Gabby Bernstein - Something isn't right...

[@christinamorales6887]

I was in kundalini yoga training with her in 2012 in NYC and she was not very kind to any of us. I’m glad someone is calling her out with what we all experienced with her.

[@Sabrina-vw5dg]

Gabby Bernstein's new book, "Happy Days: A Guided Path from Trauma to Profound Freedom and Inner Peace." In it she talks about that before her memories of being sexually abused as a child resurfaced and she was able to do the healing work- she had the need to control, etc. -- There are so many reasons why people are the way they are, or do the things that they do until they address it. Gabby is very honest about all of that. . . . We, A L L, have things about ourselves to become aware of and heal. >>> Let's try some compassion and grace. We all need it!!! Thanks, Sabrina

I bet Gabby never had her electricity or gas cut off as a kid. Never had to access a food bank. Or have the Salvation Army deliver Christmas presents to her house because her parents could barely get by. That was my life, amongst many other traumatic experiences. The lack of social awareness to role play as less fortunate really proves that she has no idea what it’s like. These people make me sick. Just because you weren’t rich doesn’t mean you were poor.

Exactly. Having financial struggles while trying to 'keep up with the joneses' in a highly affluent and expensive part of the city is VASTLY different from barely managing to stay alive and housed while living as cheaply as possible.

Biggest eye roll for the way she spoke about manifesting her baby. Tell that to all the women who didn’t end up with a baby. Did we not manifest enough? Is there something wrong with us that we don’t deserve a baby? Ahhh so angry.. For anyone struggling - having or not having a baby is a compete lottery, you did not do anything to deserve or not deserve anything, you didn’t do anything wrong, you didn’t think or feel wrong. Some things just happen, that’s all. And you are great wether you have a baby or not.

Fun fact: Stephen King cannot remember writing Cujo because he was on a coke binge when he wrote it. Gabbie Bernstein: I had a coke addiction when I was 25, but I felt my spirit guide Peter tell me what to write. Huh… it’s uncanny how similar these two stories are.

[@mikalin9286]

Stephen King has admitted to doing so many substances while writing that he doesn’t remember writing entire books, yes. However has he ever called himself a naturalist, pretended to not know how to pick up a prescription and then tried to give life advice? We may never know. // he did actually talk quite a bit in his book on writing about his life, he was always involved in writing to some extent- then the drugs happened- then he did give some life advice and it was mostly- don’t do drugs, anything you can do well high is worth doing sober basically. Out of the two King seems to have the better grip on reality.

[@embera.1202]

[@triciamedora9274]

I've also never seen someone who is in recovery and has gone through the 12-step program quite like this. They are some of the most amazing individuals I've encountered. They live lives of service without seeking attention from others. Their service is done from the heart and is unconditional. It's a beautiful thing. This is just bizarre. I'm not a certain why no one calls her out on the BS it's crazy.

[@kathleenlamb597]

The infertility thing makes me so mad. I went through 2 years and $16,000 USD to get pregnant and I made it out incredibly cheap. You can't manifest a baby by taking care of yourself. "Mothering yourself" won't change biology. This hurts so many people. There are so many times I thought the universe was punishing me. One of the lowest point was right after Trump won in 2016 and two of my conservative friends got pregnant. I said to myself "maybe if I voted Trump, I would be pregnant now too" as if those things are at all related.

[@olgs37]

It made me pissed off, too. I, personally, didn't have issues getting pregnant (though I was supposed to); I did have issues keeping the pregnancy, however. I had to have shots every few weeks to make sure my body didn't reject the pregnancy because it didn't recognize it as a normal, natural process. Was pregnant four times; have two children. And I hated being pregnant, myself, but that's a different issue. I have a SIL who took 12 years to get pregnant. They (her and my BIL - my husband's brother) tried for so long, and many different ways. She'd had several rounds of IVF - all being fruitless. They'd actually given up after 12 years and decided to adopt so they were searching for a baby to adopt when she very unexpectedly - FINALLY! - got pregnant. It was considered high risk so they did everything possible to keep her safe and they finally had their baby girl last year! Again - IT TOOK 12 YEARS! AND they'd finally given up. I'm thrilled for them that they finally have what they want. I hope you managed to have your baby. And I'm terribly sorry for all of those who want to, but can't. I had to have a hysterectomy at 27 because of all of the issues that it was causing, and it actually made me feel rather guilty, knowing I was getting rid of that ability... even though, although I got pregnant easily, keeping the pregnancies healthy was a completely different idea and one that we failed at a couple times. It made me feel a bit guilty, knowing that I was getting rid of something that gave me two kids while my SIL simply couldn't get pregnant, no matter how much she tried. And the fact that I ABSOLUTELY DESPISED being pregnant while she couldn't even get so made me feel even more guilty, lol.

