Dr. Mate was my family doctor for 18 years in Vancouver. He's so kind and compassionate and ahead of his time. His insight into my past helped me so much. Dr. Mate, I hope you realize how much you are appreciated. I hope you are being as kind to yourself as you are to everyone else.
An unfortunate reality, we really do not know how to face the current pandemic problem. Being isolated, being quarantine, fear and panic of the unknown, etc., etc. You may turn to religion for guidance and solitude. I found a way, by facing reality from an active thinking mind, how?

Older nurse who retired early d/t emotional collapse from stress of Coronavirus here - feeling a little less guilty for finally choosing my own wellbeing after 40 years of caring for others following a childhood of care taking for alcoholic father and abused mother. I’m laying the burden down now. Thank you so much.

Oh yes, it's like unconscious selfpunishment and like trying yourself. "Can I pickup myself again and again and again from this mess I've created or just feeling mentally and physically so tired and awful at times". Think whatever the overdoing of something is, after some point it rarely is that much fun and pleasure. So why we keep doing it?

i found it interesting to know 'it's not like war where one knew where the enemy was ' where as now... and amazed the other foreign old lady had no idea what was going on ! .. uf!!
The part that Dr Maté said about being unable to trust authority because authority let the person down in childhood was life changing for me to hear. My mother let me down very badly (neglect and abuse) and I now realise this is where I’ve developed this block from. It s a block thats made it hard to ever have a manager. It’s a trauma response. Thank you both for this enlightening video. Stay well. Xx
Unfortunately me too! I'm so sorry you had to experience this. What helps me is to tell myself every day, I'm an adult, I'm not a child, I am in control, i can remove myself from danger, i have choices, I'm not that little kid stuck with no options. The feelings of no control will continue to control your life until you affirm daily what the facts are. Namaste!
@@bugsea54 You realize "authorities" in the broader sense let people down every damn day of the year, don't ya? Also, the idea that mere chronological adulthood bestows "choices" on people is garbage mostly spewed by people thusly blessed, who then project their own reality onto others apropos nothing. Stop it.
I feel like this virus has given me a lot of time that I really needed to have with myself. I was actually very depressed before the shutdowns started but being able to telework and having the pressure to put on a happy face for people removed has allowed me to sit with myself, process what I needed and actually work on it. I think there has definitely been a silver lining to all of this.
I wonder if there is a silver lining I don't see one with all the disparities perhaps your one of the fortunate that gained a funtion.. God bless your additude in the subject matter.
I assumed you gained a funtion did you profit from another's disparities? That seems the theme of the pandemic. People hurting due to People wanting more of what they view others have they don't..
"Why don't we just come together as a human race and just be kind"...great interview and beautiful messages to be heard...Two beautiful souls sharing their wisdom here
Me too!! I loooved every minute of this conversation! I adore and am grateful to Gabor Mate!! This is my first time at your channel Dr. Chatterjee and I really appreciated your questions and thoughts! I just subscribed today! Thank you for such a great interview!!
It’s rare I comment on any of the numerous interviews I watch on RU-vid, but this interview was one of the very best because of it’s authenticity, vulnerability and intelligence. Although I watched because I’m a huge fan of Dr. Mate’s work, I am thrilled to have also stumbled upon Dr. Chatterjee, as well! Thank you both for a brilliant discussion, one in which I’ve saved and will attend to again in the future. Thoughts of health and well-being to you and your families and world audience. Peace.
Hi Dr Rangan, a great interview. I saw the most beautiful scene today a little boy playing in the sand with his trucks, he was in a world of his own. Playing can produce passion Think we should all take time out to play and have some fun nurture the child within. My Dad has passed away now but one of my happiest memories was picking blueberries with him its funny how some of the fondest memories do not cost money but time spent with loved ones. What Gabor is saying have compassion!
Thank you so much for this most informative, thought-provoking, enlightening interview with Dr. Gabor Mate. I am a licensed professional therapist in Georgia, US - and I have shared much of his teachings with my clients - yielding very successful results. I admire and respect him so very much.
I absolutely love Gabor Maté, this is my first listen to Dr Rangan Chatterjee, this is so good and relevant for me. I love reading the comments and the discussions on judgements. Everybody has listened to the same conversation and interpreted it differently. We are so different. Thank you for helping distract me distract myself with such fabulous information.
Hey Rachelle - thank so much for your comments. I completely agree, we all interpret things differently. I had a conversation with Gabor back in Nov 2018, that you may also enjoy: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2oicQ2xFiIc.html
Wat een verademingen inspirerende man. Ik ben een huiselijk geweld werker in Nederland en ik kan zoveel van deze man leren . Jammer dat wij hier niet een Dr Gabor hebben. Bedankt voor je wijsheden en compassie.
I have to admit, that I started crying like a kid, when you started just saying to sit with yourself for a moment and ask yourself, if this (stress, anger,...) is something I know from the past and it just hit me.... Thank you so much for this interview
I would love to cause Dr Mate’ to generate “thought bubbles” ☺️ He is such a gold mine. I’m so thankful for his generosity, his honesty, the work he has done and the work he is still doing.
The keyword for me in your comment is Generous. He is forgiving, patient and generous in his delivery. He is expected to tailor his ideas to the layman level on a frequent basis although he clearly operates on a much higher level. Yet still he is generous in offering his expertise.
@@oliestrella7695 Me too..I had similar thoughts and I have been alone since 13th March and had the Covid-19. Still I can feel my agoraphobia rearing its ugly head again
This was one of the few places where the interviewer was almost as open to be human as much as Gabor generally is. It is always a good experience to watch the latter talk, even for more than an hour at a go. What felt different here is that it was a conversation which stimulated both parties as well as us as audience, instead of a general q&a-like conversation. Thank you for this
Oh, it did finally evolve into a "conversation?" I've listened to all of Dr. Mate's videos, and really enjoyed most of them, but I have to say that this Dr. Rangan Chatterjee "character" has seemed extremely interruptive to his own guest. What is Dr. Chatterjee a Doctor OF, do you know ? In one video Rangen went on and on and Dr. Mate politely said, "Oh, may I interrupt here ?" WHAT? Why doesn't Dr. Chatterjee give his own guest TIME TO SPEAK? During the one video in which Gabor describes the thought behind the writings of the Christopher Robin, he mentions how DISNEY did his "Disne(y)fuedm agm : Disnifications ? of characters; How creatively stated; I knew the composer of the Bambi orchestrations; and funny, but Gabor reminds me so much of him, his pauses, thinking, patience with others he was conversing with...

