Being a highly sensitive person and having a good long term memory in a family with emotionally negligent parents who drank too much and too often made my life a challenge. The Drama of the gifted child helped me a lot to understand myself and my children. A retreat with Gabor in early 2022 helped the many pieces of my life and therapy over the years fall into place.
@@ayamood4447 it was an online retreat given by an organization called SAND who produced the film The Wisdom of Trauma. I believe they only ran the one retreat so I just got lucky…and was willing to invest the money because I had followed him as he wrote his books and as he a guest columnist for Canada’s national newspaper. I highly recommend watching the film. Do a google search with title and SAND and you should find it.
I'm so glad to hear that "The Drama of the gifted child" and the retreat with Gabor helped you find clarity and healing in your life. It's wonderful when we find resources that resonate with us and bring about positive change.
Gabor Mate’ on his website - has a course made for self - study - and it is not terribly expensive - on March 2nd there is going to be an information session with his colleague about the programs he offers . I do dare say , it would be supportive of our journeys to work with a trained therapist or paractitioner of this method - if possible . Best wishes !
I never saw my own sensitivity as a "gift" (more like a curse, bc it's so much for me to handle) or in the way Dr. Maté describes it. it really resonates and touched me deeply. Thank you for sharing this.
I totally understand! It can be tough, but remember that you're not alone. We all have our ups and downs, but keep pushing forward and you'll see progress!
Im highly sensitive I suffered à lot and still suffer I feel everything its sometimes à gift and sometimes à curse but im happy that there are people like me so we can understand each other. I spent 37 years of isolation because of that
Thank you for sharing your beliefs! It's great to know that there are others who understand and appreciate the connection between sensitivity and creativity. Sensitivity and creativity often go hand in hand, as being in touch with your emotions allows you to express yourself in unique and imaginative ways❤️💖
Thank you so much for watching and sharing your thoughts! It means a lot to know that my video resonated with you and captured the emotions you experience. Stay strong and keep pushing through!
I know a child who is extremely sensitive to pain, he is hypersensitive he has been diagnosed on the high spectrum of autism. And yes he is highly creative, extremely creative with an incredible imagination. It’s true - sensitive people feel pain more and they are the highly creative ones. It’s a blessing and a curse, a paradox.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. 💖 It’s so true that sensitive people feel things deeply, and their creativity is truly amazing! It can be a blessing and a challenge. I appreciate you bringing this perspective to the conversation.
I loved this video. I feel exactly like that. The more I get into my recovery from PTSD, the more I turn into the arts -- poetry-art-theatre-comedy- to heal, to feel, to find me and it feels great. My addiction was angry, sugar, avoiding people (isolation). Now I Have to heal by social skills and find a way to connect better with others. Thanks for airing this interivew and thanks Gabor Mate for your honesty.
Thank you so much for sharing your story and for your kind words. I’m really glad the video resonated with you. It’s inspiring to hear how you’re using art and creativity to heal and grow. Recovery is a journey, and it sounds like you’re on a beautiful path. Wishing you all the best as you continue to connect and heal. Take care! 😊
When I began to understand the difficulties of trauma, I began to understand my parents and their parents too. To understand everything related to evolution and our lives in the world. Thats the challenge for truly sensitive people and you can be a legacy and culmination of a lot of subconscious things absorbed into your patterns early on. Habits are hard hard walls sometimes when they are woven subconsciously across your potential partly by the intractable pains of existence. Sometimes just wanting to be heard and accepted and not always misunderstood is a symptom of the deep habit of understanding others too much. ❤
Thank you Dr Gabe mate I loved your answer at the end about the alcoholic mother. This is spot on so many families want to keep the addict in the scapegoat role so they don’t have to look at themselves.
Hsp, gifted, creative, extroverted, curious, adventurous. insightful as a young, very young child, in a family with talented and damaged parents. I learned to hide my gifts and became the Invisible Child. Most of my life has been devoted to overcoming my childhood of endless putdowns and criticisms and neglect. Through AA and the 12 Step programme I've recovered a lot of my original self and developed a better view of myself and made a lot of peace. Now I am more introverted when alone and still extroverted when with people. I accept myself better and nurture myself. Still curious and love learning new things, and I'm pretty grounded. Done some forgiving too, of myself and others. 77 now and embracing old age as just another stage of life. And now I can admit that having an extremely precocious child in the family could be very hard work. Oh, the endless questions! Lol!
