Online recovery conference

Dr Gabor Mate is taking part in this 6 day online conference. It's called Recovery 2.0 #MoveBeyondAddiction. It takes place Feb 6-12. I thought I'd bring it to your attention.

Interesting. Thanks, Kronk.

Thanks, kronk. Wow, that’s quite a roster of speakers they have at that conference! Hopefully, it’s something that will be recorded, and can be looked up later, versus just streaming live.

Hi Kronk -and other members --- just a reminder that this conference started today and has some awesome speakers -beginning with Dr. Gabor Mate. It is not too late to sign in and just listen. You can simply listen to the recorded conferences or the live conversations -via video. SF

Edit: Only in my opinion of course, but Gabor Mate has to be one of the most brilliant analyst regarding addiction and the human mind that I have ever listened to. He truly understands and is able to somewhat communicate the real operation of the addicted, and even non-addicted brain/mind. I am thankful to have been introduced to Dr. Mate's communications.

So far, not impressed with the talks.

It got better. The talk with Mate' had some interesting moments very late into it. Though nothing that hasn't been discussed here. I wasn't going to write snarky stuff, but changed my mind. Like Mate looked drunk in the beginning, and Rosen has to stop with the noises of empathy, or compassion, or whatever it is he is trying to convey. But I am in another bad mood, so it might not bother anyone else.

I have read two of Dr Mate's books -- 'When the Body Says No' and 'In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts' -- and, if you are interested in the views of a very thoughtful guy on addiction and stress, I recommend them both highly.

Thanks, Cassander. Mate is the greatest mind out there re addiction, IMHO.

Another interesting talk was/is given by Dr. Bruce Lipton: "Rewriting the subconscious mind" -IMO of course.
