A Wholehearted Masterclass with Dr. Gabor Maté
This is not just a course. It is a guided journey into the heart of suffering and the possibility of healing, led by one of the world’s most compassionate and trusted teachers, Dr. Gabor Maté.
Healing Trauma & Addiction is the most complete expression of Dr. Maté’s life’s work on trauma & addiction, distilled into a powerful series. Developed over several years in close partnership with Wholehearted.org, this flagship program distills decades of clinical wisdom, lived experience, and deep personal insight into a profound and intimate teaching series.
Across eight beautifully produced episodes, Gabor walks alongside you, not as an expert above, but as a fellow human being. He speaks directly and tenderly to the pain behind addiction, illness, shame, and emotional disconnection, and offers a profound reframing: that what we call dysfunction may have once been adaptation. That what we call brokenness may actually be survival. And that what we call healing is not about becoming someone new, but remembering who we’ve always been.
You won’t find another program like this. This is not a lecture series. This is a refuge. A guide. A deeply personal conversation between you and a teacher who has spent his life making sense of suffering, and who believes, wholeheartedly that healing is not just hopeful, but possible.
“Healing is possible when we understand that trauma is not what’s wrong with us. It’s what happened to us.”

Why This Series Matters
This program was created over three years with great care and intention. Every word, every pause, every frame was shaped to serve one purpose: to bring Dr. Maté’s most essential teachings to life in a way that feels real, honest, and deeply human.
It’s not theoretical. It’s personal. And it’s not a highlight reel, it’s the full picture.
People often tell us the series gave them language for something they’ve felt their entire lives but never knew how to name. Others say it felt like sitting with someone who finally understood them. The feedback has been more than positive, it has been humbling. The words we hear most often are: “life-changing,” “beautiful,” and “thank you.”
This program is a legacy–Gabor’s, and yours. Because healing is not just hope. It’s a possibility.
