Dr. Gabor Maté on "The Myth of Normal," Healing in a Toxic Culture & How Capitalism Fuels Addiction
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 лис 2022
- In an extended interview, acclaimed physician and author Dr. Gabor Maté discusses his new book, "The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness, and Healing in a Toxic Culture." "The very values of a society are traumatizing for a lot of people," says Maté, who argues in his book that "psychological trauma, woundedness, underlies much of what we call disease." He says healing requires a reconnection between the mind and the body, which can be achieved through cultivating a sense of community, meaning, belonging and purpose. Maté also discusses how the healthcare system has harmfully promoted the "mechanization of birth," how the lack of social services for parents has led to "a massive abandonment of infants," and how capitalism has fueled addiction and the rise of youth suicide rates.

Dr. Matè has helped me so much in my life.. I spent a year in county jail and read “in the realm of hungry ghosts”. His teachings resonate so much within my own life.
thank you for not being broken by the 'justice' system.
you made some really good decisions, if you are here saying that.
@@donHooligan I’ve grown and ripened on the Paiute-Shoshone reservation, so his references to indigenous communities speaks to home.. I’ll listen to the same message he tells and learn something each time.
I suffer from addiction and depression. Dr. Mate is a real treasure.
Holding space for you Ernst.
@@skyeblu817 I'd like u to know how useful I find this comment to be. I've shared it with another person who I guess will also find it "hits the spot". Thank you for it👍
babe ?
That’s condescending in itself
Man needs Jesus
You have NO authority to give this useless advice except what you gave yourself - perpetrated by Satan
Mankind’s issues go back to ‘in the beginning’
SELF governing
God told to warn what would happen if they didn’t listen to Him
the truth is God
Only He is good
Love.
Talking about addiction, I think this is timely that you posted this while I'm on a Gabor Maté binge. I can't afford a psychiatrist, psychologist or other therapist, so this man has really helped me a great deal to see my self, my life and how why/how I'm still suffering from past events, as well as some ways to heal to some level.
Gabor should investigate why his son Aaron is addicted to Fascist Conspiracy Theories 🤭
Is there no charities in your area you could go to for therapy?
There are some low cost online therapy providers who might be options for you. Hope the healing proceeds well.
May you all find truth and healing. EACH HAS THEIR WAYS. Happy Holidays.❤️
@@GrimLocke161 zionist conspiracy thoeries and wtc7 does that to anyone
He is so compassionate and intelligent in how he breaks down this subject. As a survivor of multiple childhood abuses, I have always had difficulty explaining myself. He helps me understand my mental state and why I am who I am.
Thank you Dr.
It's funny how far his son Aaron has fallen from the tree 😏
You are fortunate as I am. May all find their own way for health and healing. HAPPY HOLIDAYS ❤️
@@GrimLocke161 What is the value of a troll? Nothing, worthless, and angry at everyone. You are poor in spirit and intellect. Stay away from other humans because you are toxic and can only cause more harm. Useless af.
@@Picnuts Tell that to the man in the mirror, "picnuts," and say hi to Yevgeny Prigogzhin for me. 😉
If we pay attention to trauma, we have to pay attention to narcissistic abuse, and that's not something the narcissists who run our society want.
My therapist introduced me to Dr. Mate. Proof she's a keeper.

