Imagine having him as your doctor as you were just getting into recovery. Its rare in the field to have such an insightful voice.

Brilliant man, he knows exactly why people are addicted, doctors please listen to his talks., the world would be a different place

She didn't want to answer the question. And she wanted to control the situation. Interesting. He handled it beautifully.

Addiction is hard enough but i believe that the guilt and shame,that most people feel, are what is the real problem when dealing with addiction...

Such a genius: someone who can take highly complex ideas and make them obvious to a "Duh!" level. The right man for the right moment in history.

Gabor Maté is brilliant. Shame the interviewer was not up to the task. In the UK people became emotionally unavailable and it seems this madness is spreading like wildfire.

She buckled when it came to herself! I love Gabor he's a truthful genius who really can help

Pity around 16:00 when Gabor tried to take it outside of the mere informational approach and engage in some human interaction the interviewer swiftly reined it in.

At present, we still don't acknowledge emotional pain. If its physical we are all over it. Our healthcare system should be 75 percent emotional pain management n 25 percent physical to bring it into balance.

This guy has very good understanding of childhood trauma and addiction 👏

Thank you! I was surprised you didn’t let Gabor control his presentation more and allow the participants to answer his question.

It's so sad that we need someone as brilliant as Doctor Mate to let us know that compassion and treating suffering people in a humane way is the solution to peoples trauma/addictions. It just shows how sick our society is in how we treat them like garbage and expect to have that magically solve the problem.

At 15:20 -- It's painful to watch an interviewer not only couldn't understand the definition of addiction Dr Mate repeated a few times but also refused his request for audience to respond because she couldn't understand that at that moment (not half hour later!) is the exact right time to bring audience in for interactive engagement for an effective talk, especially since she refused to engage (it is totally fine not want to reveal personal stuff, but don't restrict others who want to engage!).

Correct about heroine as to alcohol or nicotine ! My father was pharmacist V P Sales at Eli Lilly said nothing should be illegal on drugs all should be legal only mental trauma children experience causes the problem. This is critical that caring for the human from birth to 8 years old that forms the human!

Thank God for doctors like Dr. Gabor who are compassionate and looking at the root cause of people’s deepest pain and suffering.❤️ Treat the root cause instead of symptoms. 🙏🏼 Praying for everyone who are working on overcoming their own chosen addictive patterns/behaviours. Be patient. Healing takes time and conscious responsibility.

So much respect to all those helping others heal. It's a true calling. I absolutely found my purpose as well in telling my story from years of complete despair to healing my brain and getting my life back! 💟🦋🕉

This man is absolutely amazing and we all should take a lesson or two ,,,, this is truth

Doc Mate ❤️🙏🏾

Anything that distracts us from examining our family of origin dynamics. We must be self aware or we don’t know ourselves.

Thank God for this wonderful man who is so clear about -where the origins of our pain come from that we so need relief from in substances or behaviours that are not in our best interests. Thank you Dr Mate. It's the truth that sets us free, yes! Breaking through denial takes a lot of courage, but with the help and compassion of one who knows, it can be done. And the reward? We get our life back!

Addiction if you suffer negative problems interfering with a functioning constructive life as I am addicted to internet reading news and always “learning something that I did not know before”! Connection with the world that is 24 hrs .

Exactly! No molecular level, protein, enzyme or gene can tell you one's experience, nor heal one's experience

Just say, "I'm not comfortable sharing my own personal addictions on a live stream recorded video." No need for deflection tactics, it's fine not to want to share personal things to the world at large. It's just frustrating to watch you try to come up with an indirect way to avoid talking about your personal experiences.

I took sedatives for a year and it took me to a version of myself that forgot the past and gave me a little confidence. It all turned out really badly. But i think I will always be an addict. Taking the pain away is too appealing. But I'm avoiding it as much as I can.

Dr Maté is brilliant! Yes, I agree with other comments that this interviewer can’t open up and allow herself to be vulnerable. It’s such a learning opportunity, for what Maté says applies to most of us, whether we know it or not.

Wow, Gabor if only more people could see addicts as you do.

