  I could listen to this guy all day. What a God send. I wish I could find a therapist as compassionate, as wise and as knowledgable as him.

  I'm a psychologist and I can relate to all that he says , both personally and professionally.  He is a powerhouse of wisdom. So much clarity and such amazing information,  imparted so clearly and simple. His humility shows when he says you don't have to buy my book if you don't want to. You can borrow it from a library. This is so contrasting to the tons of self help/ life coaches who arrogantly tell you to buy their books and make tall claims.  This man is a gift to humanity. God bless him and his work. Thank you for making such interviews freely available on YouTube.

  Dr Gabor Mate is an inspiration and I resonate with him whenever he speaks. <br>I had Breast Cancer back in 2019 and it was a total shock as I was 31. Honestly, it is one of the best things that &nbsp;happened to me as I became sober from alcohol and changed my life. It was traumatic too.<br><br> I quelled a lot of my anger and suppressed trauma for years. I had a very traumatic childhood and still working through this trauma now. I have changed a lot as a person as a result of the cancer.<br><br> My mother passed away from cancer and we had a strained relationship and I held anger and resentment towards both of my parents. One of the best gifts I&apos;m giving to myself is the space to heal and attending therapy so I can be a healthier person and have healthy relationships.<br><br> It&apos;s quite amazing how dissociated and disconnected we become due to trauma. Thank you for this great video and for your channel! I appreciate these wise conversations, especially considering the world we are in.

  I could listen to Dr Maté for ever. He says things that we all know deep down to be true and fundamental. He has thought things through in a deep manner, and searched in his own soul. He has suffered and paid deep attention to other human beings in distress. He explains human trauma so well. He speaks about a world that has come to the brink of self-destruction and no longer betters people&apos;s lives. Let&apos;s hope more like him speak out!

  He saved my life. I was misdiagnosed with panic disorder for two decades. I was taking three 2mg Klonopin a day. After reading &quot;Scattered (Minds),&quot; I was successfully diagnosed with ADD. I was prescribed Ritalin. Immediately, I stopped biting my nails, I went from there a day to .5mg a week. I became sociable and got four jobs plus a volunteer job. Miracle!

  I can deeply sense Gabor&apos;s authenticity. I love his composure and the way he articulates his points, so simply and concisely. Also that he is a good listener who shares and takes turns as opposed to dominating the conversation and speaking over his host as so many celebrity leaders do. I will buy his book tomorrow.

  False diagnosed by a inexperienced therapist which had just started &nbsp;therapy practise and she had only seen me 3 to 5 times - diagnosed me with Bpd - had to take overdose of SSRI and gained terribly weight and other severe side effects - when I informed our experienced family doctor - he warned me that most of those &quot;diagnosis&quot; are terribly wrong and he gave me the wise advice to tapper those medication which I started immediately with success - never ever had a personality disorder at all - never ever will take any medicine nor diagnosis from any therapist or psychiatrist at all - my trust into those psychodocs has gone - today I do help myself with watching videos from Gabor Mate which helps me more than any mediciation could ever do it for me.

  I love Dr Gabor Maté. He’s gentle and powerful all the while keeping it REAL. I utilize his knowledge and research at a parent and as an individual. So incredibly grateful to this man and his life’s work and vulnerability. Great interview, Andre!!
