Attachment to self is the key! Learning to have the courage to stand up to the negative energy's painful emotions within us, see them and choose to release them.. and you will get your power back! Your soular power..❤ we didn't even know we were missing.🧝♀️🧞♀️🧜♀️🧚♀️
I had mine yesterday April 28 and I hated every moment of it. I am not good with pain and I get nervous. It was painful but not really, hard to explain. I wouldn't want to go through it again.
I've been following Dr Mate , this is one of the best lectors I have ever heard, it's so the opposite of what we are molded into. This man has the recipe.
This is exactly why mental health, addiction, etc. isn’t an individual problem. We live in a society that allows, encourages damaging behaviours and beliefs by normalizing parental abuse and neglect. 36:35 Letting a child “cry it out” is acceptable. Meeting the parents’ wants while neglecting the child’s fundamental needs. Family law & protection constantly neglects a child’s well-being. A child is forced against their free will to see a psychologically abusive parent because it’s their parent. What does this teach? Anything less than physical abuse is acceptable- despite a 30 year study proving the impact of psychological abuse is more damaging long term than physical or sexual abuse. It teaches children to ignore their instincts and that they don’t have a right to safety. Along with teaching the wrong lessons in consent, boundaries, treatment, morals, values, etc. while invoking stress, anxiety, anger in the child. When these children grow up, they either continue the cycle or do the work to heal and stop the cycle, and guess what? Our children are still traumatized and neglected because society rather vilify us than fix what’s happening. This worsens the parent’s mental, physical, social, and financial health which directly affects their child. The relationship between the healthy parent and child also becomes alienated and the attachment is damaged due to the lack of support and abuse from the other parent. But why would society care, right? Illness increases profits, and mentally ill make great scapegoats.
There was so much knowledge, so many books written on trauma, ADHD, addiction, toxicity of the culture we live in, emotional detachment, and depression. However, it takes an incredibly brilliant mind to connect all these areas of research into the big picture and show how we all are affected by it, "normal people", not just those "faulty" ones of us that should be taken care of in "institutions". Gabor Mate is deservedly becoming one of the few ourstanding characters in the history of psychology to pioneer a series of breakthroughs in our understanding of the deep nature of human mental messups. You are a life-saver, Gabor. Thank you for your gift.
When I was pregnant under an American doctor, I nearly lost my baby. I was transferred to an Eastern European OB/GYN who gave me the type of advice Dr. Mate gives - including resisting the hospital's pressure for a C-section and forced labor - and my baby is now in her 20s and a joy. Mate's advice could mean life over death.
Thank You Dr Mate, I understand that we as humans have a drive to have children, however, as an adult, if we knew what you have just told us, maybe we would decide that our lifestyle does not support an environment that would be healthy for bringing up a child, (never mind 2-3 or 4 children!) and not have children. Or we could decide to change our life style for the time of the pregnancy and the first 2 years.
Let’s create a welcoming environment for all applicants regardless of race colour gender and medical decisions. Let’s make Canada free from #Discrimination
I grew up knowing exactly what discrimination is and you are discriminating against the patient rights and the nurses oath of bodily autonomy. Shame on you!
Too bad that your entity STILL discriminates people against bodily autonomy decisions. You would have higher quality outcomes with happier employees if discrimination wasn’t at the top of your priorities as per u n agenda 21 guidelines that you have so gravely signed onto. Shame on you!
Adoption needs to be added to ACE. It’s a trauma to both mother and baby. Adoptee’s are over represented in addictions, suicide’s, the judicial system and mental health statistics. Adoption is not in the best interest of the child.
"People whose integrity has not been damaged in childhood, who were protected, respected, and treated with honesty by their parents, will be-both in their youth and in adulthood-intelligent, responsive, empathic, and highly sensitive. They will take pleasure in life and will not feel any need to kill or even hurt others or themselves. They will use their power to defend themselves, not to attack others. They will not be able to do otherwise than respect and protect those weaker than themselves, including their children, because this is what they have learned from their own experience. We are still barely conscious of how harmful it is to treat children in a degrading manner. Treating them with respect and recognizing the consequences of their being humiliated are by no means intellectual matters; otherwise, their importance would long since have been generally recognized. Society chooses to disregard the mistreatment of children, judging it to be altogether normal because it is so commonplace. The more we idealize the past and refuse to acknowledge our childhood sufferings, the more we pass them on unconsciously to the next generation. The truth about our childhood is stored up in our body, and although we can repress it, we can never alter it. Our intellect can be deceived, our feelings manipulated, and conceptions confused, and our body tricked with medication. But someday our body will present its bill, for it is as incorruptible as a child, who, still whole in spirit, will accept no compromises or excuses, and it will not stop tormenting us until we stop evading the truth. The art of not experiencing feelings. A child can experience her feelings only when there is somebody there who accepts her fully, understands her, and supports her. If that person is missing, if the child must risk losing the mother’s love of her substitute in order to feel, then she will repress emotions. Every life and every childhood is filled with frustrations; we cannot imagine it otherwise, for even the best mother cannot satisfy all her child’s wishes and needs. It is not the suffering caused by frustration, however, that leads to emotional illness, but rather the fact that the child is forbidden by the parents to experience and articulate this suffering, the pain felt at being wounded. We don’t yet know, above all, what the world might be like if children were to grow up without being subjected to humiliation, if parents would