Thank you so much for sharing your story with such honesty and insight. It sounds like you've come a long way in your journey, embracing both the challenges and the growth. It's wonderful to hear that you've found peace and acceptance within yourself. Your curiosity, resilience, and openness are truly inspiring. Embracing each stage of life with grace is a beautiful thing, and I’m sure your story will resonate with many. Wishing you continued strength and joy in this journey of life. Take care! 😊❤
Thanks for the video. Interesting point about shaman's usually being the sensitives of the tribe. That's me..... I found out after 4 decades of staggering about painfully and rudderless in the darkness. Turns out I'm an innate spiritual healer, best spiritual gift ever once you realise. Thanks Gabor Mate and team, love your videos. xxx

Another insightful video 😊My EX husband used to call me Miss Sensitive! Because of all the information I have gained from your books and videos I am aware of this now. I can protect myself. Pity I didn’t know this when I was younger 🙄
Thank you so much for your kind words and for being a part of my community. I'm happy to hear that my content has been helpful to you. Keep growing and protecting yourself! take care always
You don’t prevent the trauma, you ride it and GROW. With much adversity comes much strength. How can beauty and greatness come through the gifts without struggle and adversity? It’s actually incredibly beautiful. My experience being hsp with a deep history of it throughout my family - highly gifted, and still working out in my 40’s how to use it to bless others. With the added stress, if not identity shaping severe child sexual abuse that I still have no memory of, but has caused me to dissociate throughout my childhood and adult life. So much so that I never recognized the obvious signs of the abuse. Because of the adversity, I have a greater scope for the big picture. And I will trust the process as it unfolds.
Thank you for sharing your experience so openly and honestly. Your strength and resilience are truly inspiring. It's incredible how you have embraced your journey, with all its challenges, to find growth and beauty. Your story reminds us that even through the darkest times, there can be light and hope. Keep trusting the process and using your gifts to bless others. Your courage and wisdom are a beacon for many. Sending you love and support on your continued journey.

if we are going to use the term "highly sensitive person" i think it is important to also say WHY one is highly sensitive. because there is a why. no one is born sensitive like a snowflake without a cause. it is either due to physical illness, serious mental illness, autism, or developed trauma. otherwise this "highly sensitive" thing has not meaning. you could say a person who has anxiety might be highly sensitive, but that's not the correct term oh this self proclaimed title. i think A LOT of people don't realize where this term comes from. it comes from a a female author who is autistic. ASP. but she rejected that label and didn't want to have that diagnosis, despite having it - and she renamed it HSP. so now, being highly sensitive - in the way that is meant for people on the spectrum, has now become a term, that ANY person can use for any little reason they personally feel is the reason they are sensitive. which is a really big problem, :) because a lot the symptoms of being "highly sensitive" are autistic/schizotypal/schizophrenic symptoms. if you look deeper into it, a lot of people might realize they are actually on the spectrum. as these symptoms are KEY indicators of it. we are all sensitive souls, and women especially, we can be so soft and delicate and feel so much but it is important to use correct language, because this term is getting way too out of hand used by so many who wants the label of being sensitive, but not the label of being on the spectrum. and that's really unfortunate.
I think I have that book...but I never finished reading it. Who is the author? So I can check if it's not only a similar title... searching Edit: Yes, it's Alice Miller. I always wanted to finish the book or start over. It's really intense and I got it during my first ever therapy session that wasn't just an hour. Everyone there suddenly read that book, and so I ask to read a page or two and after that I decided to buy it right away. Half way through I was too...my brain was too full. Too much new information to be processed.😅 I should give it a try again
Alice Miller is the author of the book you're referring to. It's great that you want to give it another try! It's always worth revisiting a book that resonates with you. bless you
Is this video ONLY being watched by highly sensitive people (me included). Because no one in my life understands what it's like being one, or care to learn
