Send us a textIn this episode of the Curious Neuron podcast, I chat with therapist Travis Goodman about the rising concerns around addiction. We explore the importance of compassionate curiosity when approaching conversations about addiction, the role of the nervous system in addiction, and the necessity of managing personal emotions when dealing with loved ones struggling with addiction. The conversation emphasizes the need for connection and vulnerability as antidotes to shame and isolation often associated with addiction. In this conversation, Travis Goodman, LMFT, discusses the critical role of connection in healing from addiction, particularly for men. He emphasizes the importance of building support systems, whether through therapy or community, and the need for safe spaces where men can express vulnerability and accountability. The discussion also covers navigating denial in loved ones struggling with addiction, setting boundaries, and the significance of changing the narrative around addiction to foster understanding and empathy.Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/FDUyGUYBH5QResources:Follow Travis on Instagram @integratedmanprojectJoin the next cohort of the Men's Collective with Travis herePrivate coaching or counselling with Travis hereIn the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addiction hereEditorial: Human Connection as a Treatment for Addiction hereInterested in our 3 month program called The Reflective Parent Club?

Chapter 1 What's In The Realm Of Hungry Ghosts by M.D. Mate, Gabor"In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addiction" by Dr. Gabor Maté is a profound exploration of addiction, examining the complex interplay between psychological, social, and biological factors that contribute to this condition. Dr. Maté draws from his experiences working with drug addicts in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside, as well as his background in psychology and neuroscience. The book introduces the concept of 'hungry ghosts' as a metaphor for individuals struggling with addiction—living in a state of craving for something they can never satisfy. Dr. Maté emphasizes that addiction is not just a personal failing but a response to trauma, environmental influences, and an unmet desire for connection. Through personal stories and scientific insights, he advocates for a compassionate, understanding approach to treatment that addresses the root causes of addiction rather than merely focusing on abstinence. The book serves as both a poignant commentary on the failures of traditional treatment methods and a call to adopt more humane, integrative strategies in addressing addiction.Chapter 2 In The Realm Of Hungry Ghosts by M.D. Mate, Gabor SummarySummary of "In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts" by Dr. Gabor MatéIn "In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addiction," Dr. Gabor Maté, a physician specializing in addiction, mental health, and trauma, explores the complex realities of addiction through a compassionate lens. Drawing from both his clinical experience in treating drug addicts in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside and personal anecdotes, Maté delves into the psychological, social, and neurological underpinnings of addiction. Key Themes:Addiction as a Response to Pain: Maté argues that addiction is not merely a biological or moral failing but a response to deep emotional pain and trauma. He emphasizes that understanding the context of an individual's life is essential to comprehend their addiction.The Role of Childhood Trauma: The author highlights how early life experiences, particularly adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), significantly shape an individual's susceptibility to addiction. He illustrates how trauma can lead to patterns of behavior aimed at self-soothing or escape.The Neuroscience of Addiction: Maté explains the brain's role in addiction, discussing how substances modify brain functioning and the reward system. He stresses that addiction is a disease of the brain that can also be understood through a biopsychosocial perspective.Compassionate Approach: The book advocates for a compassionate approach to treatment, emphasizing empathy and understanding over criminalization and stigma. Maté calls for a shift in public policy regarding addiction, favoring treatment and social support over punishment.Connection and Belonging: Central to recovery from addiction, according to Maté, is the need for authentic connection and a sense of belonging. He argues that supportive relationships can be crucial for healing from trauma and addiction. Conclusion:Dr. Gabor Maté's "In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts" is not only a profound exploration of addiction but also a call for empathy and understanding towards those who suffer from it. By sharing stories of individuals entrenched in addiction, the book humanizes these experiences and urges readers to reconsider societal views on addiction, focusing on the underlying causes rather than the symptoms alone.Chapter 3 In The Realm Of Hungry Ghosts AuthorGabor Maté is a Canadian physician, author, and speaker known for his work on addiction, stress, and child development.

“Being truly conscious requires stepping back from compulsions and attachments - a change in the operating system. And sometimes we need a helping hand for that. We can't do it alone, nor should we have to.” For me, the healing, the coming home, starts with shame. And is currently seeped in gratitude. In this solo episode, I share my personal story woven together with words from wise teachers and thinkers.

