an Aware Parenting Instructor
Anyone else find themselves casually reading the comment section while watching/listening to the podcast? Without even knowing it, Theo has cultivated a community amongst his listeners. Yes, he’s a comedian, but he uses his podcast/platform to strip away all ego and lay it all out there with extreme vulnerability. He’s a naturally curious person, and, in sharing his curiosity, it’s like he’s opening up little pockets of support all throughout the comment sections.
I agree. It's funny cus during the podcast Theo says, "If I were a leader", and I thought, he's cultivated a community of people that come from a lot of different walks of life to see things from the same perspective and share a vulnerable moment together. Sounds like a leader to me already.
I dont usually comment on videos. Theo is doing an amazing thing - being vulnerable as a male on a worldwide platform. So many of us men struggle with vulnerability due to learnt behaviours, and it is constantly reinforced by pop culture, social media and society in general. To see two men openly talking about this stuff, in an intelligent and serious way, is infinitely important. Thank you Theo. Keep it up!
How sad, that, as a female I didn't consider how they're being open and vulnerable. How it's just okay for me and my female acquaintances to be sad or extremely honest. I feel bad that I forget how men feel they cannot be this way.
80, if one is healthy and well, really isn’t that old these days. Having said that the aging is exponential at that age. The difference between 85 and 80 is not the same as between 75 and 70. And by 90 everyone is truly ancient, even if they’re doing great and still have some years to go.
@@daddymcpapi7520 sounds parasocial, and virtue signaling. I like the content but i dont care about his growth because hes not a person in my life. I reserve those feelings for people i actually know. Treating a creator like they are a person in your life in that way is parasocial.
I'm Palestinian and Lebanese, my dad was Lebanese from Sabra, Beirut in Lebanon and my mom is from Shatila refugee camp nearby. They're survivors of the 1982 Israeli-backed Sabra and Shatila massacres that killed 3,000 people. It wasn't like October 7th where half of the victims were Israeli security forces and many of the victims were killed by Israeli helicopters or taken hostage. It was a full-on ONLY massacre, pulling people out of their homes, lining them up against the wall, shooting them and their children dead. Raping the women, penetrating women's genitals with guns and pulling the trigger, all at the direct order of Israel. These people are no strangers to the horrors of October 7th, they just don't like it when it happens to them.
A short history lesson on wikipedia would teach people that this conflict is very old and very galvanized. People so often choose ignorance. Thank you for your comment
Im sorry about your family suffering from Israel and still continues to be backed by USA and the European colonizers:( I’m from Afghanistan 🇦🇫 tryst me when I tell you are not alone, I relate to your suffering and unfortunately it still continues. Can you imagine 20 years of so much corruption and violence and they allowed the Taliban back in power. No education for girls, they are trying to vilify Islam as a barbaric religion. We all know full well how much knowledge encouraged in Islam. If it was muslims in Andalusia and Babylon Europe would gave been in dark-ages. Im proud to be a Muslim because it teaches us justice , fairness and respect 🤲
@@Laatenzin…so thankful you listened. I’m in recovery and people like Theo and Gabor are tremendously helpful as I continue on this journey!! Blessings & Peace 🙏✌️
Gabor saved my life. Years of rehab, med assisted detox, relapsing and I was near death ☠️ it wasn’t until I discovered Gabor and his teachings about childhood trauma, opioids and addiction. I was able to heal when I could easily pinpoint the root cause of my disease, that I didn’t feel loved. Opioids made me feel love. I was just surviving. Glad I’m past that. Thanks Gabor 🙏 it’s a privilege and honor to listen to you speak and absorb the truth.
I have never viewed what's going on in Gaza like they just explained. I can't imagine a child thinking something so wrong with them they don't deserve to live. That's sooooo sad. And later what that will do to them. Most will turn to violence against others. Man that was eye opening. The saying has never more rang true. "An innocent child is a happy and healthy child"
It's tragic Palestinian leaders teach children that their highest goal is to unalive themselves in order to destroy their neighbors. That is what Gaza has done to its youth. Watch their children's programs for yourself to see the hatred they are raised with. It's child abuse.
1:09:20 I think Theo was tearing up when Dr. Mate was talking about the children in Palestine. Bless his heart. Theo is such a gentle soul. Thank you Theo for all you do. Edit: Please refrain from commenting about which country or ethnicity is responsible. Let's all agree that human suffering is tragic.
He absolutely was. You could tell he really went there for a moment mentally and emotionally. “Imagine some kid over there in Gaza looking up and there’s a bomb and they think man I’m so horrible I deserve to be bombed.” Heartbreaking & horrifying what we human beings will do to our brothers and sisters. All out of fear and hate, for power and control.
Theo has mastered the ability to be hilarious, loving, empathetic, kind and an incredible interviewer. He is truly one of a kind. And we are blessed to have him. Continued blessings to him.
Theo is a gem. He doesn't have to be as open and honest as he is (gracefully not aggressively), but look at him, out here inspiring the rest of us to try it too.
Theo’s podcast/youtube is therapy to the world, it’s an absolute godsend to me. Love Theo so much and I’ve never met the man. God bless and Gang Gang baby
This was basically a free 2 hour therapy pod cast. I've learned more about myself & others around me here than I believe I could from any paid session over years of time. Thanks again Theo!
It reminds me of Jimmy by Tool. “Under a dead Ohio sky Eleven has been and will be waiting Defending his light and wondering Where the hell have I been? Sleeping, lost, and numb I'm so glad that I have found you I am wide awake and heading home”
Theo using this platform to interview Gabor Mate is a great service to the world. Gabor’s work & perspective of addiction has made the world a better place - good on you Theo.
Dude i cant believe you have mr mate on. I was deep in alcoholism and coke use one night coked up but sick of it and heard a speech he was giving that brought me to tears. I will always remember that moment and how badly i needed to uear what he said . Im so thankful for this theo
He really is amazing. The first video I ever saw of him where he explained what a wound is and what a wound does made me love him instantly. He explained it in such a human way. I would love to sit and chat with Mr.Mate 🥲
My mother is a narcissist who suffered from abuse as a child, my father was an addict my whole life. I had a series of stepfathers who ranged from physical abuse, sex addicts, and emotionally unavailable. At age 12 I was dumped on my grandmother who suffered from depression and who was mentally and emotionally abusive. I grew up with the “what is wrong with me” question all the time, I had trouble processing my own emotions and spent most of my adult life in fight or flight mode. When I became a parent myself, i wanted to be different from my own parents but didn’t know HOW. It was conversations like this that have helped me identify what I need to work on and how to be a present, available, patient, and a loving parent. I’m not the perfect parent but these conversations ARE SO IMPORTANT in the work I put into being a parent. Theo is out here doing the lords work!! THANK YOU!!
That’s awesome you can appreciate this kind of conversation and willing to do different from your childhood experiences. The cliche what doesn’t kill make you stronger is true. You will be the end of family trauma if you keep up. God bless you and much love!!
Your story is so relatable. At 16 I got married was pregnant. My entire motivation was to be the opposite of father and my grandmother (my mother was murdered when o was 9) but my motivations to be better for my children gave me the life I have today. I wouldn’t change a thing! My children made every trauma worth it! I hate to say it but it gave me the drive to make sure no matter what my children never had to experience what I went through
Theo got me out here tearing up while at work everytime he has these trauma experts on. He's really given me a lot more insight on my life and realize what's "wrong" with me and why I am the way I am. I've never been a fan of celebrities. But I love Theo, he's changing my life
I’ve had the same thing I’ve realised a lot about myself and had serious self reflection in work while listening to his solo episodes and when he has guests like this on
This is Theo's magum opus. I feel like he's been training for years with various interviews, tim fletcher is one that comes to mind, but this one is just fucking perfection. I'm a school teacher and I'm trying to figure out how to incorporate Theo videos into my classroom. Thank you theo!
@@theconfusingchannel3170Exactly. Joe also falls in love with the sound of his own voice at times in my opinion. Theo has alot more humility in my opinion. Theyre both great but I also prefer Theo and Lex Fridman pods
Theo is the king of opening up and being vulnerable.. that emotional rawness sucks people in.. people that want to feel something will gravitate to Theo.. Rogan is more about learning something, maybe a little more ego drive with him too
Theo Von and Ta-Nehisi Coates conversation would be absolutely mind-blowing. Please try to have him on the pod if he’d be willing to come on. Thanks for the episode, Theo!
I bet he'd be willing to come on. He talked to that racist asshole on CBS in that ambush of an interview. I'm sure he would like to talk to a nice and actually curious guy like Theo
Hearing Theo Von of all people asking a physician to dive into concepts like unprocessed trauma is doing more for viewers around the world than big corporate media has done for the last 30 years. Thank you Theo. We can see your growth as an interviewer and a man. Sending love.
The timing is so crazy, talking to a therapist about my neglect as a child and how it’s affecting me as an adult. She recommends me Gabor Mate, and then boom, this video drops. The universe is crazy.
“We need an emotional revolution”…. now that’s a slogan Theo is starting from his quest to find himself is helping us connect more with who we’re meant to be…not who we pretend to be….and dr.Mate is a treasure for our society
I’d argue Theo is a far more interesting conversationalist than JRE. Theo has a humility about him and a sincerity, eagerness to learn and understand that JRE doesnt really delve into. Theo has a very unique perspective that makes him so intriguing. I would agree that he’s benefited from seeing how the JRE pioneered podcasting in a way that was open format and allowed the journey to just be. It doesn’t have to be pigeonholed into any one genre.
@@jaxb.8351did any of you even watch the interview? I swear I just looked at 6 top comments not a single one talks about a single thing in this hour long interview with super intelligent guess the worst part is most of these real accounts but ChatGPT responses super generic and all the same I’m disappointed in TH-cam with the amount of bots like you
@jpk9902 he's been rich since before king and the sting , he makes more money from one theater show than most of us do all year, I don't understand why he tries to act poor he's been wealthy since college days when he was on real world , which is fine enjoy your money he worked for it , just don't act poor too try and relate to fans !!

