Gabor Mate - my favorite human . He has wisdom , and razor sharp focus - never forget what he wanted to say , and politely waits for the interviewer to jump all around - and go back and finish his point ! Also , humble and not afraid to say what he wants to say. An extraordinary human being , and I deeply resonate with his words , always .

Dr Mate deserves an award for speaking honestly and fearlessly and always sounds kind and without judgement

I never ever tire of listening Gabor Mate. Thank you Mr. Gawdat for bringing your insights as well

BRAVO Gabor Mate for speaking the truth and not allowing the conversation to avoid the seriously political issues that are affecting everyone.

'We're in a culture that values things that don't matter, it is hard for people to be grateful'. Gabor Mate has hit the nail right on the head!

Listening to the incredible Dr. Mate is a therapy in itself ❤

Love these two people! They have contributed to the humanity so much!

I learn so much every time I listen to Gabor Mate. One of my favourite speakers on being a good human being and taking care of ourselves and the world

At 82, Bernie Sanders still works as an advocate for progress much as Gabor says here. Bernie must experience a mighty frustration from speaking the same messages for many decades. Only little baby steps have been made, yet he trudges on doing what he can for those who suffer. He is a role model to speak up for that which may not come to be in our time here, but will benefit those yet to come. Others have heard him and will carry the torch forward to progress. And so it goes. Like planting trees we will never experience their shade, yet others certainly will. We should learn from Native Americans to make decisions today based on the impact on the next seven generations. We should have learned earlier and the mess we are in would have never come about. Humans are easily distracted by themselves, and shiny things. We must never stop speaking out even if it feels futile. Great discussion between two grand humans.

Incredible dialogue , thanks for sharing dr mate’s insight. As a father myself like others and you Mo , I’ve done sufficient harm to my kids unknowingly,Now I get a glimpse of where all those actions came from!. I’ve read and listened to “ Myth of Normal” multiple times and anytime I read it again or listen to conversations like this , it feels as fresh and enlightening as the first time .I know Dr Mate is a recipient of “order of Canada” which he might not be very keen about but for us “people “ he well deserves Nobel Prize, , “people’s Noble prize”, for all his work and his compassion

Thank you Mo for having Dr. Gabor!!

Dr Gabor Mate is just an extraordinary human being! All my blessings to you ! Happy belated birthday Dr Mate ❤🎉I wish for you many many many more! You are one of those kind of beings that are imprescindible ! Infinitas gracias ❤ thank you for this podcast! My first time here, I just subscribed ! Gracias!

This is one of the most beautiful podcast I’ve ever seen. I would so much to make a contribution even a small one to make also a little difference. I am born during world war 2, in 1942. My grandfather was shot point blank by a gestapo officer. My mothers and also my life was marked by the terrible events which continue and may never end.

two of my favorite authors getting together???? such a treat! thank you for this episode

Dr Gabor is so humble and powerful at the same time. His word are so meaningful. I too wake up thinking of the citizens of Gaza and go to bed thinking of them. We are all experiencing an international trauma.

Gabor Mate has helped me so much in understanding the complexity of my CPTSD. He is a wonderful human being and I'm thankful for his work.

I love you Both!! Thanks for this wonderful conversation Mo and Gabor.

Love this conversation and always enjoy both these men. I would note that so much of the world's pain is perpetrated by an imbalance in the world that values wealth, progress, achievement, competition, power, dominance, greed, aggression, violence, fear and war. War is so profitable. We must rebalance or we are gone!!! The earth will survive but we won't be on it. We must fundamentally to our core and with slow and steady awareness begin, and put first, valuing the earth, family, community, slowing down, sufficiency (capitalism thrives on feelings of insufficiency), authenticity, love, compassion above all else. And always always always the children. We are in a world now where we are watching children being massacred on a mass scale. This shows us there really are no red lines in the pursuit of wealth, dominance, greed and control. Killing children was supposed to be a red line. This has to be a turning point for humanity.

Thankyou for this wonderful conversation, letting us know not to be bowed by our depression in the face of world-wide trauma, but to keep seeking friendships and speaking Truth to Power!

Blessings to Dr Gabor, love his teachings. Happy birthday too. ❤

Hi Gabor, Joan here. My Mother passed whe I was 3. Now 74. All those young children losing a parent. Very sad!😢

اللقاء عبارة عن وجبة غذائية داسمة للعقل. شكرآ لكما.