Thank you Amy, for having Dr. Mate Garbor, have listened to him for a while. He has helped me in my life, as long as millions of others. A compassionate , intelligent man. Happy Thanksgiving on this day to all. RESPECTFULLY ✨️
This man makes so much sense. Im getting his book. Democracy Now! Is a much needed news broadcast. And I'm still asking...why don't we get Democracy Now on PBS anymore here in Idaho? Broadening too many minds? I'll bet.
Just for reference, Democracy Now is live, every weekday at 8AM. And they stream the show live on their website, for free. And they usually upload the video clips from each show to UA-cam by noon each day. :)
Corporate owned pbs and npr is why
PBS is funded largely by “member stations”, largely for profit corporations under right wing ownership now- the result of decades of hard work on their part to take over the public broadcast network.
Makes the continued public funding of PBS now quite repugnant.
Thank goodness for Giving me a Quick Recovery From Diabetes and / Arthritis Disease, Thank you Drdodoyi On UA-cam.,,.
So i cant see any specific reference to it but it seems they have had some issues with republicans trying to defund them because they are too left wing citing a handful of programs that had a lesbian (god forbid) encouraged conversation about white priveledge (never speak about that!) And so i suspect because it is considered to be very left wing and also is available freely on other platforms that most have acsess to they decided it best to not have too many lefty programs on there. Im just guessing. But if you want to see it back on air you can write to pbs and maybe create a petition to have it put back on your local station. As a public tv station they ahould serve both right wing and left wing issues or programmes. The right wing of course want to keep it purely right wing and not see anything ever that might burst their bubbles. But if it is to remain a public braodcaster then it should be there to serve the public. Although a lot of the funding is not from government especially the programmes being made whicha re fundned by colleges it looks like. It might also just be a scheduling issue or they have their own news prgramme they want to promote. Who knows.
He's an example of an enlightened human being
Thank you .♥️
His son Aaron is the exact opposite of the healer, and it breaks my heart.
'Hurt people hurt people' break the cycle with support, help, community and compassion.

Hearing this was life changing!
You have my sincere gratitude as it permits me to review my own life
I’ve never subjected myself to psychoanalysis, always knowing I probably should for what my childhood left me with, kidnapped at 2 by the quite literal evil stepmother just for starters.
And now I don’t need to! Not that I didn’t understand what’s going on with me, I’ve spent my life self analyzing lol so I do know what’s up.
But what I just got from Gabor was both validation and a much more thorough understanding.
Most excellent!
Welcome to a new world.😊Dr. Mate changed my life some years ago, too. He helped me to comprehend my trauma and the trauma of the people who inflicted trauma upon me. The most important thing I learned from him is how the wealthy-class causes the traumas of the working-class.
Again, welcome to a new world.😊
oh and what a life, no doubt.

Being a survivor of childhood trauma I feel fortunate that I’ve known these facts for a very long time due to all the reading and workshops I’ve done on my own since the early 90s. When I’m new to a medical doctor I tell them I come from a trauma background. I try to educate them on my own how this has a huge impact on our health. It is very crucial that everyone examines their own family of origin dynamics so that you can consciously face any trauma we have experienced and then proactively work on a recovery process on ourselves. This will have a great impact on preventing illness in our physical health.
Me too
I've been working on my trauma for years. There's mate, Richard Schwartz, Pete walker is a gem I do endr and ifs. I'm developing a rich sense of self and a huge spiritual connection
I started in the 80s but really healed with all the trauma work. Our country is spiritually bankrupt and it's not just the internet. The American family has fallen apart. If you have a mother and father that love eachother and their kids it's a big deal.
@@urbansetter1 The financialised economic system and corporatisation itself will corrupt a community and society; to the point where its so unfamiliar and alien; that it will traumatise all humans who grow up in it; some may still function; but depression and narcissism will become the norm. Like all life; We are a product of our environment.
How can you educate a doctor on anything anymore when they can’t even get past their own ego to provide decent treatment?!
The younger they are the larger the ego, I find it rather impossible to tell them anything now. Doctors half my age, too busy insulting me by treating me like an ignorant child to listen.

And our society is getting even way more toxic with social media.
Fasho.
I use it to try and educate/spread knowledge to my. FB. friends ....
As they planned…
We can refuse to participate. We *are* society, and if we refuse to participate in the toxic parts of social media, it loses it's grip.
@@advocacynaccountablity Totally, I have been out of facebook, for about 2 years already, I have never used tweeter and I will never use tiktok. Is like cigarettes or coca cola, poison crap, that are around but you choose not to consume them. The difficult part is, as most are addicted to social media, I do not know what my friends are doing as they do not reach individually anymore, so when I contact them directly, I have to remember them that I'm not updated to their life because I do not use social media, I do not see photos, news, etc. It's difficult when most people around you are behaving like crack addicts.

