25:27 I’m left with such an emotional charge after listening to this interview. I’ve been worried and focusing a lot on aging lately. Not about the number of my age, the fact that I haven’t lived fully and presently and done enough and learned enough and loved enough and helped enough. Dr Mate’s humble and experienced words will allow me to experience my true self and be open to see and feel the light life offers us. There’s so much more I want to share how I’m feeling at this present moment however I’ll leave it at this. Grateful I’m on this inner journey and thankful I have a few incredible mentors I follow who share their wisdom and authentic self. 🙏🏻
thank you for watching and thank you for sharing your vulneribilty. I am sorry to hear your worries lately, please take care of youself. I hope peace will be with you and wishing you all the best. Your Inner Child Matters Channel sending so much love to you ❤❤❤❤🙏
"The goal of life is to make your heartbeat match the beat of the Universe, to match your nature with Nature." ~ Joseph Campbell "There is more to a person than meets the eye. We all have the faculty to discern spiritual qualities in the world. We can see honesty; we can see integrity; we can see beauty; we can see love; we can see goodness; we can see joy; we can see peace; we can see harmony; we can see intelligence; and so forth. None of these things has any form; none of these things can be imagined; none of these things is tangible, and yet they can be seen. What is the organ that sees these invisible things? Some people call it the soul, spirit, or consciousness. We are all spiritual beings, endowed with spiritual faculties of perception." ~ Thomas Hora "I carry meaning. I care for family. I care for society. I care for environment, all life. I care for their future. I cannot just live for I. I came to be, because of what came before. And thus, I am now, for what will be -- meaningfully." "Self-care is not selfish. One cannot serve from a broken plate." "What do I need now, is a self-care mantra, that answers your needs." "I have a physical body, a mental body, an emotional body, & an "external" body. Attend to that which needs strengthening. Adding strength to one, adds strength to all." "Our minds, emotions & culture, think we can consume & do anything, anytime... but Mother Nature, & our bodies, say otherwise." "While I can't control everything in life, I can control what I put into my body, and into the body of my life." "Consume with discretion. Create with discretion. Care with discretion. Command & collectedness.. is our Holy Grail." ~ Paul Jung
You mentioned aging, in a few short months I will be 70. The information presented here and other channels and sites let's me know that catching up may not be possible. I have layers of what has been done to me and the many years of what I have done to myself to plow through. The one thing that I understand is that there are no fixes for my maladjusted self. Yes I know it's about the journey but I don't see any solace in this direction without a destination. There is a fix for just about everything on earth except for humans. I find this ironic.
Very powerful. My son's death 5 years ago (he was 33 and hung himself) was in a way a gift. I know many will not understand. But it taught me to live. To love. To overcome many issues and find my inner writer. It taught me not to live from guilt but instead to find my authentic path. And I still talk to my son. He is with me still. Along with my Mom and Dad. My three angels. Guiding me with their loving kindness.
Your meaningful and honest message has definitely touched me. Finding the silver lining in such a painful situation requires immense strength. Your story of making use of your son's memory as inspiration to live genuinely and pursue your writing love is nothing short of remarkable. It symbolizes your strength and the profound love you have for your son and your parents. Your belief in keeping in touch with loved ones after they've died is an impressive testament to the continuous power of love. They are, indeed, your guiding angels, and their presence in your life, even in spirit, is proof of love that transcends time and distance. Thank you for sharing your experience because it reminds us all to treasure the precious moments we have and to find strength and purpose even in the face of unimaginable loss. Your comments are an inspiration, and I believe they will touch many people's hearts. During this path of love and self-discovery, I am sending you all my love and support. 💕🌟
Wow this really speaks to me. I used to have a lot of friends, lots of invites, big social life. But I started to suffer from clinical depression and had a breakdown and slowly lost most of them. They never contacted me to ask how I was. I realised that my breakdown was partly because I'd developed a 'popular persona' to fit in after childhood bullying. But it meant abandoning big parts of myself. Now I've returned to being my authentic self but it seems to make me unpopular. I'm an introvert who loves animals, painting, nature and gardening. I've been called weird a few times and ghosted a lot. I'd love to meet people who accepted me for who I am and vice versa rather than being told I'm 'doing it wrong' like a past friend told me.
I feel the same. Been trapped in a persona for a relationship for more than a decade! Finally free now! I’m getting myself back. Don’t ever lose your true self again! Live a full and complete life!
Your comment resonated with me deeply, and I want you to know that you are not alone in feeling this way. It takes a lot of guts to be your true self, especially after dealing with issues like major depression and bullying. It's truly inspiring that you've pursued your true hobbies and passions, such as animals, painting, nature, and gardening. Remember that "weird" can often be just another term for "unique," and there's a lot of beauty in that. It's upsetting when people don't understand or appreciate your true self, but please know that there are good people out there who will accept you for who you are. I believe you will find the right kind of people who will accept and cherish you. Continue to pursue your passions and stay true to yourself, and you'll naturally attract people who share your values. Your journey for self-discovery is courageous and wonderful, and I wish you all the best on your search for meaningful connections. 💖🌻💕🤗💟
@@yourinnerchildmatters Thank you so much for your reply, it was really kind. I was thinking this week that maybe it's time I embraced my 'weirdness' in full and stopped trying to fit in and please certain types of people. I tried to do that before and it was exhausting. I really do hope I meet some more good like minded people, I'm v isolated at the moment and feel v disliked after being ghosted a lot. I'll keep going. I'm glad to have found your channel, keep up the good work.
@@katec9893Hello there, just passing by to say that amont the people I know and have met, those I had the most respect for were certainly among the socially unfit; Not for the sake of it because unacceptance of weird people is a valid automated behavior to keep fools at bay and I usually go by this credo at first, but among them are people with another existential relation to the real, whom have gone past rubbish concerns and with whom I like to talk, especially on deepers points. So if you're at peace with your weirdness and it doesn't harm people, then my advice would be to go by and not pretending against your aspirations to fit a less deviant path.
