- In this podcast, Mike Spivey speaks with Dr. Gabor Maté, one of the world’s leading experts on physical and mental health and author of four best-selling books including "In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts" and "When the Body Says No." Dr. Maté shares his thoughts and advice on self-doubt, stress, anxiety, and addiction, and offers the following insight for prospective law students (among others):
"You're going to look at all your confident classmates, and you're going to go in there with all manner of self-doubt. You're making the big mistake of comparing their outside with your inside. You have no idea what their inside is like. And believe me, you're not the only one."

Great interview, he makes so much sense to me, I wished this to be promoted to parents and humans in general, something is broken and few people get this, I’m on my journey to heal through his wisdom
I just love hearing Dr.Gabor Mate. Would love to meet him and attend his workshops someday.The world needs to hear his wisdom
Dr.Gabor mate You are really i mean really Savior You are One kind Soul Am Really Blessed thank you Love You thank You
Wow, this episode was incredible. I’m moved by this conversation with Dr. Gabor.
I have heard most, if not all his talks and he has made it so simple to understand what I always knew was true in my gut. Thank you for your knowledge and wisdom. It has made a great deal of difference in my life.
I would love to hear Gabor talk more about his time at medical school and how he dealt with the stressors especially considering he did not initially start at med school but as a english school teacher.I wonder how he went from this to med school and whether he had to do all the sciences in order to get in.Med school training as he says is a tough training and often the entrants already have studied sciences and got top grades for entry,I would love to know who he did this as it is quite a switch especially as he was so fear driven,I know people who have switched to medicine say from computer programming and already are quite scientifically minded and also are not as driven by fear but more the real desire to be a doctor and have a true vocation for them.I would like him to talk more about this as it sounds like it must have been a very traumatic time for him.
I think he gave great advice about the whys and wherefores we choose certain training or vocations or jobs,too often it is for the wrong reasons and it will never make us happy,sucide rates amongst doctors is really high..I'm sure alot of that is due to overwork and a stressful job with long hours and little support but maybe its also because so many people go into the profession due to outside pressure and think they will be excluded or rejected if they cannot cope or that their whole identity is based on being a doctor.Its such a sad thing and something which does not get talked about enough,doctors are way overworked and I don't think its right to have overworked tired doctors having to make life and death decisions.
...also we all know which well known Canadian psychologist he is talking about don't we !!! :) and I agree with him,I would hesitate to call him a psychologist too,I would never go to him for therapy or any kind of life advice personally
Wow , profound name.
What is his new book that he is working on?
He talks about it at the 12:45 minute mark, basically how what society has become creates an environment of many mental health challenges.
The Myth of Normal
I enjoy listening o Gabor however do not agree that one needs be fearful of catching C-19. One needs to be fearful of the response to it and those who are making the decisions.
As the overanxious responses are real triggering present (and long lasting) effects while an infection with any disease is only a possible risk, no certainty.
Certaintly, life is uncertain and we should mentally emotionally mature to deal with it.
Own individual and collective traumatisation pose an obstacle to that development with their constant reenactment and enhancement on a daily basis. The multitude of 'reports on risks = news" stresses the mind and our work life resembles an impala being chased by a lion for 8-10 hours at a time.
He was saying that as an example of a "normal" or understandable to an outside threat such as a virus like covid and catching something which people do die of afterall.Weighing up and assessing those risks and deciding what the risk really is another thing altogether.If you think the fear outweighs the risk or that responses are insufficient or badly managed thats another thing altogether.He was trying to differentiate "reasonable,rational fears " from outside stimuli against like an infectious virus with an underlying ongoing anxiety which seems to have no obvious cause or reason and is often rooted in childhood.I do not think it is always that easy to distinguish between the two.We are known to be quite bad at assessing risk generally.
@@upendasana7857 It's not normal to be fearful of any seasonal respiratory virus to the point of being willing to isolate oneself for weeks or months on end. That is irrational. People die everyday for all kinds of reasons yet we don't have daily death totals rammed down out throats in these cases.
