I'm living that now in Mexico. The US life was killing me spiritually, emotionally, and eventually physically.

@@luchiayoung Very Happy for you! I'll be following in a few years 😃

Find Dr Berg on KZfaq

Nothing wrong with you. You survived an attack on your soul. Blessings

Susan Alwill. God bless you. At least ur aware of ur abuse and are acknowledging it and listening to Dr Mate’. Read his books also. Dr Mark is such an aware person and I congratulate him for being aware regarding childhood trauma and how this takes a huge toll on all of us unless we acknowledge it and aware enough that we need recovery work.

Your story is identical to mine. They now say my fibromyalgia is psoriasis arthritis. It was initially started with mold but also trauma. That diet is good but if you are eating high fat meats that can lead to further problems. Key is sugar intake!

carnivore is the way to heal yourself. Good luck!

Insurance won't pay for that!!! Feed people pharmaeuticals, insurance pays.

Houndmother same experience for me. I volunteered the fact of my childhood trauma right away with therapists and psychiatrists. Still though I stopped seeing them. I even experienced some emotional abuse from therapists. Ty for sharing here.

​@@luchiayoung The psych 'meds'(neuro-toxins) in these drugs cripple and kill people. Especially benzodiazepenes, anti- psychotics, and anti- depressants! The BS about the 'chemical-imbalance' in the brain was debunked DECADES AGO, yet Big Harma is in denial and continues to PUSH these poisons thru primary care drs, and psychiatrists. Big Pharma can AFFORD the lawsuits. They bring in billions of $$$ a year. They are chemically lobotomizing thousands, if not millions of unwitting patient. Electro Convulsive 'Therapy'. Yes the American "humane" clean sister to Nazi 'experiments'. I speak for myself, as the horrific side effects that made me feel so horrible and sick, I would give ANYTHINGto go back to where I was before I trusted my 'mental' problems to a psychiatrist in the 1980's! The akasthesia and anhedonia have driven me to several suicide attempts. They prescribe this crap to young children. It just turns people into zombies. Tardive dyskinesia in my face and diaphragm. Can't do deep breathing exercise. At least 80 different adverse side effects, including stomach cramps, constipation, nausea, vomiting, severe indigestion, major headaches, brain fog, insomnia, irritability, hostility, parasthesia, neuropathy, parkinsonism, memory loss. inability to focus and concentrate, work, drive, delusions, hallucinations, paranoia, horrific nightmares, and intrusive thoughts that scare the hell out of me. It is indescribable HELL. Treating childhood trauma as a mental illness. Psychiatry, from personal experience is an INDUSTRTRY of DEATH!. If ACE's were eliminated, there would be no Psychiatry. No psychiatrist EVER asked me what happened to me in childhood. It was HELL. Multi generational domestic violence, including incest, rape of family members, yelling, hitting,. Just sick, sick sick!. I thought everyone's families were like mine. It was all I knew. My 'normal'. Never had a 'healthy' relationship with anyone. Then to be further victimized by the healthcare industry with their 'diagnoses', of mental 'disorders'. This is CRIMINAL, what psychiatrists are doing. They will not acknowledge it, but blame it on their patients 'mental disorder'. The stigma of labels is humiliating. Sorry, I need to vent. I never was a 'fan' of Jordan Peterson, but I am thankful that his mental disintegration from benzodiazepines has brought national attention to what these drugs do to people. The man is losing his mind! He is sick and needs to stop his practice. I have 0 respect for him. He never should have been a clinical psychologist. He was NOT a 'good enough' father.imo. He used corporal punishment on his toddler son!. A hypocrite. He told people to leave abusive relationship, and he was an abuser! Out of his own mean, angry mouth. I think the healthcare system has a lot of sicko abusers 'treating' clients and patients, some who are more 'sicker' than the people they 'help'. Some therapists do even further harm. Just my humbling opinion. I have been humbled and crippled for life! THIS NEEDS TO STOP!. I doubt it will. Why? $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$!

wait....but YOU HAD THE BEST HEALTH CARE SYSTEM....IN the WORLD!! (sorry for accenting this in your comment!) This line really got to me...at the beg. of the video!

Bingo

Amen! The stinking bastards, it’s all about money to them!

We should not waste time blaming others.We should be aware of others planning to help their devious thinking.It is we who are responsible to work hard,understand what is going on,do not blame doctors please as we were not taught prevention of diseases,nutrition,healthy life style.Simply the subjects were overwhelming to study biology,chemistry,biochemistry,physics,pathology,physiology ,pharmacology,Latin,and all branches of medicine .When we qualify after 6 years we know nothing.Fisrt we learn from face to face with patients,continuous education,our patients feedback was our teaching.Our modern Westren medicine is good for emergencies and when disease developed.Another branch of medicine should be to teach what healthy life style is ,supported by the governments,political policies,teaching even primary school children to know nature,sunlight,clean water,healthy food,sleep,excercises and stop putting machines which sell sugars in hospital.in Germany a patient surgeon had cardiac surgery his hospital food was two slices of white bread,butter,and all unhealthy food.

Ok

Thank you for an excellent insightful comment. "If we cant in the moment express the hurt, if there is no compassionate witness to our pain, no one who says sorry - then we swallow the pain and the wound goes deeper" So it is important to be aware of this and when such hurt occurs, it is important to have developed tools that have soothed us in previous hurts. And then to keep using these tools to soothe whatever the present hurt is.

