Children who experienced trauma have to fight especially hard to not let the past take over. Stay strong.

[nicolasykes]

Fear for me is having no support network. We're not meant to live like this

[ChooseCompassion]

This man is so special.
Is deep compassionate understanding never ceases to amaze me. Once again he’s spot on.

[cloudmastr]

The reason it becomes internal, in my experience, is a social environment that makes you believe that crying out for help won’t get you it. It’s a product of ‘deal with it yourself’ or ‘stiff upper lip’ cultures.

[wordswordswords]

Anxiety is feeling or being unloved and thusly feeling unsafe which is absolutely valid.

[paulalane]

Many cry for help, but trusting who to turn to is most frustrating! So many don't understand or truly care like Gabor Mate. Im 68 and just learning in the past few years what childhood trauma did to me. Ive been an outcast all my life! Im not a victim!

[peacepatience]

Finally, anxiety is simplified for non professionals. Fear is a simpler word to digest than anxiety which people like to throw around thus assuming impossibility and delay in healing.
As a therapist, I don’t say anxiety to clients, we talk about fear and it quickens their healing.

He has described anxiety perfectly. I had suffered from it for years. It's an awful way to live. Our Lord Jesus Christ set me free. Believe and Receive 👍♥️✝️

[blackfootelite]

This man is so amazing. Even had the honour of meeting him and to hear him speak on addiction and its correlation with trauma.

[bunnyboonotu]

I absolutely adore Dr. Gabor Maté.
He's such a loving and compassionate soul ❤

[tmaxine]

So powerfully said. Gives more insight to how I’m breaking free from my chronic anxiety.

Dr Maté, I'm an elder woman with a 45-year history of RA. I've been paying attention to you for several years. I respect you enormously.
You've been explaining and lecturing about trauma and people who "give" at their own expense. I believe that since I began watching you, you now look years younger. I don't sense the heavy aura that I saw before.
I believe that in a great degree you've healed yourself. I believe that's true. I hope it is.

[releasingendorphins]

This man is an absolute Genius! I Love Dr. Gabor Matte!❤❤❤😂😂😂❤❤❤

[Lichfeldian--Suttonian]

Gabor Maté is gold!
He really does speak my life as I have lived it.

[feelthepainting]

I agree with this, and also anxiety to me isn't necessarily a conscious fear but more of a chronically activated nervous system that is on high alert/ hypervigilance that makes my body feel tired and tense with different pains and inflammation throughout, or tension headaches, or being emotional with little trigger, or having stomach pains and indigestion, or flare ups of eczema. It's somatic not necessarily always cognitive?

[nmod]

I have been suffering from exactly this and more for much of my life due to S.A.

I was on the brink of total implosion, and at that last moment, i prayed to My Creator, then reached out to one of my friends closest friends who has been a friend all my life. My friend is supporting me to get bsck into the world one step at a time and being supported to get back into the swings of life. We need to breathe the air and feel the sun.

[joanreyes]

yes, I agree- I find his voice very soothing

[halamer]

You’re so right. I love to watch your videos, helps me feel safe.
I wish I could have you as my therapist to help me conquer my fear of the world. Had traumas since my childhood and adulthood. Hard to find someone that understands and listens.

[monicanixon]

Those two together worked out a better understanding...and I appreciate it. Thank you.

[kingmalcolm]

I learned something about myself here.
