Huge favor to ask, Breakdown Family - if you enjoyed this episode, please take a quick second to double check that you're subscribed to our channel, and even consider giving the video a quick "Like". It really is the best way to support MBB and help us continue to make more awesome episodes like this one. We can't thank you enough!! 🙌🧠🙏
I doubled checked and I am subscribed to this channel. I absolutely love this channel, and I think it is filled with awesome episodes. I love you so much Mayim and I love supporting MBB and being here! ❤
I can't tell you how much I love this Lady. I just ordered her book. After my first bout of Covid four years ago and going off of 36 years of prescribed benzidiazapines, surviving grief from two family suicides and two loved one's cancers and two cats getting eaten by Coyotes,not to mention a crazy past and insane PTSD, I am trying to re-regulate my nervous system. It feels like it is on fire and I feel like I am living in an almost constant hell. Me and my characters are going to read Jill's book and try to find peace. I had two heart attacks and a mini stroke last year(Covid related) and it doesn't escape me how lucky and I am. I am so grateful for this beautiful life. I get high off of nature too.
I love your mindset. You see the beauty in your life and are grateful even though you’ve had so much heartbreak and health challenges. Your story touched my heart ❤❤
All the best to you. You have great courage. Havening Techniques helped me a great deal during something similar. It’s a neurologically based technique used for trauma. Super simple and miraculous. Lots of free videos online.🙏🏻✨
The story about the doc touching your toe meant a lot to me. I'm a nurse in long term care and do these little things. I talk to people assuming there stuck inside and need to be "seen". Some days I'm so busy I rush and/or think I'm being too woo-woo. Hearing that story will stick with me and I'll never be too busy to touch a toe again!!!
I can’t find the accurate words to describe how phenomenal this podcast is. I’m sharing it with many people, but don’t know how to share it with the world. Thank you all for the podcast of the century.
Absolutely one of my favorite episodes as in it touched so significantly as took care of my father after a severe stroke where he learned to walk, talk, eat, dress himself and even drive before a massive stroke during a routine surgery a year later took his life at 59 yrs old, took care of my mother in my home with dementia for 10 years before she died peacefully in her sleep, and took care of my husband with multiple ailments created by a medication that gave him lupus and ultimately killed him. I want that healing connection with my own cells and will continue to learn! I appreciate your program more than I can put into words!❤
@@Obsidian_Mirror Tedx - My Stroke of Insight Hay House Featured an introduction to Whole Brain Living 4 day webinar The Jill Bolte Taylor has loads of videos - "Pain from the Past Belong in the Past - The Brain Bar Salon" is really good too.
Mayim, thank you for all you do for humanity. This topic is, in my opinion, THE MOST IMPORTANT TOPIC of ALL time. Everyone in this world is walking around with some sort of trauma that needs to be addressed, whether it's big T or little T trauma, it's absolutely the key to mental, emotional and physical wellness. Lets not even get started with inherited trauma (epigenetics) which only adds to the trauma load. BRAVO MS MAYIM!!!! You are truly using your power for good in the world. ❤️❤️❤️ my respect for you keeps growing and growing.
With my actual hectic life, learning about the four characters and the tools from Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor has been the better and much needed thing for me today. Thanks Mayim, JC, guest and MBB team! So, guys out there: SUBSCRIBE!!!
This was an amazing, intriguing and inspirational interview! Jill’s determination and her mother’s determination to reach through to her and not give up. It was a truly fascinating discussion showing how aware she was without the tools to communicate it. Explaining the ‘S’ had not meaning to her as a letter and as a sound stood out for me. That she could get herself out of the unknowing into her beautiful, succinctly authentic and aware being is amazing. An inspiration for us all. ❤
This is an insanely good video! I am so inspired by this woman and what she’s gone through. After a year of a major health crisis, and trying to get my life back on track, I’m newly inspired to see it all in a different light. Thank you so much! ❤
My stroke of insight got me through the trauma of the strokes that occurred in my right-side Basil Ganglia in 2012. She's amazing. I gotta check out Whole Brain Living. Dr. Taylor is amazing!!!