“The question is not why the addiction, but why the pain.” — Dr. Gabor Maté Dr. Gabor Maté is a physician, public speaker, and bestselling author whose work has been translated into 30+ languages. For 20 years, Dr. Maté worked as a family doctor and palliative care director. He then spent 12 years in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside with patients challenged by hardcore drug addiction, mental illness, and HIV, including in North America's first Supervised Injection Site. His award-winning book on addiction, In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addiction, is used in universities globally. His most recent book, The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness and Healing in a Toxic Culture, is a New York Times bestseller and one of the best books I've ever read. In fact, if I could give one book to everyone on the planet to read, it would be this one. Dr. Maté is also an expert in childhood developmental issues, ADHD, mind/body health, trauma, and parenting — you're about to see why. In this episode: • Why the medical system is keeping us sick. • How schools are destroying our children's future – and what to do about it. • The role of trauma in bringing kindness and unity back to our society; and • How to prioritize healing and happiness in your daily routine. Let's WIN THE DAY with Dr. Gabor Maté! _

Hidden sources of stress — and how to beat them. Also: the myth of normal, the necessity of being disillusioned, and the disutility of comparing your suffering.Description: There's so much to be grateful for in modern medicine. We can all agree that we would not do as well in a world with no Advil or dentistry. And yet, our guest today, who is a renowned doctor, says modern medicine is overlooking something crucial: the pernicious impact that modern living has on our minds and bodies. In other words, we are surrounded by these hidden societal and structural sources of stress and we aren't thinking about how to treat and prevent these factors that are degrading our happiness and our immune systems. Dr. Gabor Maté is a bestselling author with an expertise on everything from stress to addiction to ADHD. His latest book is called, The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness, and Healing in a Toxic CultureContent Warning: This episode has mentions of child abuse, sexual trauma, suicide and addictionIn this episode we talk about:What he means by “the myth of normal”How diseases, such as autoimmune conditions, are an “artifact of civilization”How to begin to tackle what Dr. Maté calls, “the social sources of illness” His definition of trauma and the difference between “big T traumatic events” and the trauma of “wounding”How trauma in society is so normalized that we don't even recognize itWhether the term trauma is overusedWhy comparing suffering is a fruitless endeavor What he means by “the necessity to be disillusioned” The power and possibility of psychedelics Why he thinks we should incorporate shamanic medicine into our western medical frameworkAnd what he means by “undoing self-limiting beliefs” and how these beliefs show up in our everyday livesFull Shownotes: https://www.tenpercent.com/podcast-episode/gabor-mate-archiveWhere to find Gabor Maté online: Website: drgabormate.comSocial Media:TwitterFacebookInstagramYouTubeBooks Mentioned:The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness, and Healing in a Toxic CultureWhen the Body Says No: Exploring the Stress-Disease ConnectionScattered Minds: The Origins and Healing of Attention Deficit DisorderIn the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addiction Hold On to Your Kids: Why Parents Need to Matter More Than PeersOther Resources Mentioned:The Wisdom of Trauma Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Is Associated with Increased Risk of Ovarian Cancer: A Prospective and Retrospective Longitudinal Cohort StudyDecrease in depression symptoms is associated with longer survival in patients with metastatic breast cancer: a secondary analysisMarital Status, Marital Strain, and Risk of Coronary Heart Disease or Total Mortality: The Framingham Offspring StudyGeorge EngelHow spanking may affect brain development in childrenThe Trauma of Everyday Life by Dr. Mark EpsteinIntraConnected: MWe (Me + We) as the Integration of Self, Identity, and Belonging by Dr. Dan SiegelA.

This week, we take a look back at a conversation that Raghu had with Gabor Maté about trauma, desire, addiction, and getting honest with ourselves.In this remastered episode, Gabor explores these struggles through the lens of the Hungry Ghost Realm of saṃsāra.To learn more about all six realms of saṃsāra and the Wheel of Life in Buddhist tradition, check out this episode of the Mindrolling Podcast with Buddhist teacher, David Nichtern: Ep. 168 Awakening from the DaydreamGabor Maté is a renowned speaker and bestselling author. After 20 years of family practice and palliative care experience, Gabor worked for over a decade in Vancouver's Downtown East Side with patients challenged by drug addiction and mental illness. The bestselling author of four books published in over thirty languages, Gabor is sought after for his expertise on addiction, trauma, childhood development, and the relationship between stress and illness. His latest book, released in 2022, is titled the Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness & Healing in a Toxic Culture. In the Realm of Hungry GhostsGabor Maté has been exposed to so many patients suffering from addiction through his work as a doctor in Vancouver, BC, which has one of North America's worst drug abuse problems. He and Raghu discuss the connection between addiction, in its many forms, and what Buddhist philosophy refers to as the Hungry Ghost Realm.Healing Trauma, Breaking Addiction Gabor talks about the role of trauma in addiction. He shares his own traumatic experiences being a Jew born in Nazi-occupied Hungary. Raghu and Gabor also discuss the ways that trauma and suffering are handed down from parent to child.The Pursuit of Desire In his book In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addiction, Gabor writes about the drive behind addictions. He and Raghu discuss how the energetic charge behind addiction is more about desire than attainment.Equal Parts Honest and CompassionGabor examines how we can look at ourselves honestly and constructively by practicing compassionate inquiry.Psychology of Spiritual SeekingThe spiritual path is a way to transform some of the wounded natures that we all grow up with. Gabor speaks about this and the risks of spiritual materialism that come along with it.“The hungry ghosts are depicted as these creatures with large empty bellies and small scrawny necks with narrow gullets and small mouths. No matter what they do, they cannot ever fill that emptiness inside, and that relates to me as the realm of addiction.” – Dr. Gabor MatéSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Trauma Bonds and Addiction is part of a series where we discuss topics and/or questions submitted by our listeners. In this episode, we're discussing: 1. The longstanding concept that drugs, alcohol, and other types of addictions can be a way to feel more in touch with Self/Source and numb the feelings of inadequacy 2. How safety in chosen relationships can initially come from a place of societal conditioning of needing/longing to be accepted and fit in, and how we can dig deeper to examine how our subconscious mind relates to others 3. The possibility that all chosen relationships have some form of trauma bond stemming from our Original Wound that we are separate from Self/Source If you have a question or topic you'd like us to address, we would love to hear from you for our new Q+A series!

