“Do you sometimes feel that something is holding you back, without you being able to name it?"

It could be a constant feeling of unease, an invisible weight pressing down on your chest, or a set of emotions and reactions that keep coming up, no matter how hard you try to move forward.

You may have a successful life on the surface, but inside you feel disconnected, uncomfortable or even profoundly alone.

For many of us, these feelings stem from wounds we can’t see but feel deeply.

It’s called trauma – and it’s not just about what happened to you, but what happened inside you as a result of that trauma.

Perhaps you were told that your childhood was “normal” or that “others had it worse”, so you ignored your pain.

Perhaps you learned early on to be the “good kid”, to keep quiet, to stay out of trouble and be what others wanted you to be.

Or perhaps you experienced moments of neglect, rejection or criticism that left invisible scars, making you feel unworthy, invisible or inadequate.

These wounds don’t disappear with time. They manifest themselves in your body, in your relationships and in the choices you make every day.

They show up when you feel threatened, when you feel shame or anger you can’t explain, when you mask your true feelings to fit in, or when you find yourself repeating patterns that hurt you, over and over again.

Trauma disconnects us from who we really are. It forces us to sacrifice our authenticity – our true self – to be accepted or loved by others.

As children, we had no choice but to live with it. But as adults, this disconnection with ourselves blocks us. We lose sight of our needs, our desires and our true personality.

It’s not our fault. And it can change.

We can heal.

Healing isn’t about erasing the past. It’s about discovering the wounds you’ve carried, understanding them and learning to heal from within. It’s about reconnecting with your authentic self – the version of you that’s free, whole and able to live life to the full.

In this revolutionary masterclass, you’ll discover H.E.A.L., a new methodology designed by Dr. Gabor Maté to help you :

Hear your pain: Understand where your trauma comes from and how it affects your body, mind and relationships.

Empower you to heal: Acquire tools and strategies to take control of your healing and free yourself from your wounds.

Align your relationships: Heal your relational wounds and learn to make deeper, healthier connections with others.

Lifelong healing : Create habits and routines that support your healing journey for life.

It’s not about finding “quick fixes” or ignoring your pain.

It’s about facing the truth with compassion, uncovering what’s been buried and finally giving yourself permission to heal.

In this masterclass, you’ll experience the following:

Real-life consultations in which 15 participants share their stories and begin their healing.

Exclusive case studies that show you how trauma manifests itself and how it can be transformed.

Guided meditations and practical exercises to help you reconnect with your body, your emotions and your true self.

Reflections from special guests, including patients of Gabor Maté, who share their powerful healing journeys.

Tools based on scientific research and Dr. Gabor Maté's years of experience as a physician and trauma specialist.

You’re not broken. You’re wounded. And wounds can heal.

If you’re feeling stuck, disconnected or overwhelmed, now’s the time to start your journey.

A journey to understand yourself, to rediscover your true self and to reconnect with the wholeness that’s already within you.

Healing begins here.

Gabor Maté

Gabor Maté

Dr. Gabor Maté is a Hungarian-Canadian physician, author, and speaker renowned for his work on addiction, trauma, stress, and childhood development.


Born in 1944 during the Holocaust, his early experiences of trauma shaped his perspective on the mind-body connection and the impact of early childhood stress on lifelong health.


Maté worked as a family physician and later in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, providing compassionate care to marginalized populations struggling with addiction and chronic illness.

He redefines addiction as a response to emotional pain and emphasizes the link between unresolved trauma and physical or mental health issues.
His bestselling books, including In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts and When the Body Says No, explore these themes and advocate for holistic healing.

A sought-after speaker, Maté inspires a compassionate understanding of health and well-being, addressing root causes rather than symptoms.

Though retired from medical practice, he continues to influence global conversations on trauma and recovery.

Incredible class!! I have followed Dr. Gabor Mate over many years and have read his books and listened to him any chance I get. This masterclass is so full of life life wisdom based on learning and his personal experiences.

Cat

I recently completed Dr. Gabor Mate trauma course, and it has been one of the most impactful learning experiences I've had. The course itself is beautifully structured, the exercises stood out as genuinely practical and deeply healing, not just theoretical. What I appreciated most is that learning doesn't stop with the master classes. Reading Dr. Mate’s books alongside the course adds another whole layer of depth and understanding that stays with you long after. I came away with real tools, real insight, and a much more compassionate understanding of myself and others. Highly recommend it to anyone on a healing or personal development journey.

Natalia

I loved it. Gabor is such a calm and inspirering teacher. He explanes things so easely and makes it understanderble for everyone. Thank you so much. I feel healed through this course.

Trine

This masterclass with Gabor Mate is beyond my expectations...his knowledge, compassion, and guidance combined with his creative manner to heal is a gift to all. Thank you with all my heart for this opportunity to learn and heal with Dr. Mate.

Amy Josephine

Wonderful systematized and understanding for the mind and for the heart. So much knowledge collected in short materials and presented intelligently and inspiringly at the same time. I think that in this approach, which combines science and spirituality, lies the foundation for our evolution as humans. A wonderful work done with love and wisdom. When they meet and live as one, truth is born. Thanks to Dr. Mate for his creative work and to the team that makes it accessible to us all people around the world. One of the best investments of my life.

Raya

This masterclass has changed my life in so many ways. I learned crucial information about my life experiences and choices that has set me on a clear path to healing from childhood trauma and more. I use the tools/exercises taught by Dr. Gabor Mate every day, and they are very effective. Reviewing the class notes regularly keeps concepts and goals fresh in my mind and always leaves me feeling at peace. I am currently watching the masterclass for the third time because it both strengthens my focus and comforts my mind. Thank you so much to Dr. Mate, and to Leo, Sebastian, Marine, Daniel Mate and everyone who contributed to this course. I highly recommend this masterclass!

Cheryl

The masterclass is beyond my expectation! It's complete, beautifully set up guidance, full of wisdom and excercises to get through live feeling free to be your authentic self.

Blanka

Malorie

Very well structured, extraordinarily paced, with an excellent balance between theoretical explanation and sensorial exploration/written exercises, with great examples of real interventions of Dr Maté with live participants and all of this done with sensitive heart and respect. A true Masterclass.

Ida

Gabor Mate is reaching me on a deep level, his voice entwines into the fiber of my soul, my being!

Susan

This class included a good solid grounding in the latest thinking in the treatment of CPTSD, bridging somatic therapy with the mind. (You need both to heal.) Now that I'm away from former abusers, I can begin to heal with what I learned here.

Jan

Insightful and very thoughtfully presented. Thank you so much.

Sarah

This training gave me a great deal of insight. Very inspiring. Especialy realizing that failing to say "yes" can be just as damaging as failing to say "no." The exercises were a game-changer. Gabor's calm voice is pleasant to listen to.

Lieke

This Masterclass has been a game changer. I've got deeper into my healing and I have awesome tools that I'll take with me and use from now on. I'm so happy I decided to sign up, and I highly recommend to this Masterclass to everyone!

Jodie

Gabor Mate's Master Class has been instramental in me gaining understanding about how trauma works and how we can heal from it. There is so much information covered, I really appreciate the workbook being provided, as it will help me review the lessons long after I have completed the class. I have found that It takes quite awhile to unpack and process all the information. Lastly, I really enjoyed the question and answer segments in the bonus section at the end. Answers to other people's questions always seem to give you more insights into your own. It has been a wonderful healing experience. Thank you