17:00 This is what Gabor does. He asked the same type of question to Tim Ferriss. To be fair to this interviewer, Tim also deflected of going to his childhood trauma as well, and instead choice a more current triggering event. It's troubling that if Tim Ferriss knows not to be vulnerable, or authentic in public what's the rest of us to do?

Thank you so much for your contributions!

I'm really interested to hear the interviewer's discomfort with having to face her own disclosure to addiction... I, I, um, let's move on ... 90 percent and 10 percent... this is the kind of work I do myself in relation to the ecological emergency. I love Gabor Mate... what an extraordinary man. Brilliant.

Thank you Dr. Gabor for your deep understanding, showing and sharing it with us through your whole being. You are a rare human being. But why? Maybe you ask yourself the right questions? I dont know. I feel something good listening to you. Luv

This guy is On It, Luv it. He's awesome thank you Mate :)

no harm from caffeine? you gotta be kidding me

When my mom died I noticed I constantly went shopping for cloths, I felt a sort of felt a relief but not lasting( of course)(( this was 22 years ago))

I love this man, but the interview was awful sorry. What a golden man Infront of you . Yet your own stuff Uper lip couldn't handle the information. I from northern Ireland I hope this beautiful man talks to us.

Truth. Truth. Truth.

Fantastic video but spare a thought for the poor host who claimed she had no addictions (no compulsive behaviour that she considers harmful) and then look at the title the producers put on this film. The quote from Gabor Mate that 90% are addicted and the other 10% are lying to themselves - implying that their own invigilator has a distinct lack of self awareness. Strange decision.

Dr. Gabor Mate is 💯

THANK YOU🌟🙏🏼🌟

Clever man thank u

Yes. Everyone is addicted to something. Some addictions are worse than others but they are all inherently unhealthy.

Brilliant man, you chickened out...

Dr Gabor, great talk! Question. Would you say that I, as well as most people are addicted to work? I’m an engineer and sit in front of computer for 8+ hours a day, and lately notice it’s taking a toll on my health, so the negative long term consequences are there. But through work we’re creating significant value for society and make other people’s lives easier (and for future generations). Where do we draw the line between addiction that should be stopped, and a sacrifice worth pursuing?

I think an instant identifier about whether you have an addiction or passion is if you have to lie about it, at all, in any capacity.

Rehabilitation not punishment!

ok i well lisin to you cos i feel u are my yoda

That's the big business of 21 century: telling in mass media that broken people are broken. Parents are, was, and it will be unloving because they first love their addictions. Should the zombies have children? Definitely not. By the way, once you survived a misery just let it go, keep yourself clean and do your best to live a safe life.

wondering if excessive daydreaming would be an addictive behavior

Addictions are like money. You may have different currencies but it's all money. You can earn it,loose it you can give it away or it can be stolen. The nature of it is the same however the culture isn't. This is a metaphor that popped into my head as I was processing his idea. I have boderline personality disorder so addiction is something I have spent years breaking down this really gave me a slightly different view. My one question is, is anything without negative impact? I don't think anything is purely bad or good. I have battled self harm and I still struggle to believe it's wrong because although it does hurt my body to me the benefits out weight the negitive in my mind. I try to sort of except I'm wrong about self harm and hoped one day it would make sense. I haven't been hurt myself in years but in all honesty I still feel like it was more like a passion of mine. I wonder if any passion you have could only affect you positively.

2:42 until your guest is lintroduced. Too long.

Wow..

❤️

Evolution has given us a desire for survival and therefore many things that no longer work well in the modern world.

Why is Madeline Albreight in the pictures?

Interviewer bottled it 🤣

I've always thought that. They just have self control

he understands the similarity and stresses on the similarity because his understanding is based on compassion and love. And love is the basis for the most part or the lack of addiction, passion and meaning, self control awareness and being concious and awakened to a certain degree of capacity. its quite understandable to well understand that many do not have addiction but if you think about it you are addicted to wasting time or doing things that do not contribute to humanity or serve a necessary utility for the people. We're prone to live our life on autopilot and that is because we let our animal instinct drive our behaviour and we lust after things, greedful behaviour and the usual concept of sinful behaviour on the list of bad behaviour are trivial yet they are just normal behaviour because it is hard to change for better and that makes us mediocre!?. to make much more sense outwork everyone or just be like goggins. we are slaves to comfort and despise suffering. we are in denial. we run away from most of our problems and waste ourselves everyday. take extreme ownership and responsibility it's hard but there is more meaning and helpful. It's not much to talk about being that irrelevant or not so harmful to self or others but at the end we do not find it that meaningful yet we do it and stay the same. Can this way of thinking help us point towards our lack of self control and observing such behaviours bring a change in all of us. Im guilty of all of these and i find that being compassionate but not lenient on such things could help us focus on things although it would be a personal act of change.