What a beautiful human being.. such a genuine conversation. He didn't try to assert his intelligence, he didn't seem condescending.. it was truly a great pod!
Thank you, Theo. I'm not sure if you fully comprehend the impacts of this interview, but it's extraordinary that this specific information is reaching your audience. It has to be one of, if not the most, important interview you've done. Thank you for being so vulnerable & eager to better understand the world we're all living in. L
Theo’s got me tearing up. When he said “I lament some of the feelings from my youth” but insinuated he didn’t place blame. That really resonated with me.
I'm currently in rehab, working through addiction and trauma, so this couldn’t have come at a more perfect time. Understanding how much of our false self is rooted in childhood experiences has been a profound realization. It’s both overwhelming and liberating because now, for the first time, I feel empowered to challenge those long-held beliefs. I’m grateful for this journey, and I love you, Theo❤
These are the TWO PEOPLE who pushed me to get the help that I needed in one room talking about things that change peoples lives. 💖 I wish I could talk to Theo and just thank him for using his platform to talk about this kind of stuff. I wish I could give him a hug 💙 you are loved Theo
I’m grateful Theo is sharing his personal struggles to a literal Doctor in a small way a bit of a therapy session, because I can connect to a lot of the struggles Theo talks about, and I can really appreciate the professional opinions of Dr. Gabor Maté
He has made some fantastic contributions to our understanding of addiction, but at the same time he's had a childish degree of arrogant Trump Derangement Syndrome. Pretty pathetic. I was a huge supporter of his for years, but then he went and revealed his true colors. Trump really has been an amazing catalyst to show who people really are underneath all their fancy academic pomp.
This has trurly become the best podcast on TH-cam in general, not only in the comedy genre. The selection of guests is godly, much love and respect man, kudos.
I love that Theo has made a platform where he’s taking his trauma and his journey to help all of us, he knows he’s not alone and he’s out here trying to heal a damaged nation. What a hero
As a mother,and friend to other parents who have lost a loved one to addiction, now in excess of 100 thousand. You both are a light of hope that real help will become a reality , I thank you from the bottom of my broken heart. Thank you so much.
It is amazing how Theo has used his platform to do so much good in the world. Somehow he has managed to take the dark parts of his life and turn them into light and healing for others. It truly is inspiring.
I'm 25 minutes into this, and I don't think I've watched a podcast that hits home this hard. I own "The Myth of Normal" I've just never had the opportunity to read it on a clear mind. I feel like this podcast is giving me the coles notes version. Thank you, Theo, for your courage to have these conversations.
Theo is incredibly vulnerable and it invites people into a deeper conversation and connection. I pray that this continues. He is having conversations we all need to have, with curiosity and love. He is doing the inner work and its quite beautiful and meaningful to witness.
Gabor Matè is literally my favorite author, thought leader, change maker. The best sentence I read is- if we could all just be safe containers for our children, we could heal this world. Thank you Gabor!❤🎉
On the topic of loneliness. I think it's directly correlated to our podcast interests. We want to feel apart of a long form conversation because it's greatly lacking in most of our lives.
MASSIVE respect for your humanity on this matter Theo. And thank you for having the wonderful Dr Mate on. This is a very important conversation more people need to be having.
Right on cue. Was having a rough one today. Can't begin to express what a relief it is to listen to the types of souls who understand n GET IT. Its so comforting. Much love to everyone on their journeys 💗
Two amazing human beings right here, the type of men our world desperately needs! My biggest take from Gabor has been that trauma is not only something that happens to you, it can be something that doesn't happen to you; early neglect, rejection and abandonment can have devastating and lifelong consequences, literally affecting the physiology of your brain. But the authentic self is never lost, when you REcover, you reconnect with something that is always there.
Im a reactive attachment disorder specialist. this interview is right up my alley. I study how being adopted, in some cases from traumatic orphanages, has a negative effect on developmental trauma and building who a person is. It can lead to addiction, poor self image, inability to trust others, inability to build healthy relationships or attachment to mother and father figures. Very interesting stuff!
Gabor Mate changed my life, just like that, randomly, with the gems of truth he's dropping about addiction. He helped me beat my compulsive gambling addiction indirectly, just by his honest statements. Thank you for having this man Theo, you are the man!
Pain, its always there, just buzzing in the background, sometimes its loud, sometimes its silent, but its there and its very hard to even understand what is causing it, thank you for this podcast!
1:50:47 “It is interesting that you say all these insightful things, and you keep asking me if they make sense or not” Like Gabor said here man, thank you for the incredible podcast.
Seriously I COULD NOT be more impressed Theo!! I got on here this morning to listen for a laugh and see that you’ve interviewed my all time favorite trauma specialist and was so stunned!! I’m so thankful for you and the vulnerability and bravery it takes to keep growing on the public eye and at the impact you’re having on everyone watching 🤍
What are the odds I’ve recently been deep diving into Gabor Mate’s books and interviews and fell in love with his viewpoints. Such a perfect guest to have on!
The smoke was building in me for 30 years and it wasn't until I became a mother that I was entirely consumed by flames. The trauma and neglect I lived through made it impossible for me to leave my newborn. I wouldn't go to the bathroom because I was so paranoid that I would neglect her. I kept it to myself and when I had my second child I couldn't keep up the "perfect" standard of care I had established. I finally started getting help to process my childhood trauma. Theo, you are such a good soul. It's aspirational that you are introspective and working on yourself. I pray for you and hope that you find happiness.
@Priest92 I'm still working through it. A combination of therapy and medicine is what's helping. Having children and raising them has been incredibly healing. Being outside, playing in the sand, or giving them safety/love are amazing forms of therapy for me. I have trust issues, and I'm hypervigilant so I have to moderate them to an appropriate level.
Your children will thank you one day, either directly or indirectly when they unknowingly succeed because of your efforts to be a better mother during their development

