Gabor Mate on Addiction

I was just watching a video on a UFO topic out of interest and they were talking about psychology and therapy. It reminded me of a talk by Gabor Mate I’ve seen.

It’s a really interesting talk, and I think everyone could benefit from Gabor’s work. He boils down addictive behaviour as serving the short-term at the expense of the long term. He has a really great perspective which I think is a great expression of clinical Psychology. He doesn’t have an ego of being a ‘therapist’ and holds a compassionate demeanour.