You sound like a nice, genuine person now. I'm going through similar, and losing family, what a blow, but I want authenticity more. I tried suicide over anxiety about other people.....no more, I want to meet me. Xx
Sensitive label has become the new cut down, sadly. I’ve been called too sensitive a lot lately because I’m finally calling others out on their behavior. It just seems like the world is getting more hostile and people prefer the fake superficiality over reality. Covid helped me awaken to my potential and I chose a new path more independent entrepreneurship and it really pissed off my sister and my friends it really impacted me and they questioned my credibility and character….it really shocked me, they don’t pay my bills why do they care and I was wildly successful at my own business so they tried to destroy me. I can’t go back to doing work I don’t love I’m having to restart my business because my depression was so painful. I’m grateful for the video it helps validate what is happening and my real friends just want me to be happy.
I'm sorry to hear you've been suffering such difficulties, but it's inspirational to see how strong you've been and how you've made some wonderful adjustments in your life, especially during those difficult moments. Some people may not understand or support what you are doing, but remember that true friends will always be by your side and want to see you happy and successful. It might be difficult to be classified as "sensitive" when you're simply sticking up for what you believe in. However, it is important to remember that your feelings and voice are important. The world might be unbearable at times, but sticking to what you believe in and following the goals you have is something to be proud of. It's also important that you prioritize your mental health first. Restarting your business after being depressed is a brave and admirable step. Your health should always come first, and it's wonderful to hear that you have genuine friends that understand and support you in this. Continue to believe in yourself and your abilities. Your accomplishment shows that you can overcome obstacles and attain your objectives. Your journey serves as an example to others who may be facing similar challenges. Continue to be strong, pursue your dreams, and surround yourself with people who genuinely care about your happiness and well-being.
@@yourinnerchildmattersI don't know where to begin, my husband is Neurodiverse so I will never get the emotional support I need but I can't leave him either 😢
Even people you dont know are rooting for you - and there are many of us out there trying to get back to ourselves! The journey can be longer than you “want” - much upheaval and losing what and who you thought you knew…trust the universe to guide you and look back at what you’ve already done! It’s huge! It’s life! And it’s the only direction to go, towards integrity …
Words of advice: people who envy your successes and tell you that you are too sensitive have narcissistic traits or have developed a narcissist mental disorder. They try to destroy those who they envy because they see them as attacking their inflated self-esteem and fake persona. Their lack of basic warm empathy enables them to be as cruel with their chosen victims as they deem they have to be. Do your best to avoid all contact with those toxic people, or you’ll eventually pay the cost of dealing with them either mentally or physically (health-wise). BTW, congrats for your successes! 🎉 I feel happy for you. I hope someday (sooner rather than later) I’ll be able to follow your footsteps in that sense. 😊
It takes great courage to step in your own vulnerability, look directly at yourself in full honesty and understand your deepest wounds for true reconciliation.
Thank you for sharing this! It’s inspiring to see others recognize the importance of vulnerability and self-reflection. Together, we can encourage each other on this journey!
This young interviewer is really insightful! I've seen Dr. Mate being interviewed by plenty of people, and most of them don't bring as much to the table.
Learning to accept your own sensative nature is very freeing. I have tried to "control" this part of me so much so I would feel so battered after a conversation. Now I can work through the trauma & commit to my authentic self.
Thank you dear for sharing this. Learning to accept our sensitive side really can be so freeing. It’s a journey to let go of trying to control it, but embracing your true self is so powerful. Wishing you strength and peace as you work through it all. bless you
Thank you for sharing your story. It's inspiring to see how you've embraced a new outlook on life after going through such a difficult experience. take care and bless you 💕💖🙏
Im just now learning how to like myself and Love myself. I didn't even like myself for years and never understood why, but I'm learning because of you. I'm so Grateful 🙏 I found you. Thank God I will be able to heal and get a little relief 🙏 😌 ✨ 🙌 ❤❤❤
Your comment makes me happy and grateful. It takes amazing bravery and courage to go on a journey of self-acceptance and self-love, and we're grateful to be a part of it with you. You are not alone in your struggle to appreciate and accept yourself. It's something that many of us face, and it may be an uphill struggle. However, the fact that you are learning and making progress highlights your resilience and determination. It's amazing to see the transformation. Remember that healing is a process, and each step forward represents a success. You are deserving of all the love and compassion you are giving on yourself, and I am so proud of you for taking these efforts toward healing and peace. Please reach out if there is anything specific you'd like to address or if you have any questions along the path. We're all in this together, and your growth and well-being are important. On your journey, I wish you a lot of wonderful energy, healing vibes, and love. 🙏❤️✨.
Wow, the first 3 minutes is so simple and can see that’s what happened a long time ago. I’ve been taking off the mask for several years now, but that was so simple and precisely said. I built masks for myself and everyone around me to do what I thought would make people love me. It doesn’t work.
❤Thank you for sharing this interview. I like how the Dr doesn't answer their questions about themselves but has the interviewers come up with their own answers to their own questions. Brilliant 👍
High sensitivity is a blessing and a curse at the same time, which is why it is important to be aware of both sides, blessings during pain and being grateful during creating and success.
I'm so happy to hear that your recovery journey has brought you so much joy and gratitude. It's a beautiful and encouraging message to embrace your authentic self and celebrate being alive. Continue to spread positive energy and enjoy every moment of your beautiful existence! 🌟🌈💖
I find it so intriguing how Gabor talks slow quiet and almost mumbles. He also Carrie’s his words in an almost monotone singsong way. I believe he does this so that people are attracted to the rhythmic nature and have to listen very closely and carefully to hear his enunciation of words. Brilliant tactic.
I believe it’s more related to his traumatized psyche or due to the type of patients he worked most often with during his career (traumatized hard drug drug-addicts and dying people at the palliative care ward). Just a guess.