I'm so glad Theo called it a genocide instead of fearing backlash.
it shows how much of a grip on power they have when people cant call something what it actually is.
@Barney-ii1no yep. Just like when people criticize zionism or the Israeli government and they accuse people of antisemitism for it.
They will ruthlessly destroy the the life of anyone who even slightly criticizes them.
@nerthus4685 there is no will, they are, they have and they will.
About time
Theo actually using his platform and not beeing afraid of speaking about Gaza openly is the reason why I will always support him.
He said one beautiful thing , I forgot where, hhe said I always look who has less money. Who is weaker. Always on the side of weak and poor.
Same here. All love for Theo waking Americans up
Theo does nothing for Gaza, the poor, and the disadvantaged besides make money off their suffering. He’s pro war and a pro Zionist promoter. In bed with Musk, rfk , trump and Rogan. All Complete grifter scum bags who only act like they care
Love his fans as well, refreshing to see his fans on the right side of history. Maté is a beautiful treasure.

I've already loved Theo for years now, but recently he has gone so much higher in my estimations in his search for the truth and what is right.
to think of a child, ANY child, having the thought of "something is so wrong with me, I *deserve to be killed*" is utterly heartbreaking. all children are innocent souls, ALL children.
I agree as a general rule.
But psychopaths exist. Joffreys of game of thrones exist. Neurological deficits exist.
But I do believe thst people like this can still be socialised - but they still exist.
Many kids, even if they don't say it out loud or even take the time to acknowledge it to themselves, subconsciously blame themselves for bad things that happen to them. If I were a child in a place that was constantly being tormented, bombed, and villainized... I'd definitely start to think I was on "the bad side" and that I must be bad in some way. It's heartbreaking to put yourself in their shoes and really think about what their thought processes must be
This.
Crazy that the humanity of Palestinian children is something up for debate in 2024
Someone needs to explain this to the Israeli govt
Palestinian here and I am truly touched that Theo and Gabor Mate are having a genuine conversation between two moral and humane people. May God bless you. ❤
I hope we finally see the day when you Palestinians get to recover your homeland from the grip of these evil oppressors and you are able to walk freely without fear. Love from Pakistan. We have our own share of problems as our corrupt leaders forever bow to the whims of the west, but you should know that the Pakistani people always feel for you and stand with you. We do not recognize "Israel" and never will.
Stay safe out there friend
If you’re so moral, maybe release the hostages?

