I have multiple autoimmune diseases. I wish people would listen to him. I got so frustrated with that horrible woman. He described my life. I was literally told throughout my childhood, over and over again, that I had no right to an opinion and no right to be heard. This continued into adulthood, to the extent that my brother would clamp his hand over my mouth to stop me speaking, even in my 50s. My rheumatologist once asked me if I was stressed, but how can you unburden yourself of decades of abuse in a ten-minute appointment?
I'm touched by your comment and the connection you've made to the video. It's heartbreaking hearing about the difficulties you've encountered throughout your life, and I'm sorry to hear about the painful experiences you've had. You have a right to be heard, and your voice is important. I hope that by sharing your story, you can find comfort and strength in knowing you are not alone. It is never too late to begin the healing process, and I hope you have a supporting network around you. Thank you for sharing your insights, and best wishes on your quest to a healthier and happy life.Sending you lots of positive thoughts and virtual hugs,💖🌻💕🤗
Thank you for sharing your thoughts about this topic! Indeed trauma, whether it's childhood or any other type, can have a profound impact on our overall health, including autoimmune diseases. It's important to acknowledge the connection between our emotional well-being and physical health. Your comment adds valuable perspective to the discussion,❤️💖🌺
I *really* appreciate you showing an interview with a hostile host. Whether that host was personally triggered or on audition for the Devil's Advocate, the way that Gabor patiently dispels the continued list of false equivocations with fact based evidence is EXACTLY the kind kind of skill we all need to learn and exercise often in order to maintain our own agency on this journey.
It is STUNNING to listen to the frustrated argumentativeness of the interviewer here, as well as Dr. Maté’s patience! I wish people could just listen and understand without panicking because their world view is crumbling. I have 2 older siblings who have shut me out for sharing one of his videos with them in a group text. That was 3 weeks ago today. I know factually they received my text, but are now “ghosting” me. I’m the invisible child in my birth family, so I shouldn’t be surprised.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your views and experiences with us. It's noteworthy to see Dr. Maté's patience in the midst of such challenging discussions. I'm very sorry to hear about your older siblings' situations. It can be really tough when loved ones react this way, especially when you're trying to share something meaningful. Your willingness to seek understanding and participate in these discussions is admirable. Remember that you are valued and appreciated by this community, and your viewpoint is important. Stay strong, and remember that you are not alone in your journey for empathy and understanding. ❤️
Well done ,honey! You did your job,like a good sister .If your siblins don't want to see the evidence it is not your fault. Let them be ,and make something useful for your self.
You struck a chord!! They don t want to deal with it. You are not the invisible one but special and more present than your sisters because you are more in tune with your inner self and want to help yourself and others. You will heal because you want to. You can’t help others if they don’t want to be helped sadly!
Los elegiste como hermanos??? te llegaron...y te hacen ver tu necesidad y la mis de aprobacion....eso es tambien un trauma y una adiccion.Gracias y mucho animo....Doctor Mate usted es un crack!!!! wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
I am a bit annoyed at the interviewer skepticism, but equally thankful that she expressed it. She is voicing what I can hear from countless of people. It gave him a chance to teach us about what he knows by taking the skepticism and ignorance head on.
Job of a journalist but it did sound as if she wanted to contradict what he was saying, rather than asking questions that society needs to address, like how to deal with addicts etc.
So true....I had suffered from 3 years of high stress due to my husband's organ transplant. After his 3rd major setback, I shut down emotionally. I sobbed my heart out everyday. Then my own health started to suffer....I had severe gastritis; facial nerve pain; body numbness and debilitating depression. After being hospitalized with a nervous breakdown, my doctor ordered blood work which came back positive for an autoimmune disease. I was put on a different depression medication, had bi-weekly counseling and started journaling. 4 months later, I was retested and my body was cleared of antibodies.
I agree although I have heard Dr Mate advise people that his wife and children may not have agreed with you. I love that Dr Mate speaks from a personal as well as an occupational stance. I currently work as a General Practice Nurse and discuss Dr Mate with a MHP colleague. We were talking about who we would like to have to a dinner party if we could invite Anyone. We both chose Dr Mate :) I also chose Dr Bruce Perry as that is where my journey to self discovery began. Thank you for keeping on with your message, I send relevant links to a lot of my patients.
As far as I can remember from nursing school, almost every single illness we’ve studied has “stress” as a precipitating factor. So yes, you cannot take away trauma from the equation.
You just described me, C-PTSD and chronic EBV flares and joint pain. I’m 54 and started when I turned 50. Thank you so much for your compassion and dedication to improving human lives. ❤
It baffles me that there are still people who want to close their eyes and ears on matters that nowadays even a layman understands, and you wouldn't expect that from a public person interviewing one of the greatest experts in the field of trauma in the world - the other one, in my opinion, being Dr. Bessel van der Kolk. She should sit for an hour or two together with me, and I would explain to her how it feels to deal with the consequences of childhood trauma despite the fact of being well informed, open minded and having the willpower and the absolute trust that I'll manage to get out of this hell on my own. Maybe I could show her the list of 27+ symptoms I've been dealing with in my mature age, despite having been a powerhouse in my youth, just before the suppressed memories came back. To be honest, I envy her for having the opportunity of discussing with Dr. Maté. What a pity, she apparently didn't realize the chance given to her - or who knows, maybe this conversation will help her understand where her aggressiveness comes from?
Poor Sally. I think she is now probably wishing she could go back and conduct that interview with a very different tone! None the less, yet again Gabor Mate clarified and corrected in a way that added even more to my understanding of his research and experience even though I have enjoyed listening to him speak many times! The learning never ends =)
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and personal experiences here. You clearly understand trauma and its long-term consequences, and I appreciate your openness to engage in a mindful conversation.Dr. Maté's insights are indeed invaluable and we value your perspective on the importance of this topic. We hope that as more people participate in these discussions, the world will become more sympathetic and well-informed.Thank you for being a part of this important discussion🙏✨💖
No, unfortunately this interviewer has a hidden agenda. The bulk of her income comes from big pharma and Dr. Mate's wisdom goes against mainstream "big pharma" wisdom. So she's deliberately trying to invalidate him. She's infamous for this.
I see nothing wrong with her asking questions on things shes not clear about, every question she asked are things i have personally been thinking about, and because she brought it up i am now clear on them, just because you know them doesn't mean everyone does. Be calm please
Seems the interviewer has her own traumas to be so closed off and a bit on the defensive side, but she also brought up some good questions and Gabo responded with his usual grace and intelligent insight. What a gift he is! ❤
He handled this interview so well. It's like she's not trying to understand where he's coming from but actively trying to undermine his ideas from the go. But his absolute confidence overcomes all of that. I'm not sure why she would want to go into such an interview with this kind of attitude.
Ya, who is she really talking to?! Gabor Mate is so worthwhile and what a help he is to so many that have autoimmune conditions or are slowly coming out of our denial that maybe we aren't as emotionally healthy as we thought. One of my biggest helpers is a Doc of Oriental Medicine, Functional Practitioner as half of the 1.5 hr appt time is more like talk therapy. She treats me as a whole person. compartmentalized.
Wow - the interviewer was triggered, defensive and hostile! Never seen this before in any of Gabor's interviews. He is a master and walks his talk. Full of compassion, patience, love and understanding. He is a true gift to humanity.
Wow! She was spicy!! So unwilling to open her eyes and listen. I suffer with rheumatoid arthritis and I know what you say is so true. I thank you for your beautiful insights and wisdom....this is helping me in so many ways with my condition ❤
I’m gutted I was too late to get tickets to see you in Scotland Dr Mate… Your graceful role modelling in handling challenging interviewing such as this can help us all handle the rife invalidation that we often face. Your work and compassionate authenticity is VITAL to help heal us all. Deep Gratitude 🙏❤️🏴💫
As a child I was molested by my mother's brother in law and I didn't mention it to anyone especially because I was scared of my mom and when I did tell her she didn't believe me and she called me a liar. Even as an adult she would dismiss my truth she defended my child molster till his death. I found it in my heart to try to forgive her and I was able to let go of my hurt and rage. I have resentment at times I am working on processing my many traumas because it has had a deep impact on my health. I have type 2 diabetes and cancer. I no longer suppress my emotions and I feel better and less crazy and less sad. This information is so mind blowing and comforting.
want to express my sincere sympathy for what you've been through. It takes so much bravery to share such painful experiences, and the courage you show in confronting and processing these traumas is truly inspirational. I'm sorry to hear about your family's lack of support, but it's admirable that you've found it within yourself to forgive and work toward healing. Your path to mental healing and well-being is truly life-changing. It's encouraging to hear that you're feeling better and finding comfort in the information you've received. Remember that you are not alone, and the strength you have is wonderful. I wish you continued strength and healing on your journey. I'm sending you so much hugs, love and support.❤️💖🙏🌺
Dr Mate is completely correct. I have been on a thirty year healing journey, healing my child hood traumas, my adult traumas, seeing my body heal. Definitely stress is a HUGE cause of illness. This woman is showing how blinkered the medical world is. They only want to believe it if it can be seen under a microscope!!!!!
