Guy Felicella spent nearly 20 years living on the streets in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside homeless and addicted to drugs before getting clean and forging a new path for himself. Today, Guy works with BC’s Coastal Health and tours as a public speaker, educating folks on harm reduction and sharing his experiences to prove that there is hope for those dealing with addiction. But Guy credits Gabor Maté, who was his physician during recovery, with helping him address his traumas and giving him a platform to heal.
Guy and Gabor reconnect to chat about addressing childhood trauma and addiction, to examine the shortcomings in Canada’s approach to care and harm reduction, and to discuss the pivotal moments in Guy’s journey to recovery.