I drive a truck. It’s my longest working day of the week and I stay away from home tonight. I started listening to this at the start of my shift and all I want to do now is go home and spend time with my kids. I think we do quite well with our kids at our home - but I now want to do even better. Thanks for the podcast man. I’ve took so much from it
that is so beautiful!
Enjoy the good times and the bad times. You have the responsibility and gift of shaping their realities. They will appreciate it… may hot happen right away but they will. hope it all goes well :). I’ll be calling my dad after reading this.. don’t appreciate him enough I think.
Be thankful you have them and they aren’t being shelled with your tax money, like the children of Gaza.
More awareness needs to be raised.
That’s awesome. Move forward with beautiful patience!
If you have at least a year under your belt you can find a local trucking job where you're home every night. Maybe you'll take a hit in pay but if you think about it, you'd pay a few hundred a month to be home.
Theo is the ultimate man. This is true masculinity. Not scared to laugh at himself and not acared to cry for millions to see. Not scared to change his mind and not scared to read a book and learn. He is truly one of the best of humankind.
Theo is good, but ultimate man? Settle down. Theo's not Aragorn.
@@jasonibanez9855 bro, Aragorn is a fantasy character 😅
@@UnknownDinoan archetype, but masculine nonetheless.
Don't fall into the pure materialist worldview. It's OK to relate to the fictional ideal.
@@UnknownDino Yeah, no shit. That's the point. "ultimate man" IS fictional.
Dude. Y'all calling out my hyperbole with a fictional character? Obviously you understand fantastical description-- don't police my narrative choices 😂
It's wild how sophisticated Theo can be one minute and a total donut the next.
Absolutely love this guy.
authenticity. he's open to expressing himself as the moment requires. prolly accidentally learned that from comedy
He’s a true Pisces.
His mind is a wonderful place
Any such thing as a false one, @nataliaalfonso2662 ?
I love this comment lmao ❤
I love the way Gabor doesn’t laugh at Theo’s jokes about trauma, he seems to hear the sad truth in them
He definitely finds him funny though. Like after the comment on growing pains lol
you do that when you get treatment for it. you see the reality of it rather then live in the denial of it using humor. im from vancouver its a real problem here homes are 2.5million or more and you need 2 incomes at 100k not to mention its 3900 for a one bedroom. there isnt any hope here. everyone drinks and does coke soccar moms do coke.
Yup. If we all had processed our trauma there would be no laughter. No comedy. No drugs. No pubs. Just a big Buddhist chilled out ommm... thank god our parents fucked us up is all I can say.
@@MrNncon3900 a month for a one bedroom apartment???????? Jesus christ. You could literally buy all the coke in scar faces nose for that😂 no wonder people are taking drugs how would you even get through the day working knowing you're going to pay somone a month what the house you live in cost your grandparents to buy and pay off outright in their 50s!! What is the average wage?
@@Padraigp This isn't true at all. Not all comedy and joy and fun and consumption stems from true. You can drink and do drugs without being an addict. You can be funny without having experienced great pain or rejection as a child. This can't genuinely be your take away from the conversation

I followed a journalist in Gaza that passed away earlier this year & the video of his car being bombed still haunts me. I know I couldn’t mentally handle that as an adult. I feel so heartbroken kids just see that type of bloodshed every day.
If our adult brains cannot process the horrors we can only see through our phones, imagine seeing it in person for over a year and only being a kid.
I can’t fathom a portion of the childhood traumas in Palestine… Free Palestine🇵🇸
I love that Theo is never too scared or embarrassed to admit anything he's been thru.
Never too embarrassed to admit that he doesn't know something, either.
He truly just cares about helping people. When he started crying talking about the Palestinian kids…man 😢
Theo out here doin the most! 🙌🏻🙏🏻
I think he plata dumb
I could list so many admirable qualities Theo has. His intuition is well developed.
“The attempt to escape from pain, is what creates more pain.” ― Gabor Maté
“More” is a misnomer. It’s a different kind of pain
😮💨
Hummm interesting 🤔
@@Realdrlipschitzwhy complicate it?
@@Knifymoloko it’s just truth. If a fact over-complicates a statement, then it’s too simplistic and doesn’t cover all the bases. Not trying to be a dck, but some things shouldn’t be put into quotes and be reacted to with renown
Theo crying for Palestinian 🇵🇸 people will forever be make me sad. I wish I could tell you brother we all feel that way watching what’s going 😢
❤
💖💖🙏
The Israelis don’t feel bad. Ask Ben Shapiro
We are all crying. 😢😢
Many Israelis are not crying but are celebrating the carnage
His book on ADHD had a huge impact on my and my family. I had failed out of college and am now close to graduating law school after being able to get a handle on what was happening in my head. That he’s such a compassionate human with good politics was just a bonus.
curious whats the book called?
@ Scattered Minds. Its mentioned in the interview as well
Also had a profound impact on my understanding of ADHD and myself
Theo is WILDLY intelligent. This conversation is evidence of that. Two men openly discussing these topics is SO important. Thank you Theo
So important. Hoping it gives more men permission to open up. 🥹 so ready for a culture of healing men.
His wisdom about "integration" was a real eye opener, dude is clearly a smart guy.
He goofy but not dumb in anyway and insanely funny Ratt king!
Came here to say the same thing.
You cannot make it in the world of comedy without being an intelligent person. Theo knows this and that’s why he “pretends to be dumb” most of the time.
Theo is one smart motherfucker.
I simply stunned that you have Gabor Maté on, he is one of the best minds on healing from trauma. Extremely grateful you got the chance to introduce the way he thinks to your audience!
I was shocked to see Tim Fletcher on recently. This conversation is unbelievable. Theo is doing Gods work.
That was so awesome and random
GANG GANG! I’ve been wanting him to be on here. The world needs to hear Gabor’s knowledge. Gabor was on The Aware Parenting podcast. Aware parenting is changing the world. I’m an Aware Parenting Instructor
the guy is a hack

Respect to Dr. Gabor for acknowledging the suffering of the children of Gaza.

