Six powerful lectures with Dr. Gabor Maté
Each lecture explores a key part of Gabor’s work, including trauma, addiction, compassion, attachment, self-disclosure, childhood stress, and the mind-body connection.
The Power of Connection & The Myth of Normal
Gabor connects early childhood trauma, household stress, parental wounds, societal pressure, and environmental stress to physical and emotional health. He explores how curiosity can help us better understand ourselves, our clients, and the roots of disease, addiction, and disconnection.
The Mind-Body Connection
Explore how the mind influences physiology and how early experiences shape perception. Gabor shows how helping clients reframe early survival-based messages can change behavior, relationships, psychology, and emotional patterns.
The Five Levels of Compassion
Gabor describes the five levels of compassion and the inner blocks that can prevent professionals from reaching deep attunement. By exploring these blocks, healers can develop greater understanding, presence, and regard for their clients.
Compassion and Understanding
Learn how to navigate the balance between therapeutic boundaries and appropriate self-disclosure. Gabor explores how thoughtful self-disclosure can deepen empathy, connection, and therapeutic attunement.
Stress and Trauma on the Developing Child
This lecture examines codependency, self-judgment, and emotional wounds in the healer. Gabor shows how awareness and self-compassion can help professionals recognize how their own patterns may appear in their work.
The Role of Attachment from Birth to Adulthood