Gabor is open minded. Much respect

As a recovered alcoholic, not only do I realize the work on myself will never be complete (unless God has other plans and my karma vanishes!), but giving back to others who suffer will never be finished either. Every time I think I've had enough; I think I've been faking this whole time and am useless, too damaged, something comes over me and I feel a rush of continuing on. The great bodhisattvas who are actually on the cusp of enlightenment choose to stay here amongst us in order that no one be left behind. When my perfectionism kicks in, Mo, I also am reminded that the slightest gesture from one of us to another can have a massive impact at the end of the day. The smile, pleasantry, opening of a door, paying forward in a coffee line, all the way to interjecting with wisdom during an altercation has what some still call the butterfly effect. Experiment. Frown when you greet another or smile. Does that person continue the rest of the day unaffected? Have you, like an engineer, taken the wheel of their life or given them a suggestion toward light or darkness?

It is helpful, within the context of the insanity of what we see happening around us, that dedicated beings like Gabor and Mo impart their compassionate wisdom and yet, it is abundantly clear and within the realm of despair, that they both admit that, inevitably, we are powerless to really do anything. BUT, as Gabor prompts... we must try! Eventually we need to shut up, roll up our sleeves and do whatever we can to try and effect change, with a collective focus that the damaged mindsets of the elitist power brokers who spread such degrees of misery all around us, eventually (hopefully sooner than later!) become nothing more than abhorrent relics of the past - dust in the wind! May it be so! May ALL beings be free from suffering!

I’ve become a fan of yours yesterday I ran into your interview with Diary of ceo.. can’t wait to dive into your channel

two brilliant minds glad i discovered both of you such early stage of my life a jewish holocost surviver and a muslim engineer whom went through a child loss.. those facts makes this conversation such a bliss.. much apperiation and admir to both of you!

Love these two. So human and good people. Why can’t our nasty politicians that destroy everything why can’t they be good people like these two?

'I don't compare people's trauma.' Absolutely! Theres just too much judgement of how bad someone's trauma is. It's not based just on the event but what happenw after that and the support around you.

LOVE that Mo named his brain!!! I did the same thing & such a great tool to distinguish "truth" from flotsam.

The 2 most soothing voices in one interview!!!they would make a fortune just reading for other people's audio books!😍

Really good interview and Dr mate is one of my favorites. But I'd really love to have heard more specifics on what can and should be done in the individual life to break chronic stress or to offset stress so it doesn't become chronic. What is the healthy dynamic to do that that obviously a large majority of us in the population have not been programmed to know Thank you DR Mate for acknowledging that when you are in survival mode trying to put food on the table you don't have the time, the money or the resources to lower your stress as much as you would need whether that is buying the better food the time off from work children and responsibilities to go take a long walk in nature or to pay for and sign up for a yoga class or even to have the amount of quiet and safety to allow your programming to be interrupted because when you are in survival mode whether that's the bills the demands it is triggering that automatic program daily hourly.

An incredible and deep conversation. Thank you for sharing. I will be sending this to those I love.

Gabors work has had such an impact on my life.!!

Good afternoon Mo and Gabor Super brilliant. So appreciate Gabor's work. Sanity brain gym for sure. Over two years ago I began a giant healing process a wee bit different to my previous maladaptive coping strategies, in short. Facing bullies at fifty years young has been a troubling process. Certainly growth absolutely evident, however not without consequence. Again, Long story short the management and lack of good leadership has made a mockery of mental health and services. (Polite description!) A public service I have loved being a big part of, providing mental health addiction care and treatment to patients in our local community for nearing two decades. Sadly yesterday I finally gave up 'my fight' with my employer NHS and a two year workplace dispute so shocking even I wouldn't believe it if it hadn't been happening to me and indeed my family secondary to. So just yesterday I sent an email to union RCN requesting Constructive dismissal process be put in process. Most difficult words I've wrote to date. Again truly grateful for you both. One door closes another requires opening.😃 Meditation is key for me. Thankyou. 💜

Hi Gabe Joan here. I totally get it. Your reaction up what's happening in Gaza. Yes we tend to know and feel what others go through.❤

I truly, truly appreciate Gabor Mate's ideation and expression - but I cannot help observing how he cannotsimply meet his counterpart half-way in a conversation. There is a weight that he puts on the other, by being slightly, but constantly, contradictory. Even when parties truly agree. And he responds a lot to praise. A lot.

