Dr. Gabor Maté

After 40 years of working with trauma, here’s what I want you to know

You’re not broken. You were hurt. And through the H.E.A.L. method, I’ll help you make sense of that pain… and begin to heal.


Start Healing Now

What we call “trauma” isn’t just about what happened to us.

It’s about what happened inside, and what we had to suppress to survive.


In my work, I’ve met thousands of people: individuals struggling with anxiety, addiction, burnout, chronic illness, or simply a sense that something just isn’t right, even if life looks “fine” on the outside.


And again and again, I’ve seen the same truth:


Most of us don’t need fixing.

We need to feel safe enough to be who we are.

We need to be seen, heard, and understood.


But instead of being met with compassion, we learned to adapt.

To become the “good child.” To silence our emotions.

We learned to disconnect from ourselves just to feel accepted.


That survival instinct may have helped us as children.

But as adults, it keeps us stuck, disconnected, confused, longing for something we can’t quite name.

That’s why I created this masterclass.

To offer a new understanding of trauma and a practical path forward.

One that helps us stop carrying the pain we’ve buried for so long, and begin the work of returning to ourselves.

Start Healing Now

Healing doesn’t begin with fixing what’s wrong with you.

It starts by understanding what happened to you.

We’ve been taught to see our struggles as flaws for many years.

If we feel anxious, we’re told to calm down.

If we feel angry, we’re told to control it.

If we feel sad, we’re told to “move on.”

But what if these emotions aren’t problems to fix? What if they’re messages?

Signals from a part of us that had to go silent to survive.


You see, trauma isn’t just about abuse or violence. It’s not reserved for “extreme” cases.

Trauma is what happens when we’re left alone with pain, when our needs aren’t met, or when our emotions aren’t welcomed.


And it shows up in subtle, invisible ways:

Feeling disconnected from your body or emotions

Struggling to say no, or to ask for what you need

Repeating painful patterns in relationships

Carrying shame, guilt, or a deep sense of “not enough”

None of this means you’re broken.

It means your nervous system did its best to protect you, and now it’s time to unlearn what no longer serves you.


That’s what healing truly is:

Not becoming someone new, but reconnecting with the person you were always meant to be.

THAT’S WHY I CREATED H.E.A.L

A simple, four-part approach to help you reconnect with yourself and start healing from the inside out.

Over the decades, I’ve seen what works.

Not in theory, but in practice, with real people, carrying real pain.


What I’ve learned is that healing doesn’t happen through willpower, or by pushing yourself to “get over it.”

It happens when we give ourselves the time, space, and tools to listen to what’s really going on inside.

That’s what the H.E.A.L. method is all about.

Each letter represents a phase in the healing journey, one that meets you where you are and gently helps you move forward.

H

Hear the pain

Understand where your trauma comes from, how it shaped you, and how it still lives in your body, your mind, and your relationships.

E

Empower your healing

Learn practical tools to calm your nervous system, process your emotions, and begin reclaiming your inner strength.

A

Align your relationships

Heal the relational wounds that keep you stuck — and start building deeper, healthier, more authentic connections with others.

L

Live your healing

Integrate what you’ve learned into your everyday life with sustainable routines, reflective practices, and compassionate awareness.

This isn’t a quick fix. It’s not about bypassing pain or thinking positive.

It’s about building a relationship with yourself, that’s rooted in truth, safety, and care.


And the more you return to yourself, the more life begins to change. From the inside out.

Imagine if healing didn’t mean changing who you are,

but finally becoming who you’ve always been.

Imagine waking up one morning and noticing something is different.


Your chest feels lighter.

You don’t rush to please, to explain, to shrink.

You take a breath… and feel safe in your own body.


You hear your inner voice again, not the voice of fear, guilt, or shame.

But your true voice. The one that knows what matters to you.

What you want. What you no longer want.


You say no when it’s a no.

You stop apologizing for existing.

You speak, and something inside doesn’t flinch.


You start choosing relationships that nourish you, not repeat old wounds.

You stop managing emotions… and start listening to them.


And maybe, for the first time in years,

you feel at home in yourself.


This is what happens when we stop trying to fix ourselves,

and begin the deeper work of listening, feeling, and reclaiming who we are.

They Finally Found the Answers. You Can Too.
I have feelings of excitement, adventure and fear all wrapped up inside me as I embark on this journey with you, Gabor. But I'm also grateful for the opportunity to heal
– Natalie, 42 years old
Twenty years of therapy didn't come close to the healing I received listening! Whole parts of my personality were explained after 60 years on this glorious planet!
Oh please always remember how precious and important you are. You brought me answers to questions I didn't even know I had about why I automatically respond to others.
Do you know how important you are in my healing journey???!!
Yes, it was Dr Maté's words but I would not have received this amazing gift if not for you.
Thank you from my entire spirit and soul and mind.
Man, I love you guys!
– John, 45 years old
Each one of these lessons is just amazing. Thank you Dr. Maté for doing this class, and for having the workbook and the summary slides at the end of each lesson. Clearly I'll be doing the class more than once to catch all of the teaching!
– Mary, 35 years old
I truly wish the Maté HEAL Method was practiced in mental health facilities everywhere. As a therapist, I can say I learned more to help clients through this program than in graduate school.
– Jane, 50 years old
I really enjoyed this self awareness practise in doing it regular settles me.
– Linda, 29 years old
I do have access now to the Gabor Maté's Masterclass.
Please, extend my gratitude with all the team that make this masterclass possible. It changed my life and I am quite sure it will do the same for too many people around the world.
– David, 38 ans
Through your work I finally found answers about myself and my biography after 30+ years of searching. And know I try to pass this understanding on to my patients every day.
So = THANK YOU Gabor! :)
– Natalie, 42 ans
The happy childhood exercise was amazing, really gave me a lot to think about as I would be in the same space as this woman shared. Amazing, hadn't thought of this series of questions before but they are very powerful.
– Susan, 55 years old
I joined MentorShow last month specifically to take Dr. Gabor Maté's course on The H.E.A.L Method: The Breakthrough Protocol for Healing from Trauma and Transforming Your Life. It was incredibly insightful and helpful—so much so that my husband downloaded it on his own computer just to follow along with me.
We both found Gabor to be down-to-earth, compassionate, intuitive and genuinely easy to connect with. He has a way of explaining how inner trauma impacts our bodies and minds that feels both deeply personal and easy to understand. His authenticity and warmth really shine through.
I'm also looking forward to exploring other courses on the platform, which cover a range of topics—from food and health to spirituality and healing. Another great bonus: you get access to all the content for an entire year.
– Karen, 49 years old
I experienced such insight in this exercise, that I channelled automatic writing at a very deep level of understanding. Showing me wisdom, and releasing trauma to heal. Thank you Gabor for this wonderful course and blessings to everyone participating!
– Sarah, 40 years old

Even if I work as a psychotherapist, as a mentor, I'm learning how speak deep on me with compassion, how to follow with love my thoughts and feeling, how give that to my son too. Be here, listening to you is my gift to that little girl inside of me.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, it's a perfect complement. Many participants are already in therapy and use the masterclass and coaching sessions to deepen what they're exploring with their therapist. You'll gain tools to bring into your sessions and clarity between them.

No problem. Every session is recorded and available for replay whenever you want. You can go at your own pace and still benefit fully.
That's a valid concern, and exactly why this program exists. You're not alone. The space is trauma-informed, supportive, and paced gently. You'll be guided with compassion, not pushed.