Dr. Mate, you are one of my True Heroes.
It's so easy just to get annoyed at people with problems. We have a myriad of ways of saying "sort yourself out!". When you realise people are traumatized, you have a lot more compassion. You never really know what people have gone through. Actually often I don't think you realise what you yourself have gone through. It's only recently that I've begun to look back at the violence and trivialising of problems I underwent as a child, and better understand why I was so messed up. These things are so normal that we don't even realise they're wrong. Funnily enough, it's also allowed me to understand my parents' behaviour, reflecting that they were brought up in a similar way. We need to sort ourselves out to help other people.
“Stay positive!”
“Don’t stress!”
Our society has developed a zero tolerance policy toward disharmony or negative emotions of any kind.
Exactly why we’re headed off the climate cliff full speed ahead with a smile.
“Everything will be just fine!”
Thank goodness for Giving me a Quick Recovery From Diabetes and / Arthritis Disease, Thank you Drdodoyi On UA-cam.,,.
Have you read " thou shall not be aware"..I can't remember the authors name..
How beautifully said.I was looking for the words to explain how despite loving our children we dont always do things we are proud of or we are in the moment when we were being traumatized. You are 100% percent right we dont realize what was going on wasn't normal our parents experienced the same thing. Throw in alcholism ,trying to figure how to feed 5kids without enough money at times just to mention a few,its a wonder we all ever survived. I loved my parents and my sisters and brothers. I know for a fact I would not be who I am today or would ever have been able to raise 3 children when my husband left. I have been told I have tremendous coping skills . Again beautifully said. You said it all ,thank you.
This man understands that we are fundamentally all apart of the same community.
If the community is damaged, sick, or fractured......so too are it’s individual members.
This is why I say capitalism is literally killing us. Food and healthcare should be focused on healing, instead it’s based around a “for profit” motive. Which is neither human nor natural. 🙏

One of my favorite parts of being a parent of a baby was when my girls would wake up and I would go pick them up, sit them down on my left arm with their back against my chest and my right arm across their's and just walk around the house/warm a bottle and feed them. It worked really well as far as getting them back to sleep. I get the feeling many parents treat being one as a chore and want it to be as little of a burden on them as possible. That is also usually coupled with some sort of expectation that their child then owes them for not letting them die. If anything a parent owes the child. They didn't ask to be in this BS world. We chose for them even if it wasn't planned or if it "ruined" their career etc., that's on the parent!! I couldn't imagine just leaving them there to eventually give up on receiving the comfort their instincts are telling them they need and just pass back out. They are not a puppy in their kennel for being bad, there are better ways to deal with that even. The acceptance of half assed, do as little as possible and still recive "reward" as a lifestyle is not only very sad, it is dangerous! Especially on a long timeline. The effects will compound and grow exponentially....and have already begun to. I have a strong feeling this guy is spot on!
I totally agree hun I was the same with my daughter & our bond is so strong. X I thought I would have it all figured out by now, I really did. The more I learn about WEF, Who & the self appointed twisted evil maniacs that run these various ABC agencies the more horrified I become. X
I breastfed my babies. I could put them right into the bed with me.
He is.

Might be worth looking at the same compassion for the puppy too.. my sister is a wolf and dog behaviour 'person', she tells me that there is no such thing as 'naughty' when you understand the needs of the dog...🥰
Life is about learning to survive the nightmare we call childhood, why do we insist that the baby be taken away from the mother after childbirth and put in a room with other crying babies?
the first day of school is an insane tradition.
all those crying, confused kids....
all those crying, confused adults...
i'm "supposed to" do something completely unnatural....Mammon dictates this...i must comply or be an outcast.
Just figured out why my 7 year old daughter panicks when we leave her with friends, family, or even in her own room. When she was born they ripped her away and didn't let us see her for 3 days in the hospital! She is afraid of being abandoned. Thanks Modern medicine.
@Jamal Zaggout.......But she and you can heal together knowing what you know now. Together you can reaffirm that love and hold each other tightly. To forgive yourselves and to recognize your trauma so that you can change how it effects you.
You must love yourself going forward and always hold your loved ones close. 🙏
@@donHooliganI still remember that day!
I tell you what else I remember quite well, and thats HS. Im 38, a racial minority, with a working class background. I've lived my fair share of life since then, but I don't miss those high school days whatsoever! Some people have nostalgia for HS, but I have no warm feelings for it. I dropped out after my tenth grade year, and I can't say I regret it!
I was fortunate to have been reered and raised by 2 wonderful people. I also have the ability to remember moments as a small child even one as a baby being nursed by my mother. I can attest to how it has impacted my life. One particular memory I have, is of my father telling us not to take our problems out on our brothers and sisters.
From then on, it has challenged me to not only think about my reactions to take a step back and wonder what motivates me in everyday conversation, but also think about those who may have their own demons they're dealing with and listen intently to what and more importantly, why they're saying what they're saying. Patience and understanding, I have come to realize, is harder and more time consuming in this day and age of the abundance of social media and making real connections with people. But, it still proves to be a very important aspect to our own growth in understanding ourselves and coming closer to an inner peace.
I wish I had parents like yours. You were very blessed and sounds like they were too.
thank you for communicating what you've come to realize Dr Maté, thank you for being consistent, your message has always resonated with me but I haven't always been able to click with your messaging, but you've pushed on, and what you're breathing into the collective awareness is so healing!