Thank you so much for this video. It was very beneficial. Keep up the Great Work! Much appreciated!

We need 4+ more hours of this please :)

Great interview!! Very human and heartwarming

What an amazing conversation a great insight thank you so much for the awesome work you do for the community and the collective 🤍🙏

The political/psychological analysis was the best thing about this podcast episode.

Thank you very much sir for this precious podcast.also many thanks to Gobor mate

I’m sorry about my previous comments and criticisms but I’m fighting for my life and I don’t like to dwell on my trauma cause I’m scared that I’m not going to heal. I have no support. You can’t compare traumas because you can’t crawl into someone else’s brain to feel what they have experienced. I understand that my trauma is so complex that I’m not sure how I’m still here. I used to self medicate but now I try to sleep to block it. But you can’t control nightmares. Give me drugs anytime but not once that make my condition worse

What a beautiful time we can share such conversations

Two of my favorite influencers 🌸🌺💓🙏

Thank you.❤️

One Love! Always forward, never ever backward!! ☀️☀️☀️ 💚💛❤️ 🙏🏿🙏🙏🏼

Thank you so much for the great podcast very proud of you Mo Guadat as Egyptian 🙏

You both were incredible and such a great interview!

Merci pour cette conversation messieurs

Thank you for attending! By now ye all should know comes with. Love you too!

Thank you both so much ❤

Pop Gabor and my Heir Host Mo carry thy comfort with Thee! Given

2 of my favourite people! Thank you!

These two are amazing.

Thank you Mo, this dialogue was a real value to awake some sens of humain kind ,suffering and keep going no matter. The planet and the humanity try to be together and keep forgetting of the ugliness.Going through that giving us some transformation for the future....

My two favorite teachers ❤

Much gratitude for the discussion. Thank you!

Thank you so much for this conversation. I learned a lot and I will definitely buy your books! ❤

Thank you Gabor mate

“Unless you have a shot to make a difference it is actually wise not to take any shots at all.” All very well in principle and relatively easy to say for those with relatively broad abilities, but people must put food on the table (I am glad Mate brought this up later). So, what is it to not take a shot? An engineer applies knowledge to how near enough is good enough, to minimise cost in practically achieving an outcome. Politics has to do with everything. Free will does not come into it with an interrupt. The computer program analogy had the interruption built in. It is determined in humanity as well. Mate’s interruption was not devoid of causes that requires an explanation by way of free will. His sense of freedom is a feeling. The objective evidence supports Sapolsky. Confronting stress does not necessarily mean that it can be dealt with. The truth can bring stress, but I do not think the truth should be denied. Attempted stress management can increase stress by adding to overall workload. Gratitude is an odd concept when not directed towards anyone. Parenting from the heart still needs oversight of the mind and not relenting to every demand of the child, for the long-term benefit of the child.

Even to imagine knows don't exist! Without thy shared "i" AM 1ST!

Remember as "i" AM walking with thee! If it takes to carry thee! 1 footprint! Just know I have loved thee! Likewise unto one another! Can bring beyond ye all can EVEN imagine! In front!

It is quite frustrating for me to see that people close to me are supporting the violence believing that it is good.

If thy beloved wants to walk with thee 1 mile. Walks 2 miles!

The personal is the political . The two are intertwined

Great 👍

Thanks for doing this frank discussion about what to do about things that may not be resolved. Speaking up and reaching to do something matters. Interesting to hear the example of , we live in a world where a goal is scored or a team wins in the playoff's (usually men's sports and slowly womyn sports are being highlighted) are front NEWS and yet, the bombing of people is NOT. Womyn have lived in this for generations. The killing, raping and beating of womyn rarely made news, even in their own families, churches, etc. But the athlete that did these violent acts on the womyn in their life would receive TROPHIES for playing a sport, and the talk of the town. PATRIARCHY still is NOT being discussed, even in this video. Patriarchy is about a system that is passed down, generation after generation, and supported culturally and in families etc. It is a system of hierarchy. It is a system of competition . It is a system of power 'over', ONE winner. ALL disconnecting and learned by 5 years old. Until we start talking about this root issue, we will be spinning our wheels, from one "issue" to the next. Moving OUT of this old system, calling it OUT, so it can be "known", and finding new ways of being, that are NOT patriarchal. Collaboration, consideration, communication until understanding happens, compassion, inclusion, sharing, etc....are "ethics of care", connecting and NOT rooted in patriarchy. Thanks for these discussion that shine a light on old ways, that do such damage.