I remember being interviewed by this woman years ago. I recognise her voice. We were talking about a social enterprise restaurant that gave profits to help underprivileged families - she started berating me with questions like “aren’t you making diners feel guilty about spending money”?!?!? I remember being like wtf? This woman’s thinking is so distorted and seemingly so against compassion, any understanding of what compassion is or the importance of it! I pray someone truly loving enters her life soon and gives her the compassion she desperately needs 😢
Bullying and isolation at school caused me severe social/performance anxiety making it impossible to make human connections/relationships at 28. Esp. people my age trigger my anxiety. Even losing my beloved Dad at 7yo didn't traumatize me as nearly as school experiences. Teachers will always be monsters to me, esp. the PE teachers who enabled choosing me last for the team due to my heart condition. I don't think I'll ever "let go" of it, knowing next kids go through the same due to school system.
I'm really sorry to hear about your pain and difficulties, and I appreciate you sharing your story. It takes a lot of guts to talk about this. Bullying and isolation can have a major effect, and it's reasonable that they've affected the way you're able to connect. We should remember to recognize that your feelings are valid, and that healing can take time. While I can't change your past experiences, I hope you can take comfort in knowing that you are not alone in your struggles. Many people have had similar challenges, and resources as well as support network are available for those struggling with social anxiety and traumatic school experiences.Remember that healing is a journey, and it is never too late to seek help or discover new ways to connect. You deserve to be happy and to have meaningful relationships. Please take care, and thank you for sharing your story💖🙏🥰
Hate teachers! Hate school! I was the only non white student at my school & no one stopped the r@cism I experienced or the constant bullying/harassment; if anything it was perpetrated by teaches also- someone made a rumour that I made “magic 🍃brownies” in my food class, due to me being half Jamaican, & I nearly got kicked out of school as they just believed it! I had to go to my food teacher, the assistant & then they contacted THE EXAMINER (as it was an exam) who all agreed with my Mum & I that they smelt NOTHING!!! Because I did NOTHING!! It wasn’t true! I would be punish if I did anything or defended myself- to be honest even if I wasn’t doing anything; I spent 95% of one of my school years with no break or lunch times & I had to sit on the floor next to my teachers desk, while everyone else looked down on me- due to 2 weeks into that year she heard someone laugh, during art, & blamed me; then I never got the privilege of a chair or desk again. That’s until I went on a 3 month hunger strike half way through the year & the headteacher let me sit in his office so I could have lunch. I was also actively humiliated by teachers who would make all the kids join in & laugh at me. When I was jumped by several people at 12 (15-16 yr olds) they were going to permanently kick me out of school (now I know the reason I manage to defend myself is due to that “disabled strength” 😅). My Mum threatened to go to the papers & I was allowed to stay in school. I’ve lost count how many times they banned my Mum from my school because she turned up or called going mad (she did threaten to beat a few teachers up though😅). At 14 I contacted the governors of my school & the head of education asking for a meeting with them & some of the teachers I’d collected proof on- I had to go alone. Though I won it didn’t help, instead they found every reason to keep me out & send me home (it took me 3hrs to get home) & when I expressed to them that it was like they were “trying to ruin my education”, I was told “you don’t need to be here to get us good grades”. I was also told “children don’t have human rights”. I have over 40 different qualifications & was considered exceptionally gifted- which meant in the beginning I had to prove I wasn’t cheating by being monitored due to getting 99-100% in everything). My nickname in my family is Google. Now I think the 1 nice teacher 💚 was right- I intimidated them; but it’s still left me traumatised. I also worked in a school (thought it might help me heal) for over 2 years & it was horrible because of the teachers! 2 were actually really nice to be fair but, for example, a couple at least would lie about me if I didn’t do what they wanted (despite it not being in my job description); I was also laid off without any notice, learned I had been unknowingly training my replacement & they deducted money from my last pay check, taking over half, & deleted my contract (which was online) before they did it- so I couldn’t check the terms; because I swore everything taken was included & I wouldn’t be charged but I had no proof (learnt a lesson). I could tell you an abundance of horrendous stories of all I experienced in the education system. It was/is definitely a catalyst to all I struggle with today- on top of being late diagnosed. I also have trauma from the medical field as I was chronically sick from near birth, due to multiple ailments (that I’ve spent many years healing in to adulthood), so I spent a lot of my earlier life being poked & prodded, in hospital (to the extent I had my own toys left there for when I would inevitably return); woken up to being stripped & st@bbed (without my permission) all throughout the night & day (even @ 13- so awkward waking up realising your b⭕️⭕️bies are out & there like 8+ medical students staring & touching you). Again, many stories… but if I’m honest there isn’t a area of life that was ever stable. My life’s been so wild (you’d never know it though meeting me) that the few times I have told someone even 10% they don’t know how to handle it. I’ve had multiple counsellors, doctors & psychologists tell me “I’m pretty so focus on that”; to “come back when I know how to fix myself”; straight up start crying & saying “I don’t know how 5 adult would deal with that let alone a child”- then they leave me; say they need to refer me to someone more qualified or knowledgeable & it’s so far never happened. Turns out I got a couple diagnoses at 20-21 but didn’t find out about them until I was nearly 27! I could of been getting help that whole time! So here I am now, currently, trying to fight again. Sorry, I didn’t intend for this to be so long, I just kind of started to ramble! Though I only wanted to reply briefly to explain I understand & it nice to come across someone else who understands (& is around the same age); but at the same time it also sucks to hear you’ve been through such trauma also & I’m truly sorry 💚 Don’t want to make this too long so I’m going to end it by wishing you, & all who may read this, a lovely day/night/life❣️ Peace ☮️ in & out ✌️
Dr. Mate, I am so glad I came across your channel. I have rheumatoid-lupus syndrome an auto immune disease. Stress is really a big factor in having flare up.
Only people that have overcome and sometimes healed the pain out of trauma, know this truth. For the others including the health sector, it is too difficult to understand 🙏❤
Yes we all had bad things happen in childhood, but some children had a very unloving cold parent or parents. Love heals things and neglect makes pain or trauma worse.
Thank you for this interwiev, I have MS and my sister have autoimune disease de to c. Trauma, our father went through conc. Kamp in Slovenia, and his whole family, when Germans came. On the other side mother, much younger, malign. Narc. Who denied his war trauma, never allowed us to speak or express anything. My sister lives in London, she is very sick and treated horribly by med. Dr. Who does not believe in pain she goes through from rheumatic. Arthritis. Sorry for being so long. In case you do not know Slovenia belonged to ex Yugoslavia.The 6 republics separated after a recent war, complete health devastation, economic disaster and so on. Thank you. I listen to you always and so happy cause no dr. Understand any of this. They have 5 min. To listen along with their ignorance. It is such a relief to know you can explain and full of knowledge. All the best .
Had i known about these lectures of Doctor Matè when I was younger, I would not be like this now, a broken, hurt and "defeated" older person .. but thank you Dr. Matè, i learned a lot.
