He is known for treating his patients with psychoactive drugs and has written several books on childhood trauma. Express portrait of Dr. Gabor Mate, who is due to interview Prince Harry this weekend.
We learned a few days ago. Prince Harry is set to go live with Canadian child development expert and best-selling author Gabor Mate. Produced by Penguin Random House (publisher of Prince Harry’s book), this hour-long talk will take place online on Saturday 4 March at 5pm with tickets (which cost £17 or around £20 euros). According to reports:Evening Standard The Duke of Sussex, 38, and Dr Mate, 79, will address a range of topics. Among others: loss, bereavement or even personal healing. At the end of which there will be an open session for the public, during which every audience will have the opportunity to ask a question to the prince exiled in California.
But a few days before this interview, we wonder. Who is this Dr. Mate really? Could he be Meghan and Harry’s new guru as some have claimed? And what exactly is the connection between the Sussexes and its author? Hello again. A new beginning for parents and their grown children (you know, A New Beginning for Parents and Their Grown-Up Children?), in bookstores soon. We take into account.
Abandoned during the war
Born in Hungary on January 6, 1944, Gabor Mate experienced a particularly traumatic episode. When he was a child, his mother, of Jewish descent (his grandparents were killed in Auschwitz), entrusted him to strangers to provide for him for more than a month. This experience would develop in him a fear of abandonment, a trauma that would haunt him into adulthood and which he would not hesitate to address later in his research.
At the age of 12, the Hungarian emigrated to Canada. A few years passed, and the young man began his career, first as a secondary school teacher of English and literature. Then, after several years of training, Gabor Mate decides to return to the university benches. He then joined McGill University College, British Columbia, Vancouver, where he graduated with a doctorate in general medicine in 1977. It was there that he met Ray, his wife since 1969.

psychoactive substance
Throughout his career, Gabor Maté follows many drug addicts and specializes in addictions. Undoubtedly more unusual fact. he strongly supports drug decriminalization. He applied himselfayahuasca – a hallucinogenic preparation from South America – to treat patients suffering from addiction and mental illness during retreats during which he worked with a Peruvian shaman. Although there is evidence that his methods help relieve symptoms, in 2011 he came under fire from Canadian authorities, who threatened to arrest him. That same year, however, Dr. Mate saw his work crowned with an award from the City of Vancouver, as well as the Order of Canada (the highest civilian award).
If we are to believeEvening StandardDr. Gabor Mate still lives in Vancouver (Harry and Meghan’s first vacation spot after Megxit) with his wife. They have three children together. One of them, Aaron Mate, is a journalist and wrote with his father hello again. His daughter Hanna, meanwhile, is a doctoral student in psychology, we read in the English press.
Influence in social networks
Although he’s officially retired as a doctor, Gabor Mate often speaks in front of the public at conferences or on podcasts when he’s not busy writing books… A man of his time, the doctor also has an active Instagram account with a following no less. over 1.2 million followers.
In these posts, we see her in front of the camera, addressing topics as diverse as people-pleasing, childhood trauma (again and again), or how to overcome suffering. And there’s no doubt these themes spoke to Prince Harry, visibly still traumatized by the death of his mother Diana and a lifetime of service to the British monarchy.