I learn to love my self after i read Quran and revert to Islam...you find everything what you need to understand why you are here...and the truth that true pain and suffer you find the truth and your self❤❤
Finding self-love and purpose through the Quran and Islam is a beautiful journey you've taken. It's amazing how religion may bring us to such profound self-discovery. I'm sending you my deepest best wishes as you continue on your journey of self-discovery and inner peace. ❤️🙏
I'm so sorry you're going through this. Family situations like that can be very painful, especially when support is needed most. Remember to take care of yourself and lean on those who truly care about you. Sending strength to you and your mom. ❤
I am greet full for this Chanel really!! I love Dr. Gabor. He helped me a lot. What stands up for me from this interview is the hunger for freedom in me. I believe that, if Mr. Mandela can experience freedom in prison, I sure have access to the freedom. The other point what he said don’t try to be the Masaya and try to save people. I experience that personally, people want to help but I rather people hold space, listen. I have a friend who say I am not expecting you to fix it for me or you have a magic word to say. If you hold space for me that is huge. That is the gift I can do !!! Thank you Dr. Gabor and Inner child matter team!!💕
Thank you for taking the time to share your heartfelt and experiences. It warms my heart to hear that you find value in this channel and that Dr. Gabor's insight has helped you. Dr. Gabor's profound concepts have indeed influenced the lives of countless people. Your comment on freedom, inspired by Nelson Mandela's determination, is extremely inspiring. It's a powerful reminder that, even in difficult situations, we can find our own feeling of freedom and empowerment.Your comment about holding space and listening rather than trying to fix issues for others is very reasonable. Often, simply being present for someone, offering a listening ear, and demonstrating understanding can make all the difference. Your friend's point of view is a lovely example of the gift of presence and empathy. We are delighted to have you as a member of the Inner Child Matter community, and we appreciate your kind comments. Please let us know if there are any topics or discussions you'd want to see in the future. Best wishes and appreciation from Your Inner Child Matters Channel
Shyness and sensitivity is considered a weakness in today’s dog-eat-dog society and I have used additions to ‘opt out’ of relationships where I cannot bear the pressure to conform. Gabor Mate has helped me see that I am okay as I am, even if I’m a disappointment to my family.
It's so important to recognize that sensitivity can be a strength. Dr. Gabor Mate’s insights are truly transformative, and it’s great to hear that you’ve found comfort in them. Remember, being true to yourself is the most powerful thing you can do.
Brilliant. Thank you. I am one of those who wants to save the world. This was not wrong when first dealing with the driving force within and yes, this is an unhealed wound.
Thank you very much for sharing this. It's inspiring to hear about your desire to make a difference in the world. Remember that you are not alone on this path, and discovering and healing your inner wounds is an important first step. Keep going forward, and together we can make a difference. 💪🌍
Thank you so much for your inspiering words and yes ,we are so many and together we can make a change. It is so great to hear when people are willing to heal their wounds because this is the first step. Thank you so much for your work and words. ❤❤❤
Such a great conversatiom 🙏💚 thank you. Deep respect for Dr Mate a human being of immense wisdom. "Growth and Vulnerabilty go together". Great questions asked too thanks.
I had to recognize it was imperative to let go of a long term toxic marriage. I was being held back from my true self in trying to enlighten the pain in the addicted person My inner self was so diminished. I finally felt that in so many ways. A design in our wounding👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 That is absolutely the truth. Yes our nature is s truth in our soul, listening when it screams your name My ex was the catalyst for me to hear our lives together would have taken me down a horrible road. In my heart I gave it my all. My depth of wanting to gain access to an authentic being in me was not in his heart or soul. He is searching in someone else. Our development is very different. My choice to safe myself was the right thing to do
I'm touched by your bravery and self-awareness in understanding the importance of leaving a toxic marriage. Prioritizing your own well-being and growth requires immense courage. Your comments have a powerful impact, and it's clear that you're on a path to recovering your authentic self. Remember that sometimes the most difficult decisions lead us to true happiness and personal fulfilment. I wish you all luck and positivity as you continue on in your life. 🌟💪🏼🌸
What a beautiful and valuable interview. Thank you so much for the views and insights where so much can be learned from. I was very impressed by the interviewer, he really listened and understood, respect 🤗 Could not believe my ears when the age of dr. Gabor was said, 79 no way he looks way to young ☺️ Thank you both 🙏
Thank you very much for your wonderful words! We're happy to hear that you found the interview interesting and that the interviewer's listening abilities impressed you. Dr. Gabor's age is really unbelievable, and we appreciate your compliment! 😊 Thank you for taking the time to watch and support the content we produce.🌟
Your thoughtful comments touch my heart! I'm honored to hear that our content has inspired you to pursue healing and a more peaceful life. Remember, the path to healing and peace is beautiful, and you've taken a brave first step. I want you to know that you are not alone on this journey. There's a whole community here to support you, and I'm one of them. Get in touch with us at any moment if you have any questions or need someone to talk to.May your journey be blessed with love, light, and all the healing you deserve. 🌟❤️🌼 God bless you as well, and thank you for your nice thoughts.🙏
What I'm getting from these videos is that I need to allow myself to be emotional, this is something I really don't want to do at almost 70. I can't see that pursuing this path of discovery will really be hel0pful. I have many issues, addiction and alcoholism, no drugs, but daily drinking small quantities.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. It takes courage to reflect on personal challenges. Remember, seeking help is a sign of strength. It's important to take care of yourself and your well-being, regardless of age. It's never too late to work on self-improvement and healing.
@@yourinnerchildmatters I have to stay away from this "why bother" attitude. I could have used this information 50 plus years ago. I'm just having a hard time seeing the usefulness at this stage of life. There is not much left for me to do. I don't really have to deal with anger, depression or sadness, I don't see joy as a big deal. Yes I have regrets but I can for the most get past them. I've been told that I'm an emotional stuffer, this I'm so used to it's automatic. So many layers of crap.
You Sir have so many helpful videos that provokes many deep thoughts. Some amazing thoughts yet some I'd swear that no one on earth would ever think of.such things ever but they all just remain suppressed hadi.not listen to ur videos. So thanks for all the time work efforts and MOST IMPORTANTLY You Integrity and the depth of the genuine fucks given for all not just those u loved but ALL kinds. Hope that you know your highly valuable in the world today rather or not it's known unknowns or cared much about you are.much love and appreciated.
Do you believe that some of the human issues are manifested within self? What's not fair is that a person may not know anything but and it's not easy and can't be done overnight for change. What do you suggest? Much appreciated, Ty
Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment. I completely agree that many of our struggles are deeply connected to our inner selves, and it can be hard to recognize and change them, especially when we don’t have the knowledge or tools. Change takes time and patience, so be kind to yourself during the process. My suggestion is to start small, with self-awareness and self-compassion, and seek support when needed. It’s a journey, and you’re not alone. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts, I truly appreciate it!
