    Tim Ferriss speaks with Dr. Gabor Maté, a physician who specializes in neurology, psychiatry, and psychology. He’s well known for studying and treating addiction. I’ve wanted to invite Dr. Maté to this podcast for a while because he is not only an expert in the pathologies of addiction, but he’s experimented with - and used successfully - tools that are perhaps outside the realm of traditional psychiatry. He is also a co-founder, along with Vicky Dulai, of Compassion for Addiction, a group that advocates for a new way to understand and treat addiction.

      Brilliant!
      95% of consciousness is believed to be unconscious.
      So if i am behaving in a fearful avoident manner in my romantic relationships, i am not so much responding to my partner so much as reacting to my past.
      The difficulty then, comes in trying to change the subconscious fearful avoident reactions. Difficult because only 5% of my behaviour is under conscious control.
      Any suggestions?

    I guess I just want somewhere to share my story.
    When I was 19 I took shrooms, and it was like I was turned inside out. As a child, I was very extroverted and loved being around people. And after the shrooms, I felt disconnected from everyone and everything around me. I just wanted to alone. I am learning to feel happiness from within myself, not running from myself. It's been a LONG and PAINFUL process but once it's healed, it's healed and beautiful

      @Mike Martinez - I think you know what your problem is, you are just scared to confront it.
      Cos when you open the box once....all of the pain comes in flooding your entire being. But once you have started "feeling" again, you can manage the pain too, it just takes time.
      And if your parents were addicts, your problems are: child neglect, abandonment, emotional unavailability of the parents (hense your aggression - it's actually towards them), repressed anger, a massive emotional "hole" due to the lack of security and parental love.
      And you need to change your environment + find a job if you want to change something. The same environment / "friends" will push you back to the same

      A memory or a nightmare depending on whether you integrate healthy lessons in life into your daily practice or unhealthy ones, which so many traumatised people struggle with understanding the difference between what is healthy or unhealthy for them due to the cognitive dissonance and trauma bonding that has taken root in their psyche through years of being gaslit, verbally and physically abused and other toxic experiences from Narcissistic parent/parents and other significant childhood figures.

      The difference between a true seeker and a feed-me.
      Like, some people have one psychedelic experience in their life that is vague and unspectacular and they derive lifechanging insight from it. Someone else visits an ayahuasca circle every week and they can cruise on for decades without learning anything transformative. (Although an unlikely extreme, since then aya likes to hit you hard when you least expect it. I heard of cases where someone with a self-image of a spiritual guru took the brew and later told the shaman he realized what BS it all was. But at first he very much stuck to it. It took some time to process.)

    I'm the youngest of seven, when I was four years old my family separated. Three brothers were sent to biological father, oldest sister who was my care giver married and went away, second sister went to foster care, the cat went to the pound, my mother stopped working two full time jobs and was able to "care" for me, my stepfather appeared, and I was told to love him. One brother closest to me in age was my now only sibling, he became a narcissist and learned the ability to manipulate my emotions, zero empathy, all the classic abuse modes including rape. My mother was filled with grief and often questioned her decision, twiddled her hair with worry and often spoke of "did I do the right thing". Stepfather spoke little but provided for us. All my siblings and parents are dead now, I've experienced chronic pain for 40 years as well as an alcohol addiction that lasted until two years ago. I'm 63 and feel like I've survived but haven't lived. I'm on a spiritual path to find my way home.

My mother had untreated Paranoid Schizophrenia when I was a small child. You are correct adhd can be genetic and just happen, other reasons. My adoptive daughter let me know even though mine is trauma induced hers in genetic. One thing I would warn people about is be careful tying trauma responses to bad parenting. I've struggled with this a long time. My parents were both severely abused. I think in the big picture it's time to accept or forgive and move on.

I just don't see how anyone manages to achieve that, as the reason they start the addiction is still going to be there, and there seems to be no help with 'curing' those reasons. You are just told to pull yourself together and take responsibility for yourself. There's no kindness and self-worth boosting.

The distinction between traumatic vrs trauma inside disconnecting a person from her emotions and forming defensiveness in others is such a helpful concept rather than blame and guilt over addictions.

