The 4 Reasons You FEEL LOST & How To FIND YOURSELF! | Gabor Mate & Rangan Chatterjee

2 years clean from a 30 year heroin, crack, benzo and methadone habit. Consider myself extremely blessed to have survived and been given insight into my inner world, freedom lies within 😊

Dr mate is awsome!! I saw him speak once a long time ago . He expanded my way of thinking. I'm now 3 years sober from alcohol

The Body requires touch. A hand on the arm, around the back. A hug. Just a simple touch. A smile. I work in a nursing home. I see the forgotten. I am also aware of how a kiss on the forehead. Eye to Eye contact can make all the difference. I won’t even talk about how isolated they were. We were, with Covid. Also I could go on and on about Medication, Food, Activities,but I am feeling depressed and do not want to add anything than the Power of Love and a Touch.

This wonderful man speaks more sense than any therapist, doctor or friend I've ever met. I thank the universe for his existence and being available on YTube. He's saved my sanity x

My favourite quote: an insane culture is a culture that doesn't meet people's needs

"My mantra is not why the addiction, but why the pain"-Dr.Gabor Mate

It's not just friends we need to see and interact with every day. We need "friendly" human contact.

Gabor Mate is one of the most gracious, deep thinking and wisest human beings on the planet. May the Gods ever protect you x

Excellent podcast. I’m an Emergency nurse and deal with addicts of all kinds and homeless on a daily basis. During our conversations I have come to realise that pain is always behind their situations. We all numb and are addicted to something to a certain level, some more than others depending on our past traumas. Amazing Gabor and this interviewer was fantastic 👏🏻

I have to say, the slowing down, pandemic helped me heal, I've had a lot of introspective and time to work on myself and as a conscious parent going forward. I've found your work and started to follow my passion. Now at 37 I'm starting my first university module in October ❤

Dr Mate really is naturally emotionally intelligent as well as academic.. I really do relate 💯!! You can’t teach this in medical school or nursing school.. you either have emotional intelligence about the world from young age regardless of trauma.. but to have intelligence to explain it is a gift to world ❤️

This man has so much humility it's incredible.

‘A baby’s cry is precisely as serious as it sounds’ - wrote Jean Liedloff in ‘The Continuum Concept’, the most groundbreaking book on the subject I have ever read. Published in 1975 but never given the attention and recognition it deserves as it literally can save humanity.

At 70, I am feeling and sensing that the ageing process is taking hold. I still have to work to support myself because social security is not enough. Most of the time I feel depressed and have no hope that I will be free to enjoy my older years.

If only common therapists and doctors had 5% of the insight and the wisdom of Dr Mate, this world would be a much better place. And I think one of the worst things about addiction is the stigmatization which makes it even harder to reach out and to talk openly about it.

I wish Dr Gabor Mate could be my therapist.

I think that many of us are stuck in limbo ; knowing that their current life needs healing, but also not being sure that they want to, or even can, heal. Lifestyle changes are much easier and faster.........but temporary.

As an addict in recovery I have learned more about addiction in a few short months relating to addiction than 5 yrs in fellowship. I've been able to accept my own trauma & what I was seeking to numb for 30+ yrs. I hope as I progress to use the knowledge that Gabor has privileged us with to help others still suffering. It goes so much deeper. I am so grateful for you and the knowledge you gift us with. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Gabor. You have changed my life and I will continue to learn and apply changes, grow & my purpose is now absolutely to help others suffering💜🙏

Everything he said was true in my experience with addiction. 2 years sober, and it’s been a very difficult uphill battle but never give up! Trauma needed to be heard acknowledged and helped before I could take the addiction out of my life!