What do you do when this is your own adult children?? I've been going through estrangement from my adult son, and some other people. Easier to let go of some people not so easy with my sons. 😪
I'm so sorry you're going through this. It must be really painful to feel this distance from your son. Please know you're not alone-many parents face similar struggles, and it’s okay to feel heartbroken. Sometimes, giving space and continuing to show love in small ways, like sending a kind message or remembering special occasions, can help. It might also be helpful to talk with someone who understands, like a counselor or a support group, to help you process these feelings. Be gentle with yourself-you’re doing the best you can.
Great Interview. But why do you insert those videos of random people from the Internet? It would be much better to keep the scene in the room with the interviewee.
These are important ideas! Would you please please consider not adding music? I want to listen and hear wholeheartedly but cannot, sorry to say. People can add their own music if they want to - thanks
begin to say NO...... risk losing the attachment/s ..... (children cannot afford to lose the attachment)..... the PAIN - either the pain of self-supression (including psychosomatic pain) or the pain of loss of certain attachments.... forge new attachments..... ;; SENSITIVITY tied to creativity.... also more sensitive to pain (+ more succeptible to pain and trauma)...
I don't think u can recover in this world, it's been hostile & for a while, it adds to you to stay in stress , it stirs up memories from troubled past & emence emotional beat downs , how u recover & how u get problems, maybe that's how we got homeless people's, home was never safe , outside is more roomy & u csn hide ! y u deeply love your people's because their fair game to the thugs of this world & woah ! Y u let them stay at home but in loving kindness & not emotional war games ! ok people's, 💝
T the very same thing that my Buddhist teachers have told me what kind of pain do you wanna be in? A lot of times in our culture meditation is presented as the way to bliss out and of course that's all good when you get a taste of it but a lot of meditation is just sitting with stuff like this finding a way 2 have the emotions being not so raw. A lot of meditation is you just gotta sit down and face stuff and work through some stuff. I think many people would be better off western culture would teach meditation process a bit more accurately
Your understanding really resonates with the essence of meditation. It is not only about pursuing happiness, but also about embracing every aspect of human experience. Meditation can help you manage life's ups and downs through improved resilience and self-awareness. It's a path in which we learn how to deal with our feelings, even when they're harsh and unpleasant, and eventually transform them. Your comment regarding the need for a more honest portrayal of meditation in Western culture is true. While the idea of instant happiness is appealing, the real value of meditation is found in the gradual process of self-discovery and healing that it can create. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, and may your meditation practice continue to lead you path of self-compassion and understanding💫💕🙏
Such A beautiful episode i really like it, but i want Ask you this How can you think that this intelligence can be done by nature it self , no it can never be done by nature ,,truely there is the master, the all knowing , the one governing the universe and the nature ,ALLAH (God) he is the one behind this intelligence
Thank you so much for your nice remarks and for taking the time to share your thoughts. I truly respect your your engagement with the content. I absolutely respect your faith in the divine and your view that intelligence is the fruit of a higher power, in this case, Allah (God). It is important to acknowledge that intelligence is a complicated and broad topic that can be studied through scientific and spiritual lenses. While certain people attribute nature's complexities and intellect to a higher being, others explore same phenomena through the lenses of evolution and science. Finally, these are deeply personal beliefs, and I encourage open and respectful discussions that allow us to consider different points of view. Such discussions allow us to broaden our awareness and appreciation of the world around us. Thank you for watching and expressing your thoughts once again. I hope you continue to appreciate the content, and I welcome further discussion on this or any other issue🌟 💫💕
Understood the concepts, understood most of it, but how to apply it and truly know is impossible because you have to continue to grow so it seems like a paradox here. How can I truly be me and suffer no more? Seems we are only meant to suffer if I’m hearing this correctly so then the question would be asked again, what’s the point? Just to suffer? Seems awfully meaningless and more depressing than I previously was before listening to this
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and concerns. It's not an easy topic, and I appreciate your honesty. Remember, the purpose of self-discovery is to find your own happiness and meaning in life. It's a challenging process, but I believe in you!
@@yourinnerchildmatters so you're saying that criminal behavior is an adaptation and not at the core of the person? What about alcoholism and addiction? There is usually criminal and or at least unsocial behavior in the addict and alcoholic.
“Criminal” or “anti-social” behavior stems from internal wounds. Proactively or reactively protecting their ego/safety/needs/etc. To be fair, it’s only labeled criminal behavior because we as a society recognize how destructive the behavior is, not because the person is a criminal. Instead, individuals that exhibit these behaviors can be viewed as maladapted and in need of the most love and healing. I say this not in naive altruism but as a person who has worked in the field of criminal justice very closely with those labeled as criminals for nearly a decade. The best ideology I’ve found is to couple the fact above with the concept that “Compassion without limits is enabling.” Because there are those who just simply aren’t ready to heal or are not aware enough to understand the need to…not even for themselves, let alone for a society of which they do not identify with enough to blindly or consciously follow it’s social order.
@@allikariel I can see healing internal wounds if you can get them early enough, to me it seems like over time the thinking that is created from the initial wound causes more wounds. As we get older, how do we come to the realization that we can be healed? Is it possible?
@@CharlieBass5 If you’re asking for yourself, then you already know you can because you’re here. If you’re asking in general terms as a human condition, I think that’s part of the beauty of being a human. A wounded inner child always acts out, so typically we are made aware that healing needs to happen through pain or discomfort. And depending on how stubborn we are, determines whether or not we listen and seek answers to realize we can heal. As far as my understanding goes.

I’m left with such an emotional charge after listening to this interview. I’ve been worried and focusing a lot on aging lately. Not about the number of my age, the fact that I haven’t lived fully and presently and done enough and learned enough and loved enough and helped enough. Dr Mate’s humble and experienced words will allow me to experience my true self and be open to see and feel the light life offers us. There’s so much more I want to share how I’m feeling at this present moment however I’ll leave it at this. Grateful I’m on this inner journey and thankful I have a few incredible mentors I follow who share their wisdom and authentic self.
🙏🏻
thank you for watching and thank you for sharing your vulneribilty. I am sorry to hear your worries lately, please take care of youself. I hope peace will be with you and wishing you all the best. Your Inner Child Matters Channel sending so much love to you ❤❤❤❤🙏
Your not alone. Many are feeling the same.

