PART 2 with Mayim Bialik is now ready! kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmLRY5iIrZKjlbs

[@carlgreisheimer5278]

MAYIM IS A GODZILLA FAN....WOW!!! I USE TO LOVE GODZILLA WHEN I WAS A KID. IT BLOWS MY MIND HOW MANY OUT THE ORDINARY THINGS WE HAVE COMMON! TRUST ME, I DON'T LIKE MAYIM JUST BECAUSE SHE IS SUPER CUTE/PRETTY. I LOVE THE FACT THAT WE RELATE IN SOME VERY UNIQUE WAYS.

[@carlgreisheimer5278]

I hate that she said those people died. A better way of saying it was that they were murdered.

[@adrianapalumbo6889]

[@annedreilleclarete9613]

Mayim always gives light whenever she smiles. ❤️ She is such an inspiration to every woman. I just love her by being herself 🥰❤️

[@mirfir]

Hence her authenticity

[@keithbrown4683]

It’s a relief 2 hear people come clean and keep it real regarding mental health issues.

[@sallyroddy6566]

Mayim''s childhood happened for a reason. She''s gonna help many people. Love and light

That's a really great perspective. She has helped so many people and I'm sure she'll keep doing more of the same.

Mayim you may not be curing cancer, but you are bringing light and joy into the lives of people who watch and listen to you. Thank you for doing it all!

[@robynrains7252]

My favorite thing about Mayim is her honesty and relatability. I learned about this podcast from Mayims Breakdown podcast with Julie Bowen

[@sekritskworl-sekrit_studios]

I like that Mayim's sincerity makes her (I perceive) as lovely a person as she is physically

[@d.d.p.parker3671]

I simply like mayim, she puts a smile on her face probably bc of her friendly smile, she's a good person and as such she's heavenly blessed, my opinion..everything she's in I watch as a fan.

[@monicac5452]

I love everything about Mayim Bialik! Don't make me try to choose something. She's just great! I love you, Mayim!!!

[@anseladams23]

I feel like Mayim's background is so similar to mine. My grandparents fled Eastern Europe due to persecution and never would talk about anything. My maternal grandmother came over at 8 yrs old and never saw a family member again. My parents got married at 16 and 18 (also not pregnant). I was raised by my mother, a starving artist. Every day was full of anxiety about every possible things. I started having panic attacks and anxiety in elementary school. I was in therapy for a decade while studying psychology. I really work at enjoying life. I'm also musical like Mayim! I sing and play flute. Thanks for the interview. I look forward to her new podcast.

[@carlgreisheimer5278]

So her mother got married in 1963? Just as the sexual revolution was starting in the early 60s with the advent of THE PILL. I think she mentioned in GROKNATION that her dad first he met her mom at a party that he was invited to in the BRONX even thou he grew up on LONG ISLAND(WESTBURY?). I think he also said to his friend at that party he was going too marry her one day.

💜I love Mayim's openness. After years of struggling with depression & finally having resolution to my issues I have been able to tear down the walls I've always kept up. I have started to cry over things good & sad & thought there must be something else wrong with me. I have had 2 therapists assure me I'm ok. I've come to believe that I finally have an open heart & am willing to be vulnerable for the first time in my life. Mayim's explanation that she hears with her heart seems to fit perfectly with what I'm experiencing. Thank you Mayim, for your open honesty & for adding another layer of understanding to my own experience.💜

[@shirleyclark1857]

Mayiam you are so on point about parents telling you how you feel when growing up. I have a therapist and a psychiatrist that helps me now, in my late 40's. They help me with all aspects of my life. I'm a middle child and I feel both my sister's to include my mother should go to a therapist. I suffered so long with depression and anxiety, but I didn't know that I was. I was diagnosed after having grand-mal seizures as a Nurse Administrator. When my Neurologist tested me for everything to figure out why in the middle of my forties I was having a out of the blue new on set of seizures. No history in my family at all. They were stress induced seizures. So, she sent me to a Neuropsychologist and a psychologist. In many, many long very long discussions I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression. I'm a very sensitive person, even as a child. I cry when happy and sad. I will cry when you cry. I get goose-bumps with stories from others that are so sweet. I've been told by a Supervisor "you are over sensitive", which really f#$#, pissed me off. As a nurse I'm supposed to be. RIGHT!!!! Thank you for your new podcast that you will be doing. I am planning to find you.