Anyone else find themselves casually reading the comment section while watching/listening to the podcast? Without even knowing it, Theo has cultivated a community amongst his listeners. Yes, he’s a comedian, but he uses his podcast/platform to strip away all ego and lay it all out there with extreme vulnerability. He’s a naturally curious person, and, in sharing his curiosity, it’s like he’s opening up little pockets of support all throughout the comment sections.
I agree. It's funny cus during the podcast Theo says, "If I were a leader", and I thought, he's cultivated a community of people that come from a lot of different walks of life to see things from the same perspective and share a vulnerable moment together. Sounds like a leader to me already.
Yes, same! 🦋
I dont usually comment on videos.
Theo is doing an amazing thing - being vulnerable as a male on a worldwide platform. So many of us men struggle with vulnerability due to learnt behaviours, and it is constantly reinforced by pop culture, social media and society in general.
To see two men openly talking about this stuff, in an intelligent and serious way, is infinitely important.
Thank you Theo. Keep it up!
this is a beautiful comment
How sad, that, as a female I didn't consider how they're being open and vulnerable. How it's just okay for me and my female acquaintances to be sad or extremely honest. I feel bad that I forget how men feel they cannot be this way.
Get this comment to the top ❤️
This man is 80??? Holy shit dude he looks so good and is so clear minded. Also, great conversation Theo. Thank you!
Still slowing down, imagine how sharp he was 45 years ago
He is very sharp for that age for sure
80, if one is healthy and well, really isn’t that old these days.
Having said that the aging is exponential at that age.
The difference between 85 and 80 is not the same as between 75 and 70. And by 90 everyone is truly ancient, even if they’re doing great and still have some years to go.
And he looks better here than when he was in the midst of his self-proclaimed stress spiral! He is the real deal!
@@briantruck2284duh ya dope
6:47 Theo being prepared with his notecards is so sweet. I love seeing Theo’s growth first and foremost!

Oh well aren't you just fantastic!@HotMonkeyDik
I'm Palestinian and Lebanese, my dad was Lebanese from Sabra, Beirut in Lebanon and my mom is from Shatila refugee camp nearby. They're survivors of the 1982 Israeli-backed Sabra and Shatila massacres that killed 3,000 people. It wasn't like October 7th where half of the victims were Israeli security forces and many of the victims were killed by Israeli helicopters or taken hostage. It was a full-on ONLY massacre, pulling people out of their homes, lining them up against the wall, shooting them and their children dead. Raping the women, penetrating women's genitals with guns and pulling the trigger, all at the direct order of Israel. These people are no strangers to the horrors of October 7th, they just don't like it when it happens to them.
The wiki sure is more nuanced then Israelis under direct order carrying out the order
A short history lesson on wikipedia would teach people that this conflict is very old and very galvanized. People so often choose ignorance. Thank you for your comment
Bro literally started spouting revisionist rhetoric about an Arab massacre of the Jews, then claimed to be a “humanitarian” 😂😂😂😂
Im sorry about your family suffering from Israel and still continues to be backed by USA and the European colonizers:( I’m from Afghanistan 🇦🇫 tryst me when I tell you are not alone, I relate to your suffering and unfortunately it still continues. Can you imagine 20 years of so much corruption and violence and they allowed the Taliban back in power. No education for girls, they are trying to vilify Islam as a barbaric religion. We all know full well how much knowledge encouraged in Islam. If it was muslims in Andalusia and Babylon Europe would gave been in dark-ages. Im proud to be a Muslim because it teaches us justice , fairness and respect 🤲
yea...ask them about the civil war in lebanon.
When Theo started this podcast years ago, I never thought it would become a significant part of my recovery from addiction. Probably saved my life
Stay strong mate. Ypu got this 🎉
@@Laatenzin…so thankful you listened. I’m in recovery and people like Theo and Gabor are tremendously helpful as I continue on this journey!! Blessings & Peace 🙏✌️
Big love to you on your journey … you deserve sobriety and happiness in your life ❤
He's a gem for us for sure! A shining light!
Proud of yall. ❤
Gabor saved my life. Years of rehab, med assisted detox, relapsing and I was near death ☠️ it wasn’t until I discovered Gabor and his teachings about childhood trauma, opioids and addiction. I was able to heal when I could easily pinpoint the root cause of my disease, that I didn’t feel loved. Opioids made me feel love. I was just surviving. Glad I’m past that. Thanks Gabor 🙏 it’s a privilege and honor to listen to you speak and absorb the truth.
Love hearing you were able to make some progress. You are loved.
@@slcinaus love you too ❤
I’m proud of you. I’m grateful you’re here and doing well
Thank you for sharing this!
Nice!
I love this conversation. "When people are in pain, don't look at their genes, look at their lives." simple and brilliant
What if he said "jeans"? 🤔
I have never viewed what's going on in Gaza like they just explained. I can't imagine a child thinking something so wrong with them they don't deserve to live.
That's sooooo sad.
And later what that will do to them. Most will turn to violence against others.
Man that was eye opening.
The saying has never more rang true. "An innocent child is a happy and healthy child"
70 years of oppression and now genocide, its the worst thing I have ever looked into, and they just get away with it all
It's tragic Palestinian leaders teach children that their highest goal is to unalive themselves in order to destroy their neighbors. That is what Gaza has done to its youth. Watch their children's programs for yourself to see the hatred they are raised with. It's child abuse.
1:09:20 I think Theo was tearing up when Dr. Mate was talking about the children in Palestine. Bless his heart. Theo is such a gentle soul. Thank you Theo for all you do.
Edit: Please refrain from commenting about which country or ethnicity is responsible. Let's all agree that human suffering is tragic.
He absolutely was. You could tell he really went there for a moment mentally and emotionally. “Imagine some kid over there in Gaza looking up and there’s a bomb and they think man I’m so horrible I deserve to be bombed.” Heartbreaking & horrifying what we human beings will do to our brothers and sisters. All out of fear and hate, for power and control.
Damn Israel
His son is The Buzzsaw. Gabor is a sage.
Meanwhile jordan peterson: give them hell Netanyahu!!
Jordan has dodged a debate with this man for years!!
Y'all really underestimate radical Islam🤣🤣 thank God for Israel🙏
Theo has mastered the ability to be hilarious, loving, empathetic, kind and an incredible interviewer. He is truly one of a kind. And we are blessed to have him. Continued blessings to him.
He's great. A real gem.
Those are astrological known keywords for Pisces: Loving, empathetic and kind. Theo is a Pisces and thats no coincidence
@@Schoppenheer it’s a pure coincidence
Long live Theo Von!
Theo is a gem. He doesn't have to be as open and honest as he is (gracefully not aggressively), but look at him, out here inspiring the rest of us to try it too.
He’s so genuine! And flipping hilarious