respect them and take them seriously as people. The reason why parents mistreat their children has less to do with character and temperament than with the fact that they were mistreated themselves and were not permitted to defend themselves. The claim that mild punishments (slaps or smacks) have no detrimental effect is still widespread because we got this message very early from our parents who had taken it over from their own parents. Unfortunately, the main damage it causes is precisely the broad dissemination of this conviction. The result of which is that each successive generation is subjected to the tragic effects of so called physical “correction.” The knowledge that you were beaten and that this, as your parents tell you, was for your own good may well be retained (although not always), but the suffering caused by the way you were mistreated will remain unconscious and will later prevent you from empathizing with others. This is why battered children grow up to be mothers and fathers who beat their offspring. Many people suffer all their lives from this oppressive feeling of guilt, the sense of not having lived up to their parents’ expectations. This feeling is stronger than any intellectual insight they might have, that it is not a child’s task or duty to satisfy his parents needs. No argument can overcome these guilt feelings, for they have their beginnings in life’s earliest periods, and from that they derive their intensity and obduracy. The abused children are alone with their suffering, not only within the family, but also within themselves. They cannot crate a place in their own soul where they could cry their heart out. The abused child goes on living within those who have survived such torture, a torture that ended with total repression. They live with the darkness of fear, oppression, and threats. When all its attempts to move the adult to heed its story have failed, it resorts to the language of symptoms to make itself heard. Enter addiction, psychosis, criminality. Till now, society has protected the adult and blamed the victim. It has been abetted in its blindness by theories, still in keeping with the pedagogical principles of our great- grandparents, according to which children are viewed as crafty creatures, dominated by wicked drives, who invent stories and attack their innocent parents or desire them sexually. In reality, children tend to blame themselves for their parents’ cruelty and to absolve the parents, whom they invariably love, of all responsibility. It is not true that evil, destructiveness , and perversion inevitably form part of human existence, no matter how often this is maintained. But it is true that we are daily producing more evil and, with it, an ocean of suffering for millions that is absolutely avoidable. When one day the ignorance arising from childhood repression is eliminated and humanity has awakened, an end can be put to this production of evil. It is very difficult for people to believe the simple fact that every persecutor was once a victim. Yet it should be very obvious that someone who was allowed to feel free and strong from childhood does not have the need to humiliate another person. Those children who are beaten will in turn give beatings, those who are intimidated will be intimidating, those who are humiliated will impose humiliation, and those whose souls are murdered will murder. Without realizing that the past is constantly determining their present actions, they avoid learning anything about their history. They continue to live in their repressed childhood situation, ignoring the fact that is no longer exists, continuing to fear and avoid dangers that, although once real, have not been real for a long time. Sadism is not an infectious disease that strikes a person all of a sudden. It has a long prehistory in childhood and always originates in the desperate fantasies of a child who is searching for a way out of a hopeless situation. Hitler, Stalin, Mao and other dictators were exposed to severe physical mistreatment in childhood and refused to face up to the fact later. Instead of seeing and feeling what had happened to them, they avenged themselves vicariously by killing millions of people. And millions of others helped them to do so." ~ Alice Miller "Why should society feel responsible only for the education of children, and not for the education of all adults of every age? Many psychiatrists and psychologists refuse to entertain the idea that society as a whole may be lacking in sanity. They hold that the problem of mental health in a society is only that of the number of 'unadjusted' individuals, and not of a possible un-adjustment of the culture itself. The fact that millions of people share the same vices does not make these vices virtues, the fact that they share so many errors does not make the errors to be truths, and the fact that millions of people share the same form of mental pathology does not make these people sane. A society whose principles are acquisition, profit, and property produces a social character oriented around having, and once the dominant pattern is established, nobody wants to be an outsider, or indeed an outcast; in order to avoid this risk everybody adapts to the majority, who have in common only their mutual antagonism. The deepest need of the human being is to overcome our separateness, to leave the prison of our loneliness. The person who gives up his individual self and becomes an automaton, identical with millions of other automatons around him, need not feel alone and anxious any more. But the price he pays, however, is high; it is the loss of his self. Alienation as we find it in modern society is almost total… Man has created a world of man-made things as it never existed before. He has constructed a complicated social machine to administer the technical machine he built. The more powerful and gigantic the forces are which he unleashes, the more powerless he feels himself as a human being. He is owned by his creations, and has lost ownership of himself." ~ Erich Fromm
No wonder there is not a huge difference in the overall quality of life between the eastern world, especially the relatively poor countries with strong family values, and so called advanced worlds with individualistic approach. Sure, clinical interventions against infectious diseases are significantly different but the outcomes from the disease from stress are not that different despite all the medical advancements in the west because traditional values here are being ignored for any kind of material growth.
They look at the Mega Block from the Aztec and they said those blocks created by evil spirit. Every thing is evil to them. Must be something wrong with their brain. They need some medications. Or they should go to the mental hospital.