[@vanessawhitneypro]

LOVE Mayim & Jonathan's Podcast on KZbin! Thanks for another great interview... Excited to watch Part 2!

[@ReallyFamous]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jenniferhizzy6591]

The first time I realized I was a sensitive was the day my grand father passed away I was skipping home from school whistling the second that I touched the door knob to enter the house my feelings crashed and I found my parents in each others arms crying. I did not understand what was happening but reflecting back it was because I felt their despair.

[@mitziocean]

I Love all I learned from Mayim and her being a beautiful empathetic ethical authentic intelligent informed woman. I feel an understanding and connection in that I am the daughter of Holocaust survivors and an Ethical Animal Activist Eco-friendly Vegan that has OCD is HSP empathic and has PTSD from years of abuse and became spiritual doing meditation etc. Via great and beneficial books and lectures, a year in therapy and years of spiritual learning I am evolving from victim to survive to thrive and to rescuer in helping animals and humans too. I loved your conversation here. You both are a beautiful Light 🌟🌟💖🕊🌱🕊

@@gangoolie68 Glad you enjoyed it. Did you see part 2 also? We really talk about a lot. Mayim is very open about what she's been through.

[@Historian212]

Very nice channel idea, I look forward to viewing more. I admire Mayim for many reasons: her intelligence, her authenticity, and her determination to live proudly by her values. As another lifer when it comes to therapy (also an HSP), I find Mayim's stand for people with mental health challenges is amazing, and not easy for her, I'm sure. I strongly support the emphasis on mental health care for all, and on the notion that what happens to people in their lives is part of their mental health picture. Plus, she loves cats, so... (BTW her appearance with Jon Lovitz from some years ago is hilarious.)

[@ReallyFamous]

Nice to meet you and glad you liked our talk! Mayim is truly a role model in so many ways. I 100% agree with you about what she does for mental health--she's a true advocate and believer. The world is a better place with her in it. :) Part 2 is coming soon. I hope you enjoy!

[@melanie7596]

What I love about mayim is she is so authentic. She is not afraid to say things even if it is not the most agreeable. She is aware or as they call it “woke” but she is not those who just say things because it’s what people want to hear. I noticed that on her other podcasts.

Great interview!

[@cindyp.9030]

I have always felt a connection with Mayim even though I am older than she is. She is an amazing person and the more I get to know her on a personal level the more connected I feel. I have never heard the term "HSP" to describe a highly sensitive person, that is me all the way, I cry at the weirdest times. Now I know what it is and that I'm not crazy, thank you so much for that small piece of the puzzle.

[@mirfir]

Alanis Morissette is one FYI

[@tanickasinclair7035]

This is Jennifer Sinclair. Anxiety, depression, and OCD. That is EXACTLY what I have. Every time I listen to Mayim I am more amazed than I was before. She is such a good friend! (even though I never met her!)

[@cjsims6374]

Thank you both so much, I loved and learned so much from your openness and honesty. One thing that really stood out to me was, 'this is a hard DAY'. Why do we claim the entire day for negative emotions, thinking tomorrow will be better? Why not. 'This is a hard MOMENT, give me a minute please.'? Life is too short to give away so much in such huge blocks of time. I hope I can implement this quickly into my life!

This might seem random but can we start a campaign to get Mayim and other public figures together that really get this and have real reach ... We need mental health legislation and educational initiatives in this country right now. I'd love to have Selena Gomez go on Mayim's podcast bc she gets it too and has such a reach. She has great ideas about mental health education for kids and a lot of insight into social media. I just feel like people would organize around this well and we can make a change here. Phenomenal conversation, thank you!!! ♥️ I have trauma and HSP, and the while story about the fire engine is so true and the "hear" what people really think gave me whole body chills. I wpuld describe it exactly the way Mayim did. I was sensitive my entire life but impacted my life severely after leaving domestic violence and a diagnosis of PTSD.