@@miladyproductions his ability to reply and slip in a joke at the same time it’s just what makes him who he is

Right lol!
Buying the book now. Gabor Mate doesn’t know it but he is one of my mentors. Deeply grateful for his work.
This was basically a free 2 hour therapy pod cast. I've learned more about myself & others around me here than I believe I could from any paid session over years of time.
Thanks again Theo!
Dr. Mates books are also incredible and you can find many of this talks on TH-cam. My life changed when i discovered him
Wonderful time we live in when so many resources are right at our fingertips.
“How do we treat each other knowing we all have wounds?” 🥺 wow 💛
"I can't help but look." "Like a kid waiting on a dock for a boat to come." He's such a sweet soul.
It reminds me of Jimmy by Tool.
“Under a dead Ohio sky
Eleven has been and will be waiting
Defending his light and wondering
Where the hell have I been?
Sleeping, lost, and numb
I'm so glad that I have found you
I am wide awake and heading home”
Just crying thankful for everyone here in the comments and Theo and dr. Gabor
Theo using this platform to interview Gabor Mate is a great service to the world. Gabor’s work & perspective of addiction has made the world a better place - good on you Theo.
Dude i cant believe you have mr mate on. I was deep in alcoholism and coke use one night coked up but sick of it and heard a speech he was giving that brought me to tears. I will always remember that moment and how badly i needed to uear what he said . Im so thankful for this theo
Love this for you. Do you remember which speech
WOW😮
Do you have the title for the speech on TH-cam ?
He really is amazing. The first video I ever saw of him where he explained what a wound is and what a wound does made me love him instantly. He explained it in such a human way. I would love to sit and chat with Mr.Mate 🥲
Who else caught Theo’s pun when Dr. Gabor said he left a woman in labor to buy a Mozart CD? Theo hit him with the “That’s classic”
Thank you! So glad somone else caught that.
It’s weird how it would have bothered me so much more if it had been “The Best of Vengaboys (Australian Tour Edition)”.
Was actually just searching for this comment 😂
@@onepartyroule "WE LIKE TO PARTY" was literally the only song I cared about from ages 5 to 9
@@StickHits Oh boy. How did your parents cope? >.o
Props for having Dr. Mate on the show. The more people hear and see of him the better.
My mother is a narcissist who suffered from abuse as a child, my father was an addict my whole life. I had a series of stepfathers who ranged from physical abuse, sex addicts, and emotionally unavailable. At age 12 I was dumped on my grandmother who suffered from depression and who was mentally and emotionally abusive. I grew up with the “what is wrong with me” question all the time, I had trouble processing my own emotions and spent most of my adult life in fight or flight mode. When I became a parent myself, i wanted to be different from my own parents but didn’t know HOW. It was conversations like this that have helped me identify what I need to work on and how to be a present, available, patient, and a loving parent. I’m not the perfect parent but these conversations ARE SO IMPORTANT in the work I put into being a parent. Theo is out here doing the lords work!! THANK YOU!!
Sending love
That’s awesome you can appreciate this kind of conversation and willing to do different from your childhood experiences. The cliche what doesn’t kill make you stronger is true. You will be the end of family trauma if you keep up. God bless you and much love!!
Your story is so relatable. At 16 I got married was pregnant. My entire motivation was to be the opposite of father and my grandmother (my mother was murdered when o was 9) but my motivations to be better for my children gave me the life I have today. I wouldn’t change a thing! My children made every trauma worth it! I hate to say it but it gave me the drive to make sure no matter what my children never had to experience what I went through
❤
Godspeed
Theo's curiosity is off the charts love this guy. Gabor is a beautiful soul
Theo got me out here tearing up while at work everytime he has these trauma experts on. He's really given me a lot more insight on my life and realize what's "wrong" with me and why I am the way I am. I've never been a fan of celebrities. But I love Theo, he's changing my life
I’ve had the same thing I’ve realised a lot about myself and had serious self reflection in work while listening to his solo episodes and when he has guests like this on
I met him after his show some years back. He debunks the never meet your hero’s narrative. Seriously an incredible dude, I also love him.
God bless brother. Having these insights come to conscious awareness is the first step - only up from here ☀️
Keep at it friend! You’ll get there.
I hear you!! Same here🙏☮️
This is Theo's magum opus. I feel like he's been training for years with various interviews, tim fletcher is one that comes to mind, but this one is just fucking perfection.
I'm a school teacher and I'm trying to figure out how to incorporate Theo videos into my classroom.
Thank you theo!
Theo is officially the new pod king. Sorry, Joe. Times change
1000% agree
agreed
@jacobkuntflapp I think it'd because Theo allows himself to be more vulnerable...and he is more relatable.... Joe is great but different
@@theconfusingchannel3170Exactly. Joe also falls in love with the sound of his own voice at times in my opinion. Theo has alot more humility in my opinion. Theyre both great but I also prefer Theo and Lex Fridman pods
Theo is the king of opening up and being vulnerable.. that emotional rawness sucks people in.. people that want to feel something will gravitate to Theo.. Rogan is more about learning something, maybe a little more ego drive with him too
Theo Von and Ta-Nehisi Coates conversation would be absolutely mind-blowing. Please try to have him on the pod if he’d be willing to come on. Thanks for the episode, Theo!
Yesssssssss
This. He has to have ta nehasi on. Has to
I bet he'd be willing to come on. He talked to that racist asshole on CBS in that ambush of an interview. I'm sure he would like to talk to a nice and actually curious guy like Theo
Hearing Theo Von of all people asking a physician to dive into concepts like unprocessed trauma is doing more for viewers around the world than big corporate media has done for the last 30 years. Thank you Theo. We can see your growth as an interviewer and a man. Sending love.
i saw a lot of gabor inteviews but this is my favorite because of how genuine the interviewer is
The timing is so crazy, talking to a therapist about my neglect as a child and how it’s affecting me as an adult. She recommends me Gabor Mate, and then boom, this video drops. The universe is crazy.
Been done & is being done in Israel @ the moment ,many social experiments, israeli is the kibbutz, takes a village to be raised up properly, agreed
That’s amazing! Theo knows just what we need🥰
The Universe is giving you what you need. All you had to do was ask. ❤
Exactly what ^ they said! The universe will align for you.
Damn, you're definitely on the right path. If you had any doubt this sign was your confirmation
“We need an emotional revolution”…. now that’s a slogan Theo is starting from his quest to find himself is helping us connect more with who we’re meant to be…not who we pretend to be….and dr.Mate is a treasure for our society
Theo has an innocence and genuine curiosity that seems to be rare these days. I truly enjoy his conversations.
I want this podcast to inspire all good people to live to 80, 90 or 100 yrs old and not drop out because of overdose. 😊
Theo is honestly doing a better job than television. His interviews are so much more insightful and meaningful than anything on TV.
Theo has taken the torch from jre, tpw has become the best place for unique conversations
I’d argue Theo is a far more interesting conversationalist than JRE. Theo has a humility about him and a sincerity, eagerness to learn and understand that JRE doesnt really delve into. Theo has a very unique perspective that makes him so intriguing. I would agree that he’s benefited from seeing how the JRE pioneered podcasting in a way that was open format and allowed the journey to just be. It doesn’t have to be pigeonholed into any one genre.
Guy should just admit he's one of the richies now tho cuz this is getting ridiculous
Theo plays dumb too much he's not really like and sometimes it's annoying
@@jaxb.8351did any of you even watch the interview?