Wow, talk about timing. Years back I bought her book and loved it. Yesterday I got another copy to gift (Stroke of insight). My mother had a stroke. Also my husband had a brain trauma. Just found out I have had a mild stroke. I started to read the book again. How interesting to hear her on your program. Thanks
Massive brain aneurysm in 2016 (best shape of my life) I've still tried to make sense of my depression that happened ever since. Thank you for putting into words that aligned with the new world I'm learning to live. A bit lonely, yet more self-love. Appreciate being able to hear everything she had to explain. I may have been missing my old favorite character, organising. My mind is so connected with the universe now more than ever, yet life got disconnected. Trying to balance.
This episode is what we all need to pay attention to once in our lifetime. Discussions like these never come across unless we are reading Dr. Bolte Taylor's book. Sooo appreciate her❤. Your wit Mayim is so right on 😅 1:30:27--1:31:52. Thank you!
My worlds have collided: I love Mayim Bialik, I love Jill Bolte Taylor, I love angel cards, my favourite line in Stroke of Insight is "like a whale gliding through a sea of silent euphoria". Thank you all for this interview!
I love Mayim and this channel! Each episode tops the last. Thank you for combining science, spirituality, real life challenges (or 💩rather!), and being sooooo honest, authentic, brilliant, and real. ❤❤❤❤❤
I LOVE your podcast. THIS episode is the absolute BEST EVER. My mind is blown and I am so grateful. Thank you to you and Jonathan for always asking the questions that are on my mind and for navigating the conversations with the utmost respect for the guest, one another and your listeners. Truly…🤯🙏🏻💜
Bear with me people. This was enlightening and prompted questions. Jill stated that it takes the brain on average of 90 seconds to come back into “character 1”. What about those who have suffered trauma? There are schools of thought that believe that trauma is a physiological affect ( Bessel Van Der Kolk and Stephen Porges) that has limitations when treated from a top- down cognitive level, hence why we are seeing a shift in trauma being treated through somatic modalities. In reference to children, aren’t their character 1’s biologically underdeveloped, therefore less accessible to them for emotional regulation? Isn’t that why they biologically are wired to learn regulation overtime through natural biological processes and how their caregiver reflects their own ability to emotionally regulate? I appreciate Jill’s conceptual model to help shift our understanding and move toward healthier living but it may have limitations for some. We must also acknowledge that the body has intelligence we are just beginning to realize has potentially greater implications when it comes to shifting out of our “character 2”, nervous system part.
I had this experience, too. It occurred to me that language is built upon a false premise of separation. A chair is separate from a table, which is separate from the floor, etc. Every word we use to communicate is based on the illusion of boundaries, definitions, and separations that are entirely fabricated (man-made) and not true to life. The truth is that everything is a part of everything else, and when your ability to speak and think in terms of language is pulled offline, suddenly you see the world as it really is. (And the illusion of your self as separate from everything else disappears as well.) The difficult thing is, once you regain your normal mode of consciousness, you can never accurately communicate the experience, other than to say, "Words cannot express..."
Would love to hear Jill converse with Ian McGilchrist, autor of the Master and his Emissary Theres so much wisdom in their approach to how our brains function
So very glad JBT was on the Breakdown! Hearing from Dr Jill a few years back that we have TWO amygdalas (and that those are the gatekeepers between left/right brain comm) was a HUGE a ha for me. And I'm intrigued by how this maps to IFS. The way I see it is that each of JBT's "characters" correspond to the larger groups in IFS. Character 1 are the managers, character 2 the exiles, character 3 the firefighters, and character 4 the Self. What I also like is the idea of bringing ALL to the party. JBT's brain huddle is Dick Schwartz's orchestra. This means having character 4/Self as "orchestra leader" and not solely focusing on living in Self-land being blissed out all the time. I had a spiritualizer part that was relentless on that goal. BTW, I msg'd Dr Jill back then that I see my 4 characters as the 4 daughters in Little Women. Not an exact fit, but very close! 😁
What an amazing lady. She is a true inspiration. My character 2 is telling me to get up off the couch and fold my laundry lol. Thanks for another awesome show.
So glad Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor addressed psychedelics something my peers indulge in - I don't trust narcotics unless they are prescribed - great episode Mayim & Jonathan ❤
Psychedelics are not narcotics (science!). Let google be your friend. Psychedelics should be done with a sitter and afterward do an integration session with a certified mental health professional.