@@ReallyFamous thank you 😊

[@robinjaime]

Wow!!! You just described me to a freaking “T”! I have the same super power!! Damn. I am blown away right now. I’ve always said, “I am all or nothing”. Everything is either all in or not at all for me. (Usually all in, 🤪🤗) I have struggled my whole entire life feeling as you do; I see in patterns. I am a nurse so in any situation, ie: at a party or at work, coming home, picking up food and I survey my surroundings and the people. I do a complete head to toe assessment, noting any irregularities, But I just realized it isn’t just the health and wellness aspect of their being (their color, any swelling, breathing patterns, non verbal pain), but I just realized right now that my assessment includes an energy or emotional assessment, as well. I “size” them up and that mere ‘seconds scan’ tells me so much. So then I can incorporate their emotional pain or irritation into their symptoms to help alleviate it and/or find the solution. The two of you talking helped me finally connect my dots a bit more. thank you both and many blessings to you! But what I meant to say before I went off on tangent is: I am a crier, too. And feel every emotion, with all of me. I will feel for me, for you, for “them”. I know we have a super power, mayim, and I see it as such. It is a super power because often we are able to draw in the feelings, draw in our own feelings of the same we’ve experienced in order to validate another’s feelings. Be relatable. Hold space and honor their feelings, almost sit in it with them. It’s a beautiful thing. I will say though, it’s taken me 43 years to realize the thing that challenged, scared and confused me, all of my life; that is the thing that IS ME. And is in my Arsenal of protection. And my beautiful gift. ❤️

[@edhoeser1735]

As a person who has/had Depression and Anxiety most of my life, I had many struggles that affective my life. I do remember my victories. (Which is so important to remember the victories) I was married for 30 years, unfortunately my mental health, cost me my marriage. My depression/anxiety was not controlled when I was injured at work, my 4 spinal surgeries, and unable to go back to work was a big factor the last 5 years of marriage. Mental illness is not being addressed enough, or not understanding the illness. The person who has not had mental illness, never will understand what that other person is going through or don't understand we do not have a shut off button to feel better.

[@angelamossucco2190]

Naming the concept that *mental health knowledge is a human right* opens up the door to psychology and self knowledge of the brain and human developmental needs as being a class that can begin as early as third grade. At age 9 children are able to express how they feel and they are above the veil and able to think about their experience and begin to understand what abuse and neglect are and what big T trauma is and what true self care requires and can ask for help if necessary and can become educated over the course of their given school career about the human heart and brain as Mayom Bialik has presented

[@jfouts1979]

Thank you for this - I grew up during the same time period that you did. I had a mentally ill parent - it has greatly affected me in my life, and I try very hard for my son to have a much more positive experience in some ways. My parents tried their best and are still alive and married today, but growing up in that environment dealt a lot of unexpected cards later in life, and has also always made relationships difficult. I have some rare neurologic conditions of unknown origin, and am interested in exploring the relationship between people with similar histories to my own and developing similar conditions. SInce you mentioned your background, I was wondering if you would be interested in exploring that topic with me.

[@mimmiblu6138]

It's so weird... I had to deal with pretty much the same stuff as you, even though l am older (53) and from a different background, since I am Italian (sorry for my English). Getting into a relationship was very difficult for me too and I went for a very unsual one which actually turned out much better than I thought and still is the cornerstone of my life. We have a son who seems to be pretty happy even though very shy and we do not have many social contacts (at least by our local standards).

[@jenniferhizzy6591]

HSP and empath ova here. Yes it did feel really good to know I thought i was crazy my whole life.

[@innerchimp9783]

I had really bad OCD from a very young age. I had soooo many crazy rituals, all of which had to be performed because, otherwise, I was convinced something bad would happen to my family. It consumed most of my young life and was pure hell (and got me into a lot of trouble). When I was 11 i had a thought that I could transfer all my OCD into one thing: I bought a cheap necklace (it was a string and had a Red Indian Chief attached) and I said to myself that nothing bad would ever happen as long as I wore it. This literally cured me. I didn't have to touch certain things 100s of times. I could step on pavement cracks. All because I knew that the necklace superceded everything else. I turned countless different rituals into just 1 ritual (and this ritual took no time or effort to perform). It gave me total mind security. After a while I didn't even have to wear it, or have it on my person. Hopefully this message can help others xxx

Extended Leave is 69 weeks, which can be shared between both parents, to a total of 33% of pre-leave earnings up to $344 weekly. Both parents’ jobs are guaranteed at the end of Leave. Applications for extension are considered.