Thank you, Theo. I'm not sure if you fully comprehend the impacts of this interview, but it's extraordinary that this specific information is reaching your audience. It has to be one of, if not the most, important interview you've done. Thank you for being so vulnerable & eager to better understand the world we're all living in. L
Theo’s got me tearing up. When he said “I lament some of the feelings from my youth” but insinuated he didn’t place blame. That really resonated with me.
I'm currently in rehab, working through addiction and trauma, so this couldn’t have come at a more perfect time. Understanding how much of our false self is rooted in childhood experiences has been a profound realization. It’s both overwhelming and liberating because now, for the first time, I feel empowered to challenge those long-held beliefs. I’m grateful for this journey, and I love you, Theo❤

I’m grateful Theo is sharing his personal struggles to a literal Doctor in a small way a bit of a therapy session, because I can connect to a lot of the struggles Theo talks about, and I can really appreciate the professional opinions of Dr. Gabor Maté
Theo gives light in dark times. Keep doing your thing man, we all appreciate you and what you do.
“bunch of hug hunters” as a hug hunter this killed me 😂
Theo can somehow make any concept accessible to everyone, I love it.
Are you a ghost now?
I could listen to Dr. Gabor Mate forever. His voice is so smooth.
Gabor is a very very good man. Thanks for having him on.
He's a snake oil salesman
He’s a quack grifter who blames all addictions and everything on childhood trauma.
@@jzen1455 hahahahaha okay
@@jzen1455 Is that what you get from what he is saying? You need to get your ears checked my dude.
He has made some fantastic contributions to our understanding of addiction, but at the same time he's had a childish degree of arrogant Trump Derangement Syndrome. Pretty pathetic. I was a huge supporter of his for years, but then he went and revealed his true colors. Trump really has been an amazing catalyst to show who people really are underneath all their fancy academic pomp.
This has trurly become the best podcast on TH-cam in general, not only in the comedy genre. The selection of guests is godly, much love and respect man, kudos.
I love that Theo has made a platform where he’s taking his trauma and his journey to help all of us, he knows he’s not alone and he’s out here trying to heal a damaged nation. What a hero
As a mother,and friend to other parents who have lost a loved one to addiction, now in excess of 100 thousand. You both are a light of hope that real help will become a reality , I thank you from the bottom of my broken heart. Thank you so much.
The real OG of mental health in the modern world, the honorable Dr Gabor
It is amazing how Theo has used his platform to do so much good in the world. Somehow he has managed to take the dark parts of his life and turn them into light and healing for others. It truly is inspiring.
Lightworker.