I would have great difficulty keeping up with the depth of some of Dr. Mate's knowledge behind many of his statements, but I kept wanting to stop the HOST'S chatter to hear more of him.

I found this so helpful, I have recently been called over analytical because I have been processing my feelings of my aloneness in my journal. I am learning in this that alone = all one. I am becoming whole, even when it hurts to be on my own for so much of the time. Love Gabor, he is so wise. Great podcast, thank you to both of you.

Feeling great to have discovered Dr Mate's sharing globally on humanity, a man with true wisdom and very knowledgeable, every time he speaks, he makes me think deep into the subject matter. Thank you.
Dr Gabor is a wonderful gift to the world! I went to an allergist today and was so impressed when he asked me if there was a trauma or some incident that triggered my new allergies. I asked if he knew Dr Gabor’s work and he said YES!!! With love from Santa Fe, New Mexico!
This was such an illuminating conversation and indeed far more constructive than listening to the news cycle. This global situation is making us more aware of our individual escapism.
Another amazing hour and a bit! Gabor Maté is so clued up and just processes information so differently to the masses. His gentleness with some brutal topics and realities is incredible. I love to hear you both spark off each other too. Thank you and I look forward to your next 'chat' with him
I feel we are learning many life lessons from this experience right now, as a culture and as individuals. Not least because of this wonderful conversation between the two of you. I hope we do transform our social structures and increase our compassion and love for our fellow-humans. Thank You!