Thank you for sharing your genuine thoughts with us. It is never too late to begin a path of self-discovery and healing. Dr. Matè's wisdom has influenced many lives, including yours, and is proof of the power of learning and growth. Remember that you are not alone in your challenges, and there is always the possibility of positive change. I wish you all the best on your journey ahead💕🙏
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with us. It's never too late to learn and grow. Remember, life is a journey, and you're never alone in it. We appreciate your presence here in our community, and we're here to support you. Sending you strength and positivity on your path of healing and self-discovery. 🌟💕
I am glad that a nurturing adult helps mitigate the likelihood of adult disease etc...we moved suddenly from one country to another when my daughter was 5 and I am sure it affected her emotionally...we tried to warn her in a short space of time that we had, but she is still upset when we talk about it. I hope we can help her overcome this experience
The man is so insightful and thinking about what I have learned in studying to become a counsellor plus my observations and experiences with others that I am in total agreement with Dr Gabor. The mind is linked to the body and thoughts affect feelings and impact your mental, emotional and physical health. So many people never get to discuss their trauma or pain and suffering so where is the release and outlet for that. A trouble shared can really be trouble halved. It takes time but it can help significantly and make a difference.
The interviewer is challenging Mate. That is a good thing. It allows him to be able to respond in a way that allays concerns from those who are cynical.
Brilliant!!! I am sobhappy Gabor had this interview with such a rigid hoast. She was like a methaphor of the rigid View and paradigma of the classical medical approach and grave Gabor the opportunity to come up with all needed arguments to convince even the most skeptical people that trauma, and consequently splitting, separating the mind from the body and supressing emotions ( in order tonprotect ourselves from the unbareable pain) can cause autoimune diseases. The actual medical approach treats the simptoms and not the real cause. And yes, considering how profitabile IT is, there is no interest in healing people for good.
Thank you very much for those kind words! Despite the host's behavior, I'm happy that you enjoyed Gabor's interview. It's important to have discussions that question standard medical assumptions, and Gabor certainly brought some eye-opening views to the discussion. You are completely correct that addressing the root causes of health concerns, such as trauma, is frequently disregarded in favor of symptom management. It's a complicated problem, but it's necessary that we keep raising awareness about it. Your viewpoint is greatly valued! 😊🌟thank you
She was really pressing it- seemed very skeptical, which is a typical response from people when I share Dr Mate’s information. We have denied this evidence because we don’t believe that mind/body connection- no profit there…
Whenever we have to see a doctor or medical person we can ask if they've had a chance yet to listen to Dr Gabor Mate lectures or have they read his books yet? =)
Beautiful👌💐😊After all Dr Is a Jew that's why so compassionate and Intelligent. Also he exposed western medicine not profound. Mind body not different this is Bhartiya philosophy. So he understood much better Thank you. Childhood trauma adulthood me effect karta hai. Or agar Stress hota hai to us stress se Immune system bigadta hai. 👍👍😊thanks Doctor for clearing my Thinking.😊😊❤👌💐
Thank you for sharing this, and wow...the interviewer! I know a lot of people that seem to feel personally threatened by what he is saying, and her defensive aggression shows that she's not willing to listen to anything he says, and probably speaks of her own unresolved 'stuff'. Desperately sad that much of the medical profession and even therapists are the same. Nadine Burke Harris does a wonderful TED talk on childhood trauma and health consequence, well worth a watch on youtube.
@yourinnerchildmatters Dr. Maté what is written at the end of the video? Your recovery starts with restoring ... Thanks for your explaination. I'm a woman diagnozed MS in 2019 complicated childhood, learned rather to be quiet than express emotions. Cortisol logically doesn't worked, other medicins i've stopped after 3 years. I learned to reduce / deal better with stress, started yoga and meditation. I'm free of new symptomes since 5 years. All the best for you!
Loved how he would answer her very belligerent questions. I do understand though that that is what her listeners would want to know. Love this guy. He's so gifted in his delivery of this information and I enjoy his calm delivery.
I agree with him 100%. I have come to the same conclusion in my practice. I can now almost always predict the pattern between trauma and multiple co-morbidities.
I developed fibromyalgia two months after being sexually assault. I remember when i was being sexually assaulted, my body shot down. I couldn't move or think. It's like my mind was dissociating from my body. After the abuse, I've never addressed the issue. I moved on with my life, acted like nothing happened. Until i started to get sick 2 months later.
I'm very sorry to hear about your suffering and the subsequent onset of fibromyalgia. It's clear that you've been through a challenging journey, and I want to thank you for sharing it with us. Acknowledging and processing such pain is difficult, but your willingness to open out is a courageous step in the right path. I hope you are receiving the help and treatment you needed to manage your fibromyalgia and deal with the emotional fallout from the painful experienced. Remember that it is never too late to seek help and healing. Your well-being is important, and your experience may encourage others who are going through similar difficulties. Please know that you are not alone, and that there are individuals that are interested in your journey. This community is here for you if you ever want to share more or need someone to talk to. Take care of yourself and be kind with yourself. Sending you lots of positive thoughts and virtual hugs,💖🌻💕🤗
Thank you so much Your Inner Child Matters/Gabor for posting this. I'm not someone to comment on posts but just felt compelled with this. I live in Scotland and the interviewer's attitude is representative of so many here, especially those of a certain generation. (And we wonder why they're such a drug problem). I have saved this to show to skeptical people as I hope being able to watch someone being interviewed by a person demonstrating their own beliefs may help with hearing the message. Let's see. It may be the impact the interviewer was going for. Dr Gabor Mate is honestly one of my favourite people in the world. Please don't stop delivering your vital message. I found When the Body Says No particularly helpful.
Gracias igualmente...desde españa Para mi tambien significa mucho.Que personas talentosas como usted inviten a otras personas talentosas como el Doctor Mate@@yourinnerchildmatters
Hi there! 🌟thank you very much for sharing your journey with us. I'm really sorry to hear about your struggles with MS and the various traumas you've faced. Remember, you're not alone in this. It takes a lot of strength to open up, and I'm sending you positive vibes and support as you work towards overcoming these challenges. Take it one step at a time, and know that your UA-cam community is here for you. 💪🌟 bless you and take care❤️💖🙏
I really like these videos with Dr Mate, I had a traumatic childhood being autistic and abused by a narc mother, I have now been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and it has taken years for this diagnosis, for multiple reasons but having a diagnosis of C-PTSD should have been a massive sign. Lastly, can you not add captions to your videos please? I find it very difficult to understand/process what is happening on screen and hearing what is being said. The option to turn on/off subtitles should be available to everyone & is a feature on youtube. Thank you!
Dr. Mate changed my life. I'm so thankful for him. Well-wishes to you, Jae. And, as for the captions in the video, not only are they tacky and distracting, whoever transcribed them made multiple mistakes when doing so.
Thank you very much for your kind words! We're glad you appreciated the interview and found Dr. Gabor's responses informative. We really appreciate your support and desire to provide you with more valuable content in the future. 🙏 💖
I believe every bit of it. This is someone with common sense right there.! I have been there and I know the relations of what he is saying. It is 100%true.
Thank you Doctor G…. You are a Gift to all, this is Powerful, and I believe filled with truth. You’re a Beautiful Human Being filled with Compassion Knowledge and Insight…*Compassion has the Gift to Heal* thank you, very a Grateful ❤
Excellent interviewer. Was actively listening, critically and skeptically questioning everything and didn't have her own agenda. This is how everybody on a news panel should be treated.
Nobody in Scotland is responsible for Sally's interview style but Sally and her producer. She definately goofed today with the chosen tone! All the folk here in Scotland I know who have read Gabor's books and listened to his many talks and interviews hold him in very high regard. I hope too that these ideas are now reaching the ears of our doctors!
I think if u r a thug when your younger & hurt other's you can maybe expect something later , like ouchie hurt's or sickness, cause you not sapossed to hurt other's 💝
Dr Jean-Martin Charcot, the "founder of modern neurology", who worked with patients suffering from multiple sclerosis wrote that M.S. is caused by "long term vexation and grief". I have M.S. and do see how this might very well be the case. Inflammation have different origins including environmental. I was diagnosed in 2020, a year when stress was prevalent and I'd also experienced 2 life experiences I would call highly stressful or traumatic in the couple of years preceding that. Not to mention years of chronic stress over a confusing abusive climate. And a few ACEs. Some doctors know about these interactions but many don't and none get trained on these at this stage.
She was doing a disservice by asking her questions in a combative and problematic way. You could be curious and ask for information respectfully and in a professional way. I do appreciate his demeanor and approach.
