To the podcaster of this video, I would like to say thank you so much for finding a smiling picture of Gabor Mate. Certainly he knows that Joy comes from within and most of his pictures don't represent that. This one does and I truly appreciate this episode and his input into society.

I’m certainly not celebrating victimhood! This is the first time one of Dr. Gabor’s videos pissed me off! I’m totally stuck in the most miserable situation because of my trauma and becoming involved, again, with someone who’s highly abusive. I was rendered unable to work by my psychiatrist. I have no income or savings left. I’d be homeless without this guy. I never would have let myself get involved with him never mind this position if I wasn’t brought up being used, abused, neglected, abandoned, and betrayed by my immediate and extended families. Of course I carried it into adulthood with me! I didn’t know any better until I was 50. Then I still wanted to believe my partner’s promises to “never treat me like that again” were real. BTW, I’m not a victim. Even though I’m still being abused, I’m a survivor.

Your intentions are honorable, but these generic stock images and video in your clips are corny, lazily inserted, too obvious, and distract from the message and the heart of the messengers. We don’t need an image of a pendulum to know what it is, especially when it’s spoken of metaphorically. I’d much rather look at the person who is speaking and nurture an intimate relationship with their mind. Just my personal opinion.

I don’t think we’re celebrating victimhood
We’ve only just realised it en mass so give us a minute
We were victims Some of us are only just beginning to accept that If you want others to stop talking about their trauma it’s only because you haven’t found your own yet!!

The video doesn't answer to the question how to overcome victim mindset

@2much2fast4me 1 year ago

What about victimhood as a defense mechanism against taking responsibility for your own words & actions? That to me is the most inhumane form of victimhood because it puts the responsibility for your own unhealthy coping mechanisms on other people & you expect them to “fix” the problem that isn’t theirs to fix …