@@thebusybee7080 excellent follow-through …. develop tools so that we can process our own hurts, as and when they occur. Who better to do the job! No need for storing up pain, even when there’s no one around. I actually did this the other day, after an incident with a family member, I was upset and called a friend, she wasn’t there, I called round to another and she wasn’t there, so I went for a walk, listened to some music, and processed the whole thing myself. I think I shed a few tears as I walked, but I know I felt fine afterwards and I just know I haven’t stored up anything that’s likely to come back and haunt me. So a long walk, a meditation or some breathwork could be useful tools. I’m sure there are many more, it’s a matter of finding something that works for you. Thanks for sharing 😃

I agree we all have hurts. We are a broken people... Sinful. The LORD God heals hurt, broken, sinful people. His Name is Jesus!

Love your comment on power of peacefulness in healing one’s self

Both men are a total wealth of knowledge! Great discussion

I think that there's something about Gabor Mate that makes you open up. If I sat with him for an hour or two talking, I'd sing like a canary. A vulnerable canary.

@@sazennonumberthis is true about Gabor and Mark is open and vulnerable. I’ve seen how open Mark is in other interviews.

For me, watching these men and other good wellness/mental health professionals has helped me far more than going to Therapy in the last 20 years.

Ditto❤❤

👏

Yes! I learned to regulate nervous system at 61years old with 2 sessions of TM- transcendental meditation --2x’s a day--- thank goodness I didn’t get married and have progeny🙏🏽🤗🪺 I would have repeated my childhood…. Ugh

That’s so true. It’s not until my forties when I was learning occupational therapy I learned nervous system

Wonderful comment!

Indeed...fight or flight since birth!

Diana, well done for taking that step and beginning the process of understanding and communicating with your body. I am 66 and I started yoga 7 years ago for physical and emotional help. I continue to practice everyday; it has been beneficial on many levels. I also recommend finding someone who practices the EMDR trauma healing method. There is most likely a root cause for your colitis that stems from trauma from many, many, years ago. I found this modality to be very helpful in dealing with trauma from early childhood. Lending energy to your healing process.

@@atticuskilby515 Thank you. Actually, I am an EMDR therapist- and I have a training coming up in February which includes personal work. And yes, I know I need to focus on this.. I know where in my childhood I disconnected from my body- I hadn’t put it together with the colitis before- then I heard Gabor Maté talking about chronic illness and now “I’m on it” as they say. Thanks for your support and helpful advice 😊

I don't know if you'll read this, but in case you do, you gave some hope to a 23 year old in the same situation. I've been wondering why pain has always been the least noticeable symptom for me, despite a horrible flare where my disease progressed to pancolotis, until I realized my body stored it. Breaking out of constant dissociation, although it resurfaces, has made it easier to listen to my body. With all of that said, I hope you're feeling better and remain in remission. Healing is hard in itself, perhaps more so when your own body can attack you, but we're not alone.

@@fatjesusonbike1276 Thank you for getting in touch. Gabor has a few books/audiobooks- his latest “the Myth of Normal” was about the childhood need for connection but longer term health risks of tuning into the needs of others and not wanting to disappoint others at the expense of your own needs and inability to express anger.. but his book “when the body says ‘no’ “ was also hard to read because it resonated. His “no” exercise was soo helpful.. he discusses a lot of it in interviews on KZfaq- it was much easier for me to take it in small youtube sized doses than read the book- I’m going pretty well- by 4 months post colectomy I was travelling to Greece solo and making up my own mind how I wanted to spend my days- it was a fantastic experience to feel like the architect of my own days.. haha.. It’s a journey for me but I think I’m better at saying no, more comfortable with disappointing other people and I go dancing regularly- and-not when I’m tired. I’m better at asking for help when I need it. It’s a journey, but looking after myself AND others was a big shift. Thank you again for saying my journey was helpful to you. I must have written that post a few days after getting out of hospital because I went to my EMDR intensive about a week after discharge.. I’m going OK. Good luck with yours, it’s a big adjustment x

I wish you back to good health..don’t stress yourself with worrying about not being able to find someone to help you. Just focus on staying positive and soon you’ll see how your helper will come to you

You have to look online, Iam sure you have already🙂, maybe look into “shrooms” there a places online that will walk you through micro dosing them, it’s definitely not cheap. All the best to you!

I am sorry to hear of all that you have been through. EMDR is an amazingly helpful therapy to treat trauma, as is PSYCH-K ❤️

@@JulesBeehive this is a great recommendation EMDR changed my life!

I have heald my trauma using Neurocycle, created by Dr. Caroline Leaf. It's slow and very thorough self care which I feel comfortable recommending. I wish you health!

So very true!

So you don't pass on that trauma.

You have to have good health if you are going to be able to help others! 🙏🏻🤗

Totally agree - good mental health must always begin with self-love, self-care and self-compassion, it then flows naturally to those around you, effortlessly.

Stay on track with Dr Mate’.

I’m so sorry that you feel like this. You are loved by he who you were made in his image. Please believe that you can change how you feel by changing how you think. God bless

Agree, they have put SO much thought into human problems, and have suffered themselves... that's how they are so "in tune" with it all. Have you seen Dr. Hyman's video talk where he considers the problems that have come from our modern way of life ? Particularly " Big Pharma" ( profit based), climate change, and intensive farming, water....... I was surprised to hear that global warming could be reversed if Regenerative Farming were the norm....🙂 ( Sorry , can't recall the actual title of the video ).... Dr. Hyman and Dr. Mate have given the best of themselves to help people, and I hope they feel really good for all they have done : 🦉 Very productive, useful, well-lived lives. despite their earlier difficulties.🦉🙂. Greetings from England. 🇬🇧💕🇺🇲☀️🦉🙂🥀🐎🦉
