97. Rethinking... Addiction ... and What's Linked to It
RETHINKING
i tell my storytelling class that
personal narratives are "inside out"...
... how i perceive myself, my world,
and what actions and behaviours are needed
to make meaning of my life, existence and purpose.
This is how i am and how i choose to be.
below written below video on youtube:
Canadian physician Gabor Maté is a specialist in terminal illnesses, chemical dependents, and HIV positive patients. Dr. Maté is a renowned author of books and columnist known for his knowledge about attention deficit disorder, stress, chronic illness and parental relations. His theme at TEDxRio+20 was addiction -- from drugs to power. From the lack of love to the desire to escape oneself, from susceptibility of the being to interior power -- nothing escapes. And he risks a generic and generous prescription: "Find your nature and be nice to yourself."

“Addiction is not a choice anybody makes.
It’s a response to emotional pain.”