Yup. 🙏🏼💗
This was a brilliant exchange and interaction between these two! So honest, forthright and real!
I'm 25 minutes into this, and I don't think I've watched a podcast that hits home this hard.
I own "The Myth of Normal" I've just never had the opportunity to read it on a clear mind. I feel like this podcast is giving me the coles notes version.
Thank you, Theo, for your courage to have these conversations.
Read it, friend.
Theo really is the only podcast worth listening to nowadays. He’s a real one holding it down 💪 cheers from Australia Theo, and great guest choices
I pretty much only listen to Theo and Take Your Shoes Off with Rick Glassman, they both provide unique perspectives with interesting guests

Bullsh. He’s a latecomer
Tell me you're closed minded without telling me you're closed minded..
I never miss The Honeydew with Ryan Sickler.
AINT NO WAY. I’ve been binging Gabor Mates content the past 2 weeks and then Theo pops out with this??? IM READY
Theo is incredibly vulnerable and it invites people into a deeper conversation and connection. I pray that this continues. He is having conversations we all need to have, with curiosity and love. He is doing the inner work and its quite beautiful and meaningful to witness.
I had to put down The Myth of Normal as soon as I saw this notification lmao. This is my DREAM PODCAST GUEST
GABOR FANS RISE 🦅🦅🦅
Gabor Matè is literally my favorite author, thought leader, change maker. The best sentence I read is- if we could all just be safe containers for our children, we could heal this world. Thank you Gabor!❤🎉
On the topic of loneliness. I think it's directly correlated to our podcast interests. We want to feel apart of a long form conversation because it's greatly lacking in most of our lives.
I so agree with this.
This is so true!
1000000000000%
right on, back in the old day "podcasting" was listening to the tribal liders/elders or having a communal meeting.
I relate to your comment. Very insightful!!
Thank you for talking about Gaza. I love all the guests you’ve had on lately Theo.
Gabor Mate juxtaposed with the Hulk Hogan book behind him is the perfect summary of This Past Weekend

Theo Von doesn't even realize how much he's impacted the world for the better. His father would be proud.❤
MASSIVE respect for your humanity on this matter Theo. And thank you for having the wonderful Dr Mate on. This is a very important conversation more people need to be having.
I like how he called out Theo saying brilliant things and then asking if he makes sense, great episode
Right on cue. Was having a rough one today.
Can't begin to express what a relief it is to listen to the types of souls who understand n GET IT.
Its so comforting.
Much love to everyone on their journeys 💗
hope tomorrow is better ❤
Two amazing human beings right here, the type of men our world desperately needs! My biggest take from Gabor has been that trauma is not only something that happens to you, it can be something that doesn't happen to you; early neglect, rejection and abandonment can have devastating and lifelong consequences, literally affecting the physiology of your brain. But the authentic self is never lost, when you REcover, you reconnect with something that is always there.
Gabor Mate is a very respectable, intelligent, and humble guest. Great work theo
These doctors Theo has had on speaking about childhood trauma has really helped verify my thoughts and feelings
Same, bro.
Im a reactive attachment disorder specialist. this interview is right up my alley. I study how being adopted, in some cases from traumatic orphanages, has a negative effect on developmental trauma and building who a person is. It can lead to addiction, poor self image, inability to trust others, inability to build healthy relationships or attachment to mother and father figures. Very interesting stuff!
A lot of Palestinian kids will need u! 🙏🏼
Thank goodness for you. We do not have enough people with an expertise in reactive attachment
Gabor Mate changed my life, just like that, randomly, with the gems of truth he's dropping about addiction. He helped me beat my compulsive gambling addiction indirectly, just by his honest statements. Thank you for having this man Theo, you are the man!
Theo, I’ve seen your progression over many years. Young man, you’ve become one HELL of an interviewer! Good on ya, Brother!
Can't wait to listen. Perfect podcast to celebrate my 1 year sobriety ❤
Congratulations!!
Hell yeah! Proud of you, Ken!
My 1 year was last week 👏 we doing it!
Congrats! Great job!!! 🎉
@@stephenholmgren405Congrats! 🙏🏽
Pain, its always there, just buzzing in the background, sometimes its loud, sometimes its silent, but its there and its very hard to even understand what is causing it, thank you for this podcast!
Being Arsenal fan might be one of the causes
@@edgars5531 good one Edgar, its not as bad lately
One of the best qualities Theo has is that he is so self-aware
I’m only 12 mins in and I want to cry. “the world was build to make you feel welcome as you are” 😭
1:50:47
“It is interesting that you say all these insightful things, and you keep asking me if they make sense or not”
Like Gabor said here man, thank you for the incredible podcast.
I loved that part. I’m sure Theo knows he’s brilliant, but I hope Dr. Gabor Maté’s acknowledgment served as confirmation.
Theo.. that sweet, darling heart of yours. Thank you for not shying away from vulnerability. It helps more than you could know.
Seriously I COULD NOT be more impressed Theo!! I got on here this morning to listen for a laugh and see that you’ve interviewed my all time favorite trauma specialist and was so stunned!! I’m so thankful for you and the vulnerability and bravery it takes to keep growing on the public eye and at the impact you’re having on everyone watching 🤍
What are the odds I’ve recently been deep diving into Gabor Mate’s books and interviews and fell in love with his viewpoints. Such a perfect guest to have on!
The smoke was building in me for 30 years and it wasn't until I became a mother that I was entirely consumed by flames. The trauma and neglect I lived through made it impossible for me to leave my newborn. I wouldn't go to the bathroom because I was so paranoid that I would neglect her. I kept it to myself and when I had my second child I couldn't keep up the "perfect" standard of care I had established. I finally started getting help to process my childhood trauma.
Theo, you are such a good soul. It's aspirational that you are introspective and working on yourself. I pray for you and hope that you find happiness.
Wow, thank you for sharing this
@eeayquetting5963 thanks for reading
@@dianasmith5303did you get through or still working on it
@Priest92 I'm still working through it. A combination of therapy and medicine is what's helping. Having children and raising them has been incredibly healing. Being outside, playing in the sand, or giving them safety/love are amazing forms of therapy for me. I have trust issues, and I'm hypervigilant so I have to moderate them to an appropriate level.
Your children will thank you one day, either directly or indirectly when they unknowingly succeed because of your efforts to be a better mother during their development
Thank you for being so vulnerable, Theo. You make so many of us happy ❤