People who get stuck in whatever, including meditation practice, it's their attachment to expectation. Learning to let go of that expectation is the key.❤🎉🪇
Incredible! It's like an explanation of life itself. I'm commenting before it ended, but it occurs to me that alcohol totally turns off that character that warns you not to go in the neighbors pool.😅
I am mentally ill with PTSD as well as bipolar and I take a class called dialectical behavioral therapy which is supposed to help you retrain your brain not to react so strongly to your triggers and therapy called EMDR to try to let go of a lot of the trauma from my past have learned many skills there such as radical acceptance
At first I had a hard time understanding Dr Taylor until she described the self that was manic and angry and living in the past and lashing out, to the self that suddenly took charge to answer the phone! Yay! I'm not bi-polar! Well... perimenopausal hormones make that questionable...but it was so enlightening to hear that we can do this with purposeful thought! Now to practice this...yikes! What a challenge! When I'm feisty...I'm feisty! LOL...to redirect that to a normal level makes me feel like I'm gonna blow a vein in my brain. 😊
My sister-in-law’s son experimented with psychedelics in freshman year of college and was forced to leave due to a psychotic episode. Progressed to the point where he murdered his father-gruesome. His aunt had been diagnosed with schizophrenia. It’s abhorrent that no medical staff had ever warned him never to experiment with drugs given his family history.
omg i learned so so so much. and yes the best channel thank you Dr. Bialik and thank you John and thank you Jill, going to get that book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My brother got schizophrenia entering the army Boot Camp experimenting with psychedelics. He was given an honorable discharge and sent home even before Boot Camp ended. He was institutionalized for the rest of his life up until an early death a few years ago.
I have read both of your books Jill and I'm glued to you wherever you appear. So fascinating to hear you speak. I have a serious question. In your statement about your brother who ended up with a lifetime of schizophrenia "because"... (cause from) He dabbled with these drugs as a teenager. I've never seen the evidence that would support this and if there is evidence of it please share it with me. It's fascinating. I have the same questions about my brother's dabbling and then becoming schizophrenic but millions of others who aren't dabbling also become schizophrenic. Please State anything you know in this area of study. ❤️🥰
Jonathan I love that sweater/ sweatshirt. And I love this podcast. You bring out the best of Mayim and guests! ❤ at least that is my humble opinion from listening to this great podcast 👏 with so so many cool and interesting topics and guests!
Okay, this is interesting synthesizing this with my parts work in therapy. I have a part who is usually a little girl, and her two modes are 1) freaking out and 2) doing art/play. So according to Dr. Bolte Taylor's parts, it's the two emotional sides of my brain: characters 2 (trauma) and 3 (flow state). It's interesting that lately, since my mental health has been better, Character 3 has been presenting, not as a little girl, but as a more mature person (teen? early twenties?). It's almost like Character 1 is mixing with Character 3 to make me more rational and better adjusted emotionally lol // It also sounds like Character 3 is what happy-hypomania felt like for me (as opposite to anxious-hypomania). In the moment, experimenting, enjoying, not giving a single shit about what anybody thinks of me (Character 1).
This explanation, of shutting down the left brain to feel oneness with the world, makes me wonder if some people are innately born with easier access that “spiritual “ oneness?
Loved this, love her ❤also, my brother also became schizophrenic from using pot and shrooms as a teenager. The version of himself before no longer exists.
Thank you for this very interesting subject. I have been a fan of psychology since I was a teenager. About a year ago I had an unusual pain on. I forgot what side of my brain, but it was kind of a sharp pain which I’ve never experienced before and it didn’t last very long thank God I was just wondering what that might’ve been. I’m gonna tell my doctor about it when I schedule my next meeting.
THE GREATEST episode ever - I have watched this 3 times over the week - the absolute joy in your face Mayim when talking with Jill is so infectious - I love Jills enthusiasm when talking about her learned experience. ALOT that we can all learn from !!
Brilliant podcast 🤗Logically this makes absolute sense however as a late diagnosis female with Autism, ADHD, CPTSD, Dyslexia, SPD etc…finding “balance” in this rat race society is near impossible when balance/peace in my opinion isn’t truly valued although it’s what we need to thrive instead of just survive 😓☮️
Great episode. Love your podcast ❤ and both of you! I would love to see an episode with Teal Swan. I think she would be a great guest for this podcast.
