STATE OF MIND with MAURICE BENARD: SHARON LAWRENCE

[@catherinerodriguez4598]

Love, love, love Sharon Lawrence. She is such a huge talent, so gifted. Have been a fan of hers since NYPD Blue and her romance Sipowitz. No matter what she does, it is a blessed event. Live long and prosper Sharon.

[@frangordon2790]

Thank you Maurice and Sharon for this enlightening discussion on the south, integration, and especially the advances in psychiatry in treating bipolar disorders, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and other issues. Sharon is so well spoken and as a psychologist, everything she said is 100% accurate. Maurice, you are truly giving a gift to everyone with your honesty and vulnerability. ❤

[@Mia-sp8jc]

Yes❤ Maurice's vulnerability x honesty is so deep and true. We trust Maurice❤ Sharon L. is one of my favorite actors and hearing her thoughts makes me admire Sharon all the more.❤ Thanks again Maurice for this program which I find to be excellent therapy. Love always❤❤❤

[@pamelamanfra5382]

This has been one of my favorite State of Mind episodes. Sharon Lawrence shared such a wealth of information that isn’t that well known.

[@tabathaholder9993]

Love her. Watched her 4 years. We appreciate. You Maurice benard. 4 all that you do. N. Give. To the fans

[@BarbCosgrove-q5u]

Sharon is one Smart talented Woman. Great Interview Maurice .

[@donnan8648]

Wonderful interview,Maurice/Sharon. It would be a good one to hear her husband talk here on his work. He is doing things I have not heard before.

[@karenjones9667]

I am a firm believer in psychiatry. I know I inherited my anxiety and depression from my mom and have been with my psychiatrist for 4 years. Like Mo, my anxiety just about got me but I was fortunate enough to find the right person to help me and does so to this day. Thank you both for a great discussion

[@kimharner6437]

Sharon. Thank you for your willingness to be on SOM. What you had to share needed to be heard. I do hope your husband will agree to an interview with Maurice. I can only imagine the wealth of information he can share with us. I'm bipolar with seizures and a family hx of mental illness. I also suffer with cerebral palsy that is worsening. That would tap into my orthopedic needs. And oh yeah it is thought I had a stroke in utero. Bottom line. ... Thank you for being open, honest and vulnerable. Blessings, Kim H.

[@suziQ27]

Sharon Lawrence ♥NYPD, Rizzoli & Isles, Drop Dead Diva, Hallmark movies -- and so much more... Beautiful, both inside & out, and an amazing actress. Love her! 😊 Maurice, as always - thank you...♥

[@stevebruce5612]

John Homa and his journey are truly inspirational! Thank you for bringing out his story and journey!

[@pamedwards7708]

Love you Maurice!!!smashed like button ect!!!❤❤❤

[@lucystallaert2928]

God bless you Maurice for brining Sharon Lawrence aboard ❤ The natives and blacks have suffered enough and it is long overdue to talk also about mental health. I went to the cemetery to visit my mom and dad today and my father knew a lot about the History of other countries. The way Sharon explains History is more interesting and true because I have to say I really struggled in school. I’m a suicide survivor but I want people to realize that there is light at the end of the tunnel. 🇨🇦🇮🇹🙏

[@MarchandP]

I stumbled onto your channel about a month ago and so happy that I did! I’ve watched you for many years and have been a fan for a long time. I appreciate your openness, honesty, and have learned a lot about mental illness. I will definitely pick up your book and pass on. I have binge watched quite a few of your State of Mind shows, I’m so very happy for the peace of mind that you have found. All the very best Maurice to you and your family. Keep up doing your show, you are making a difference to a lot of peoples lives. ❤ Marchand

[@pamedwards7708]

Thankyou Sharon forcoming on love your acting!!! Maurice you know love you so very much!!!❤❤❤

[@michaelmetcalf2715]

Thanks Mr. Benard for everything you do for mental health. State of Mind helps me so much. I suffer from extreme anxiety and depression. Attempted suicide in 2013. I was blessed to survive that. Amazing show and guests. Great interview with Sharon Lawrence. 💪👑 Always love GH. You gotta be the best actor in daytime. Much continued success and happiness Mr. Benard. 🙏✨

[@jenschoice]

What a wonderful show this was. So interesting and informative. Thank you Sharon for teaching us through your stories, and the roles you play. Mauricio, you knocked it out of the park again bro!! ♥️

[@vickymoberly4810]

Love ya'll and loved hearing of our history, I lived here from North Carolina and live in a small town not far from Cherokee

[@jazzjournal]

Awesome discussion! Sharon is very knowledgeable on this subject and explains things very well especially about electric shock therapy. This could save many lives!

[@Lisafallgirl420]

So true. My mom was originally diagnosed with manic depression. I had no idea as a kid or young adult what actually she suffered from. It took me until I started school in 2011 at 45 to understand fully all that is involved with mental illness.

[@purple_bboop5392]

Another wonderful episode. So happy that I feel like these help so many people that are suffering from mental illness. It sure helped mine tremendously . Thanks so much. ❤🙌🏼

[@jeanmarienuno8979]

That was one of the most amazing and interesting state of minds !They are all good but sometimes you get one that’s just really a gut punch which we need now and then.

[@PatriciaMahaffy]

Yeah spot on.Women especially with divide and todays society demands.❤Beautiful ,informative interview ,could have a Part two.

[@debbieramsey-hanks3757]

Always such a profound actress with her own classic sense of style .Always a powerful, thought provoking show with something to say and the revelation of our hearts.