[@francinetress7354]

Follow up: In Canada all costs of Birthing are covered by our no-cost Provincially-funded medical insurance, universally available to all residents of Canada. In many if not most Provinces this will also cover the costs of a Licensed Midwife, if so desired, Birthing is a time for Family joy, not crushing debt to the largely male medical establishment.

I never did get why people get angry and throw things or damage something. I could see it happening once, then realizing now the wall has to be repaired (costs money and time) or something has to be replaced, and then doing it a second, third etc time.

Is "you know" an example of OCD, or just a funny habit? :) After you finally figure out that you are having panic attacks, after you trigger, you still have to deal with the time it takes for the adrenaline to burn off, which can be another 30 min of fun. :( Help is out there!

Help is out there -- a true and important fact. You don't have to do it alone.

Big kids in adult bodies. Endeed. It is for me beautiful, I believe in God... the Father of Jesus and God of Israel... and when Bialik said that I just went back to the story of Jacob when He was like 60 or something like that and his mother told him to enmascarade himself like his brother, with furry arms and his clothes and go to his father and take the blessing that his father was suppose to give his brother... and Jacob did exactly that. You would think they were teenagers because it dosn't say the age explicitely, but when you look into the story you realize they were old man, 60 y olds!. We never stopr growing and I am glad I have a good Father in heaven who I can look up to and will give me what I actually need... maybe not so many toys, maybe not so many silences, or cuddles at the wrong time, but a God that actually knows who I am. Thank you for the interview and Mayim for opening your heart.

Oh I wish I could have a massage right now

Mayim is an honest person, so, her therapy is probably more effective. I imagine a dishonest person would have a much harder time.

[@silkesto580]

Why would someone choose therapy and then not be honest? That's like saying i choose to buy a car and not drive it

[@ReallyFamous]

It does happen, believe it or not. Sometimes people would start therapy with me because someone else told them to, or because they felt like they "should" be in therapy but didn't really want to or didn't believe in it or simply weren't ready to share certain things about themselves. It's so much more powerful when you're honest, of course.

Why does Mayim look so much thinner here then on Call Me Kat?

Just step on my toes wont'ya

Hmmm planning that you want to continue psychotherapy your entire life pretty much sets you up for it. When we set our intentions we have built a blueprint for our future. So I guess you ( Myiam) have trouble seeing yourself well and independent. There is an internal knowing within all of us that can be honed as we mature so we aren't so dependent on others to make us feel good about ourselves and make us okay.

I love Mayim and enjoyed the conversation but feel the need to mention that some of the different convoluted experiences mentioned around HSP aren't related to HSP. Sensory sensitivities and overwhelm can be the result of a diverse brain ( I view HSP like a very mild ADHD or the lowest end of autism spectrum where only the sensory burn occurs and people otherwise present as highly functional, perhaps with an addition of misophonia or other sensory processing 'difference'). But the vigilance of a trauma response will also hyper-react to environmental signals. These are different things. And empathy and "mind-reading" aka deciphering the emotional subtext are coping strategies. It would have been nice if there would have been more clarification because that part may confuse viewers. HSP as a diagnosis/personality type isn't really backed by science, either, as far as I know. I appreciate that Mayim finds relief in relating these experiences to that label! The point of my interjection is just my awareness of her educational ambition and I would hope that maybe she there will be a later opportunity to expand on this not-really-a-sickness syndrome that seems to sit under so many umbrellas at once! ☂️ Maybe by will of good fortune this plea to unravel HSP through the lens of neuroscience makes it to her this way?? 🙏🏻

Yes! Agreed! The only political motivation I have is for mental health, housing and equality in equity, and democratic choice FUELED by information that empowers people to be a driving force in such groups where that demographic is chronically silent and disenfranchised, plainly voiceless.

Kids definitely KNOW. TICKTOCK..UGH