Her descriptions of spiritual channeling sound like mania. Compulsively writing down new ideas nonstop, voices, grandiosity. Not trying to armchair diagnose her, but regardless of what she was actually doing in those times (if any of it is even true), if she were to give this message to people who do experience mania, that could be really harmful.

These clippings are taken completely out of context. They are just strung together for the purpose of attracting attention. The KZbin creators get paid for this content. Gabby clearly doesn’t need the money and not because she married a rich husband. She was rich on her own merits, prior to meeting her husband.

[@lyra2282]

As a somatic (body oriented) therapist, I can clarify a bit Gabby's take on therapy. EMDR, which is a therapy that involves eye movement, is very popular with mental health / cognitive therapists because it ca be quite effective and it gives them the edge of a somatic / neurobiological approach without having to do a lot of training. However it's also considered a "harsher" approach than a lot of other body oriented modalities, and I've had clients who tired it and were quite triggered by it. In terms of IFS (Internal Family Systems), it's a great approach (I'm training in it at the moment) and isn't just for mental health therapists but also for other therapists and healing professionals. Her saying that she is "trained" can mean a variety of things. It can mean a person took a seminar that covers the basics of this approach, or it can mean that they went through the official training and got certified (this process takes a couple of years). I looked her up on the IFS Directory as a certified provider and she isn't listed there, for what it's worth. IFS can be incredibly effective as an adjunct therapy approach and it teaches a client an excellent skill set when it comes to recognizing, relating to, and working with their emotional parts. In terms of her telling a woman that she has insecure attachment - that's a load of bullshit because one has to get assessed for this, and a therapist would have more than one session to suggest to a client what type of attachment style they may have. Learning to work with anxiety can take a while, and it's helpful to explore both a cognitive / mental health approach including medication, combined with neurobiological approaches like somatic therapy to teach the person nervous system regulation, recognizing and working with triggers, etc. To summarize, I think that saying that "everyone" should try this or a therapy will work for everyone is incredibly irresponsible. Sure, healing professionals get very passionate about the modalities they trained in, but if any of them tells you that this is the only thing that can help or the absolute best thing out there, please reconsider working with them. The way Gabby tosses this information around is completely inappropriate.

How can she have no memories of her childhood yet remember that she grew up poor or was raised to use homeopathic remedies? Could it be that it’s all BS and she had a perfectly idyllic childhood, but if she was to mention that she had a stable childhood with a lot of privilege and now she’s even richer that no one would buy her crap?

[@UdoADHD]

@10:25 In actuality she does things from a manic episode. I don’t remember the interview where she admitted to finally taking her mental health seriously and learned that she has manic episodes where she gets a lot of things done, more than normal (a classic symptom of mania) and has learned that this was a sign to take her meds

Same! I’ve never joined Patreon and know nothing about it but for Keya?! Hells yeah!

[@BrittanyZane]

I never thought her story about addiction added up. I found her when I was going through a struggle with alcohol and I felt like she jumped on the addiction bandwagon. I always found her addiction story unrelatable and it’s insulting that she sells herself as a recovering addict. Her story is someone who started drinking a couple too many glasses of wine and just quit…. Maybe she went to a darker place with her alcoholism and just doesn’t go into it and if that is it, I wish she’d open up more because it just comes off as exploitative to those who struggle with addiction.

[@mikalin9286]

At 12:49 she says she had a really bad coke addiction by age 25. Idk where that talk is from, but I can imagine working PR in NYC starting as a bottle girl at her cousin club could definitely lead to addictive behaviors. She’s definitely addicted to “grind” culture. I’m sorry you were looking for genuine connection during a hard point and found someone so seemly unhelpful speaking like she is all knowing about something you struggle with. I hope you’re doing well, you deserve all the support!

[@shelley2he844]

Your intuition is right I think. I'm recovering from alcoholisn and drug addiction myself. And you can tell if someone is talking shit about addiction, or exaggerating. For instance I had a drug counselor who wasn't an addict and even though she tried hard and studied addiction : she was the worst addiction counsellor I ever encountered. Because if you get it, you get it. There's no in between.