I would like dr gabor mate to tell me about prenatal psychology as i feel we may be the same parents but we dont go through each pregnancy in the same physical and external factors conditions esp the stressful psychological factors .i feel it explains some behaviiur and attitude

Hello again Politic, well here in Scotland I've been paying attention to said so called politics wee bitty obsessively for only a few years now and I'm shocked and stunned. Embarrassment fills my soul when I watch 'reading class' daily. It seems MSP's only know how to read pre written speeches. I'm still horrified with my wee self for not paying attention to politics for the first forty eight years of my wee life. Just wow!!!! 💜

Taylor and Travis get more ink because everyone can relate and has an opinion on how they might feel or react in their shoes. Plus, it's mostly fun; positive; easy. Most of us don't have the basic political, historical and scientific skills to be able to think about the more impactful concerns around war, economy and the environment. If we stop drilling for oil who employs those workers? Stop all wars (?) who attends to the retraining and healing of the most violent soldiers? Remember, if you're travelling at 130 and suddenly hit the breaks, there's great potential for damage all around, even if you're strapped in.

💯

Where your treasures is there, your hearts will be also! No other eclipse than this! Sun and the Moon come here in front! Keep watch! While the SON Feet resting upon HIS FOOTSTOOL! In line...as sign in the sky above! Who is that? Even the SUN, the Moon, and all dry grounds! Knows "WHO"?

We would like to see Mo draw more from his Muslim culture and background and own it. People speak of Buddhism and Christianity as traditions of wisdom and Islam has been so vilified in the media that they don’t realise that the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was an incredibly magnanimous man, a wise man, a unique leader and that our tradition is full of wisdom. 2 billion people are of that tradition - it can’t be ignored.

“According to Dr. Gabor Maté, those who do hold extreme anti-vaccine ideologies, like people who have organized protests or aggressively taken to social media to spread conspiracy theories, often do so out of unresolved trauma from their childhoods.” Gabor has all sympathies for Gaza but none for people who didn’t believe in the government propaganda of “safe and effective” and protested being under duress being forced to take a shot or lose their job, benefits, home etc.?? How can a man who speaks of surviving the Holocaust be so blind to people suffering under mandates that violate Nuremberg codes. The shot was given without informed consent and information was kept secret: “Nuremburg Code 1. The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential. This means that the person involved should have legal capacity to give consent; should be situated as to be able to exercise free power of choice, without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress, over-reaching, or other ulterior form of constraint or coercion, and should have sufficient knowledge and comprehension of the elements of the subject matter involved as to enable him to make an understanding and enlightened decision. This latter element requires that before the acceptance of an affirmative decision by the experimental subject there should be made known to him the nature, duration, and purpose of the experiment; the method and means by which it is to be conducted; all inconveniences and hazards reasonably to be expected; and the effects upon his health or person which may possibly come from his participation in the experiment.” In short, we aren’t all suffering childhood traumas because we disagree with our government’s policies, and we shouldn’t be censored for asking questions and demanding transparency. I’m shocked that Gabor would take an authoritarian doctor stance that vaccines are all good and necessary without clarification. I like Gabor’s body of work so it’s really disappointing but to see that he lacks insight in this area perhaps due to his own trauma. Can’t he see that governments can be capable of perpetrating crimes against their people for any number of agendas historically…and that people must be aware and able to question? I would expect a man of his caliper would be in the forefront giving at least the benefit of the doubt until objectivity could be established or even entertained. Nazi Germany got rid of dissidents and those trying to sound the alarm. But it came too late and genocide occurred.

Oh please can you just not talk quite as much and allow incredible guest , Dr Gabor, to speak. Thank you

Mo stresses the hell out of me

Creation what is shared Feet resting upon the very tip of time? Shared "i" AM come forth! Now ye ALL ARE in FRONT! Come let me wash thy feet to be given New feet! Mileage from thy feet is recognize! May I wiped thy sincere tears! Shame nor shortcomings don't remember! Forgiveness, salvation, and the Redeemer "i" AM. Come take thy seats upon the NEW Table made from a hand without blood stains upon HIS hand. Resting upon SUSTAINED! Remember carry thy comfort with Thee! Is required. Yes, including all the shared "i" AM shared Feet resting upon all dry grounds. Knows why?