To answer “what now” once I realized I was right about my childhood trauma affecting me, my children and my grandchildren now at 58, I got Gabor Mate’s books and I’m reading and pondering them. I’m not saying that’s THE answer but is is the next step for me-at least during this quarantine. Like almost everyone, I am absolutely being tested with the closeness of my family. And I’m certain I m testing them too. Thank you for posting this. I feel better every time I listen to Gabor Maté.
I enjoy hearing Dr. Rangan learning with his children. I tell my children that I learned to be a decent parent because they taught me everything about unconditional love. I think Dr. Gabor is a genius! Treat everyone with love, that covers so many areas.
I love, love, love to listen to Gabor. I only discovered him one year ago at a Psychotherapy Networker Conference (I am a hospice social worker). He is gentle, compassionate, knowledgeable, and very articulate. His words are like poetry. His work has completely changed my life in many ways. I can’t wait to read his books. Thank you, Gabor-and a special thanks for self-disclosing and being so real & transparent. xxoo
He is a wonderful giving person, he actually took the time to phone me after I emailed randomly about my addiction problems. I was excited that a notoriety would take the time to help me (a lowlife junkie that has recovered somewhat). God bless him. He is a wise man.
It's good for people to hear what tips they can utilize when they're feeling stressed and to explain to their kids how they're feeling. For me, it's important to have a regular practice of body awareness or sitting meditation. The practice helps me to get in touch with and accept what I'm feeling and to notice those times when I go for a distraction.
Absolutely fantastic talk, It made me realise that everything I have learnt from Gabor and people like him over the years is really serving me well at the moment at this difficult time. I will be definitely listening to your podcasts Dr Rangan. This is the best thing I have watched by far in recent times. Thank you
Thanks Tracey. Glad you found it helpful. Hope you enjoy the other podcasts - there are 106 previous conversations including another one with Gabor! This is a link to Part 1 if you are interested: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2oicQ2xFiIc.html
Cheers to Dr. Mate's call for compassion on a inter/national level two-thirds of the way through, understanding those among us have to appear apolitical.
Thanks you so much for this podcast with Gabor Mate the dialogue between both of you is so full of awerness in the exchange of ideas and observations. I am so glad of being able to attend it.
Two short clips from Gabor's interviews did more for me in 20 minutes than two decades of religious and spiritual seeking. It's possible the religious practice and spirituality gave me certain tools, but fundamentally, I couldn't identify the source of my brokenness without his explanation of infant/childhood trauma, and I couldn't heal without his practice of compassionate enquiry (from his interview with Tim Ferriss). Thanks for this interview 🙏 It will almost certainly help so many heal.
Had been waiting to hear Dr.Mate speak for a long time now....so so glad & always a privilege to hear him....it's would be an honour for anyone who gets to interact with him

Every part of me is deeply delighted that I'm on the planet with Dr. Gabor Mate. I was blessed to attend his talk and meet him last year at Johns Hopkins Hospital. I'm still in awe at how my Spirit Guides made that happen for me. I love this man so much.
After listening to this when awareness came up a couple of times I was reminded of something I read many years ago, "awareness the oposite of denial frees us from our confusion." All the best and thanks for the video.
I can listen intently to Dr. Gabor Mate 24/7, and continue to learn and be enlightened even more every time. His depth of knowledge is immense -- concerning all walks and aspects of life. We are so blessed to be able to hear and learn from his wisdom.
What a wise honest loving man! Everything he says about trauma is true. I was in deep therapy for many years.... and I learnt exactly the same thing about my childhood and my parents' trauma. After facing all my issues over many years I am largely healed. It is a lifelong process and certain issues will not be resolved in this lifetime. I can now be alone for months on end and not freak out. God bless my therapist and people like Gabor.
I have found learning how to care and nourish my body has helped me realize I Matter. Our bodies are designed to heal if we pay attention. I’m really Thankful to be here and Hear your ways.
Thank you for getting this man on camera at a time when we can benefit so much from hearing his clarity and observations. It is very lovely how you express your heartfelt respect for him and also lovely how you respond to so many comments on here, which also feels very respectful. I read some of the other comments + the comment that mentioned hearing voices from other cultures stuck with. Where Gabor gives comparison to other crises we face, eg. air pollution and austerity, I guess a big part of the reason we do not act on these is because of how they are framed + the time + attention given to the presentation of the data + therefore their lack of space in the public mind. Perhaps you could use your platform to interview some of the experts in these other crises. Not necessarily right in the midst of this one - but more as part of the reconstruction process, to try to contribute to a more balanced way of our efforts + compassion being focused.
Thank you Dr. Chatterjee for this wonderful, insightful and time worthy video with Dr. Gabor Mate. You're both brilliant gentlemen to offer many perspectives to our current chaos and uncertainty. Particularly, your ideas about compassion- the most critical behavior we must practice every day to be well & evolve. Thank you❤