Thank you very much for sharing your concern about the children in Gaza. It's truly heartbreaking to see what they've endured. We must continue to raise awareness and support any initiatives that aim to bring peace and stability to this region. Together, we can make a difference. 💙🕊️ 💕🙏
I don't understand why this interviewer was so combative and kept hyperbolising what he said. I'm currently experiencing an autoimmune flareup, and this video has opened my eyes to how I have been struggling with stress and self view at the moment. A lot of things lately have brought up issues related to my childhood trauma and the past few months have seen me experience back to back symptoms - the latest being autoimmune hives which usually are gone within a week or two max but have been sticking around. Funnily enough, now that I think about it, I had a couple days where I did manage to decrease my stress and they started to clear up but they came back with a vengeance when it spiked again. This discussion also makes me wonder about the link between autoimmune conditions and gender. It's well known that they are more prevalent in women, and I do wonder if the ways that women internalise stress and suppress emotions, and especially seem more inclined to result to people pleasing, is why the rates are so much higher. As opposed to men who might find other ways to let out their negative emotions, which may also be harmful but not so much suppressive (I'm thinking physical violence, etc.) Even without diving into research, it doesn't take much to consider these things and see that the link he's talking about is obviously plausible.
What is with this interviewer? We must blame and shame for their "bad choices'? How does that help anyone? Appreciate Dr. Mate's responses. If more folks understood this the world could be a much more compassionate, kind and pleasant place.
Had a traumatic young life. Got shingles at the age of 34 Am 60 now still recurring shingles. Also had hyperthyroidism , thyroid eye disease culminating in a full thyroidectomy. Any ideas anyone ?
I'm sorry to hear about your difficulties, and I appreciate you sharing your story with us. You've clearly been through a lot, and I can only imagine how difficult it must have been. Recurrent shingles and thyroid problems are not easy to deal with. First and foremost, it is important that you keep close communication with your healthcare professional in order to manage chronic health concerns. They are able to provide you specific advice and treatment alternatives to help you live a better life. In addition to medical therapy, I would suggest that you look into holistic alternatives to supplement your treatment, such as stress reduction techniques, a well-balanced diet, and being physically active to the best of your abilities. Connecting with support groups or online communities where you can discover empathy, advice, and shared experiences from people who have had similar issues may also be helpful. Remember that you are not alone on this journey, and there are others who are concerned about your well-being. Keep your spirits up, and please share any updates or questions you may have along the process. We are here to help you.💕
@@laurelcurley3242truth. I think it’s a way to stay in denial about the mistakes their parents made or they themselves made with their own children. It can feel like you are betraying your family and some religious dogma cements that, as well as the knowledge that generally being a parent requires many sacrifices and we are all human. Why not get curious and willing to learn? Because it’s easier and less comfortable not to.
No, I think she's very conscious of what she's doing. You have to understand, anything that promotes human health and well being, is NOT what the pharmaceutical companies want expressed. And you'd be surprised at how much of mainstream media is funded by big pharma.
I have done a lot to eliminate stressors from my life over the last years. It has been very good for my health; digestion problems and immune problems have almost disappeared. I have also become very alert and sensitive to new stressors, so now even the hostile and needlessly critical style of the host (even though it may be her journalistic style?) gives me sweat, muscle tension and stomach pain…. 😳
I agree it probably plays a part though i have fibromyalgia and m.e and my mental health problems have come back since it started 6 years ago its one of many factors i was also in a bad car accident with broken bones and that really kicied it all off after i recovered a few years later all hell broke loose basically....🙄
WOW!!! This chick needs a good proctologist to remove that great big stick. Sounds like she feels threatened and intimidated by the truth and compassionate raw honesty that likely applies to her as much as to the rest of us. Good grief, I couldn't believe how disrespectful, dismissive, and downright biyotchy she was being. Kind of makes me wonder how stressed out her kids, partner, family are, if she has any. Sheesh, woman, get some therapy on being part of human-kind and maybe take a good, long look in the mirror. Geez. Kudos to Dr. Mate for being so truly and genuinely authentically human and kind to her while untwisting her words and addressing her crap. You're a great man and she, well sadly, she brings great shame to the word 'woman'.
Well said. I would guess that you are right on about her being affected herself. It takes a brave person to be willing to get curious rather than stay in denial.
However - we could look at the interview as an opportunity for Dr Mate to explain more clearly the mind/body connection- he does it so well that other skeptics listening will benefit too…
This interviewer is so aggressive and argumentative! Talk about a closed-minded individual. Everything is “but, but…” She literally puts words in his mouth and argues points that he didn’t even make.
She probably has someone telling her stuff in her ears, the journalist profession is a lot of provocation, to get a reaction out of you, to nake headlines, spice things up, to create a debate or push an agenda...very stupid ofc lol Why not ask in order to understand more or learn more? In u.k. they take things very very seriously as well, this is typical british way of interrogating, it very blunt & square, formal

Praise this man! He is 1000% correct i had 4 autoimmune diseases learned from dr joe dispenza that emotions are very much a part of it and how to manage emotions which started reversing my autoimmune diseases all 4 of them!
I have multiple autoimmune diseases. I wish people would listen to him. I got so frustrated with that horrible woman. He described my life. I was literally told throughout my childhood, over and over again, that I had no right to an opinion and no right to be heard. This continued into adulthood, to the extent that my brother would clamp his hand over my mouth to stop me speaking, even in my 50s. My rheumatologist once asked me if I was stressed, but how can you unburden yourself of decades of abuse in a ten-minute appointment?
I'm touched by your comment and the connection you've made to the video. It's heartbreaking hearing about the difficulties you've encountered throughout your life, and I'm sorry to hear about the painful experiences you've had. You have a right to be heard, and your voice is important. I hope that by sharing your story, you can find comfort and strength in knowing you are not alone. It is never too late to begin the healing process, and I hope you have a supporting network around you. Thank you for sharing your insights, and best wishes on your quest to a healthier and happy life.Sending you lots of positive thoughts and virtual hugs,💖🌻💕🤗
@@yourinnerchildmatters Thank you. 💖
Not sure she was horrible but what he was saying struck a chord with her. She may have an illness or a child with one 😢
...even in your 50s! That is horrendous. Your voice matters and your happiness matters beautiful woman. Xx
Thank you x @@sally995
Gods give me the patience of Gabor Maté dealing with this interviewer. :D
💖 💕💖
He is very right. Not only childhood trauma but any type of trauma can create and exacerbate autoimmune diseases
Thank you for sharing your thoughts about this topic! Indeed trauma, whether it's childhood or any other type, can have a profound impact on our overall health, including autoimmune diseases. It's important to acknowledge the connection between our emotional well-being and physical health. Your comment adds valuable perspective to the discussion,❤️💖🌺
I *really* appreciate you showing an interview with a hostile host. Whether that host was personally triggered or on audition for the Devil's Advocate, the way that Gabor patiently dispels the continued list of false equivocations with fact based evidence is EXACTLY the kind kind of skill we all need to learn and exercise often in order to maintain our own agency on this journey.
thank you for sharing your thoughts💖
Yes.
Well put!
That hostile host was so irritating.
Sometimes it's the perfect kind of interviewer. It gives so much room for explanation.
Her inner child was having a tantrum for Dr. Mate to soothe her.
Sadly, there are countless individuals as skeptical and disbelieving as this interviewer. Bravo, Dr. Mate, for persevering and educating.
It is STUNNING to listen to the frustrated argumentativeness of the interviewer here, as well as Dr. Maté’s patience! I wish people could just listen and understand without panicking because their world view is crumbling. I have 2 older siblings who have shut me out for sharing one of his videos with them in a group text. That was 3 weeks ago today. I know factually they received my text, but are now “ghosting” me. I’m the invisible child in my birth family, so I shouldn’t be surprised.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your views and experiences with us. It's noteworthy to see Dr. Maté's patience in the midst of such challenging discussions. I'm very sorry to hear about your older siblings' situations. It can be really tough when loved ones react this way, especially when you're trying to share something meaningful. Your willingness to seek understanding and participate in these discussions is admirable. Remember that you are valued and appreciated by this community, and your viewpoint is important. Stay strong, and remember that you are not alone in your journey for empathy and understanding. ❤️
Well done ,honey! You did your job,like a good sister .If your siblins don't want to see the evidence it is not your fault. Let them be ,and make something useful for your self.
You struck a chord!! They don t want to deal with it. You are not the invisible one but special and more present than your sisters because you are more in tune with your inner self and want to help yourself and others. You will heal because you want to. You can’t help others if they don’t want to be helped sadly!