The crimes of theft etc., to get more drugs seem worse than the other addictions outcomes

Newspapers in the morning now the internet get my newspapers!

stylin goggles!

I couldn't help but notice that the host seemed a wee bit rattled when asked if she had any addictive patterns, and was quick to change the subject.

When a genius and scholar like Dr Mate can refer to his own addiction as a non substance addiction it reiterates his own internal struggle to hold himself as a "more powerful" person in the world it goes to show how easy it is to be addicted to power.

What do you say to people who harming themselves? I suffer from onychotillomania for two years and no one is able to help me.

🙏

Who is the interviewer?

passion or addiction/? ...

🕊

im sorry if i have affinded you in any way i highly respicet you in so many way u have opend ppl eyes up to the truth that evryone wont amite plz forgive me

The medical field NEVER addresses childhood trauma or any psychological trauma and the ramifications of said trauma. I tell my medical doctors that I come from a trauma background.

Nope. I am definitely not addicted to anything or anyone. Never have been. So thanks.

OMG seeing this woman squirm and dodge this question like a politician is so cringe. Role playing is just ego. You got to be vulnerable if you want to venture into the spiritual realm. What happened here is called playing pretend.

Can one be addicted to his/her own freedom? I was trying to find my addiction and all I could find was maybe I'm addicted to my freedom or my space. Is it possible?

American doctors should have to take a semester of college in Dr Gabor Maté teachings. Imagine preventative medicine 💊💉💊 Ban alcohol and cigarettes while you're at it 🍷🍾🍸🥃🍺🚭🚬

It's sad but telling how she avoids talking about herself. I am sure she binged on chocolate or netflix at least once in her life!

Oh

Well alrighty then, Mate ;)

Check out Celebrate Recovery if you suffer with an addiction and want help with a 12 step program. It’s free and all over the country.

This woman is blubbering cos she hasn't entirely understood what this dude is on about & she's not ready to get real. Why invite Mate to talk if your not ready to engage when he asks u a simple question? Do u see any of those patterns in u? Yes definitely. What it is to be human :)

The way this woman interviews with such control issues make me cringe. She should feel grateful to have the opportunity to interview such a brilliant man.

She's not the best interviewer for Dr Gabor

The craving IS the harm, according to the Buddha.

Let’s not make a “guru” / perfect parent /god of him - by his own revelation - he must attend 24-7 to this work - inside himself- in his own life …. Best to us all as we follow our own unique path to wholeness - we have never lost this intrinsic part of ourselves …

Posh lady didn’t want to play ball

Wow. The interviewer is so obviously troubled and unable to self reflect.

How horrified the host is baffling. How can you be a host if you're so terrified 🤣

How to get an echo, make your voice go woing-woing-woing, hear yourself coming back at yourself: 1.) Step One: record in front of the hardest possible surface you can find. A solid wall interrupted only by glass windows is a good idea. That's it. That's all you need to do. Don't, for the life of you, have curtains or cloth-covered surfaces anywhere near you. These tend to make your voice clearly audible the way Maté's is.

They’re lying today also about the harms of vaping.

Wow wish i waz that rich

News papers in morning

Dangerous man for alcoholics and drug addicts. Not scientific and justifies and promotes blaming everyone and everything rather than the substance which is the main problem

She's so irritating and ill informed.

Just skip the first 2+ minutes of this. I csme for Mate but had to leave.

meat

The defeated hydrofoil intuitively arrange because news unknowingly crush besides a precious silver. acceptable, rainy sheet

Dr Gabor is stuck in the Victim Mindset.

Gabor Mate makes money out of others addictions. Awful. inauthentic man

How dare you talk such nonsense? Many of us don’t have addictive personalities.
