A Neurosurgeon Talks of Vulnerability: Gabor Maté and James Doty

Science and Nonduality

36,087 views

In this interview from his 2019 retreat, Gabor Maté talks to Stanford neurosurgeon Jim Doty about two formative experiences mentioned in his best-selling book Into the Magic Shop: A Neurosurgeon's Quest to Discover the Mysteries of the Brain and the Secrets of the Heart. This leads naturally to the place of vulnerability in the operating room and in society, and the conclusion that you cannot connect without being vulnerable.

Thank you so much Gabor My Mother died suddenly this year of heart failure and I know she was a pathological people pleaser who had had Fibromyalgia. I have Dystonia. My Father and my ex are both narcissists. Fortunately I have broken the cycle and my son is not narcissistic He is slowly overcoming codependence, as I am. We are awakening and growing with the help of our spirits and of teachers like you. Xxx I came here to heal and be healed; that is the message that I receive in my heart each day. I am breaking the cycle of trauma and it is the most difficult and also most rewarding work I know. 💚

i think the reason behind why most psychiatrists are wounded healers is because they want to help others out of the dark times they've experienced. Those who know, know how to help others best, they have their own empirical experiences to draw on. We are all blind to our own flaws to some degree

Celebration of the feminine - expressing feeling, creating connection by showing vulnerability. This is the way of the future. A new paradigm that no longer shuts down this vital part of our being - the feminine once again honored. Very touching story. Thank you. What a wonderful surgeon. Most interesting interview.

Thank you so much, especially the last bits, in relation to the cause being in the non-physical.

This gathering of these two wonderful men and amazing doctors shows what true manhood and humanity are: the true strength lies in being touched and moved, combined with professionalism in their field and deep spiritual wisdom. I bow before these two gentlemen! Thank you.❤