You’re the one that’s going to HEAL tho ❤
Los elegiste como hermanos??? te llegaron...y te hacen ver tu necesidad y la mis de aprobacion....eso es tambien un trauma y una adiccion.Gracias y mucho animo....Doctor Mate usted es un crack!!!! wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
I am a bit annoyed at the interviewer skepticism, but equally thankful that she expressed it. She is voicing what I can hear from countless of people. It gave him a chance to teach us about what he knows by taking the skepticism and ignorance head on.
Job of a journalist but it did sound as if she wanted to contradict what he was saying, rather than asking questions that society needs to address, like how to deal with addicts etc.
@@ew4243 I hear you and agree with you. But I think he handled it perfectly fine and gave us truthful and complete answers.
Thanks very much Dr Mate for standing up for us, telling the truth, and teaching us how to remain graceful when confronted by ignorant hostility 🙏🏻
So true....I had suffered from 3 years of high stress due to my husband's organ transplant.
After his 3rd major setback, I shut down emotionally.
I sobbed my heart out everyday.
Then my own health started to suffer....I had severe gastritis; facial nerve pain; body numbness and debilitating depression.
After being hospitalized with a nervous breakdown, my doctor ordered blood work which came back positive for an autoimmune disease.
I was put on a different depression medication, had bi-weekly counseling and started journaling.
4 months later, I was retested and my body was cleared of antibodies.
Thank you for sharing your story. It's important to take care of yourself during challenging times.
We all deserve a father like Gabor 💘😻
I agree although I have heard Dr Mate advise people that his wife and children may not have agreed with you. I love that Dr Mate speaks from a personal as well as an occupational stance. I currently work as a General Practice Nurse and discuss Dr Mate with a MHP colleague. We were talking about who we would like to have to a dinner party if we could invite Anyone. We both chose Dr Mate :) I also chose Dr Bruce Perry as that is where my journey to self discovery began. Thank you for keeping on with your message, I send relevant links to a lot of my patients.
As far as I can remember from nursing school, almost every single illness we’ve studied has “stress” as a precipitating factor. So yes, you cannot take away trauma from the equation.
thank you for sharing your thoughts about this subject 💖
I appreciate the calmness that is executing despite the dismissal questions that she is posing.
Dr. Mate responded beautifully. "response-ABLE"
You just described me, C-PTSD and chronic EBV flares and joint pain. I’m 54 and started when I turned 50. Thank you so much for your compassion and dedication to improving human lives. ❤
It baffles me that there are still people who want to close their eyes and ears on matters that nowadays even a layman understands, and you wouldn't expect that from a public person interviewing one of the greatest experts in the field of trauma in the world - the other one, in my opinion, being Dr. Bessel van der Kolk.
She should sit for an hour or two together with me, and I would explain to her how it feels to deal with the consequences of childhood trauma despite the fact of being well informed, open minded and having the willpower and the absolute trust that I'll manage to get out of this hell on my own. Maybe I could show her the list of 27+ symptoms I've been dealing with in my mature age, despite having been a powerhouse in my youth, just before the suppressed memories came back.
To be honest, I envy her for having the opportunity of discussing with Dr. Maté. What a pity, she apparently didn't realize the chance given to her - or who knows, maybe this conversation will help her understand where her aggressiveness comes from?
Poor Sally. I think she is now probably wishing she could go back and conduct that interview with a very different tone!
None the less, yet again Gabor Mate clarified and corrected in a way that added even more to my understanding of his research and experience even though I have enjoyed listening to him speak many times!
The learning never ends =)
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and personal experiences here. You clearly understand trauma and its long-term consequences, and I appreciate your openness to engage in a mindful conversation.Dr. Maté's insights are indeed invaluable and we value your perspective on the importance of this topic. We hope that as more people participate in these discussions, the world will become more sympathetic and well-informed.Thank you for being a part of this important discussion🙏✨💖
No, unfortunately this interviewer has a hidden agenda. The bulk of her income comes from big pharma and Dr. Mate's wisdom goes against mainstream "big pharma" wisdom. So she's deliberately trying to invalidate him. She's infamous for this.
I see nothing wrong with her asking questions on things shes not clear about, every question she asked are things i have personally been thinking about, and because she brought it up i am now clear on them, just because you know them doesn't mean everyone does. Be calm please
Seems the interviewer has her own traumas to be so closed off and a bit on the defensive side, but she also brought up some good questions and Gabo responded with his usual grace and intelligent insight. What a gift he is! ❤
Great point! thanks for sharing your thoughts 💖🙏
He handled this interview so well. It's like she's not trying to understand where he's coming from but actively trying to undermine his ideas from the go. But his absolute confidence overcomes all of that. I'm not sure why she would want to go into such an interview with this kind of attitude.
Ya, who is she really talking to?!
Gabor Mate is so worthwhile and what a help he is to so many that have autoimmune conditions or are slowly coming out of our denial that maybe we aren't as emotionally healthy as we thought. One of my biggest helpers is a Doc of Oriental Medicine, Functional Practitioner as half of the 1.5 hr appt time is more like talk therapy. She treats me as a whole person. compartmentalized.
Wow - the interviewer was triggered, defensive and hostile! Never seen this before in any of Gabor's interviews. He is a master and walks his talk. Full of compassion, patience, love and understanding. He is a true gift to humanity.
Indeed he is💖
Wow! She was spicy!! So unwilling to open her eyes and listen. I suffer with rheumatoid arthritis and I know what you say is so true. I thank you for your beautiful insights and wisdom....this is helping me in so many ways with my condition ❤
She has a hidden agenda.
❤️
thank you very much for sharing your kind words, bless you💕🙏✨💖
Wow, host is a great example of the resistance to the idea of an emotional component to disease. There is a lot of shame and blame around it.
I’m gutted I was too late to get tickets to see you in Scotland Dr Mate… Your graceful role modelling in handling challenging interviewing such as this can help us all handle the rife invalidation that we often face. Your work and compassionate authenticity is VITAL to help heal us all. Deep Gratitude 🙏❤️🏴💫
Thank you so much for your kind words and support! I'm Sending you much love and appreciation 🙏❤️
Amen ❤
As a child I was molested by my mother's brother in law and I didn't mention it to anyone especially because I was scared of my mom and when I did tell her she didn't believe me and she called me a liar. Even as an adult she would dismiss my truth she defended my child molster till his death. I found it in my heart to try to forgive her and I was able to let go of my hurt and rage. I have resentment at times I am working on processing my many traumas because it has had a deep impact on my health. I have type 2 diabetes and cancer. I no longer suppress my emotions and I feel better and less crazy and less sad. This information is so mind blowing and comforting.
want to express my sincere sympathy for what you've been through. It takes so much bravery to share such painful experiences, and the courage you show in confronting and processing these traumas is truly inspirational. I'm sorry to hear about your family's lack of support, but it's admirable that you've found it within yourself to forgive and work toward healing. Your path to mental healing and well-being is truly life-changing. It's encouraging to hear that you're feeling better and finding comfort in the information you've received. Remember that you are not alone, and the strength you have is wonderful. I wish you continued strength and healing on your journey. I'm sending you so much hugs, love and support.❤️💖🙏🌺
@@yourinnerchildmatters I am grateful to have survived. I am grateful for these videos and grateful for your kind words 💓
Dr Mate is completely correct. I have been on a thirty year healing journey, healing my child hood traumas, my adult traumas, seeing my body heal. Definitely stress is a HUGE cause of illness. This woman is showing how blinkered the medical world is. They only want to believe it if it can be seen under a microscope!!!!!
I remember being interviewed by this woman years ago. I recognise her voice. We were talking about a social enterprise restaurant that gave profits to help underprivileged families - she started berating me with questions like “aren’t you making diners feel guilty about spending money”?!?!?
I remember being like wtf? This woman’s thinking is so distorted and seemingly so against compassion, any understanding of what compassion is or the importance of it!
I pray someone truly loving enters her life soon and gives her the compassion she desperately needs 😢
Thank you for sharing your experience.
Bullying and isolation at school caused me severe social/performance anxiety making it impossible to make human connections/relationships at 28.
Esp. people my age trigger my anxiety. Even losing my beloved Dad at 7yo didn't traumatize me as nearly as school experiences.