I’m only halfway thru, so forgive me if you cover it later in the episode but what if the last part of the brain that stops working in death is character four? Does that explain NDEs? Spirituality? Religion?
Too many commercials! I’m paying for youtube premium so I don’t have to watch commercials. I know youtubers need a revenue stream, but if you need to embed sponsored messages in the content, bunch them all together. Spreading a ton of commercials all through the content is as annoying as watching old school cable TV.
(Notes to myself: ca. 23:07 "Not to see the wood/forrest for the trees". So the brain's ~left hemisphere sees the trees (zooming in; details, boundaries between things; inhibits big picture), while the ~right one sees the wood/forrest (zooming out, no discernment of details, ~blurred vision; knowingness, consciousness different from the one focussing on details). Can I use this example to exercise "switching hemispheres"? )
wondering where serotonin , dopamine, etc fit in with the parts. if one , or both of the neurotransmitters is burned out/low it seems the 'thinking /feeling' process is blocked or decreased to direct the inner self. Very difficult to bring someone / self out of that dark hole of depression/lethargy/manic, etc through just talking to oneself or others.
im opening 2 windows at the same time maybe i can find some kind of zen hz hypnosis background music or maybe the ace ventura soundtrack... so i can be extra chill to listen straight thru :)

Man, this is the series Inside Out explained by a neuroanatomist! 1:29:45 "It's like living with a really healthy team inside of my head.."
This was truly inspiring and worth the 2 somthing hours i spent listening to it ❤ 😅
In simple terms
Let go and let God
This is amazing. I needed this now more than ever.
Book ordered. Thank you for this interview and every other.
Great episode, Mayim! ❤️
Best interview ever thanks
LOVE LOVE LOVE your podcasts ❤
THE GREATEST episode ever - I have watched this 3 times over the week - the absolute joy in your face Mayim when talking with Jill is so infectious - I love Jills enthusiasm when talking about her learned experience. ALOT that we can all learn from !!
Brilliant podcast 🤗Logically this makes absolute sense however as a late diagnosis female with Autism, ADHD, CPTSD, Dyslexia, SPD etc…finding “balance” in this rat race society is near impossible when balance/peace in my opinion isn’t truly valued although it’s what we need to thrive instead of just survive 😓☮️
One of my fave episodes 🥰🙏🏼
Can’t wait for this episode!!! My brain is doing cartwheels with giddy antipation to learn new stuff!!! 🧠🤸🏽♀️🗝️☮️
Oh my goodness!!!!!!!!! Thank you!
Great episode. Love your podcast ❤ and both of you!
I would love to see an episode with Teal Swan. I think she would be a great guest for this podcast.
1:26:56 "Wee! Ive got little toes" 😆🥰
I’m only halfway thru, so forgive me if you cover it later in the episode but what if the last part of the brain that stops working in death is character four? Does that explain NDEs? Spirituality? Religion?
What the world happened to mama Bev? Haven't seen her in awhile.
Like I Alway's Say - 😏 The AWESOMENESS Continues ✊😊👊 Fantastic Episode! 👌😆👍🍁
So much helpful information!!
Yes yes yes ! Give me five ! 😊 You are EXTRAORDINARY ❤
Too many commercials! I’m paying for youtube premium so I don’t have to watch commercials. I know youtubers need a revenue stream, but if you need to embed sponsored messages in the content, bunch them all together. Spreading a ton of commercials all through the content is as annoying as watching old school cable TV.
Great discussion 🎉
(Notes to myself:
ca. 23:07 "Not to see the wood/forrest for the trees". So the brain's ~left hemisphere sees the trees (zooming in; details, boundaries between things; inhibits big picture), while the ~right one sees the wood/forrest (zooming out, no discernment of details, ~blurred vision; knowingness, consciousness different from the one focussing on details).
Can I use this example to exercise "switching hemispheres"?
)
wondering where serotonin , dopamine, etc fit in with the parts. if one , or both of the neurotransmitters is burned out/low it seems the 'thinking /feeling' process is blocked or decreased to direct the inner self. Very difficult to bring someone / self out of that dark hole of depression/lethargy/manic, etc through just talking to oneself or others.
Dr. Bialik your are very cool! Outstanding example very positive and successful woman in several Great of peoples activity!
Not everyone has an inner dialogue. Wonder how they would handle an emergency like this.
Love this so much!