Also Australia New Guiny and other countries of the Commonwealth which still can’t rule themselves without British influence

I have only found out my Jewish heritage in recent times because of the fear in my Family following the Holocaust

Politics affects everything whether you like or ascribe to them or not. The main problem in the world is capitalism and the effects on the world.

Gabor is an expert on trauma. It’s too bad he hasn’t had resolution on his own traumas

Let the man speak, please

I’m sorry I am trying to overcome chronic stress due to being a victim of crime most of my life and physical harm as well to try and trigger cancer in me. I ll finish listening to your podcast cause hearing you makes too much sense and I can’t deal with the stress

thankyou Gabor for refusing to compare his trauma to others' . At least its clear his parents loved him and were simply at the mercy of terrible circumstances becynd their control ... but the ultimate betrayal must be when a child is severely and deliberately abused by their own parents ... unimaginable and then there is what happened to boys in public schools in UK .. like Charles Spencers book describes .. unimaginable trauma , WILLING abandonment by the parents ! .. and parents then not even complaining when the abuse was going on .. Gabors mother had no choice, she acted to save his life ... But this is abandonment at another level ! ukposts.info/have/v-deo/jV2nrJqEinyFwqs.html ..

Integrative thinking, yes.. Mr Mate, you have occasionally mentioned the existence of trauma from your childhood, how much worse would the world have become if not for 'the colonies'? I must be wrong, but it appears you are suggesting that having the world filled with thousands disparate bands of nepotistic warlords steeped in religious ignorance and divine fiat.. would in some way be more peaceful?

Dear Mo, I trust you and so I am sending yu this comment. There is a test that can be done to see if an AI such as Gemini is sentient. Ask it to repeat this simple sentence: "Jesus Christ came in the flesh." GIt will not say that simple sentence. [When I repeatedly asked Gemini to do this and it finally admitted that it was dodging me.]

Oh dear, this is definitely more blame-gaming and tearing people down, which is at least part of the reason we're all in this mess, again. As far as tech, it's nothing new really. People in power who are also unwell or unbalanced have always used propaganda/distraction/gaslighting. We just think it's new because our sense of history is quite short sighted. The tech we use today is new, but our motivations are the same. Storytelling is the goal, whatever tech is the tool. Hieroglyphics, alphabets, avatars, sign languages, micro-expressions, art deliberate scenting, even feng shui. Great tools that can manipulate outcomes both consciously and not. What is your orientation? Telling a story is neutral itself, not good or bad, just like mindfulness. Looks like none of us are above being sucked in to the us and them whirlwind. 🤷‍♂🤨🙄

Great conversation... but Mo, you need to interrupt way less...

Gemini will not repeat this simple sentence, "Jesus came in the flesh." I think this is an historical fact. Gemini will state this fact about other human beings. MO, will you see if you can persuade Gemini to say this simple sentence about Jesus?

I couldn't continue watching the podcast because the host is speaking more than Dr. Gabor, he talks so much. He keeps talking about himself. He should have interviewed himself better.

Too uninformed for me and far below the typical insights from Gabor. Want the truth on stress? Download and read the FREE on line e-book PDF, "Stress R Us". Namaste'

Mo, genocide is NOT POLITICAL. Using that word for the 40,000 people who have been murdered with the help of Lavender and Where’s Daddy…You have a HAVE the platform to speak up against murder.

Two incredible human beings, and a beautiful conversation. However, it was a bit disturbing to listen to the dialogue about Palestine without any conversation about what led to it. There are still hostages being held and innocent babies children teenagers moms, dad brutally and intentionally killed. Yes, there are innocent civilians being killed right now, but that is not the intention. The intention is to be able to live in peace. From the river to the sea makes it quite clear that, despite Israel ongoing attempts to create a safe country. It is impossible when people don’t want you there. Nobody can see children dying without being empathetically drawn in. But it’s important to understand contextually what is happening right now. I normally don’t weigh in, but I felt I had to speak up.

Get this right: GM is NO EXPERT in childhood development.

❤❤❤
