He explains why humans are wired for play by using examples from animals, childhood, and the story of Winnie the Pooh and Christopher Robin. Gabor also talks about how shame stops people from asking for help and how true courage often starts with simply saying “help.” He explains that many struggles are not flaws but responses to pain from the past. ✎ Gabor Mate teaches that addiction is not a choice but a response to pain, and that trauma affects how the body handles stress. He explains how unresolved trauma changes the brain and nervous system and why people turn to addictive habits to escape stress. He also clearly defines addiction as short-term relief with long-term harm and loss of control. He shows that healing is possible when people understand their past and change their beliefs in the present. ✎ Gabor Mate explains why expressing anger in a healthy way protects the body and why learning to say no helps reduce stress. He shares the true story of Shannon Doo and how facing trauma and living authentically became part of her healing journey. He also teaches that focusing on the present is the key to changing the future. The video closes with a short calming breathing tip from Andrew Huberman to help the body relax and reset. ★ BOOKS ★ • Momentum: https://amzn.to/3kJZIAv • Build to Serve: https://amzn.to/3XZiCSg • Your One Word: https://amzn.to/3R9qVII • The Top 10 Rules for Success: https://amzn.to/3JcNZVe • 254 Confidence: https://amzn.to/3jdh9c2 ★ RECOMMENDED VIDEOS FOR YOU ★ If you liked this video,…