One gets the sense of how Gabor Mate's true goodness spreads when reading these comments. It seems to me he takes us into our hearts where we feel and express love, our true nature. What joy to read these comments shared here.
Every word you have said is aligning to my purpose right now. I recently registered a business Compassionate Coaching just before Covid. Got diagnosed with lobular Breast Cancer during Covid and have raised €10,000 so far in Funraiser for "COVId CANCER and I". Family members with ADHD and health anxiety. Realising that I need to show compassion to my inner child who felt her work load was too much, that be able to say it's ok you don"t have to do everything. I was a child carer as my mum had disability.
Wow I am a private CNA and that’s how my inner child spoke to me and I heard it and tune it out and no sooner my fibromyalgia stated acting up I felt the constriction in my shoulder and neck I found the Godly dr and listen about childhood truama I was so fascinated first I am connecting truama with childhood and coping skills ..
Less external distractions now during Covid quarantine... we've begun having family meetings to share where we are each at in our own heads and how we can be maximally supportive of each other. Lots of healing and new sense of connection through enhanced communication time together. Don't feel isolated at all. Feel embraced and loving.
When did Columbo become so wise? 🤭😉 Seriously, Dr. Maté has asked questions in such a way that has ripped the scab off my life-long anger. I'm ready to answer these difficult questions and each day, become a better person. Love the twist in his thought process. Bravo.
A wonderful interview. I am forever grateful Gabor Maté is in the world and sharing his knowledge and experience with all of us. He is inspiring and speaks the most important truth about being human.
The Plague Years, Daniel Defoe. Re-read it at the start of covid. All my friends mocked me. It really helped, especially to anticipate what will happen next and how long it will take to pan out.
It is really educational for me to see how Dr.Maté brings up the state of war and sanctions in Gaza and Iran. A huge lesson of compassion for me, to care for others even if not same faith or geographical region. Reflecting on the fact that we are shielded from awareness of what catastrophes are happening around the word. I wish we have more of DrMate for human society
I found this conversation very nourishing for my soul. It was such a comfort to hear similar questions being voiced that had only been echoes in the privacy of my mind and to be reminded of the value of these challenging times for becoming kinder, more sensitive people. Thank you so much.
Cauldron of emotions : what a lovely choice of words ! Best to Stir with kindness vs boiling over or simmer 🤔 .... Thought provoking podcast ... so thankful I came across this today 03:30 AM on a sleepless night ... 50 minutes into it, I feel better already ... An attitude of gratitude has been part of my lifestyle for the past 10 years , and much more poignant to continue in these times ... Stay safe , and Kind everyone
Hence physical dis-ease like chronic pain is also due to childhood influence. And so heal the mind, heal the body. That's really hopeful to hear especially right now. Thank you.
Ive noticed i push down or hold back on alot of my feelings..i can be super happy, excited and i wont show it. Even my mom would tell me to enjoy life, show your emotions your likes and dislikes. She would joke that if i was dead....but i think back to when my dad was killed i was 7 years old...i felt half of me die too. Now i have children of my own and i have let myself feel more with all their hugs and( i love you mama). It takes time to heal.
I enjoy heating Dr. Rangan learning with his children. I tell my children that I learned to be a decent parent because they taught me everything about unconditional love. I think Dr. Gabor is a genius! Treat everyone with love, that covers so many areas.
Great talk! Thanks for talking about these things together! I agree that Dr. Gabor Mate's voice is one of the most important during these times. So good!
Is distracting oneself with such information from Gabor Mate, and similar inspiring people, really a bad distraction? :) I'm always awestruck by Gabor Mate's words and work.
Absolutely. When was the last time every person had ANY time to really reflect on how we live and what needs to change? USE your lockdown time to really imagine what you want tomorrow to be ("More Of Same Only Worse" is not enough)---and get ready for new connections and activism to make it happen!
@@fun_ghoul Agreed, with total sympathetic respect---and it seems C19 is showing everybody how important each person's job is. Think it means we each/all have the power we need to really make change.
Thank you for making the effort to bring clarity to the people, me, and to offer a choice that could give peace. Something beautiful is already happening here, with you both exploring the issues that covid19 has brought up, most importantly being with ourselves and what our own self introspection will do for others. Validating we are all part of the whole is a very giving thing to do now, now, which is most important. Bless you both for dealing so gently and with intelligence.
New to you Dr Gabor and thank you for your help. I truly hope that you have someone to hear you and help you to bear the weight of what you hear and those you help. Thank you for your kindness.
Love this "chat' revealing past trauma restimulated by Corona and distracting ourselves from stuff like that. I too feel it deep in my chest, maybe checking just this feeling, how many people feel this way really is a good question for sociologists.
Dr. Mate has been such a complete and nurturing learning experience for me! Grateful thankful here. I'll keep on keeping on in my current path to becoming the person God intended me to be. I'm 58 and have just now realized my worth- Gabor, you helped me so much and can't wait to learn more. Well wishes to you and your beautiful family!! Love, Sophie from Texas
My stress test shows tons of stress and fear.. I definitely have snapped at my kids more then too many times.. I have lost it.. Not just snapped.. I always apologize.. But i would like to be able to control my outburst.. Each day I try to start over.. ❤❤❤ Thank you for this conversation
I just found you and your compassion is refreshing. You’re doing great during this time just like so many people I prefer to be around. Out of the blue I found myself starting to cry today and realized my body was saying “NO” and I listened. Thank you for putting it in an understanding “why?” way.
This greatmind is so intelligent and empathetic. He needs to be taught in high school courses. This would give these students a deep understanding of how our bodies and minds function.