Teachers will always be monsters to me, esp. the PE teachers who enabled choosing me last for the team due to my heart condition.
I don't think I'll ever "let go" of it, knowing next kids go through the same due to school system.
I'm really sorry to hear about your pain and difficulties, and I appreciate you sharing your story. It takes a lot of guts to talk about this. Bullying and isolation can have a major effect, and it's reasonable that they've affected the way you're able to connect. We should remember to recognize that your feelings are valid, and that healing can take time. While I can't change your past experiences, I hope you can take comfort in knowing that you are not alone in your struggles. Many people have had similar challenges, and resources as well as support network are available for those struggling with social anxiety and traumatic school experiences.Remember that healing is a journey, and it is never too late to seek help or discover new ways to connect. You deserve to be happy and to have meaningful relationships. Please take care, and thank you for sharing your story💖🙏🥰
Hate teachers! Hate school!
I was the only non white student at my school & no one stopped the r@cism I experienced or the constant bullying/harassment; if anything it was perpetrated by teaches also- someone made a rumour that I made “magic 🍃brownies” in my food class, due to me being half Jamaican, & I nearly got kicked out of school as they just believed it! I had to go to my food teacher, the assistant & then they contacted THE EXAMINER (as it was an exam) who all agreed with my Mum & I that they smelt NOTHING!!! Because I did NOTHING!! It wasn’t true!
I would be punish if I did anything or defended myself- to be honest even if I wasn’t doing anything; I spent 95% of one of my school years with no break or lunch times & I had to sit on the floor next to my teachers desk, while everyone else looked down on me- due to 2 weeks into that year she heard someone laugh, during art, & blamed me; then I never got the privilege of a chair or desk again. That’s until I went on a 3 month hunger strike half way through the year & the headteacher let me sit in his office so I could have lunch. I was also actively humiliated by teachers who would make all the kids join in & laugh at me. When I was jumped by several people at 12 (15-16 yr olds) they were going to permanently kick me out of school (now I know the reason I manage to defend myself is due to that “disabled strength” 😅). My Mum threatened to go to the papers & I was allowed to stay in school. I’ve lost count how many times they banned my Mum from my school because she turned up or called going mad (she did threaten to beat a few teachers up though😅). At 14 I contacted the governors of my school & the head of education asking for a meeting with them & some of the teachers I’d collected proof on- I had to go alone. Though I won it didn’t help, instead they found every reason to keep me out & send me home (it took me 3hrs to get home) & when I expressed to them that it was like they were “trying to ruin my education”, I was told “you don’t need to be here to get us good grades”. I was also told “children don’t have human rights”. I have over 40 different qualifications & was considered exceptionally gifted- which meant in the beginning I had to prove I wasn’t cheating by being monitored due to getting 99-100% in everything). My nickname in my family is Google. Now I think the 1 nice teacher 💚 was right- I intimidated them; but it’s still left me traumatised.
I also worked in a school (thought it might help me heal) for over 2 years & it was horrible because of the teachers! 2 were actually really nice to be fair but, for example, a couple at least would lie about me if I didn’t do what they wanted (despite it not being in my job description); I was also laid off without any notice, learned I had been unknowingly training my replacement & they deducted money from my last pay check, taking over half, & deleted my contract (which was online) before they did it- so I couldn’t check the terms; because I swore everything taken was included & I wouldn’t be charged but I had no proof (learnt a lesson).
I could tell you an abundance of horrendous stories of all I experienced in the education system. It was/is definitely a catalyst to all I struggle with today- on top of being late diagnosed.
I also have trauma from the medical field as I was chronically sick from near birth, due to multiple ailments (that I’ve spent many years healing in to adulthood), so I spent a lot of my earlier life being poked & prodded, in hospital (to the extent I had my own toys left there for when I would inevitably return); woken up to being stripped & st@bbed (without my permission) all throughout the night & day (even @ 13- so awkward waking up realising your b⭕️⭕️bies are out & there like 8+ medical students staring & touching you). Again, many stories… but if I’m honest there isn’t a area of life that was ever stable.
My life’s been so wild (you’d never know it though meeting me) that the few times I have told someone even 10% they don’t know how to handle it. I’ve had multiple counsellors, doctors & psychologists tell me “I’m pretty so focus on that”; to “come back when I know how to fix myself”; straight up start crying & saying “I don’t know how 5 adult would deal with that let alone a child”- then they leave me; say they need to refer me to someone more qualified or knowledgeable & it’s so far never happened. Turns out I got a couple diagnoses at 20-21 but didn’t find out about them until I was nearly 27! I could of been getting help that whole time! So here I am now, currently, trying to fight again.
Sorry, I didn’t intend for this to be so long, I just kind of started to ramble! Though I only wanted to reply briefly to explain I understand & it nice to come across someone else who understands (& is around the same age); but at the same time it also sucks to hear you’ve been through such trauma also & I’m truly sorry 💚
Don’t want to make this too long so I’m going to end it by wishing you, & all who may read this, a lovely day/night/life❣️
Peace ☮️ in & out ✌️
Dr. Mate, I am so glad I came across your channel. I have rheumatoid-lupus syndrome an auto immune disease. Stress is really a big factor in having flare up.
Only people that have overcome and sometimes healed the pain out of trauma, know this truth. For the others including the health sector, it is too difficult to understand 🙏❤
Thank you so much for taking the time watching the video! ✨💖🙏🥰
Those who know know. We have to listen to those with experience not those with the theories.
May God bless Dr.Mate and protect him always
💖🙏
Thank you for sharing this masterclass in how to advocate within a narcissistic society ✨️
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you found value in this video. bless you and take care always✨💖🙏
Yes we all had bad things happen in childhood, but some children had a very unloving cold parent or parents. Love heals things and neglect makes pain or trauma worse.
Thank you so much for sharing your point of view and for for taking the time watching the video!
Thank you for this interwiev, I have MS and my sister have autoimune disease de to c. Trauma, our father went through conc. Kamp in Slovenia, and his whole family, when Germans came. On the other side mother, much younger, malign. Narc. Who denied his war trauma, never allowed us to speak or express anything. My sister lives in London, she is very sick and treated horribly by med. Dr. Who does not believe in pain she goes through from rheumatic. Arthritis. Sorry for being so long. In case you do not know Slovenia belonged to ex Yugoslavia.The 6 republics separated after a recent war, complete health devastation, economic disaster and so on. Thank you. I listen to you always and so happy cause no dr. Understand any of this. They have 5 min. To listen along with their ignorance. It is such a relief to know you can explain and full of knowledge. All the best
.
There was more sense spoken in this 16 minutes than anything else I’ve watched this year on UA-cam.
Had i known about these lectures of Doctor Matè when I was younger, I would not be like this now, a broken, hurt and "defeated" older person .. but thank you Dr. Matè, i learned a lot.
I am hoping that we are never too old to start healing =)
Thank you for sharing your genuine thoughts with us. It is never too late to begin a path of self-discovery and healing. Dr. Matè's wisdom has influenced many lives, including yours, and is proof of the power of learning and growth. Remember that you are not alone in your challenges, and there is always the possibility of positive change. I wish you all the best on your journey ahead💕🙏
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with us. It's never too late to learn and grow. Remember, life is a journey, and you're never alone in it. We appreciate your presence here in our community, and we're here to support you. Sending you strength and positivity on your path of healing and self-discovery. 🌟💕
Planet is toxic. We live in toxic system.
It is true....better late than never. God Speed healing.
I am glad that a nurturing adult helps mitigate the likelihood of adult disease etc...we moved suddenly from one country to another when my daughter was 5 and I am sure it affected her emotionally...we tried to warn her in a short space of time that we had, but she is still upset when we talk about it. I hope we can help her overcome this experience
This interviewer is so unnecessarily combative, bravo on Dr.Maté's patience with this woman
Combative was the word that came to me throughout this as well x
Great Video and channel! I find your content very helpful! Blessings
Thank you so much for your kind words! More blessing to you 💖💖💖
Damn, she stressed me OUT. She's scary and triggering and he's so peaceful in his whole entire being. Wow ❤😅
Same here, my heart rate went up, it sounds like she is arguing with him. And he is calming always!
Very triggering. I wanted to scream at her.
