Kevin Smith Relives Childhood Trauma That No One Should Ever Experience! | Wild Ride! Clips

[@mardiblow1550]

Steve-O showing everyone what active listening really is.

[@christinathein951]

Yes! So proud of him this episode!

[@Herestravy420]

Dude you give kevin a mic and he just goesssssssssssssss

[@MegaSilverBlood]

Unlike Howard Stern who is a nigthmare to listen to, interrupts every 3 seconds and is very cynical when he asks these more personal questions

[@jizzledfreq]

As he says at the end of the video: “How old were you?” 🤣 In one ear and out the other.

[@elusivelectron]

This is definitely a skill. You will learn this in group therapy.

[@aaronburratwood.6957]

Holy crap, as someone that’s been in therapy for trauma for many years, this is great. Thank You Kevin Smith & Steve-O particularly for this segment. ❤

[@DanSmith-j8y]

Therapists are like drug dealers. They get you hooked and then you're a junkie for life.

[@l.m.crawford2480]

Crazy to see these revelations from Kevin Smith, glad that he could get the help that he needed. I want to add a quick note here- at the end, the convo turns to "minimizing" things... I felt that, hugely. Two tours in Iraq, 20 years in the Army, loads of crazy shit in my childhood- I minimized it. It's a survival mechanism, big time. Lots of vets do it. It's easy, and in a lot of ways, it helps you hide it away as selflessness or bravado ("aww, shucks, I was just doing my job")- it's not. It's serious shit, and you have to deal with it, and you have to see it as significant first, so you can confront it and move past it. If you even think that you need help, you probably need help- so go get help. Love yourself so you can love others the right way.

[@thepatsyfamily]

I can relate to Kevin taking care of his grandma from a young age and being a people pleaser.

[@Khaleesi_Of_Kittens]

Same.

[@lilflowerbud]

Same, when I was a kid and took care of my grandmother while watching her develop Alzheimers.

[@HummingBird-q5g]

Thank you Kevin. You helped me right now. And I am grateful for you being honest. You help things to be better in some way in life. While we all go on in some way. I hope you have a great day. Popo.

I have such respest for Kevin Smith. As an aspiring filmmaker, his work is an inspiration. As a human being, he is simply awesome!

[@narcodium]

lol he failed upwards

[@PitBullPlaysGames]

a inspiration? lmao no

[@tonywynn2]

Word of advice, my friend, don’t be an aspiring filmmaker. Be a filmmaker. To aspire does not accomplish anything be the thing you want to be. If you have only 30 seconds a day to devote to be your filmmaker then use that 30 seconds. Fuck Aspiring, be what you wanna be

[@thomasfarrenkopf7292]

@@tonywynn2 in that case, because I do have a body of work, I am a filmmaker. What would have been more appropriate to clarify was an aspiring feature filmmaker. I will keep making. All the same, thank you for the reminder. :)

He brought it into the 21st century. You’re behind the times. Catch up. Otherwise just stay the fuck back there please.

[@DanSmith-j8y]

He seems like a huge asshole.

[@DanSmith-j8y]

@@tonyelliott5000 It's funny, when he was doing He-Man he claimed to be a huge He-Man fan, but in an early Smodcast (#24) he's talking to Walt Flanagan and says neither of them were a fan of that cartoon (not surprising given their ages, especially Flanagan who would have been 14 or 15 at the time).

[@Deluxedracula]

Steve-O, Kevin Smith thank you BOTH for this and you. This kind of honest conversation (and Steve-O’s active listening which honestly is inspirational in its own right) is really important and really important to me personally. Thank you.

[@beamertoy]

That was amazing to listen to. Made me really reflect on past traumas I may have minimized. And I know that I minimize things all the time. I haven’t gone to see anybody about what I’m going thru but not only does it help to talk things out, it’s also great to just hear other ppl out

[@Mikel9999-vh3cb]

I have no idea why this popped up in my KZbin feed, but it I am glad I did. Minimizing trauma, especially as a child is a fundamental coping mechanism we need in the here and now, but we need address these real traumas to keep us whole as we move on in life. Same goes for terrible things that may happen when we are adults. It is excruciatingly hard to discuss and let go of the guilt for things we did not cause, so I thank Kevin and Steve-O and crew for the bravery to talk about this ❤. That said, Kevin your commitment to your fashion style is commendable, but a little bit funny😂.

[@joe_higachi]

Boo hoo go cry in a corner

The “fat kid” that’s always the “last pick”, I can totally relate this. 30+ years later it took to realize that feeling was there.

[@paulbirkbeck1790]

Kevin smith has brought so much happiness and entertainment to people like me, it's always great to hear him talk and thankfully he is getting the help he needed❤

[@Mr_Hertz_Donut]

Unfortunately to get good help it cost 40-50 grand……

Yup. You can have the McDonald's deal for $10k and be back and worse off in 18 more months. 😳

[@bigdiscenergy]

This was great! Ty for sharing! So many people don't deal with all these emotional stresses from their past.

