I was taught to not speak and keep your eyes down. My mother was Cree, and we were dirt poor. My father was an Irish alcoholic who hated anyone of colour... we were beaten and scorned at school and at home. I had to find forgiveness or my life would have probably ended years ago. At 60 I can honestly say, that self love and understanding you are not your parents trauma nor their parents (as Gabor states) find peace, find balance and don't take any crap from anyone is my motto, especially after menopause! I am here for a very long time to come, I am living proof you can change your life. Think good thoughts, eat whole clean foods, sleep well and exercise, lift heavy weights and walk!!! Thanks, guys! ❤

@nikiichan 6 місяців тому

What does forgiveness look like for you? I grew up in a bad household similar to your description. I eat health, exercise, practice CBT, journaling and give myself the opportunities I wasn't given as a child. My parents seem to think that forgiveness means moving on forgetting the past and acting as though everything is alright, never bringing it up. I do not have that on me. It makes me doubt I have forgiven because I cannot just act like abuse never happened it will always be something that shaped me. I would like to learn from you to improve myself 🙏

@jenniferfulljames1685 6 місяців тому

@@nikiichanI am sorry to hear you are struggling. I think for myself, I was truly Blessed with an amaxing therapist who helped me tremendously. She used EMDR for some of the sessions and that significantly changed things for me. Have you read any of Dr. Gabor's books? I highly recommend "The Myth of Normal" for anyone looking to heal their past. You know my dear, you cannot forgive others until you forgive yourself. I had intense anger which could turn to rage very easily. I needed to understand that anger was my release of the pressure I built up inside ( not dealing with the issues) I spent years care taking others and being unable to say no yet being pissed off at everyone for it. Anger felt good, which is another thing that stunts your growth right? You don't mention whether you have a therapist, I know for myself that it took many years to heal and there are still some things that can have me looking in the rear view mirror but those are now minimal and quick to resolve today. There are no quick fixes, you have to dig deep and with someone who is licensed to provide the proper therapy. I wish you much success at finding your way to healing your past, nothing to lose however everything to gain. Read everything by Gabor and listen to everything on youtube, it is free and very good info. ❤

@jenniferfulljames1685 6 місяців тому

@@nikiichanI forgot to answer your first question "what does forgiveness look like for you" For myself it is FREEDOM, untying those shackles that bound that little girl to an existence that smothered and left so many scars. It helped me see that my abusers were also wounded, they too needed to heal and they did the best they could with what they knew. I forgave however I will never forget, that's a good thing as it reminds me to keep striving to be a better, kinder person. There is far too much going on in the world, we need to do everything in our power to keep our Spirit shining bright. We are all too worthy to dim our light or play small. You were meant for great things, help yourself to heal once and for all. ❤

@hexxan007 6 місяців тому

@@nikiichan You did not ask me and my childhood was not good, but probably not as difficult as yours. But i've been through the process of forgiving my parents. I could forgive them when i was almost 50, it was the first time i could see them as just people. People who had lived through their own struggles and had come out damaged themselves. I am damaged, too. I do my best to do the best i can but i know it is not always "good" or "right" what i do... And then i try to forgive myself, too, and i try to do better the next time. Love to you.

I'm 80 years old and this video above just drastically changed my life!!!!!!!!!!!!! If I could write a thousand thank you's here I would, right now! Only recently by watching youtube videos about adhd, I've learned that I"ve had all the symptoms all my life and have carried tons of guilt because I never could "fit in" with "normal" people even though I tried so hard to. Suddenly you explained that not ever being hugged as a child, and being ignored by my parents as I grew up, and hearing the cruel arguing my parents hurt each other with, caused me to learn how to "zone out" under any stressful circumstances, and so hyperfocusing on favorite subjects also takes me away from facing head on with any perceived difficulties. I won't take time to mention all the other ADHD symptoms. Suddenly, I completely understand why I am the way I am, and that it's NOT MY FAULT! What a shock and at the same time, what a relief! Now at last I can begin healing. Whew!

This session won my subscription. I had a surgery 3 months back. Immediately after my surgery, I read and listened to Gabor Mate's "When the Body Says No". I cried so deeply because his book struck my core. I understood immediately what caused my current state of being. After a time of reflection and a deep desire to heal and recuperate, I made a difficult decision to leave my work and cut down losses in my relationships. It is a deeply scary move but I felt lighter and at peace as a result.

My mother was a very kind woman who lived to a healthy old age. She was also strong and capable of expressing her anger. She was also rational and well educated and used anger to put a stop to stupid, mean or unjust behavior or to get a problem out in the open so it could be resolved. For instance, she once burst into the office of the President of her huge corporation, looked right in the eye, and said, "You cheap bastard." He was startled but had the sense to ask, "What's the matter?" They had a civil rational conversation regarding the policy announced that day that a person's years of part time work would not count towards the company's pension. After their conversation there was an announcement the next day that part time work would count towards the company's pension.

