How Your Emotions Can Literally Make You Sick! | Dr. Gabor Maté 

Thank you for this clip and I also enjoyed the full episode 🙂

Bro Jogan!

F em, you don't need your parents anymore...stand tall!

Once you get to the place where you don’t feel the urge to send videos, articles, books, “fill in the blank” to the “others” who are what you see as the source of the problem…then you can actually take action that helps YOU. Trying to convince others of their behavior, or change them, is actually an avoidance tactic…subconsciously. It is our avoidance of one of the biggest aspects of healing. The vulnerable admittance of the loss, the grief, and really taking in the reality that certain people cannot, will not, show up as we need/want. We cannot heal until we hold space for this and see it clearly. Until then, we waste our time, in a war against reality, trying to get others to be something different than they are! Once we see what is…we can take action to attend to ourselves, show up for ourselves, including accepting all of our feelings and struggles. Doing for ourselves what our parents couldn’t. No one will show up and save us. We need to be our own advocates and do the work. Anything else is a distraction, avoidance of feeling the pain, disappointment.

None of it is new...it's all been said by others.

I can't imagine the suffering the people of Rwanda have been facing since that horrible massacre years ago. Knowing about my own traumatic past it doesn't surprise me when I think of certain African cultures and how "emotionless" they seem because many in Africa have been through hell that we here in the West can't even begin to understand. I don't dismiss what I have been through because it has been devastating but when I see some of the people I have met or heard of from places like Rwanda or elsewhere where it's been hell on earth then I can see why they come off that way. Truly sad indeed.

Yeah, right...he is merely repeating what others have said before him, and taking all the credit 🙁

Added those books to my wish list 🙂

Thank you!!

The body definitely keeps the score. That's why the rates of autoimmune disease, cancer and heart disease is markedly higher for those who have experienced long term stress, such as from abuse or caregiving for a sick or disabled person.

Then it is unhealthy anger.

Yep, he's not the best orator.

Because media does not speak about these concepts - our brains are rusty and un-educated in trauma.

Blacks too. Women in shame culture countries.

CBT apparently does not know this and pumps out the wrong information to the socially anxious since 1990s.

You're right on...he is after all a traumatist, so everything is caused by trauma.

I never picked up that he feels trauma is the cause of all disease. However trauma is his specialty, so it makes sense that he would discuss that in detail.

It's a biological need, however, if it's in excess, some emotion is underlying it.

Maybe stoned 😅

Yes, but it's not new information.

@@robynhope219 For those who have just come across it, it is "new information"..My "Specialist" Doctors and Nurses could have never have told me this in a million years

@@robynhope219but many doesn't know about it though

Pardon?

Look up Harvard psychologist Chris Palmer keto /carnivore diet is doing more for mental illness than any of their therapies and it’s not even close
