I'm a retired 78yo psychiatrist/addictionist/recovered addict-alcoholic/stress researcher, HUGE fan of my fellow Buda Pest descendant and fellow physician, Gabor Mate'. I am so very disappointed with 12-step programs that eschew trauma informed "therapy" in our meetings. I was brutally attacked just a few days ago for daring to mention the extensive childhood abuse that drove my need to self-medicate to dull the lifelong anxiety from what I now know as CPTSD. There are any number of rageaholic bullies in 12-step meetings, who take over these meetings, as they are peer led and mostly attended by early recovering vulnerable dear souls "working the steps", and passive as a result, unlike the bullies who take advantage of the situation only to re-enact their abusive experiences. Gabor's work is genius and an overdue breakthrough for our understanding of addiction and the "toxic" nature of our entire culture. God bless one and all. NAMASTE'
Never having enough love or know what it feels like to embody it, sic; you become president that insatiable appetite the insatiable appetite for power.....
Thank you for speaking truth about being lovingly kind to ourselves even about our egos's. And also talking about childhood trauma and its deep impact in life
Another great interview with Gabor Maté! His wisdom has helped me change my life. Once I stopped seeking anything, and learned to reclaim and sit with my feelings and buried emotions, I finally was able to come home to my real self! Thanks, Dr Maté! 😀
Hungry ghosts is a realm in Buddhist philosophy that sentient beings can be reborn into as a result of the consistent habitual behaviour of greed in past lives.

I have experienced this.
I enjoyed this so much and intend to listen to it again. Thank you! Dr. Maté is helping to reshape the future of humanity, in my opinion ❤
Showing us how to see ourselves in others
If he wouldn't spread so much misinformation about ADHD I might could take him seriously.

We can be addicted to lives we dont like but feel stuck. Even discipline can be an addiction
A great interview. Thank you.