Thanks for this interview. I first heard Gabor being interviewed by Tim Ferris and it was both a relief and also exciting. His work and willingness to speak had helped me greatly. His perspective was badly lacking in the wider conversation but he also too absolute. There are significant genetic aspects to trauma including ASD and the PDs. ADHD for eg is predicted by genetics to the same extent as height. But Gabor is I think the first person to properly discuss the nurture side in a way that I could understand.
Thank goodness for Giving me a Quick Recovery From Diabetes and / Arthritis Disease, Thank you Drdodoyi On UA-cam.,,.
Brilliant, I will look for the book and documentary. Thank you Dr.
It’s still mind boggling to me how he went from an angry father who used to hit his 3 year old son, to someone who is so self aware sensitive to the world and cares deeply about children.
Three year old!?!? WTF
Yeah I forget the name of the video where he said it, but it was something about how his son’s behaviors used to trigger his flght or flight reaction. Like one time his son was throwing a fit and refused to sing happy birthday so he slapped him.
Thank goodness for Giving me a Quick Recovery From Diabetes and / Arthritis Disease, Thank you Drdodoyi On UA-cam.,,.
@@laurenj6771 Now that's a different story from "he used to hit his 3 year old child" you wrote above.
He slapped him once and regretting it til today.
@@Fx_- According to what he said, his son angered him at that particular time and he slapped him.
He also said he was reactive, by the way.
But he didn't say he was reactive by nature and he used to hit the kids. If he is honest about his behaviour and that one occasion, I feel, he would admit if this was regular.
As William Faulkner said, “The past is never dead. It is not even past”. Trauma lives in our brains and bodies forever. It is a risk factor for fibromyalgia, which the therapist who taught me CBT said it seems like a physical manifestation of hyper-vigilance. That is exactly the truth. It’s a hypersensitization syndrome, and 90% of those who have it are women. The majority can report at least one, if not many, ACEs and other instances of trauma, usually from abuse.
I believe all auto-immune diseases stem from trauma, anxiety, & depression. We live in a transactional, zero/sum society. Children, and others incapable of producing profit are afterthoughts, if they are considered, at all. The traits that would enable success in this society do not include kindness, generosity, or compassion. In fact, those traits are roundly ridiculed. “Goody-two-shoes”, “bleeding heart,” and the newest addition to the collection, the despicable SJWs, are reactions to what they consider weakness. Once again, in a wealthy, capitalist country like ours, it’s always opposites day.
Edit to add that dissociation is one of the most difficult things to manage. I wonder how many people, besides me, have experienced dissociative amnesia. A lot of behaviors people struggle with stem from the need to dissociate.
Dr Mate’ says also that the medical professionals are Trauma phobic. They simply do not want to look at how this affects all of our health.
Thank you & bless you kind soul for helping everyone that hears your words 🙏🏾❤️
Deep wisdom, if we want to make life better for societies, we will benefit from taking note of Dr Mate's findings. Each person and all together.