💖

The man is so insightful and thinking about what I have learned in studying to become a counsellor plus my observations and experiences with others that I am in total agreement with Dr Gabor. The mind is linked to the body and thoughts affect feelings and impact your mental, emotional and physical health. So many people never get to discuss their trauma or pain and suffering so where is the release and outlet for that. A trouble shared can really be trouble halved. It takes time but it can help significantly and make a difference.
Thank you Garbor Mate
💕💖🙏
The interviewer is challenging Mate. That is a good thing. It allows him to be able to respond in a way that allays concerns from those who are cynical.
Brilliant!!! I am sobhappy Gabor had this interview with such a rigid hoast. She was like a methaphor of the rigid View and paradigma of the classical medical approach and grave Gabor the opportunity to come up with all needed arguments to convince even the most skeptical people that trauma, and consequently splitting, separating the mind from the body and supressing emotions ( in order tonprotect ourselves from the unbareable pain) can cause autoimune diseases. The actual medical approach treats the simptoms and not the real cause. And yes, considering how profitabile IT is, there is no interest in healing people for good.
Thank you very much for those kind words! Despite the host's behavior, I'm happy that you enjoyed Gabor's interview. It's important to have discussions that question standard medical assumptions, and Gabor certainly brought some eye-opening views to the discussion. You are completely correct that addressing the root causes of health concerns, such as trauma, is frequently disregarded in favor of symptom management. It's a complicated problem, but it's necessary that we keep raising awareness about it. Your viewpoint is greatly valued! 😊🌟thank you
I love you Mate because you’ve made my life a world a difference. In return I’m going to make a world a difference 🙏🏽
This interviewer is so skeptical and we need doctors in medical schools to learn what he knows
It did seem like she was trying to debate. 😅
thank you for sharing your thoughts 💖
thank you 💖
She was really pressing it- seemed very skeptical, which is a typical response from people when I share Dr Mate’s information. We have denied this evidence because we don’t believe that mind/body connection- no profit there…
Whenever we have to see a doctor or medical person we can ask if they've had a chance yet to listen to Dr Gabor Mate lectures or have they read his books yet? =)
Wow! I have learned so much from this interview as a survivor of childhood abuse.
Thank you so much for your kind words and for for taking the time watching the video! ❤️💖
This lady is asking very good question so that everyone understands this things completely ....
Beautiful👌💐😊After all Dr Is a Jew that's why so compassionate and Intelligent. Also he exposed western medicine not profound. Mind body not different this is Bhartiya philosophy. So he understood much better
Thank you. Childhood trauma adulthood me effect karta hai. Or agar Stress hota hai to us stress se Immune system bigadta hai. 👍👍😊thanks Doctor for clearing my Thinking.😊😊❤👌💐
Thank you very very much for sharing your thoughts about this topic and for taking the time watching the video! 💖🙏
Me listening to this with Graves disease, Complex-PTSD and Cluster C & B personality disorder traits. All diagnosed and under treatment/therapy.
Thank you for sharing this, and wow...the interviewer! I know a lot of people that seem to feel personally threatened by what he is saying, and her defensive aggression shows that she's not willing to listen to anything he says, and probably speaks of her own unresolved 'stuff'. Desperately sad that much of the medical profession and even therapists are the same. Nadine Burke Harris does a wonderful TED talk on childhood trauma and health consequence, well worth a watch on youtube.
Thank you and all respect to Dr. GABOR ❤❤❤❤
@yourinnerchildmatters Dr. Maté what is written at the end of the video? Your recovery starts with restoring ... Thanks for your explaination. I'm a woman diagnozed MS in 2019 complicated childhood, learned rather to be quiet than express emotions. Cortisol logically doesn't worked, other medicins i've stopped after 3 years. I learned to reduce / deal better with stress, started yoga and meditation. I'm free of new symptomes since 5 years. All the best for you!
Loved how he would answer her very belligerent questions. I do understand though that that is what her listeners would want to know. Love this guy. He's so gifted in his delivery of this information and I enjoy his calm delivery.
My thoughts exactly❤️💖🙏
Love this! Thank You!💙🙏
You are so welcome 💖
I LOVE Dr Mate’ he’s simply the best ✨❣️✨
I agree with him 100%. I have come to the same conclusion in my practice. I can now almost always predict the pattern between trauma and multiple co-morbidities.
I developed fibromyalgia two months after being sexually assault. I remember when i was being sexually assaulted, my body shot down. I couldn't move or think. It's like my mind was dissociating from my body. After the abuse, I've never addressed the issue. I moved on with my life, acted like nothing happened. Until i started to get sick 2 months later.
I'm very sorry to hear about your suffering and the subsequent onset of fibromyalgia. It's clear that you've been through a challenging journey, and I want to thank you for sharing it with us. Acknowledging and processing such pain is difficult, but your willingness to open out is a courageous step in the right path. I hope you are receiving the help and treatment you needed to manage your fibromyalgia and deal with the emotional fallout from the painful experienced. Remember that it is never too late to seek help and healing. Your well-being is important, and your experience may encourage others who are going through similar difficulties. Please know that you are not alone, and that there are individuals that are interested in your journey. This community is here for you if you ever want to share more or need someone to talk to. Take care of yourself and be kind with yourself. Sending you lots of positive thoughts and virtual hugs,💖🌻💕🤗
I also developed fibromyalgia in my early thirties. I was going through abuse when it developed. A warmer climate helped me for many years.
@@lindamoses3697 me too. When i go to a hot country, all my pain disappeared. But when it's cold, I flare up
"If You Deal With That Pain You Can Heal Your Addiction."
LORD, PLEASE HELP US🙏
Thank you so much Your Inner Child Matters/Gabor for posting this. I'm not someone to comment on posts but just felt compelled with this.
I live in Scotland and the interviewer's attitude is representative of so many here, especially those of a certain generation. (And we wonder why they're such a drug problem). I have saved this to show to skeptical people as I hope being able to watch someone being interviewed by a person demonstrating their own beliefs may help with hearing the message. Let's see. It may be the impact the interviewer was going for.
Dr Gabor Mate is honestly one of my favourite people in the world. Please don't stop delivering your vital message. I found When the Body Says No particularly helpful.
sra periodista se pone a la defensiva?
Doctor Mate es usted maravilloso
me ha subido el cortisol esta mujer
I appreciate your support and taking the time to comment. It means a lot to me!
Gracias igualmente...desde españa
Para mi tambien significa mucho.Que personas talentosas como usted inviten a otras personas talentosas como el Doctor Mate@@yourinnerchildmatters
I have MS. I'm trying to get rid of it! I.had various trauma.
Hi there! 🌟thank you very much for sharing your journey with us. I'm really sorry to hear about your struggles with MS and the various traumas you've faced. Remember, you're not alone in this. It takes a lot of strength to open up, and I'm sending you positive vibes and support as you work towards overcoming these challenges. Take it one step at a time, and know that your UA-cam community is here for you. 💪🌟 bless you and take care❤️💖🙏
I really like these videos with Dr Mate, I had a traumatic childhood being autistic and abused by a narc mother, I have now been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and it has taken years for this diagnosis, for multiple reasons but having a diagnosis of C-PTSD should have been a massive sign. Lastly, can you not add captions to your videos please? I find it very difficult to understand/process what is happening on screen and hearing what is being said. The option to turn on/off subtitles should be available to everyone & is a feature on youtube. Thank you!
Dr. Mate changed my life. I'm so thankful for him. Well-wishes to you, Jae.
And, as for the captions in the video, not only are they tacky and distracting, whoever transcribed them made multiple mistakes when doing so.
Gabor Mate is the best! Love him!
Thanks for your videos, please sort out the lip sync problems.
Noted! thank you so much 💖💖💖
Simply listen to it, Karen.
A fantastic interview. The questions asked were very sensible and Dr Gabor answered them calmly, based on evidence and practically. Thank you 🙏
Thank you very much for your kind words! We're glad you appreciated the interview and found Dr. Gabor's responses informative. We really appreciate your support and desire to provide you with more valuable content in the future. 🙏 💖
Excellent explanation ❤
Thank you! 🙂
He is totally right!
I believe every bit of it. This is someone with common sense right there.! I have been there and I know the relations of what he is saying. It is 100%true.