[@ThePerceptionTrainersPT]

My biggest thing is ALWAYS that they promise perfection in every one of their modalities, only to then have a new modality next month, year, cycle and so on. There's always the 'relatable' problem, the 'this is how I fixed it' and the 'this is my perfect life now!' followed by the sales pitch. Then in a few months, there's another dark period, another new solution and another program. Because the reality is, people want a FULL solution. People don't want 'better' lives where we learn to manage and navigate - they want to be told that heaven is possible on earth. Then we want to be sold this heaven from someone who was 'just like us' so that we can feel like our problems are solve-able. This is why the influencer currency isn't a degree or a qualification, but it's in their personal story. We want to connect EMOTIONALLY and they use that in their marketing. From here, we can't ever have someone who ACTUALLY reaches the perfection they claim to have reached - because then what would they sell? Our economy demands that we are CONSTANTLY being given the 'new thing', the latest and greatest - and again, due to the fact that nothing that is sold can EVER be a full answer, we are going to get to a place where what we bought from the influencer before stops working and we look for something new. This is where they come in with the new relatable bottom and the new fix all. They have to keep selling a quick fix that does it all, over and over again, in order to stay relevant and to keep making money. And rather than us questioning, we go along with it, because the narrative is always so powerful and fills us with hope. Throw in that we are conditioned to blame ourselves when a tool doesn't work and you have the influencer cycle. Gabby has had so many 'bottoms' that led to the PERFECT solution I can't even count them. One for every book so far. Yet we still buy and believe because in real reality, there's only progress and that makes us feel hopeless or like we can't ever be genuinely better. We need realistic people selling realistic steps - but this isn't flashy or sexy and thus it's really hard to make money doing that. The catch 22 of the influencer spiral.

this was really well done!!! i love your streams but this type of content from you is also great! here's hoping the all mighty algorithm blesses you 😔

[@breesgirl5035]

This is a great video. Well put together and slick.

[@TheAmazinRaven]

The editing in this video is so good. I hope you do more exposes like this bc you have the personality for it.

[@maggiedk]

11:19 I mean... No you wouldn't. I get the joke you're going for, but this feels kinda stigmatizing of mental illnesses that may feature psychosis. People experiencing things like hallucinations are no longer put into "facilities" against their will unless they're a danger to others (which is very rare) or themselves. I like the video, but I just don't think that joke was necessary.

[@olliesGiGi]

Great video. I enjoy any style you do. The lives are still my favorite though 😉💚

[@fjugiibaby81]

I love Gabby❤

[@spokenwordpoetries]

2:00- 2 minutes into this video, and I already have something to say. Someone says that they don't remember their childhood but they are a guru?? I understand that there are biological things that can happen that can affect memory and things that our brain tries to protect us from. Someone who hasn't worked through that should NOT be giving advice to other people. And if she claims that she doesn't remember her childhood for a non-clinical reason, I find that off-putting and highly unlikely. Also, if she doesn't remember her childhood, how does she knew that she grew up with financial instability? If barely remembers high school, how does she know that she has an 8th grade literary education? I don't want to hear any more from this person. There's just no benefit to me.

[@brucheweinberger6863]

You can very vague memories and know if you grew up poor, which is exactly my expierience. I definately remember more things from when I was a teenager but still don't remember specific memories. But not that I believe her.

[@bettedavismydears1521]

Wooo! Happy to see a regular style video (rather than a stream) :)

[@alisajamieson4065]

I’ve never really vibed with her and this vid articulates exactly why. Thank you.

[@sashaalton3334]

Thank you for making this video. I never understood but when I would see Gabby or hear her voice, my skin would crawl. I guess it was my BS meter.

[@yesiamsharon]

She strikes me as coming from a privileged life with her family and then had the good fortune of continuing with a privileged life. As such her misrepresentations of her life honestly infuriate me. If you are selling yourself as the product, do it honestly.

[@pythoness_programmer_gold]

The way I lit up when I saw this video on my homepage. The TEA!

[@kimberlyeberhard3592]

I’m only to the education portion of this, but I guess her writing experience explains why it was so hard for me to get thru and never finish one of her books.

[@lmswlcswthecalmingwaytutor2785]

Thru? Yeah. I see why you couldn’t finish her book

[@samariperez7]

Great video!! I’m sorry but what person goes through high school and university without having to take an English class? Lol. Sit down Gabby. Lies. Anyway love your videos and dedication to unbiased journalism! You’re present information so well and I appreciate the depth of research you do.

[@mandylee3862]

I'm pretty sure I had to take an English class every year of high school. And the only reason I didn't have to take it my first year of college too was because I took AP Lit in high school. Does not add up

[@okoala62]

Gabby’s iPhone has a better bed than me, lmaoooo 😂 perfect ending to a great video! 👏👏👏

[@lizcoddington4421]

Love the new format. It’s a keeper, imo ❤ Excellent deep dive too. I’ve never heard of her that I can recall, so very informative.