    FINALLY-somebody is out there talking about the long term effects of stress on more than just aging adults (where it’s acknowledged as a serious problem). My entire family has problems with depression and anxiety, and it all goes back to an emotionally, verbally, and sometimes physically abusive household that was the result of my father’s having been under an extraordinary amount of stress. Our parents loved us and one another, but they had some serious problems that took them decades to work out. And I was seriously, horribly, dangerously ill for two years in early childhood. I know that’s why some of my coping mechanisms have not been very healthy; they work in the short term, but they have bad consequences. It’s nice to hear someone lay all this out in such a cogent discussion. It’s helping me figure out what to do next to try and get back some emotional health, because I’ve been operating at probably one-quarter capacity for years and years now. Thanks for this-

    This was brilliant. The sooner we acknowledge neurological diversity as neuroadaptive mechanisms, the better we will be able to journey with each person away from their suffering and more toward expressing their positive potential in the world. Dr. Mate’s journey gave me much insight into my own as a physician, albeit 30 years trailing. Thank you for helping me unlock a part of myself, Mr. Ferriss and Dr. Maté! As an OBGYN, I have focused much on women’s stress levels. But ultimately, addressing this problem requires a cultural shift and marked advancement in the consciousness of people individually and collectively.

      The mechanism is simple. The interposed foreskin decreases the friction between the introitus and the glans. The unretracted foreskin consists of a thin dermis that is folded on itself with very little friction between the layers. As the penis advances, the foreskin unrolls so that the portion that makes initial contact with the introitus is 6 cm. Up the shaft before any friction occurs between the device and the skin.

      Circumcision removes the most important sensory component of the foreskin - thousands of coiled fine-touch receptors called Meissner's corpuscles. Also lost are branches of the dorsal nerve, and 10,000-20,000+ specialized erotogenic nerve endings of several types. Together these detect subtle changes in motion and temperature, as well as fine gradations in texture.
      Meissner's Corpuscles are found in our lips and fingertips. They're there for us to detect the lightest of touches. So take your hands and rub them together. Feel that friction? This is the sensation that is not supposed to be felt during intercourse.
      Size of the Foreskin - Its NOT just a 'flap' of skin!
      "First, a dissection feasibility study was performed in eight male cadavers. Dissection proved feasible, and the mean surface area of the prepuce, when folded out, was 46.7 cm2. (7.2 square inches)"

      Post-Circumcision Sexual Sensitivity Self-Test
      www.fathermag.com/health/circ/sensitivity-test/
      How Much of Your Sexual Sensitivity Has Been Cut Away?
      A circumcised (anyone can use this - for us circumcised, this is our only way) man can assess how important his missing skin is by testing his remaining sexually sensitive tissue as follows:
      In an aroused state, caress the skin downwards, starting from the end of the penis.
      When your stroke crosses the scar line, note the stark difference in sensitivity. The amount of sensitive area you have remaining between the scar line and the glans is just a sample of what you had before your circumcision.
      This sensitive region is normally much larger and folded inside the foreskin in the intact male, where it is moist and protected from constant stimulation. After circumcision, what remains of this region is exposed, dried out, and greatly desensitized.
      Child circumcision was designed in an attempt to reduce the sexual appetite by reducing the amount of pleasure sexual stimulation can provide you.

    Never depressed, happy with friends, sisters, with what I have, and do in my life, working on the land as volunteer. I'm 72, passionately retired from the obligation to work for an income.
    I've met depressed people in my life, and one thing they need to deny, is suppression of their emotions.
    It seems that because the depression is a coping mechanism, which is habitual,
    they don't want to let go of that what is like the last straw to hold on to, see?
    I believe that this is why depression, and alcholism, other addictions as well, is explained as genetically determined. Or a bad functioning of dopamine levels in the brain.
    So that such a person feels relieved, it's not his/her fault. The depression is enough suffering: "No, please don't say it's my fault!"
    And the medical industry has a loyal customer, as long as the cure is delayed or postponed. The loop closes.
    I agree with Dr.Gabor Mate's perception of depression and addiction, his skill of people-whisperer is showing in this video.

    Tim, you're one of a kind in your kind and patient hosting of your guests. And this interview, the Stuff of Life, much healing in there for those who can get beyond their own impulse to malicious response to a cruel life. I was a loveless child, and a hate filled youth. I wanted to become a professional assasin in my young days. But one grows up and learn. A good friend once told me....Gustav, once you leave the hate behind, life starts. Respect to people like you and Dr Mate, in a world filled with fear, hatred, and sheer malice. Heroes do not wear capes. They wear dignity and insight.

    It's so nice to hear a person use the word shame accurately. We live in an often toxic & ignorant culture, and words like narcissist, shame, and even more frequent "toxic" itself are often weaponized and used incorrectly. I mean it's pretty odd how everyone's ex is a narcissist considering how few NPD's actually exist. Toxic is likely the most frequently used, and used by people who want to get their way. All of these words are important, but often used to manipulate.
    I mean of course Gabor uses them right, as they are a core part of his work.
    We can thank the socials for taking any good thing and using it reckless AF.
