I was just thinking the same! Trying to take it all in lol

Haha that’s such an interesting way of viewing it, I’ve never thought of it that way!

Lol

💯

Awwe

100%

Thissss!!!

She was Whitney's psychiatrist for free. And so were you. She described narcissism while describing herself

@@BD-kg4kn really?? how? isn't she too self-aware to be a narcissist?

all the while u can tell how deeply unhappy she is

I agree! She felt like that w her Drew Barrymore interview too. I think it’s additional therapy to talk to other women who have been through similar situations!

Lol she always does that. If you watch her interviewing someone or someone interviewing her she will ask questions not to be polite because she cares about what they went through but to gain insight on answers she wants for her own issues or questions. I can't say I blame her but it's always so obvious and im thinking will the other person catch on as to the reason why she's asking this?

She has her own podcast!

her name is in the title spell it right

@@godisjihyo3615 settle down buddy honest mistake

@@rilesfomiles8662 first of all im not your buddy so dont be cute. you clicked on this video and watched it so you had to have seen the title. spelling her name is wrong is not just disrespectful, its just plain hateful and you should be ashamed

@@godisjihyo3615 I am so sorry that you are really taking me accidentally misspelling a name while paying a compliment so personally. I hope you feel better, sending you love and light

You referring to Jennette? Her mother abused her.

@@zeke7515 and what is your point?

@@zeke7515 they aren’t criticising it omg they’re saying it’s honest to admit that

Absolutely. It's such a vulnerable thing to admit especially when you've been through it in life people expect you to have empathy and compassion and when you've conditioned yourself to not feel those things towards yourself, how in the fuck do you do that for another person?

@@sheinakinn2936 codependency. Lol.

Why specify that exact age range? I’m 27 and adored iCarly back in the day 😝

I just turned 30 and I remember loving the show back in like 08 lol

Yeah ok she raised you. 🙄

I’m 27 and she raised me. Your comment is strange. Jennette herself is 30!

I don’t think the age range is the important part of the comment.

Yes. Can they start a show? This is the cutting edge trauma healing ❤️‍🩹😅

this is what therapy does to you. its so so helpful, before i went i struggled with putting thoughts into words. if you can get a therapist, DO ITTTT!!

So true , I gained a lot from this episode !

@@yayo0🦸‍♂️👉👉😮🤐😮😮🥦🦓👉

@@yayo0. Hmm. 😚😚📱😚😚😀😚😚📱

Totally! Sp perspective of W. She wanted J to feel seen and understood in a way that she hasn’t in other interviews.

I disagree, I wish she had trusted her guest and their ability to communicate and feel the feelings that come with discussing a book like the phenomenal one Jeannette wrote. It was selfish, and unnecessary, despite her intentions. She came off as obnoxious during the interview because I wanted to hear the authors voice more, not Whitney. It made listening so much more unenjoyable because it was annoying her relating everything back to her life when it was not about her.

@@adeneden5674 yes i somewhat agree with this. i can see where it could be annoying and come across as obnoxious when she kept rambling about her experiences but i also agree with thinking jeanette enjoyed this interview because talking to someone whos been through a very similar situation can be very helpful especially with their specific traumas, it makes you feel way more valid and understood. and also j kept asking her questions and bringing it back to her too. its a conversation, not a normal interview we may be used to. but yes like i said she did ramble on but it’s because shes so passionate about these conversations about mental health and childhood trauma. i understand both sides for sure

@@adeneden5674 Thats every interview iv seen with Whitney lmao i dont think she reads the comments

I think I prefer interviews lead in this style. It was such a comfortable conversation. Honestly a breathe of fresh air

Same @bekylou4jc - it doesn't help that I have a husband that acts similarly. I'm working through all of it in therapy so I could relate to so much of this entire podcast, having grown up in an alcoholic family and having dealt with an eating disorder most of my life. Hugs to you, fellow struggler 😉

@@barbrasmerz3846 hopefully you can break free from that situation if it doesn’t make you happy, and help you grow. You only have one life. Don’t waste it being in a miserable marriage. Ditched mine 5 years ago and have had an amazing time ever since

You know my child hood was exactly the same. I just realized I sometimes do the same thing to my son. I don’t mean to I’m just stressed out and overwhelmed. Also it’s all I know I don’t want him to feel that way.

