How to deal with addiction with Dr. Gabor Mate

In a very personal discussion, Dr. Gabor Mate, a world-renowned addiction specialist known for the courageous use of psychedelic medicine, pinpoints the origins of my own addiction to stress, and how the same method can be applied to anyone. More specifically, Mate provides extremely interesting insights on commonly diagnosed disorders ADD and ADHD, like by saying that it could have been learned by the brain in childhood in stressful situations to tune out or stop focusing. Other topics we covered consist of other ways of approaching the pursuit of happiness, curing trauma with psychedelics, the power of bad trips, and the true scale of the opioid crisis.