What is Dr. Chatterjee a Doctor OF, do you know ? In one video Rangen went on and on and Dr. Mate politely said, "Oh, may I interrupt here ?" WHAT? Why doesn't Dr. Chatterjee give his own guest TIME TO SPEAK? During the one video in which Gabor describes the thought behind the writings of the Christopher Robin, he mentions how DISNEY did his "Disne(y)fuedm agm : Disnifications ? of characters; How creatively stated; I knew the composer of the Bambi orchestrations; and funny, but Gabor reminds me so much of him, his pauses, thinking, patience with others he was conversing with... (Bob Brunner) a really personable , talented AND deeply spiritually endowed person. I would have great difficulty keeping up with the depth of some of Dr. Mate's knowledge behind many of his statements, but I kept wanting to stop the HOST'S chatter to hear more of him. And reading is difficult because I spend my eyesight on watching little notes and counting rhythm charts..but I'd love say to him, the first feeling I had during the first video I saw.... This man "Listens...with his heart." So enjoyable to hear him. speak! Patience, Discernment, Great Candor, Personalability. Of course this man is married to an ARTIST! Yes!

I've had a couple nervous break downs the last one during the 2008 recession, I finally got treatment at the county mental health center. You can make decisions to not let fear overcome your thoughts by meditating and submit to do nothing, just be. This time around I made a decision to not go there. I meditate, stay away from triggers, exercise, and pamper me every minute of the day. Tara Brach is a great mindfulness instructor for this, to help with trauma and she has a process called rain to learn to sit with feelings during a storm.. She is on RU-vid. It is all going to be okay. Namaste everyone!