This is so true! A few years ago I went through a very tough year where our family suffered from lots of stressful events and I tried to be kind and calm and keep everyone together with a smile on my face but inside I felt very overwhelmed. I didn't know who to talk to so I kept everything bottled up and then I suddenly got very sick, I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease (psoriatic arthritis) told that it was very aggressive and that the only treatment was to take very harmful drugs to suppress my immune system. I was very ill, I started taking the methotrexate 2 days a week, my fingers were so disfigured and painful that I could barely use them and I'm an artist so that was even more difficult and then I realised that this was all caused by my mind. I started to meditate, I became a vegan, and one evening I was talking to my husband and suddenly found myself crying and told him that I was afraid he would leave me if I was sick (my dad left my mom when she was sick when I was very small). I remember saying "I'm scared you won't want me if I'm not useful" and he laughed and gave me a big hug and said "Who said you've ever been useful? I don't love you because you're useful I love you for you" and then a miracle happened. I never realised that I was trying to be helpful and kind and useful all the time because I was afraid of being left and in that moment it felt like a festering splinter that had been there all my life was finally pulled out and I felt light and free. It's been five years, I am living the most amazing life, I feel free, I am 100% healthy. My husband and I are having an amazing adventure together, this year we moved half way across the world and every day feels exciting and new.

I was shamed by my father for being an overly sensitive child. I was abused physically and mentally through neglect and verbal abuse. UNTIL I learned through reading about psychology and self help, that my sensitivity is a gift. I think it is very important for women to familiarize themselves with terms such as 'condesention' 'shaming' 'undermining' 'gaslighting' 'standover tactics' 'dismissive' 'loaded language' 'belittling' etc, in order to challenge the attitudes and behaviors of others towards them so that they can then hold to account what is wrong in a situation, but also challenge their own internal dialogue.

Dr. Mate said there is a correlation between “niceness” and cancer NOT kindness and cancer. These are 2 very very different things. One can be both nice and kind at the same time but nice is just how others perceive someone. Kind is a quality of character.

It has taken me many years to even realize how minimized I felt in my family, and to step away from that toxicity. As to your question, I can't really say. But these days I am relating to the word - Validation. No matter how many there are, take time to see, hear, validate, and love each one. When there are conflicts, validate each point of view, and teach them how to see and cherish the truth in each point of view. Teach them to listen with love, how to apologize, and how to forgive. Growing up in 9 was a good experience in many ways. But my parents were WWII generation. They didn't talk about feelings, at all. They taught us how to share, to 'get along', to go along, to sit down and be quiet. I still have difficulty knowing what I want, and making decisions.

In recent years, I've struggled a bit with him because he has appeared so clearly ill and depressed - it was like, it didn't add up. Here he talks about resolving the myth of his public persona and his private life and how his wife really required it of him. I love that he can be so brutally honest about his own frailties and growth. You can physically see the peace and healing that has occurred within him. 💚

This. I see much of this. I remember telling psychologist in my 12 steps group CBT group who were treating people with various MH conditions (like ASD and trauma) with CBT that perhaps these people would benefit better from people like Brene Brown and Gabor Mate, I think this was around 2017… I couldn’t believe the prescribed therapy simply instructed people to tap into whether they feel angry and then blow bubbles - there was no learning or growth - it was teachings for 9 year olds. While people were suffering - going to work while very ill, working while very ill, working to earn £100 pw, paying £40 for therapy, £50 for chiropractic therapy, having £60 for groceries and then told by CBT group therapy to blow bubbles when you’re stressed. Meanwhile the healthcare neglects to check the patient who has severe health issues - because they seemingly are functioning. Later of course turns out patient is rather severely ill.

@@thomashassall96 Everyone feels this. It's just a down clycle. When the fun of living in a consequence and human free environment wears off, and it will wear off, you start another chapter. When you're ready. As someone that knows this thinking pretty well, at some point it becomes apparant that the person that cuts himself off from society, in practice or even in thought, is simply breaking the ties with the connections of his own existance. Turning away from the genes that built his body. The ancenstors that created the lanuage in which he thinks, that constructed a system of beliefs he holds as true. The man or woman who breaks this tie has been seen as simply a nothing. Waste. Where the person, in comparison, who has lived the life, beit as the thief, the doctor, the priest, the postitute, the single mother, the homeless man, the rxecutive has aligned themselves with the phrase "to be." I think you'll find that everyone around you no matter how unimpressive they may seem are some how intrinsic to what it really means to be human. The individual is just cell, coming and going like any annonymous cell of the body. But the timeless form remains. I'm still inline with your thinking but I do hope to get here.

Every time I spoke to him it would be very upsetting and take me back to childhood, but I would push back and try not to let him walk all over me for my sanity. However, he wasn’t treating my Mum well, so I decided I had to ‘play nice’ in order to try to persuade him to get her what she needed. This is when the migraines started. They would come on almost immediately after hearing his voice on the phone. So I’m taking a break now as I’m doing IVF and it was too much, but it was the migraines that made me realise I had to take a break.