Fantastic video. Thanks for sharing.
You mentioned aging, in a few short months I will be 70. The information presented here and other channels and sites let's me know that catching up may not be possible. I have layers of what has been done to me and the many years of what I have done to myself to plow through. The one thing that I understand is that there are no fixes for my maladjusted self. Yes I know it's about the journey but I don't see any solace in this direction without a destination. There is a fix for just about everything on earth except for humans. I find this ironic.
Very powerful. My son's death 5 years ago (he was 33 and hung himself) was in a way a gift. I know many will not understand. But it taught me to live. To love. To overcome many issues and find my inner writer. It taught me not to live from guilt but instead to find my authentic path. And I still talk to my son. He is with me still. Along with my Mom and Dad. My three angels. Guiding me with their loving kindness.
Your meaningful and honest message has definitely touched me. Finding the silver lining in such a painful situation requires immense strength. Your story of making use of your son's memory as inspiration to live genuinely and pursue your writing love is nothing short of remarkable. It symbolizes your strength and the profound love you have for your son and your parents. Your belief in keeping in touch with loved ones after they've died is an impressive testament to the continuous power of love. They are, indeed, your guiding angels, and their presence in your life, even in spirit, is proof of love that transcends time and distance. Thank you for sharing your experience because it reminds us all to treasure the precious moments we have and to find strength and purpose even in the face of unimaginable loss. Your comments are an inspiration, and I believe they will touch many people's hearts. During this path of love and self-discovery, I am sending you all my love and support. 💕🌟
Be at peace my friend. I feel you, and I see you. Let my love get to you and make you feel embraced.
Beautifully said. @@yourinnerchildmatters
I admire your strength and courage to embrace healing and wisdom in love and loss. You are an inspiration.

Wow this really speaks to me. I used to have a lot of friends, lots of invites, big social life. But I started to suffer from clinical depression and had a breakdown and slowly lost most of them. They never contacted me to ask how I was. I realised that my breakdown was partly because I'd developed a 'popular persona' to fit in after childhood bullying. But it meant abandoning big parts of myself. Now I've returned to being my authentic self but it seems to make me unpopular. I'm an introvert who loves animals, painting, nature and gardening. I've been called weird a few times and ghosted a lot. I'd love to meet people who accepted me for who I am and vice versa rather than being told I'm 'doing it wrong' like a past friend told me.
I feel the same. Been trapped in a persona for a relationship for more than a decade! Finally free now! I’m getting myself back. Don’t ever lose your true self again! Live a full and complete life!
Your comment resonated with me deeply, and I want you to know that you are not alone in feeling this way. It takes a lot of guts to be your true self, especially after dealing with issues like major depression and bullying. It's truly inspiring that you've pursued your true hobbies and passions, such as animals, painting, nature, and gardening. Remember that "weird" can often be just another term for "unique," and there's a lot of beauty in that. It's upsetting when people don't understand or appreciate your true self, but please know that there are good people out there who will accept you for who you are. I believe you will find the right kind of people who will accept and cherish you. Continue to pursue your passions and stay true to yourself, and you'll naturally attract people who share your values. Your journey for self-discovery is courageous and wonderful, and I wish you all the best on your search for meaningful connections. 💖🌻💕🤗💟
@@yourinnerchildmatters Thank you so much for your reply, it was really kind. I was thinking this week that maybe it's time I embraced my 'weirdness' in full and stopped trying to fit in and please certain types of people. I tried to do that before and it was exhausting. I really do hope I meet some more good like minded people, I'm v isolated at the moment and feel v disliked after being ghosted a lot. I'll keep going. I'm glad to have found your channel, keep up the good work.
@@katec9893Hello there, just passing by to say that amont the people I know and have met, those I had the most respect for were certainly among the socially unfit; Not for the sake of it because unacceptance of weird people is a valid automated behavior to keep fools at bay and I usually go by this credo at first, but among them are people with another existential relation to the real, whom have gone past rubbish concerns and with whom I like to talk, especially on deepers points. So if you're at peace with your weirdness and it doesn't harm people, then my advice would be to go by and not pretending against your aspirations to fit a less deviant path.
You sound like a nice, genuine person now. I'm going through similar, and losing family, what a blow, but I want authenticity more. I tried suicide over anxiety about other people.....no more, I want to meet me. Xx
The interviewer spoke and asked great questions. 👍
Thank you for your time watchig!!
Sensitive label has become the new cut down, sadly. I’ve been called too sensitive a lot lately because I’m finally calling others out on their behavior. It just seems like the world is getting more hostile and people prefer the fake superficiality over reality. Covid helped me awaken to my potential and I chose a new path more independent entrepreneurship and it really pissed off my sister and my friends it really impacted me and they questioned my credibility and character….it really shocked me, they don’t pay my bills why do they care and I was wildly successful at my own business so they tried to destroy me. I can’t go back to doing work I don’t love I’m having to restart my business because my depression was so painful. I’m grateful for the video it helps validate what is happening and my real friends just want me to be happy.
I'm sorry to hear you've been suffering such difficulties, but it's inspirational to see how strong you've been and how you've made some wonderful adjustments in your life, especially during those difficult moments. Some people may not understand or support what you are doing, but remember that true friends will always be by your side and want to see you happy and successful.
It might be difficult to be classified as "sensitive" when you're simply sticking up for what you believe in. However, it is important to remember that your feelings and voice are important. The world might be unbearable at times, but sticking to what you believe in and following the goals you have is something to be proud of. It's also important that you prioritize your mental health first. Restarting your business after being depressed is a brave and admirable step. Your health should always come first, and it's wonderful to hear that you have genuine friends that understand and support you in this.
Continue to believe in yourself and your abilities. Your accomplishment shows that you can overcome obstacles and attain your objectives. Your journey serves as an example to others who may be facing similar challenges. Continue to be strong, pursue your dreams, and surround yourself with people who genuinely care about your happiness and well-being.
