Psychedelic Therapy, with Gabor Mate 

"The greatest insight and life experiences lead you no where unless you integrate them" - Wow what a statement.

"The problem with addiction isn't the pain but our inability to bear it." THIS!

Gabors advice helped save my life. He should be advising the WHO and the rest of the crooks

"The plant shows you what your running from" - Wonderful

I agree with what Dr. Mate says whole heartedly I have used psilocybin hundreds of times in my life with no adverse effects. If you haven’t ever used it and would like to. I recommend you do it with friends that have. I enjoy it by walking in woods or walk on the beach in safe calm setting. Sitting around a campfire with friends is also very enjoyable for me. I do not recommend the use of alcoholic beverages with psilocybin. Please drink water. I find the experience very grounding. Funny how something from the ground can be so grounding. 😊

I've been using psilocybin, solo, for many years now and although I am intrigued by using psychedelics in the ceremonial group setting, I find the social aspect of things very challenging. I attended a Holotropic breathwork workshop a little while back and found speaking to the group, before and after the breathwork, was utterly terrifying- more so than writhing on the floor submerged in my unconscious.

Doctor Gabor Maté. He's more than earned the prefix.

Very, very interesting. I would like more content from Gabor Mate.

5:02 - The risk is really only that if people have experiences they can't handle and leave them unmoored.

"Addiction is all about running away" That's why I believe psychedelics is the way to force you to encounter what you're running away from and find healing.

Such a wonderful man! He looks exhausted I hope he’s ok! 🙏

Best channel on youtube imo. Thank you!

Gabor presents an easy balance between the cognitive mind and the mystical esoteric experience. Psychology, biology, mysticism...these factors CAN work together! Thanks for arranging these insightful interviews!!

Gabor is my hero!!!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Thank you for this. Great respect.

Very interesting. I've used never psychedelics. For me revelations came through extraordinary dreams I had for a period of time, including lucid dreams, showing that we are much more than what this little life in this little body seems to be about. I'm still processing this stuff...

My dad was Los Angeles Sheriff Detective and I have a paper that was written on the "LSD DISCOVERY AN ACCIDENT" IT DOES not say who the Author is. But Peter J. Pitches who was Sheriff then. Los Angeles County Sheriff's Dept. 1966. The title letter does state it was compiled and prepared by LASD. March 1966.The cover letter states, "A new and startlingly menacing stigma for mankind is LSD. Whispering tales and shouting headlines have dramatized the effects of LSD, a mystery drug so potent that a single pound of the preparation could turn every person in Los Angeles County into a psychotic. " It appears I only have up to page four, but there rest may be in boxes. Anywho, I'm just commenting. How do you even find a therapist, like in San Diego, that is doing this? Thx. Been listening you Gabor Mate'. I'm an adoptee who's had devastating adoption reunions. And I do want to get back into therapy at some point. Till then I'm writing a book on my own personal progress with Self Discovery. Your studies have helped me a lot. Thxxx

Most of my repressed memories resurfaced sitting on meditation cushions. Our Mother & step father were absolute malevolent malicious dragons though. They really got a charge/aroused out of humiliation & punishment. The more I process these resurfaced repressed/ suppressed memories and experiences, the more my anxiety diminishes. #GaborMate has helped so much.

absolutely love gabor mate :)....

Thanks for sharing this 🙏

Amazing insights. Thank you Dr. Maté.

Beautiful and insightful. Mindfulness is an essential piece for integrating such powerful glimpses 🙏♥️

I had a photograph I've seen 440 times, in one moment, a few years, open up my subconscious. To trauma that I never was conscious of. From my childhood. Because I've been active in Self-Discovery for five years. Re: my abandonment and adoption. But LSD, wow.

Brilliant.

I am so glad this man was annoyed by so many questions that he felt impelled to discover for himself. The insights this man has have helped me many times, including now. he's helped me make connections i otherwise wouldnt have (which have brought UP alot of pain -urrgghhh XD but ultimately lead to more healing)

Also "Mad To Be Normal" is a movie that touches on this. "During the 1960s, a renegade Scottish psychiatrist courts controversy within his profession for his approach to the field, and for the unique community he creates for his patients to inhabit."

Brilliant!!! 💖 💖

Can I ask someone please I have been going through trauma counselling and addiction therapy for years it has helped a little but I keep relapsing back into addiction I hate it I just want to be useful in life I good person but my life just keeps getting ruined by addiction! I have been clean and sober for 1 year again now but I have been on an opioid blocker 4 a few months but I have the option to take the beautiful plant in a safe place with beautiful people who have over 12 years of working with the plants. Can I still drink the plant while coming off the buvidal blocker?