[@janetduhy6364]

I watch you every week. The changes in your area for talking is beautiful. The ambience is perfect now!

[@barbt00]

Wow, that was the best State of Mind. I learned so much. For one thing, I didn't know that mental illness is hereditary. It makes so much sense as I look at my own family. Thank you both!

[@SusanSzaszSpinky25]

Thank you Sharon Lawrence! You have so much knowledge that you shared with all of us. History is very interesting & you do have a voice to tell stories. It would be very interesting if your husband would come on State of Mind too! To hear from another Doctor would be a treat. I have five desperate hours 1997 ready to load. Thank you again for going so deep on Mental Health its so important. We all do struggle, from time to time.

[@rie20100]

Maurice & Sharon, I appreciated this interview. Maurice, just by being who you are, your guests are always open & authentic. You made a "choice from your heart" when you started State of Mind, a beautiful gift to all of us! Much love to you & your family! ❤️

[@ritagreenlaw8923]

Awesome interview

[@patriciacampbell9780]

Deep, insightful, and informative conversation. Susan, thanks for sharing.

[@denyss3476]

Thank you, Maurice B, for having this blog, i just happened on it and decided to watch because you are one of my favorite actors on GH. You are so good at what you do, i never knew you were in any crisis. I'm totally elated that you are still here and helping others, i'm sure this is God-sent to rescue many lives. Sharon, thank you also, for the rich, deep knowledge you have displayed on this session. I also love your work in NYPD Blue and the other series you were in, i forgot the name at this moment. Both of you keep on doing great work and take care of yourselves. Be Blessed 🙏🏽🙌🏾❤️

[@debbiesmith297]

I will always watch you and love your openness Today was special to me because it was an actor that wasn’t full of their self! So good to see❤️ you aren’t either but some of these men lately🤦‍♀️

[@preacher1138]

I understand. One of my best friends and mentors took his own life about 8 years ago. It still hurts to this day. Someday it does get to a point where you remember the good times and the loss is more manageable. It’s different for everyone.

[@lorettadais3345]

Wow, Sharon Lawrence just took over Maurice Bernard's show

[@augustlane8843]

Great guess I hope u are enjoying your Sunday

[@ruthannkirkwood]

My best friend took her life she was like my sister it happened on August 6th 2024 I do not know how to deal with it my heart is so broken❤❤

[@GinaCaddeo]

I've tried 6 times. I lost the respect of my 26 year old twin daughters because of it. I lost my 2 year old grandson. Thank you for all you do. It keeps me going❤

[@pamedwards7708]

Omgoodness I tried 1 time and when I saw the hurt and pain on my son's face my family's faces I swore I would never try again!!! I haven't!!! If your considering this first think about your loved ones and the pain you would cause them😢😢😢😢

[@UniqueTraumaObsessed]

Wish Maurice would do a podcast on how he feels about the gotti movie on lifetime he was in. I’m obsessed with the gotti story.

[@debrawitherspoon2201]

Ii tape the shows so I don't miss them if I have to go to the doctor or something else I've been watching GH since the 60s

[@Teelee56]

Thank you for explaining the things that went on in the 60’s.. my mother attempted suicide 3 times when i was a child and i believe she received electro shock therapy back then as well. The family just kept telling us that my Mom was in the hospital but not why. Unfortunately she passes from ALS, the most horrible disease, and that sent me into a depression. From the grief counseling i was lead to get the help i needed from anxiety and depression as i was having suicidal thoughts. I never want to not take my meds as i am afraid i would get those thoughts again thank you Maurice & Ms Sharon …

[@Teelee56]

She also took lithium, but no consisantly.. she said when the weird thoughts started, she knew it was time to go back on the meds…

[@EbonyCoulter6723]

Have you thought about having other people on state of mind from different shows?

[@sharonmarcialawrencehunter7552]

I love the name for my full name is Sharon Marcia Lawrence Hunter ❤❤

[@jordenmercedes1394]

You need to have finola on!!!

[@rosepeddle4940]

Sorry for your lost Maurice

[@lisa4172]

I know of a family of 6 that lost 4 siblings to drugs and/or suicide and one child died in an accident as a child.

[@JuliaWilson-xb2ws]

I hope I am not going to miss it

[@whosays1977]

Again, it has to start from an understanding that we are all here due to other people's decisions, especially into a socio-economic system we never agreed to beforehand. Also, we all need to learn about the rugged individualism that MLK warned about and fighting against it. Also, why are people having babies? Is it to have a baby or to actually raise a fully functioning adult who has the critical thinking skills to comprehend how to empathize with others who have had different lived experiences. We need universal healthcare (including mental health) free at the point-of-service and taking the profit motive out of healthcare so that unions can free up what they have to negotiate for when it comes to wages and safety. Contrary to what people have been taught, we can fund these things because we have our own money, and the value of money is truly arbitrary. It's just a question of what is truly most important - profits for the elitist predatory class or the allowance of everyone thriving for as long as possible since they are already on this planet?

Bring Drew Garrett on

[@lillianmcgrew217]

I am so sad 😔 . About what happened.

[@darylschmalz54]

Sonny do you really message random people

[@KathieGulley-py5mw]

The deco in “Sonny’s” apartment on GH is depressing and frightening. I know “Sonny” is dark and depressed but couldn’t the decorate a little bit less creepy?

[@lisabyles867]

The Natives were not made to walk but were offered transportation but refused.

[@judyformica9592]

Maurice you didn’t get a chance to talk much!

[@sallywilliams9047]

I love you on General Hospital and I enjoy your podcasts but I don’t like your rapping.