@@yourinnerchildmattersI don't know where to begin, my husband is Neurodiverse so I will never get the emotional support I need but I can't leave him either 😢
Even people you dont know are rooting for you - and there are many of us out there trying to get back to ourselves! The journey can be longer than you “want” - much upheaval and losing what and who you thought you knew…trust the universe to guide you and look back at what you’ve already done! It’s huge! It’s life! And it’s the only direction to go, towards integrity …
@@rosheensouthcombe3583that's not true. It's concerning you think that way.
Words of advice: people who envy your successes and tell you that you are too sensitive have narcissistic traits or have developed a narcissist mental disorder. They try to destroy those who they envy because they see them as attacking their inflated self-esteem and fake persona. Their lack of basic warm empathy enables them to be as cruel with their chosen victims as they deem they have to be. Do your best to avoid all contact with those toxic people, or you’ll eventually pay the cost of dealing with them either mentally or physically (health-wise). BTW, congrats for your successes! 🎉 I feel happy for you. I hope someday (sooner rather than later) I’ll be able to follow your footsteps in that sense. 😊
True! I’d rather be myself because someday i’ll attract people who will love me for who I am.
Thank you for sharing your perspective! It's so important to embrace our true selves and find people who appreciate us for who we are.
I'm 79 toooooo.
Oh my god it's progress not perfection I love your work doc
Thank you so much! It's great to hear from someone who can relate. Keep embracing progress and never stop enjoying the journey!
It takes great courage to step in your own vulnerability, look directly at yourself in full honesty and understand your deepest wounds for true reconciliation.
Thank you for sharing this! It’s inspiring to see others recognize the importance of vulnerability and self-reflection. Together, we can encourage each other on this journey!
This young interviewer is really insightful! I've seen Dr. Mate being interviewed by plenty of people, and most of them don't bring as much to the table.
thank you
@@abacus813hi, can you post the link for the full interview please?
Yes totally agree
I believe he is Andre Duqum as mentioned in the description. He is intuitive, sensitive, mature and emotionally intelligent.
I find Dr. Mate to be highly conscious. Really enjoying discovering him recently.
Your inner child deserves love and compassion ❤🥰❤
you are right💖
@@yourinnerchildmatters 😍🥰
Learning to accept your own sensative nature is very freeing. I have tried to "control" this part of me so much so I would feel so battered after a conversation. Now I can work through the trauma & commit to my authentic self.
Thank you dear for sharing this. Learning to accept our sensitive side really can be so freeing. It’s a journey to let go of trying to control it, but embracing your true self is so powerful. Wishing you strength and peace as you work through it all. bless you
This is a really amazing channel. I find myself constantly learning new insights and distinctions. Pure pearls of wisdom! Blessings
Wow, thank you!
I'm 59, I had a stroke at 42. It wholly changed my thought process on living.
Thank you for sharing your story. It's inspiring to see how you've embraced a new outlook on life after going through such a difficult experience. take care and bless you 💕💖🙏
Im just now learning how to like myself and Love myself. I didn't even like myself for years and never understood why, but I'm learning because of you. I'm so Grateful 🙏 I found you. Thank God I will be able to heal and get a little relief 🙏 😌 ✨ 🙌 ❤❤❤
Your comment makes me happy and grateful. It takes amazing bravery and courage to go on a journey of self-acceptance and self-love, and we're grateful to be a part of it with you.
You are not alone in your struggle to appreciate and accept yourself. It's something that many of us face, and it may be an uphill struggle. However, the fact that you are learning and making progress highlights your resilience and determination. It's amazing to see the transformation. Remember that healing is a process, and each step forward represents a success. You are deserving of all the love and compassion you are giving on yourself, and I am so proud of you for taking these efforts toward healing and peace.
Please reach out if there is anything specific you'd like to address or if you have any questions along the path. We're all in this together, and your growth and well-being are important. On your journey, I wish you a lot of wonderful energy, healing vibes, and love. 🙏❤️✨.
@@yourinnerchildmatters Thank you very much, I pray you 🙏 have a Blessed evening 🙏 😊 ☺
@@kellyhiggins1691 and you too beautiful soul 💕🙏✨💖
Wow, the first 3 minutes is so simple and can see that’s what happened a long time ago. I’ve been taking off the mask for several years now, but that was so simple and precisely said. I built masks for myself and everyone around me to do what I thought would make people love me. It doesn’t work.
❤Thank you for sharing this interview. I like how the Dr doesn't answer their questions about themselves but has the interviewers come up with their own answers to their own questions. Brilliant 👍
Thank you so much for your kind words! Glad you enjoyed it! 👍, bless you
High sensitivity is a blessing and a curse at the same time, which is why it is important to be aware of both sides, blessings during pain and being grateful during creating and success.
Thank you for sharing your insight! It’s so true that recognizing the blessings in our struggles can help us grow and thrive creatively.
“It was a lot more work than I anticipated.” Loved it! 😂🙏
Glad you enjoyed it!, thanks for watching 💕🙏
Piles of smiles, thank you, both of you! My healing has been my wake up call and a blessing. I’m so darn happy to be me an Alive.
I'm so happy to hear that your recovery journey has brought you so much joy and gratitude. It's a beautiful and encouraging message to embrace your authentic self and celebrate being alive. Continue to spread positive energy and enjoy every moment of your beautiful existence! 🌟🌈💖
I find it so intriguing how Gabor talks slow quiet and almost mumbles. He also Carrie’s his words in an almost monotone singsong way. I believe he does this so that people are attracted to the rhythmic nature and have to listen very closely and carefully to hear his enunciation of words. Brilliant tactic.
I believe it’s more related to his traumatized psyche or due to the type of patients he worked most often with during his career (traumatized hard drug drug-addicts and dying people at the palliative care ward). Just a guess.
Thank you 🙏🏽
You're very welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Freedom 🙏 Dr. Gabor Mate and all that interview him and gets this message out to us ❤❤ You are a gift
Thank you so much for your time watching and for sharing your kind words, bless you 🌻💕🤗
I learn to love my self after i read Quran and revert to Islam...you find everything what you need to understand why you are here...and the truth that true pain and suffer you find the truth and your self❤❤
Finding self-love and purpose through the Quran and Islam is a beautiful journey you've taken. It's amazing how religion may bring us to such profound self-discovery. I'm sending you my deepest best wishes as you continue on your journey of self-discovery and inner peace. ❤️🙏
Assalaam alaykom warahmatulahi wa baraketu
Very interesting video. Thanks ❤❤❤
I'm so sorry you're going through this. Family situations like that can be very painful, especially when support is needed most. Remember to take care of yourself and lean on those who truly care about you. Sending strength to you and your mom. ❤

🙏✨💖
I am incredibly grateful that I have found this channel it has helped me a lot.