[@Novastar.SaberCombat]

That's because the majority of people on the planet lack coin, connections, crews, clout, computer code, control, corporate communities, and opulent opportunities. In the case of Steve-O and Kevin S., it's pretty obvious that they're millionaires. 💪😎✌️ Money, manpower, and marketing are everything. Without 'em, ya ain't got sheet! 😂

[@reggiep75]

I recently found out that I have Complex PTSD stemming from childhood trauma from my parents chaotic marriage, the divorce and then living with a mother with undiagnosed bipolar disorder and her endless attempts to commit suicide. I had felt, for years, decades even, that there was 'something not right with me' but couldn't put my finger on it and it felt like a 'monster' swimming just under the surface of the water waiting to get me. Does finding out what's wrong with me make it any easier? Not really as I've got a lot of self diagnosis and care to continue with and it'll probably take decades to undo the knots in my life. I know that I don't walk alone as there's millions of us, who've suffered at the hands of others, but we made it this far so keep on going. Onwards and upwards!

Beautiful conversation. Really love Dogma, Red State, and more but nothing can beat just listening to the man talk.

[@ericrunes728]

I’ve listened to Kevin smith off an on for a long time. I respect the attempt at honesty and self-awareness that he’s acknowledged his “persona” vs. his real self. However, I think he’s clearly still having difficulty letting go of that need to be a “storyteller, monologuer,center of attention self deprecating self promoter.” Also I think Steve-O in the most respectful way possible is picking up on that by his facial expressions and allowance of someone else to ramble for 11 minutes without taking a breath on his podcast.

[@sobbyhasselhoff]

He has no self awareness.

[@michaelgriffin3537]

Yeah he's still always "the other guy," even without the weed etc. I miss the chilled out funny Kevin who left about 15 years ago

[@silver_crone]

It’s a hard thing to get through and change. It was a good clip, and at the start of it, I see the Kevin that came out of therapy. I can also see the other persona step in a few minutes in and run with the story. And man, I get that. I do something similar and even when it’s happening, you sit there in your head yelling ‘oh my god, stop talking, what is going on’. It takes years and years of therapy, DBT and CBT to try and change what has been true for decades.

[@Khaleesi_Of_Kittens]

Thank you, Kevin, for talking about your trauma. I guarantee you're going to help SOMEONE.

Kevin Smith is such a genuine guy. Every time I hear an interview with him, I identify with him more. I wish this had gone on longer because, watching it, I realize that I minimize things, too; and I'd like to know what Kevin learned about handling and healing from that.

[@AdamNazari-k2l]

Good job Kevin! I’m a mental health crisis counselor thanks for normalizing therapy and telling your story

[@mickeyconrad8284]

I relate to Kevin so hard on so many levels. I was a fat teenager who’s always been a people pleaser. The moment I saw his work i felt at home. I had a widowmaker right before he did if I remember correctly. And I had weird sexual trauma from before I can even start to estimate. The first gift I remember getting as a child was sex based

[@russelldunmire4799]

I still hesitate to talk about trauma. Everyone’s glares and judgements hurt almost as much as the pain itself. People like to act like they care, most don’t. They prefer to judge and marginalize for their own aggrandizement. The majority of people ‘want’ to see you succeed, but they ‘like’ to see you fail.

[@Khaleesi_Of_Kittens]

Those people aren't worth your time.

[@Novastar.SaberCombat]

Unless you're wealthy, well-connected, popular, and socially accepted by the global population, *NEVER* reveal weaknesses, traumas, nor any genuine feelings. They will ALWAYS be used against you. Always. That's reality. #copium

[@jordanpadula2624]

I get not wanting to talk to random people about it, but the only way to heal from trauma is to talk about and work through it. Doing it by yourself almost always just leads to coping mechanisms, not recovering from it

One thing that bugs me about this "remove the stigma" kind of talk is that if you see any kind of therapist about anything, after that you can forget any military job or law enforcement. You think they're going to let you fly a fighter jet if you've been on anti-depressants or something? No way.

[@jamestaylor3805]

The need for "acceptance" is perhaps one the most damaging of natural human traits, and it is enforced by those around us from a very early age. Every child should be taught what judgementalism is and what it looks like to give them the best chance at being able to ignore the desire to change themselves for acceptance. Youthful bullying is almost exclusive in it's targeting of personal traits that the victim will feel unaccepted over, due the bullying itself(spoken as red head who was relentlessly bullied for my hair as an example). Never needed therapy for that because the all of the various hairdressers who cut my hair as a child universally declared their jealousy of my hair. They all wanted what I had. Then you realize that all of the bullying and lack of acceptance is in fact jealousy over a uniqueness you possess and they do not. Bullied for being a nerd, they're jealous of your intelligence. Bullied for being a geek they're jealous of your passion. Bullied for not copy pasting thier fashion, they're jealous of your independence. The personal strength you gain with realization is an absolute rudder in this storm called life.