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts about this topic and for taking the time watching the video!✨💖🙏
Thank you Doctor G…. You are a Gift to all, this is Powerful, and I believe filled with truth. You’re a Beautiful Human Being filled with Compassion Knowledge and Insight…*Compassion has the Gift to Heal* thank you, very a Grateful ❤
Wow, thank you for watching 💖
Wow! She was a real tough nut to crack.. wonder where she got her scepticism and her harsh view from?
Childhood maybe ??
I applaud you Gabor! ❤
I think nothing was wrong with the interviewer, she just asked questions about what is her job and we got the answers,,,, good answers. Thanks
💖🙏
Anyone know how to get rid of stress hives . I'm drove nuts.
If you'd love to see this interviewer meet her match, I suggest you watch Cathy Newman interview Jordan Peterson. Epic interview!
thank you ❤️
Her aggressive attitude is just unbelievable
Thank you so much for taking the time watching the video! ✨💖🙏
Excellent interviewer. Was actively listening, critically and skeptically questioning everything and didn't have her own agenda. This is how everybody on a news panel should be treated.
💖🙏thanks for sharing your insights about this 💖🙏
@@yourinnerchildmatters Legend has it, this is the interviewer personal account 😂
Thank you 🎩🙏🤗
You are so welcome
Sorry for the ignorance of Scotland Gabor!.
💕🙏
Nobody in Scotland is responsible for Sally's interview style but Sally and her producer.
She definately goofed today with the chosen tone!
All the folk here in Scotland I know who have read Gabor's books and listened to his many talks and interviews hold him in very high regard. I hope too that these ideas are now reaching the ears of our doctors!
Wow his answers were very expansive to her limited perspective…
thanks for watching 💖🌺
Radhe radhe 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Dr Jean-Martin Charcot, the "founder of modern neurology", who worked with patients suffering from multiple sclerosis wrote that M.S. is caused by "long term vexation and grief". I have M.S. and do see how this might very well be the case. Inflammation have different origins including environmental. I was diagnosed in 2020, a year when stress was prevalent and I'd also experienced 2 life experiences I would call highly stressful or traumatic in the couple of years preceding that. Not to mention years of chronic stress over a confusing abusive climate. And a few ACEs. Some doctors know about these interactions but many don't and none get trained on these at this stage.
She was doing a disservice by asking her questions in a combative and problematic way. You could be curious and ask for information respectfully and in a professional way. I do appreciate his demeanor and approach.
Thank you so much for taking the time watching the video! ✨💖🙏
Wow everything he said 100%
I really worried about children of Gaza facing cruelty for decades
Thank you very much for sharing your concern about the children in Gaza. It's truly heartbreaking to see what they've endured. We must continue to raise awareness and support any initiatives that aim to bring peace and stability to this region. Together, we can make a difference. 💙🕊️ 💕🙏
You're right doctor. this is systémique failure. GP have almost no training in trauma or nutrition.
Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts about this topic and for taking the time watching the video🙏🥰
I don't understand why this interviewer was so combative and kept hyperbolising what he said.
I'm currently experiencing an autoimmune flareup, and this video has opened my eyes to how I have been struggling with stress and self view at the moment. A lot of things lately have brought up issues related to my childhood trauma and the past few months have seen me experience back to back symptoms - the latest being autoimmune hives which usually are gone within a week or two max but have been sticking around. Funnily enough, now that I think about it, I had a couple days where I did manage to decrease my stress and they started to clear up but they came back with a vengeance when it spiked again.
This discussion also makes me wonder about the link between autoimmune conditions and gender. It's well known that they are more prevalent in women, and I do wonder if the ways that women internalise stress and suppress emotions, and especially seem more inclined to result to people pleasing, is why the rates are so much higher. As opposed to men who might find other ways to let out their negative emotions, which may also be harmful but not so much suppressive (I'm thinking physical violence, etc.)
Even without diving into research, it doesn't take much to consider these things and see that the link he's talking about is obviously plausible.
Thank you so much for taking the time watching the video! ✨💖🙏
What is with this interviewer? We must blame and shame for their "bad choices'? How does that help anyone? Appreciate Dr. Mate's responses. If more folks understood this the world could be a much more compassionate, kind and pleasant place.
Very true, thank you so much for watching and sharing your thoughts 💖💕🤗
Thank u❤
You're welcome 😊thank you too
Had a traumatic young life.
Got shingles at the age of 34
Am 60 now still recurring shingles.
Also had hyperthyroidism , thyroid eye disease culminating in a full thyroidectomy.
Any ideas anyone ?
I'm sorry to hear about your difficulties, and I appreciate you sharing your story with us. You've clearly been through a lot, and I can only imagine how difficult it must have been. Recurrent shingles and thyroid problems are not easy to deal with. First and foremost, it is important that you keep close communication with your healthcare professional in order to manage chronic health concerns. They are able to provide you specific advice and treatment alternatives to help you live a better life. In addition to medical therapy, I would suggest that you look into holistic alternatives to supplement your treatment, such as stress reduction techniques, a well-balanced diet, and being physically active to the best of your abilities. Connecting with support groups or online communities where you can discover empathy, advice, and shared experiences from people who have had similar issues may also be helpful. Remember that you are not alone on this journey, and there are others who are concerned about your well-being. Keep your spirits up, and please share any updates or questions you may have along the process. We are here to help you.💕
Obviously the interviewer has no experience with trauma. Her attacks on the research that never ends is surprising.
thank you for watching 💖
Those who choose to remain unconscious are always severely threatened by the truth. Sad but true.
@@laurelcurley3242truth. I think it’s a way to stay in denial about the mistakes their parents made or they themselves made with their own children. It can feel like you are betraying your family and some religious dogma cements that, as well as the knowledge that generally being a parent requires many sacrifices and we are all human. Why not get curious and willing to learn? Because it’s easier and less comfortable not to.
No, I think she's very conscious of what she's doing. You have to understand, anything that promotes human health and well being, is NOT what the pharmaceutical companies want expressed. And you'd be surprised at how much of mainstream media is funded by big pharma.
agree

I have done a lot to eliminate stressors from my life over the last years. It has been very good for my health; digestion problems and immune problems have almost disappeared. I have also become very alert and sensitive to new stressors, so now even the hostile and needlessly critical style of the host (even though it may be her journalistic style?) gives me sweat, muscle tension and stomach pain…. 😳
Amazing man ...
Thanks a lot for watching 🙏
This interviewer is a piece of work… thank god she let him reply without interrupting
I agree it probably plays a part though i have fibromyalgia and m.e and my mental health problems have come back since it started 6 years ago its one of many factors i was also in a bad car accident with broken bones and that really kicied it all off after i recovered a few years later all hell broke loose basically....🙄
WOW!!! This chick needs a good proctologist to remove that great big stick. Sounds like she feels threatened and intimidated by the truth and compassionate raw honesty that likely applies to her as much as to the rest of us. Good grief, I couldn't believe how disrespectful, dismissive, and downright biyotchy she was being. Kind of makes me wonder how stressed out her kids, partner, family are, if she has any. Sheesh, woman, get some therapy on being part of human-kind and maybe take a good, long look in the mirror. Geez. Kudos to Dr. Mate for being so truly and genuinely authentically human and kind to her while untwisting her words and addressing her crap. You're a great man and she, well sadly, she brings great shame to the word 'woman'.
Well said. I would guess that you are right on about her being affected herself. It takes a brave person to be willing to get curious rather than stay in denial.
thank you for sharing your thoughts, very much appreciated❤️💖
❤️🤗
However - we could look at the interview as an opportunity for Dr Mate to explain more clearly the mind/body connection- he does it so well that other skeptics listening will benefit too…
This interviewer is so aggressive and argumentative! Talk about a closed-minded individual. Everything is “but, but…”
She literally puts words in his mouth and argues points that he didn’t even make.
thank you so much for sharing your thoughts, 💖💖💖
See my comment above. I agree and compared to the hateful stuff that was spewed at Gabor by people in England she was tame.
She probably has someone telling her stuff in her ears, the journalist profession is a lot of provocation, to get a reaction out of you, to nake headlines, spice things up, to create a debate or push an agenda...very stupid ofc lol
Why not ask in order to understand more or learn more?
In u.k. they take things very very seriously as well, this is typical british way of interrogating, it very blunt & square, formal
💕
❤️💖 🙏
I can't find this interviewers name or where she is from? Any idea?

Thank you for sharing your thoughts
Is there any actual solid evidence for this in relation to autominne disease.