I received two listener emails this week that ripped my heart open. One was struggling with addiction, and the other was devastated by a recent heartbreak. These voicemails reminded me of why I started my podcast in the first place, so I decided to record this episode. It is a love letter to the person at rock bottom. The person who is so heartbroken, they feel like they can't go on—the person questioning if they even want to be on this earth anymore. Through the words of authors who have inspired me and gotten me through my own dark times, it is my hope that this episode can be a light in the darkness. If it inspires just one person to keep fighting, it will have all been worth it.

Welcome back to Therapy Chat! As we continue our exploration of the mind-body connection in trauma recovery, we have another episode on this topic. In today's podcast host Laura Reagan revisits an earlier episode speaking to Dr. Gabor Maté. Dr. Maté is the co-founder of Compassion for Addiction, a non-profit that focuses on addiction. He is also an advisor of Drugs over Dinner. As an author, Dr. Maté has written several bestselling books including the award-winning In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addiction; When the Body Says No: The Cost of Hidden Stress; and Scattered Minds: A New Look at the Origins and Healing of Attention Deficit Disorder, and co-authored Hold on to Your Kids. His works have been published internationally in twenty languages. For twelve years Dr. Maté worked in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside with patients challenged by hard-core drug addiction, mental illness and HIV, including at Vancouver's Supervised Injection Site. With over 20 years of family practice and palliative care experience and extensive knowledge of the latest findings of leading-edge research, Dr. Maté is a sought-after speaker and teacher, regularly addressing health professionals, educators, and lay audiences throughout North America. Dr. Maté explains the connection between childhood traumatic stress at any point in development - even in utero - and mental and physical health and well-being. Beyond a discussion of ACES, he describes the causes of illness and how trauma fits in. Did you know that ADD/ADHD, MS, Prostate cancer, ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) and many other diseases, as well as addictions of all kinds are linked to trauma? Gabor's books, In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts, Scattered, and When the Body Says No go into depth with the research to support his assertions.

We confront some increasingly common dimensions of depression, how these can affect magical practice, and a magical antidote in the tarot, exploring along the way: the Buddha on distractions and addictions; Gabor Maté on addiction as a relationship; how anything can become addictive; torpor, ennui, apathy: words for an enemy to our practice; Mark Fisher's “depressive hedonia”; some examples; promised rather than actual fulfilment; magick itself as an impediment to practice; profit from distraction; community as a corrective; the example of education; how consumerism thrives on distraction; resistance of control as a refusal to discipline or motivate ourselves; depressive hedonia as an understandable reaction; depressive hedonism as endemic; pleasure we did not choose to seek; the ecological crisis and the COVID pandemic; "bouncing along the bottom"; magicians as possibly more prone than others; a personal example; depressive hedonia as a defence that bolsters the ego; pessimism as a form of addiction; respect for resistance; difficulty and struggle as signs of progress; results from daily tarot divination; XV The Devil as a depiction of depressive hedonia; XIV Temperance (reversed); the major arcana as an anatomy of change; a tarot sequence applied to history and COVID; XIV (reversed) as a depiction of what is needed; Meditations on the Tarot, by Anonymous; the angel and the flowing water; St Bernard on “the divine image” versus “the divine likeness”; the angel on XIV as the guardian angel; the guardian angel as ally of the divine image; why the angel does not shield us from suffering; depression as a signal that we need our angel; the angel as mother-figure; the angel as protector of the divine likeness; the contact between image and likeness as “inner weeping”; the “water” on XIV as tears; depressive hedonia as the inverse of XIV; emotional intensity as the antidote to depressive hedonia; Steiner's spiritual faculties: imagination, inspiration, and intuition; XIV as inspiration; inspiration as paradoxical activity and passivity; the behaviour of children as a template: humility and presumption; magick as a combination of humility and hubris; “to dare, to will, and to know”; Adam Phillips on “the desire for a desire”; inspiration as “the desire of a desire”.