Happy to hear that!, I am happy to help, bless you dear!
I am greet full for this Chanel really!! I love Dr. Gabor. He helped me a lot. What stands up for me from this interview is the hunger for freedom in me. I believe that, if Mr. Mandela can experience freedom in prison, I sure have access to the freedom. The other point what he said don’t try to be the Masaya and try to save people. I experience that personally, people want to help but I rather people hold space, listen. I have a friend who say I am not expecting you to fix it for me or you have a magic word to say. If you hold space for me that is huge. That is the gift I can do !!! Thank you Dr. Gabor and Inner child matter team!!💕
Thank you for taking the time to share your heartfelt and experiences. It warms my heart to hear that you find value in this channel and that Dr. Gabor's insight has helped you. Dr. Gabor's profound concepts have indeed influenced the lives of countless people. Your comment on freedom, inspired by Nelson Mandela's determination, is extremely inspiring. It's a powerful reminder that, even in difficult situations, we can find our own feeling of freedom and empowerment.Your comment about holding space and listening rather than trying to fix issues for others is very reasonable. Often, simply being present for someone, offering a listening ear, and demonstrating understanding can make all the difference. Your friend's point of view is a lovely example of the gift of presence and empathy.
We are delighted to have you as a member of the Inner Child Matter community, and we appreciate your kind comments. Please let us know if there are any topics or discussions you'd want to see in the future. Best wishes and appreciation from Your Inner Child Matters Channel

Forgiveness....and setting boundaries.

Shyness and sensitivity is considered a weakness in today’s dog-eat-dog society and I have used additions to ‘opt out’ of relationships where I cannot bear the pressure to conform. Gabor Mate has helped me see that I am okay as I am, even if I’m a disappointment to my family.
It's so important to recognize that sensitivity can be a strength. Dr. Gabor Mate’s insights are truly transformative, and it’s great to hear that you’ve found comfort in them. Remember, being true to yourself is the most powerful thing you can do.
I think that's an amazing and intelligent way to process such a life-changing event ......bless you, and never stop being your authentic self....
Brilliant. Thank you. I am one of those who wants to save the world. This was not wrong when first dealing with the driving force within and yes, this is an unhealed wound.
Thank you very much for sharing this. It's inspiring to hear about your desire to make a difference in the world. Remember that you are not alone on this path, and discovering and healing your inner wounds is an important first step. Keep going forward, and together we can make a difference. 💪🌍
Thank you so much for your inspiering words and yes ,we are so many and together we can make a change. It is so great to hear when people are willing to heal their wounds because this is the first step. Thank you so much for your work and words. ❤❤❤
Such a great conversatiom 🙏💚 thank you. Deep respect for Dr Mate a human being of immense wisdom. "Growth and Vulnerabilty go together".
Great questions asked too thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you so much for taking the time watching the video!
I had to recognize it was imperative to let go of a long term toxic marriage.
I was being held back from my true self in trying to enlighten the pain in the addicted person
My inner self was so diminished. I finally felt that in so many ways.
A design in our wounding👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
That is absolutely the truth.
Yes our nature is s truth in our soul,
listening when it screams your name
My ex was the catalyst for me to hear
our lives together would have taken me down a horrible road.
In my heart I gave it my all.
My depth of wanting to gain access
to an authentic being in me was not in his heart or soul. He is searching in someone else.
Our development is very different.
My choice to safe myself was the right thing to do
I'm touched by your bravery and self-awareness in understanding the importance of leaving a toxic marriage. Prioritizing your own well-being and growth requires immense courage. Your comments have a powerful impact, and it's clear that you're on a path to recovering your authentic self. Remember that sometimes the most difficult decisions lead us to true happiness and personal fulfilment. I wish you all luck and positivity as you continue on in your life. 🌟💪🏼🌸
I’m passing through something similar. I feel you and I hear you. Live your life full filed by your true self. Love.
Well oh oh I Am sharing with many to listen to you Gabor. You sharing Truth has given my life a real chance to Heal myself.🌷

@@yourinnerchildmatters Your very welcome. God Bless you all 🙏 ❤ 🙌
What I'm getting from these videos is that I need to allow myself to be emotional, this is something I really don't want to do at almost 70. I can't see that pursuing this path of discovery will really be hel0pful. I have many issues, addiction and alcoholism, no drugs, but daily drinking small quantities.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. It takes courage to reflect on personal challenges. Remember, seeking help is a sign of strength. It's important to take care of yourself and your well-being, regardless of age. It's never too late to work on self-improvement and healing.
@@yourinnerchildmatters I have to stay away from this "why bother" attitude. I could have used this information 50 plus years ago. I'm just having a hard time seeing the usefulness at this stage of life. There is not much left for me to do. I don't really have to deal with anger, depression or sadness, I don't see joy as a big deal. Yes I have regrets but I can for the most get past them. I've been told that I'm an emotional stuffer, this I'm so used to it's automatic. So many layers of crap.
Wow!! Damn, you are on point and so clear. ❤❤❤
Completely relate.....❤
I appreciate you taking the time to comment
You Sir have so many helpful videos that provokes many deep thoughts. Some amazing thoughts yet some I'd swear that no one on earth would ever think of.such things ever but they all just remain suppressed hadi.not listen to ur videos.

Do you believe that some of the human issues are manifested within self? What's not fair is that a person may not know anything but and it's not easy and can't be done overnight for change. What do you suggest? Much appreciated, Ty
Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment. I completely agree that many of our struggles are deeply connected to our inner selves, and it can be hard to recognize and change them, especially when we don’t have the knowledge or tools. Change takes time and patience, so be kind to yourself during the process. My suggestion is to start small, with self-awareness and self-compassion, and seek support when needed. It’s a journey, and you’re not alone. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts, I truly appreciate it!

Which book is he specifically referring to here? Sorry if I missed it
So we have choice only between different kinds of pain?
