    Gabor weaves together the role of early childhood trauma, difficulties and stresses in the household, the wounds that parents carry and inadvertently pass on to their children, as well as societal and environmental stresses. Drawing on well-documented research in biochemistry, neurology, and physiology, Gabor ‘connects the dots’ in explaining how these factors influence us and contribute to asthma, heart disease, hypertension, diseases of the gut, cancers, addiction and more. He invites us to use curiosity to explore and understand ourselves and our clients, and through this new understanding, paints a path to begin making the fundamental societal change that can positively impact the next generation.
  • Part Two: Exploring The Mind-Body Connection

    Part Two: Exploring The Mind-Body Connection

    • 51 Minutes
    Gabor explores how the mind influences our physiology, and how our perceptions create our world, but before that, our world influences the creation of our perceptions. When we help our clients to rewrite early messages, not changing what happened, but understanding it as a necessary decision for survival, we can change our current perceptions and behaviors. This impacts physiology, psychology, relationships, and virtually all of our perceptions of the world. By learning how to use a combination of tools and techniques to educate and reach our clients, we enhance our capacity to reach them. At the most basic, fully accepting and embracing compassion for our clients with unconditional positive regard — which requires looking at our own self-judgments and wounds — opens up a new and much deeper capacity for healing with our clients.
  • Part Three: The Five Levels of Compassion

    Gabor describes the five levels of compassion, and the blocks within us as professionals that often keep us from reaching the deepest and most profound attunement with our clients, which, in turn, limits our ability to do our best work. By unpacking and exploring these blocks — which even the most experienced therapists and counselors, with decades of self-work can benefit from — we heal ourselves, and in so doing, find greater understanding and deeper regard for our clients and their stories and wounds.

    Gabor explores the common fears around self-disclosure and the balance between appropriate client-therapist boundaries, on the one hand, and the benefits of deeper empathic connection that can come from appropriate self-disclosure that enhances therapeutic attunement by deepening empathy.
  • Part Five: Stress & Trauma on the Developing Child

    Part Five: Stress & Trauma on the Developing Child
    • A Masterclass For Healers Training
    • March 29, 2020
    • 65 Minutes
    An exploration of our own wounds of codependency and how, even when we are self-aware, these behaviors can show up in our work enable us to explore and, with curiosity and self-compassion, understand where these behaviors might be hiding in our work, where they came from, and how we can bring greater awareness to them. Even most therapists with decades of self-exploration will gain new insights that can enable a deepened sense of connection with clients, with a clearer understanding of how our wounds get in the way of doing our best work. By understanding our own self-judgments and practicing self-compassion in letting them go, we free ourselves to do better work.

    Part Six: Brain Science, Physiology, & the Role of Attachment From Birth to Adulthood

    • A Masterclass For Healers Training
    • April 5, 2020
    • 55 Minutes
    Gabor explores why he does not view addiction as a disease of the brain, and how compelling evidence points to traumas and other experiences early in life set the stage for survival strategies that impact the development of neural pathways that ultimately lead to not only risk of addiction, but many other psychological disorders and even physical diseases. By understanding what addictive behaviors do for us — finding the underlying pain, solving the pain in one way or another that we have experienced — and changing these patterns we developed, cultivating attunement not only in the therapeutic environment, but in a client’s daily life, we can re-pattern and change the function of the brain and replace the ineffective strategies and behaviors with more effective ones. A discussion of the neurotransmitter and brain pathways that are involved helps provide a clear biochemical basis for the origin of the problems and offers hope for long-term change.

    • 40 Minutes
    In this episode, we look at addiction and its impact on us, both individually and as part of a family or group of loved ones. Dr. Gabor Maté's approach to addiction requires thinking about ourselves and our experiences differently than we have in the past. Gabor introduces us to a new look at addiction and trauma.

    • 48 Minutes
    Gabor asks us to deeply examine how trauma is passed from one generation to the next. The experiences we have as children stay with us as adults. We heal, and we change our behaviors, only when we become aware of how our traumas have affected us.

    • Healing Trauma & Addiction
    • July 27, 2021
    • 32 Minutes
    Dr. Gabor Maté expands the discussion on how the desire to self-medicate discomfort drives addiction. We explore how early childhood experiences affect the development of impulse control and brain pathways that drive addictive behaviors. We then discuss how we break the cycle of addiction as it is passed down through families. But first we must fundamentally understand if addiction is a disease or a development disorder.
  • Ending The Cycle of Addiction

    Dr. Maté dives deeper into addressing what’s needed to support the healing of the person struggling with addiction. We look at the family and loved ones in that person’s life, and their roles. We revisit family relationships and codependency, and learn athe practices that help heal the addicted brain. Gabor expands on learning longer-term steps to heal the harm that has come about (on all sides) as a result of the addiction and the underlying trauma that caused it.

    The best online training by Dr. Gabor Maté or anyone that I have ever participated in. Dr. Maté has completely shifted how I view myself as a therapist. I highly recommend to anyone who works with people - in any capacity (therapist, teacher, police officer, even corporate management). I recently learned of Dr. Maté when I saw his free talk: "The Power of Connection". I found him captivating. Then I saw the latest documentary "Wisdom of Trauma", a beautifully shot movie that unfortunately completely misses the key perspectives of Gabor's work, and does a complete disservice to the brilliance of his mind and uniqueness of his perspective. I recently saw an internet broadcast where the founder of Wholehearted.org was a co-host. He explained Dr. Maté's professional work so eloquently and profoundly that I decided to sign up for the Masterclass program. This is the best professional and personal development experience I have ever had. I will encourage my peers to take this program! Thank you Wholehearted.org, you're a precious resource.

    This is exceptional on so many levels.Gabor cuts through the theoretical minefield of research on trauma making it not only easier to make sense of, but easier to work with in the therapy room. His work on stage with the audience members is powerful to watch and relatable, in terms of how you could make practical use of these techniques in therapy. Absolutely brilliant training!