Self love, self compassion, dedication to one's authenticity fills the void, and people with higher self love buy less too, and choose truly fulfilling and purposeful work, which adds true benevolence and goodness to others lives. So lets all continue to grow in ourself love, deeply love and treasure yourself.
It is truly a waste that Covid wasn’t our wake up call. We r heading down a dark path in the states. Our ignorance and inability to look inward is killing us.
Sadly if we were able to learn from the Native American cultures around mental and physical health instead of forcing them to be more like the European’s we would have been in a very different environment.
Abandonment issues are deep on our society.
We are all historically 'translocated" in the US...unless we are native American people (which of course is also horribly traumatized history)

These two pre-recorded segments reserved for Thanksgiving Day (this one, and the other one on indigenous issues) are appropriate, compared to the commercialized crap we normally get, in our decaying society.
Amy, please, please, call in dr Sapolsky from Stanford. If possible, mediate a talk between him and dr Maté. The world needs this kind of conversation.
I listen to & read a lot of conservative/right leaning commentary, and have a lot of conservative viewpoints myself, but empathy and compassion is something that honestly scares a lot of conservatives, and is missing in much of their cultural paradigm. It's evident in a lot of their speech patterns, and how they address eachother; you hear it in words like: God bless you and yours, or how they talk about how nobody "helped me" (chest thumping), pull yourself up by the bootstraps, or "facts don't care about your feelings". It's apart of the hyper-individualist mindset, that when paired with ultra the competitive nature of a capitalist society, produces a a cruel and unforgiving, survival of the fittest mindset. Just listen to Hannity, or Ben Shapiro, and you get a sense of someone who has derision for others he doesn't see eye to eye with.
IM NOT SAYING THAT THE LEFT IS INHERENTLY ANY BETTER, because they have plenty of derision and cruelty in their own camp, but DN and a few other left leaning platforms are the only places, I hear this kind of commentary about trauma and compassion. If only people could stop pointing fingers, and shake hands in view that everyone has issues, vulnerability, and is emotionally complex! Until enough people can realize this, a better world is just a pipe dream.
Our society is far more conpassionate now than it was 50 years ago. It is far less racist, despite those that tell you it isn't. It is far more accepting of homosexuals and trans people. It is much less accepting of bullying. Yet this guy is trying to tell you everything is worse, and of course people on the left eat it up. What's going on has very little to do with trauma and much more to do with chronic loneliness due to technology, break down of social institutions, and excessive dopamine stimulation, which is then EXACERBATED by his method of dealing with it. I still hold on to my young leftist views about money and power corrupting this society, but the distortion of the issue via identity and gender politics has done so much damage...and something tells me that people in power wanted this. Why is corporate media so onboard with "woke" politics in race and gender, but never talks about hard economics?
@@TheDmonet I'm 38 and suffered from bullying and exclusion when I was young, its still shapes my understanding of life today.
I'm glad that I'm not the only one to notice how the media is focusing & groveling over wokism, but ignoring the bread butter issues that affect life quality. Sometimes I listen to NPR radio during my commutes to & from work, as well as my lunch period, but it's just one huge social justice diatribe after another. I get disgusted, because as you mentioned, the hard economics never get talked about. It's obvious to me, that real working class people are not the ones listening to that crap!
It's obvious to me that the rich elite are investing heavily into keeping people devided. We already know that left and right are devided, but paradigms like wokism keep people on the left devided among themselves. The same thing happens on the right, just over different issues. Social media of coarse doesn't aid in freeing up people's minds either.

Much gratitude for giving attention to this important work and man who is seeking to bring to light things that are actually at the root of much dis-ease (punctuation is purposeful). 🙏
May many people see this to become more informed since this information is not (unfortunately) known by many in medicine . . .

I admire your service and this guest.
Social Media, Celebrity Culture, and Amazon Consumerism exacerbate Trauma and Addiction, Unattainable Desires and Resentments. Will definitely seek out this book by a fellow Canadian. I am pleased that Mata didnt approach his theories in a simplistic " Colorblind" way but interrogates Racism / Oppression as part of this Trauma phenomenon.
I think Cannabis use and the now easy access to it, was the worst things that happened. We have created a society that just wants to "Escape" or "Self-Medicate" their way out of problems. Anytime Im exhausted or stressed out, I have some Pepper Mint Tea...and I would hardly call this an "Addiction".
@J. W.........I agree. Good observation indeed. The addiction isn’t the root cause, but more of an escape from a sick society run by a very heartless and corrupt group of megalomaniacs. 🙏