[@UdoADHD]

Just started the video but oooooh I can’t wait

[@hmneill]

There is no way she did not take English in college. Accreditation standards require it. The only way around it would be to test out of it, which would negate her assertion. I think this is a really stupid lie, just say you only had the basic English classes to graduate. Plenty of people would still resonate with that.

[@morganwentworth2041]

Yesterday my bullshit radar was up when I listened or tried to continue listening to Mel Robbins (who I believe is authentic) talk with Gabby … the body language was killing me I could not continue any longer as Gabby kept preening herself with her hair and pouting her fabricated lips … I have never left a negative response on KZbin but yesterday I did … I had to be honest … than today your channel pops up I have never come across it before but yay thanks for doing this video it confirms my feelings … And just to add I have been on a spiritual path for decades you name it I’ve done it and meditation daily too… so thanks again keep up the great work …

[@heidikarpa2278]

Spot on Kayla!!!! I can't believe I used to watch all these self help gurus... honestly they are not gurus at all... I now know The only guru of my life is ME... and these people don't know shit 🙄 if I need help I find folks with proven experience and qualifications from the real world.. not the quantum realm where any kook can say anything they like.. I have a friend (kinda former now) like gabby.... and I've become so repulsed by her language and self righteousness... she's changed so much and now talks about "all the things"... she's a mess behind closed doors,has nothing figured out... but tries to sell the fact she works in spirit and the divine... and can fix your problems with her coaching.. Soooo how come you a mess then?? 🤣🤣🤣

Her inability to stabilize her emotions based on her “beliefs” is what I found to be most unsettling about her. I was VERY surprised to see her on impact theory.

How does one not have a higher level of English background than 8th grade if they also graduated from college? Granted, I went to college for something in communications so I had a good deal of writing classes, but I’m gonna bet at least one or two English courses are required for everyone in a US college.

[@Bezerley]

Love the format of this video, really well done Keya!

[@jademack7199]

If she did theater she *knows* how narratives and stories are formulated. She might not know how to write at the start but she would understand the general idea of how books and stories should flow.

[@olgazelenka1544]

I graduated from SU with an aerospace engineer degree I can attest that English is REQUIRED to graduate. Writing is REQUIRED to graduate. Lier lier pants on fire.

[@TaylorX3]

I have an accounting degree from JSU and I too can attest to having to take at least English 101 & 102. Also at my university you have to take a writing exam before you graduated to prove you could write at a college level.

[@lakehairdontcare3398]

As someone who has had a NDE, you could educate yourself on the community of ppl who have; to understand extra sensory abilities. You did a great job on the video, I found it informative about this woman and agree with your overall opinion. NDE’s are very life changing and some down here do have abilities beyond the 5. Some have hyper abilities within the 5. everything is connected, not separate. Once you die and come back you have a greater understanding of this. On the manifestation bit-you can manifest however, you are limited to what you have already decided to manifest on the other side, as It is pre-determined.

[@tashaedwards]

I stopped listening to her and I couldn’t figure out why…. All of this

[@avilesandres]

Biggest eye roll for me was one time that she said that she is "a helper an a giver" and she needs to stop giving to everyone else and focus on giving to herself.

[@AnnabelleLeeTx]

Great new format 👍

[@UdoADHD]

@26:40 it’s insidious because when she has her baby, the followers will feel like if they don’t have their baby it’s because they aren’t as spiritually connected as Gabby, even though Gabby is just normal like them and even needs medication. Gabby got her baby because she has enough money to try for IVF and it’s that simple.

[@StellarStina]

I love this channel, but Gabbie grossed me out so much I couldn't complete the video. Thank you for doing an exposé.

[@hetty74]

I was totally unsurprised when she revealed a background of being an ex coke addict club promoter.

I've always thought she was a narcissist. I've seen her speak at events and read one of her books. There's nothing there. It's amazing how much volume she produces for how little she has to say.

I'm so glad you do these videos.... I love them. TY

[@eringoeke2003]

I agree with so many of your points except for her helping the suicidal recovering addict. I don't think she should have shared it on her podcast, but as a recovering alcoholic it's very common in the community for us to reach out and help each other. While therapy and everything is great, it's the sense of community and being able to reach out to anyone at any time about anything that makes AA or other 12 step programs so successful. Hell, I've been suicidal after a relapse and needed my sponsor to help me calm down and she did exactly what Gabbie did- guide me to treatment and talk me off the ledge. Talking to another addict or alcoholic is so key because we feel like the other person actually gets it and truly cares. Although AA was a little too cult-like for me, it got me through my first few years and gave me so many great tools I use today to stay sober. I think she did exactly what she was taught in the program, and she did a good thing, except sharing another addict's experience