⁠YES. Would have to rehearse in my head how I was going to say it. “Maybe you’ll get it for Christmas”.

Wrong. Whitney went off on another tangent everytime it wasn't about her

Except that every time she talks it is about her trauma or trauma responses.

@@emmacallil3580 That's fine with me!

i found that this applies to most mental illnesses not just trauma/ptsd. when you say “my life with depression” or just if you CLAIM it, when are you going to get better?? like jennette said, people try not to get help because they don’t feel they need to. mental illness is a very real issue, but it’s not *good.* that’s why we need to get help, because it works towards self destructive behavior. i hope that moving forward in mental health awareness, we stop viewing mental illness as something to be proud of, or affirming the feelings while you’re ill. that’s one way them illnesses stick around

Exactly. It’s infuriating.

oh my god I'm so sorry

Yes. Soo frustrating people were afraid to overstep.

This. I think this is why I'm so much more angry with my father than with my stepmother, who tormented and tortured me every day of my childhood. My dad abused me too, but not to the extent she did, and almost could be considered on the high end of the corporal punishment scale. A lot of the time, he only beat me because stepmom told him to. I think I'm angry with him because he didn't advocate for me, he didn't stop her or tell her no. I was his first child, his little girl, and he never protected me. I knew who stepmom was. She was evil. But this was my daddy, and him allowing this to happen was so much worse than anything she ever did.

This is wild! I went through this exactly thing. I saw a family Christmas video from when I was 12, and it was so obvious to me, watching that everyone saw or was aware and did nothing. Poor young me didn't deserve that and neither did you.

Totally agree!!! I feel like it takes the pressure off me so I can actually become more comfortable and open. I am able to better articulate my thoughts because I am focused on our conversation instead of the stress and pressure to carry the conversation.

My son has anxiety and has said the same thing. It’s such a relief for him when someone else Carrie’s the conversation.

Disclaimer: dont actually jump off a bridge* 😉😉 wink wink

blu cc

Therapy for the weak minded.🤣

Ok Karen

Couldn't agree more (not you Haterade)

@@aaronwesley286 lol ok Karen

Then why the pre apology before the actual podcast? She even caught herself then proceeded to double down.

Completely agree. I don't need it to be an interview; I LIKE that it's a natural conversation instead. And Jeanette said several times she enjoyed it.

I’m so glad someone commented this! I struggle with hypervigilance so much and recently in therapy began deconstructing how it can cause anxious-preoccupied attachment as an adult in friendships and romantic relationships, even in our workplaces or when working with people in positions of power. And I hope in the last few weeks you’re having good therapy chats!

spell her name right its literally in the title

She talked too much.

I don't think anyone watches because she's the internets master interviewer

AGREED

She uses ‘I’ quite a bit , classic Whitney 🤣

@@matthewbernier9587 She also uses validating and reaffirming language to whom she’s talking. She connects to people through her own experiences but doesn’t take away theirs. She has proven herself to be extremely compassionate in many conversations and you can tell Jeanette feels heard in this podcast. Again, “podcast”. Free podcast created by an individual who has guests. Other than that there are no rules.

Filling in a lot of blanks with your opinion to justify a piss interview

I was thinking the same thing!! Probably like a year ago I binged jennettes videos on her KZfaq channel too she’s such an engaged listener I think it makes for really good interviews I hope she does a lot more

I watched the Red Table Talk with Jeanette and she was asking the hosts very thoughtful questions and seemed legitimately interested in their answers. She would make a great group therapist.

I love this idea

That being said, to watch a really nice in depth interview with jennette the red table talk and „q on cbc“ was amazing and you actually get to see HER as a person. I disagree with Whitney that all press so far has been „superficial“ there are some great interviews out there that dig a lot deeper than this one

with c ptsd, sometimes i think my therapist does not like me and not gonna wanna work with me

I've not listened before either. I'm here for Jennette. This convo is real and I have a lot of respect for her and Whitney.

I must be insane , lol. She is only good with male comics. Anyone else she just destroys.

It's not being a genius. It's called going to therapy. She is spouting the same thing anyone will learn in therapy.

Wishing you the best with your journey

Amen

@@islascout8651 Nah. It's not just her wisdom in psychological concepts; it's the way she formulates her sentences and captures her thoughts so pinpoint effortlessly. She's a bit of a wordsmith without realizing it.

She had one! I don't know if it's on break or permanently ended but it's called Empty Inside!