Who are you like some expert when a natural substance also provable relieves pain.
Come on & get real question your opinions based on an individual experience.
@@sheilascanlon4928 I was wondering how long it would take someone to attack anyone who questioned the oh so holy leaf so many people can't survive without and are so scarily defensive about it. In 20 years when so many people who are is smoking thc 24/7...in their cars, in their homes, etc..have serious psychological and physical issues, we will look back at this time and wonder why society was so stupid the same way it was with cigarettes.
He's a smart businessman who knows what appeals to the under 35's.
Absolutely the best interview ever on here. Everyone needs to hear these things.
Thank you so much for this amazing interview, the best by far of Dr. Matte..!
We know this as kids as there is an internal conflict, confusion and trauma from having natural expectations of goodness periodically crushed inconsistently. We call this learning reality but sadly it is learning to accept the wrongness of our world.
Nobody is unique, except for our Mom.
"If trauma is a split from ourselves, for example, a disconnect from our bodies, then healing is that reconnection with ourselves. Trauma is not the terrible thing that happened to us, but trauma is the wound that we sustained and are carrying. This is a wonderful message, because it means trauma can be healed at any time." -Dr. Gabor Maté
Great Interview thank you Democracy Now
Dr. Mate Huge Gratitude for Your Knowledge, Insights, Wisdom, and All that You do to Help Others .... Bless You Sir
The 'covid' event has woken many money people up!
the conditioning is being broken through, have faith, it's people like you, Gabor that are doing the path finding and people are following and learning and healing.
You've changed my life, and I'm sure you have changed many many others' too.
"many many" sorry!
COVID showed me how many people are a bunch of witch burners if anyone coughs.
Love Gabor Mate nd his teaching is profound! Listen...
Excellent speaker and ideas on the video! Thank you!
I love his idea of only one spectrum of people, differing in states of woundedness.
I always read this news paper and watch her show .
She is a outstanding reporter .
It is no great measure of health to be well adjusted in a profoundly sick society.

Love that quote and Jiddu Krishnamurthi!
This interview was very educational and insightful. Dr. Mat'e is a very brilliant physician with penetrating insight into the subtilties of how traumatic experiences impact the physiology of humanity. I must purchase this book. The Myth of Normal .
Saw his "Wisdom of Trauma" witch I let me really uau how this man managed to evolve his thinking.
Can't wait to see this in a few mins and probably get his book also.
The man is 1 in 8 million.

By the time I was 9 I had lived in 4 states, new schools/friends, etc, and just before I turned 12 my parents split, dad moved out and only saw him every other weekend. I never even witnessed an argument between my parents, so this came out of left field, but my dad was always gone on business since we left Milwaukee WI 6-7 years prior, so I was used to being the man of the house, with my mom who was great and nurturing but not all that tough, and my sister was quiet and 3 yrs younger. I was a pretty good BB and FB player and my 1st yr in little league was 1976 in Dallas Tx. This was the same year the 1st Bad News Bears movie came out, and I've often used that film as a reference, because to me the back and fourth between the kids and the parents in that movie opitimizes what it was like being a kid in the 70s. (It Was A Very "Tough Love" Environment Then). Although I agree with a lot of this in the video, I feel that there is a happy medium between the harshness in the way many of my generation were raised as kids in the 70s, and the softness of the last 30 years. One of the purposes of learning history, is to give the ppl of today a better perspective of just how difficult it was (just surviving) for so many ppl that came before us, and another thing that IMO kid's today are not taught enough of, is personal accountability, to help them in being better, and more well rounded adults. I get it, but feel there is just too much focus on the negatives today, and not enough focus on just how good we have it compared to so many other areas of the world. Almost everything regarding society in the news today is about how someone or some thing is not being treated right, and we wonder why so many young ppl are lost, angry, on drugs etc. It makes me sad, becomes the vast majority of humans are good people, but too many today are miss-directed!

He's spreading such an important message!
I was laying awake last night thinking about how society expects perfect bodies now and then realized millenials also demand perfect minds. No patience for any mental struggles in parents etc. Ei. Get out and exercise more, eat right, do this do that, whatever, to FIX yourself. Total impatience and then often rejection.
My goodness it puts you in the pit more. Like I'm trying here.
This morning my friend , without prompting or anything, send me the title of this book.
This summary of book says it all. I will be excited to read it when I get it.
Sincerely
A 70 year old baby boomer with mental struggles ;)

Boy, I would love to see Mr. Maté have a talk with Australian biologist Jeremy Griffith maybe they could co-write a book with Gabor's son Aron and tie the whole thing together! so inspiring to hear people talking about solutions!