At 28:37 Gabor Mate says: "When I ask people what does the addiction give you and they'll say comfort, peace of mind, connection with others, sense of control, power - well those are the genuine qualities that people not only want but actually have, but because of the false personality we lost contact with them." In what way those people "actually have" those qualities?

What ‘s the best way to find a guide for any of this?

This is fascinating. Hopefully I get to see psychs used to their full potential in my lifetime. I had a very life changing and powerful experience on a high dose of Mushrooms. I wish to pursue a career in helping people and maybe one day using psychs to help people like they have helped me. Hope everyone is staying safe. 🤙

indeed

Set (ie mindset), setting + shaman

My only option to clear off 2 decades of Methadone with Psychedelics, now, is to facilitate it alone or if able(available) someone whos willing to risk some vulnerability in contacting me and starting a conversation. Thats often far more than people are willing to sacrifice. Weak. Im weak as well, yet recognizing it accepting it and progressing past it is where Im heading. Psilocybin or Ibogaine will be the tools I likely use. The second being more difficult to obtain.

The reason psilocybin treats depression is because it suppresses the Default Mode Network, which is responsible for habitual rumination.

15:00 is being dependent on yoga ok? He sounded pretty down on dependency earlier.

what was the name of the guy Gabor mentions as an influence, couldnt quite catch it?

psilocybin ismy favorite psychedelic, i feel it is stronger than LSD but doesnt last as long, also it is more visualy psychedelic, it also has a long history of human use,so we know it is physicaly non toxic, or very low in toxins..........it is the most profound experience i have had.

@26:49 who is that? What's his name?

Is there a reason you did not put "Dr." in front of Gabor Mate?

Long ago listened the local radio ( jazz time ) after the interview in logic of jazz language / do you do yoga ? (this artist is from India ) No ! : he said in my country native people doesn’t .

can you tell me the name of the person that you are talking about that talks about the false personality ?

21:07 gang ✔️ gang ✔️ gang ✔️ gang ✔️ gang ✔️

at 26:14, they mention the name of an author, "aaach aaamas", something like this. Google is not very helpful, somebody could enlighten me with the correct spelling please?

I really admire and like this doctor so much, and have read his books! However, I will echo what some others on her have posted: I don't think it is accurate that people were "jumping off of buildings" when using LSD; I think this was PCP (angel dust).

Gabor has such cute sad puppy dog eyes and face, I like to ruffle his hair and feed him dog biscuits whilst he talks about trauma and psychedelics.

Has Dr. Gabor Mate' helped adoptees with tragic trauma?

will psiloscybin heal my alcoholism?

'Life is its own meaning' is a facinating answer the the meaning of life question. It's very similar to 'life is universe/eturnity observing itself'. I dont know who coined that phrase. Not having had a psy-ex in decades, I think the meaning of life is to produce progressing life (have and teach your own offspring). What is the progression of natural selection that does not destroy natural selection, yet alleviates suffering? We need to progress to answer that question. Using reason and evidence is the only way to progress, that will not destory thought. Reconfiguring sociey to a more emotional system is not progress. It is the most dangerous anti-progress movement descised as progress in the all history. We go to war over emotios. It is gaining traction today.

Talk about dosed up doc

I'm pretty sure the dutch government would welcome neuroscientists willing to work on psychedelics.

Gabor is good. Except when he is childishly and ideologically attacking Jordan Peterson, but he is human, of course. Would love to see those two talk, particularly about the etiology of suffering as related to addiction, because very distinct ontologies are present in their work regarding these issues, with Peterson presenting a Stoic view that actually lines up with much of what is folkloric in the 12 step programs (though nothing in those programs is ideologically uniform because of the intentionally disorganized nature of these "entities") and Mate dovetailing with a lot of the post-60's humanist maternalistic nurture-based ideologies that are accepted almost blindly by the mainstream liberal secular hoi polloi.

Just like how alcohol let's us see what's inside of us too. Well maybe not "just" like, but you know what I mean.

what the fuck ??? you can't change the interviewer in the middle like that....that's insane...

GABOR Mate's is a wacko himself!!! Such a nut case!!! 😨😲😣

For me its either low dose phycadelics or antidepressants ill definitely look into them