Authenticity vs attachment
Be authentic 🎉 then you dont have a distorted value system and your attachment is not based on co dependence. . . .
Gabor mate is my god
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
🙏✨💖
What do you do when this is your own adult children?? I've been going through estrangement from my adult son, and some other people. Easier to let go of some people not so easy with my sons. 😪
I'm so sorry you're going through this. It must be really painful to feel this distance from your son. Please know you're not alone-many parents face similar struggles, and it’s okay to feel heartbroken. Sometimes, giving space and continuing to show love in small ways, like sending a kind message or remembering special occasions, can help. It might also be helpful to talk with someone who understands, like a counselor or a support group, to help you process these feelings. Be gentle with yourself-you’re doing the best you can.
Great Interview. But why do you insert those videos of random people from the Internet? It would be much better to keep the scene in the room with the interviewee.
💕🙏
Because of people short attention span.
These are important ideas! Would you please please consider not adding music? I want to listen and hear wholeheartedly but cannot, sorry to say. People can add their own music if they want to - thanks
❤
❤️💖
The relentless barrage of stock footage took away form a beautifully filmed interview.
❤️
If you are tired of getting dragged, just let go.
begin to say NO...... risk losing the attachment/s ..... (children cannot afford to lose the attachment)..... the PAIN - either the pain of self-supression (including psychosomatic pain) or the pain of loss of certain attachments.... forge new attachments..... ;; SENSITIVITY tied to creativity.... also more sensitive to pain (+ more succeptible to pain and trauma)...
I don't think u can recover in this world, it's been hostile & for a while, it adds to you to stay in stress , it stirs up memories from troubled past & emence emotional beat downs , how u recover & how u get problems, maybe that's how we got homeless people's, home was never safe , outside is more roomy & u csn hide ! y u deeply love your people's because their fair game to the thugs of this world & woah ! Y u let them stay at home but in loving kindness & not emotional war games ! ok people's, 💝
T the very same thing that my Buddhist teachers have told me what kind of pain do you wanna be in? A lot of times in our culture meditation is presented as the way to bliss out and of course that's all good when you get a taste of it but a lot of meditation is just sitting with stuff like this finding a way 2 have the emotions being not so raw. A lot of meditation is you just gotta sit down and face stuff and work through some stuff. I think many people would be better off western culture would teach meditation process a bit more accurately
Your understanding really resonates with the essence of meditation. It is not only about pursuing happiness, but also about embracing every aspect of human experience. Meditation can help you manage life's ups and downs through improved resilience and self-awareness. It's a path in which we learn how to deal with our feelings, even when they're harsh and unpleasant, and eventually transform them.
Your comment regarding the need for a more honest portrayal of meditation in Western culture is true. While the idea of instant happiness is appealing, the real value of meditation is found in the gradual process of self-discovery and healing that it can create. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, and may your meditation practice continue to lead you path of self-compassion and understanding💫💕🙏
I'd like the Doctor email if available, please.

Such A beautiful episode i really like it, but i want Ask you this
How can you think that this intelligence can be done by nature it self , no it can never be done by nature ,,truely there is the master, the all knowing , the one governing the universe and the nature ,ALLAH (God) he is the one behind this intelligence
Thank you so much for your nice remarks and for taking the time to share your thoughts. I truly respect your your engagement with the content. I absolutely respect your faith in the divine and your view that intelligence is the fruit of a higher power, in this case, Allah (God). It is important to acknowledge that intelligence is a complicated and broad topic that can be studied through scientific and spiritual lenses. While certain people attribute nature's complexities and intellect to a higher being, others explore same phenomena through the lenses of evolution and science. Finally, these are deeply personal beliefs, and I encourage open and respectful discussions that allow us to consider different points of view. Such discussions allow us to broaden our awareness and appreciation of the world around us.
Thank you for watching and expressing your thoughts once again. I hope you continue to appreciate the content, and I welcome further discussion on this or any other issue🌟 💫💕
Understood the concepts, understood most of it, but how to apply it and truly know is impossible because you have to continue to grow so it seems like a paradox here. How can I truly be me and suffer no more? Seems we are only meant to suffer if I’m hearing this correctly so then the question would be asked again, what’s the point? Just to suffer? Seems awfully meaningless and more depressing than I previously was before listening to this
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and concerns. It's not an easy topic, and I appreciate your honesty. Remember, the purpose of self-discovery is to find your own happiness and meaning in life. It's a challenging process, but I believe in you!
Why is it that you can wreck you car and get it fixed? If you life becomes a wreck, there is no fix.
Living ones' Authentic Self could mean being a Serial Killer. I guess I really don't get it.
It's definitely a complex concept to grasp, but authenticity is about being true to who you are, not about embracing criminal behavior.
@@yourinnerchildmatters so you're saying that criminal behavior is an adaptation and not at the core of the person? What about alcoholism and addiction? There is usually criminal and or at least unsocial behavior in the addict and alcoholic.
“Criminal” or “anti-social” behavior stems from internal wounds. Proactively or reactively protecting their ego/safety/needs/etc.
To be fair, it’s only labeled criminal behavior because we as a society recognize how destructive the behavior is, not because the person is a criminal. Instead, individuals that exhibit these behaviors can be viewed as maladapted and in need of the most love and healing. I say this not in naive altruism but as a person who has worked in the field of criminal justice very closely with those labeled as criminals for nearly a decade.
The best ideology I’ve found is to couple the fact above with the concept that “Compassion without limits is enabling.” Because there are those who just simply aren’t ready to heal or are not aware enough to understand the need to…not even for themselves, let alone for a society of which they do not identify with enough to blindly or consciously follow it’s social order.
@@allikariel I can see healing internal wounds if you can get them early enough, to me it seems like over time the thinking that is created from the initial wound causes more wounds. As we get older, how do we come to the realization that we can be healed? Is it possible?
@@CharlieBass5 If you’re asking for yourself, then you already know you can because you’re here.
If you’re asking in general terms as a human condition, I think that’s part of the beauty of being a human. A wounded inner child always acts out, so typically we are made aware that healing needs to happen through pain or discomfort. And depending on how stubborn we are, determines whether or not we listen and seek answers to realize we can heal.
As far as my understanding goes.
