I’m embarrassed to admit If never heard of this Guru. I’ll give this is listen. Am in for a treat?

Catherine Esperanza

Yes!!!! Thank you so much for covering this guy. I cannot express how often I hear other therapists and laypeople recommend his books or believe pseudoscientific things because of him (namely that ADHD is a trauma response, not a disorder with a strong genetic risk factor, so you need to heal the trauma in order to treat ADHD). Meanwhile he loves epigenetics, but has no idea how they actually work and spreads a ton of misinformation about epigenetics that I also hear from other therapists. Russell Barkley who is actually a rigorous ADHD researcher (now retired) has a video on Gabor Mate and his comments on that video also provide some good information too: https://youtu.be/bO19LWJ0ZnM?feature=shared

He was also on Joe Rogan’s podcast too around the same time as his DOAC interview (where he mentions that “ADHD is neither a disease nor it is heritable”

Catherine Esperanza

(For context, I’m in my last year of a school psychology doctoral program with a strong focus on evidence-based practice and research. I’m doing my internship/residency in a child trauma clinic, providing evidence-based therapy. (I see a lot of pseudoscientific influence from van der Kolk and Maté in a Clinic that supposedly provides evidence-based services.) I’ve done behavioral interventions for caregivers and their kids with ADHD. And for the people who say “well you don’t get it unless you’ve experienced it,” I have ADHD myself and experienced significant childhood abuse. And go figure, just like the research indicates, treating PTSD didn’t treat my ADHD, I still have adult ADHD. Sure, experiencing early childhood abuse likely affected my brain development leading to the executive functioning deficits seen in ADHD (aside from the genetic risk from my mother), but treating the PTSD didn’t fix my ADHD haha.)

Nice, glad you guys are covering him. I think I suggested Garbor Mate a while back!

Hands up who wants to see 3 hour debate between Mate and Dr K on whether everything hinges on trauma or dosha type 🥸🤓

Sam D.

Omg I'm SO glad you are doing this! Especially around his commentary around ADD, and addiction. As someone who worked as a psychotherapist many years, hearing this quality of discourse was SO common. And many sound sensible things just blended in with wild mis-statements (that's not quite the word but I'm in the US and drinking tequila because of the election). Such a case of getting outside your lane.

Daniel Mate, who co-wrote his Dad’s last book, calls himself a ‘mental chiropractor’.

Linda Sears

He is definitely better than Dr. K, which is a relief. His view that childhood traumas have effects that therapy can help with isn’t controversial. But I am skeptical of his claims that conditions like arthritis or ADHD are caused by unresolved trauma.

DJ Wearing

I recommend his interview on James O'Brien's podcast. I've listened to many of his interviews but this one has a lot of background details that I've not heard elsewhere, especially about his career before becoming a famous author.

Neil DH

Not sure if Varoufakis has been considered before. I enjoyed his recent book — Technofeudalism.

Charlie

His son aaron maté is a bit of a tankie

Jean-François Melançon

After watching a part of the interview as an introduction to Mate, I have to admit that I find him riveting. I somewhat knew in advance that my early opinion would be very positive, so normally I would avoid watching an interview with someone like Mate. I know I am not equipped to make an informed, critical opinion about the information that is presented and it might influence me in erroneous ways. This is why I am so glad that DTG is covering him. I know that I'm going to learn and be challenged. So, thank you Matt and Chris!

Is it my childhood our yours?

Mate is definitely one of the gurus I have fallen for in the past, until I gradually had a few “wait, what?” moments. He definitely has the feel of someone who really knows what they are talking about and then makes leaps to some pretty bizarre conclusions.

Hanz Bauge

Did he really think he recalled a memory from his infant stage at the start og this conversation, or was it what he now think he tought at that point of time?