LOL

I know right. Lol

yep

I know! She kept interrupting her..

The Red Table Talk was pretty great check it out

i got disordered eating

Yesssss, was just coming to say the same!

She apologised for it, chill 😂

Yes! It's OK to have an episode for those of us who are already familiar with the guest and have read her book! Jennette absolutely asked Whitney lots of great questions.

Yes, she enjoyed it. Yes, she asked questions. YES, Whitney still talked too much and made the interview about herself. Bad interview.

@@islascout8651 lol if the people involved liked it but you still claim it's bad, you're putting too much importance on your own opinion

@@snoozyq9576 💯 BOOM! *mic drop* 🙌🏻

@@islascout8651 Bad interview IN YOUR OPINION, you mean. That last part's important.

I completely agree and I get the same way. I feel so incredibly embarrassed after I flip out and just want to run away and go live in a hole somewhere, away from the world so I won't be a problem for anyone, anymore. I've been trying to focus on staying kind and calm and finding other ways to cope with my chaotic emotions. The best I've found so far is to have the people I care about just give me a minute to be alone to try to calm myself down so that I don't say or do anything hurtful to them that I don't mean and it gives me space to try to make some sense of my feelings and a lot of times, it stops it from escalating so maybe it could help for you too? I am a 36 yr old physically disabled, mentally ill female and I'm happy to report that I am the mother to an amazing, creative, sensitive, caring and kind 13 year old human and in just 5 short months, the love of my life and I will be celebrating 20 years together!! I am in a very happy marriage with the love of my life and best friend.. He is understanding and supportive and all I could ask for in a partner! I'm not saying its perfect but I am saying that it's definitely possible to have a very stable, secure, long-term, loving relationship and happy family with bpd but its not easy and I fail at it every single day in AT LEAST one way or another but I never stop trying to get better for myself, my daughter and my husband. Find a partner who knows all of your crazy and loves you for it and through it anyway. Find a partner who is down for the ride, because it is going to be a wild one, but it'll be worth it! Don't ever lower your self-worth because you think your mental issues make you a lot to deal with or less desirable. If they can't handle you, they just aren't right for you but thats ok, keep looking because there is someone out there who will love you the way you deserve and who will make you feel calm and at peace and it'll be amazing. Just never ever stop trying to be better than you were yesterday. That's why I think you're going to do just fine! Just the fact that you're diagnosed with bpd, getting help and are aware of how your mental health affects you and those around you and the fact that you are bothered by that, shows that you care and I don't know your parents but I'm pretty confident in saying that you're already doing 💯 more than they did, just in preparation and care for a kid, alone. I wish you all the happiness this crazy world has to offer! The best thing you can do for everyone is TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF so they don't have to take care of you and so that you can help and care for other people. You can't give if you have nothing left to give. Be kind to yourself, you're simply human 💛

Aw that's horrible for you I'm sorry. My friend has bpd so I know how intense those feelings are for you guys.

Borderline as well, thank you for saying this

Jennette's mom never tried to get help. Not for herself, not for her family. "will I pass on puzzles or traumas to my kids?" puzzles are like "ohhhh.. I became a nurse because it felt so wonderful to help mom out when she had migraines (or "migraines")! "or like "oooo... I find men mysterious and fascinating and always out of reach because my dad worked so much we never got to see him". We all pass puzzles onto our kids. If you do the work you'll give them only puzzles, not also deep traumas

There were things in this conversation that nailed the roots of my coping mechanisms so hard…I had to press pause and regroup. Can’t articulate how grateful I am hearing the words out loud.

that’s horrible. change therapists!

She did.

Same, I normally don't like Whitney's podcast because she seemed so Adderall insane before, but this particular episode offered me tons of valuable advice

omg, gonna now be my next audiobook. thanks for the reminder.

That book is hardcore.

@@krikeydial3430 I had to stop listening to it at work because I didn't want anyone to ask why I was crying and laughing every few minutes

Same. I think hearing Jeanette read the book in her own voice really adds to the story. It was really emotional and touching and heartbreaking. All the things. 👏🏼

Uncensored, unafraid of career consequences, and honest... that would be 😚👌

Have Jeannette on iCarly again

@@simplenoughwith all respect and my love for her as Sam Puckett, let’s not. Some things are the past for a reason.

aww thank you

Same here😢