Listening to these voices, help me affirm the thoughts that i have been ruminating for a while, especially after losing both my parents in a short window of 3 years. My mom was just 60 when she passed away with no medical conditions whatsover. She was extremely extremely over the board generous and patient and nice even to people who hurt her. When she passed away suddenly within a matter of 3 days because of gall bladder infection, people were hellishly shocked and in denial. But strangely, I was not! Though i knew she had no physical problems, i knew what she was going through deep pain psychologically. She was a big time pushover. She could never say a No. So was my dad. All our life decisions were based around pleasing the society! When she passed away, this was the exact thought that came to my mind "Only if she spared herself for herself and us!" . Hundreds of people cried around her but i knew nonev of them knew her well at all They all liked her because she was there for them always with no boundaries! And they would never find any like her! But in real, I wish she saved herself for people who mattered. She had grown resentful over years that took her away from us.... This podcast just gave me the chills as i had a similar epiphany when she passed away! I feel like God is talking to me through this podcast ❤

The most kind and compassionate people die because they needed but didn't find love from the people they served, but they didn't know there was God who loved them all their life, and this love was greater than any human could give. You can change the world if you love people the way Christ loves them, unconditionally, generously, caringly. I love the word "charity" which King James' Bible uses in place of love in this context. Charity is not a donation of things or money, it's genuine deep caring for people, which is more than love, because it's always doing and acting selflessly. My sincere condolences on your loss.

Spot on regarding auto immune diseases. I always put everyone’s needs first and programmed to help humanity at the expense of my own needs. I had chronic fatigue for many years but now I’m more balanced but it felt like selfishness at the start, putting my needs before others still feels uncomfortable.

@1epcut 6 місяців тому

I agree, it's such an accurate observation. I was diagnosed with RA at the age of 32, and I used to be that quiet person my whole life, who rarely expressed anger, rarely cussed, was conflict avoidant and just wanted peace at all costs. And it felt scary and awkward to start showing my dissatisfaction, but to my surprise, most of those situations I thought would end up in a conflict, got resolved without as much as an argument. Seeing that helped me to express myself more openly instead of suppressing everything inside

I’m so interested in the correlation between people-pleasing and illness. I went travelling for almost 2 months by myself, and managed to put myself first during this trip. I wasn’t sick once. As soon as I came back and engaged in people pleasing again I got sick. It could just be a coincidence but it’s interesting to think about.

I believe a lot of "people pleasers" are just masters of the art of pretending to care, in other words, kissing ass all the time. They lose their inner dignity. There's no problem with being nice but you shouldn't need to put on a fake act. Just be real and try not to be abrasive, generally that's closer to the truth for many and authenticity goes a long way both externally and internally.

@shelchel9168 6 місяців тому

@@the_kingd0m did you watch the video? Dr Gabor explains the root of people-pleasing behaviour and it’s not quite how you’re describing it. Fair enough if that’s what you believe but I don’t think it’s helpful to shame people for behaviour which could be rooted in trauma.

Bless your soul, you wonderful man every word you spoken has touched me deeply in my soul as I am a survivor of childhood trauma. I was adopted by a very wealthy family in Australia. The mother used to shake me. Her sons used to bash me in the head and my youngest brother, sexually abused me and told me if I did not do so I would have to live on the streets and everyone hated me, I actually made the choice at 14 to leave home as I decided that I did not want to live my life around these people and I’m gonna help other people that been caught up in society with people of forced into horrible situation’s when we all have the power to heal, I became professional dog groomer, and I love the way you talk about animals elephants bang my favorite animal, and an Indian man told me I have the spirit of the mother elephant, so I find all of your words are absolutely beautiful.

I was at the Doxy when he gave that talk he was unhappy about and if that was Gabor on a bad day then we are all in trouble. I was over hearing a conversation with two colleagues, one who’d never heard him speak or read his books. They were very moved and inspired. Despite all his wisdom and knowledge he still doesn’t know or feel fully safe within. Which weirdly gives us all peace and acceptance. Surely. Great episode. Fantastic conversation. I hope the mental health/psychiatry/NHS catch up soon! Much love if you are in fact reading the comments. Although gutted I didn’t see the talk with Prince Harry. The British press are insidious and should be irrelevant. Keep talking and getting the word out there. ❤

@NEMEIFX 6 місяців тому

I can say that the first step in any change is awareness, and you've already achieved that. Recognizing that you have a tendency to self-abandon in favor of pleasing others is crucial. From here, you can start to explore why you do this and what steps you can take to prioritize yourself more often. It's never too late to change. Even small steps can lead to significant improvements over time. You're not alone in this, so feel free to reach out to people of people who are going through similar emotions so... hope I have contributed with some good.

Awareness is the first step. Alan Robarge has some vey insightful videos here on UKposts, on people pleasing and the core wound of attachment trauma that might be helpful. He’s a clinical psychologist specialising in attachment wounds and how we then adapt our behaviours in adult life. He has some transformational information. I also have an autoimmune disease that has been in remission since I did the healing work of attachment wounds from my childhood. Might be a coincidence, but I ‘feel’ different now and remission followed.
