"I Couldn't be Silent!" Wil Wheaton on Child Stardom, How to Overcome Trauma & Proof We're Not Alone in the Universe

Wil Wheaton (The Big Bang Theory, Star Trek, Stand By Me bestselling author, award-winning audiobook narrator, host of It's Storytime with Wil Wheaton) is back with Mayim & Jonathan in the MBB studio. He opens up like never before about his deeply personal story as a trauma survivor and how it caused depression and anxiety. From his journey grappling with the scars of being raised by emotionally immature and narcissistic parents to surviving abuse on a movie set, he shares the emotional tools and therapies that have helped him heal, including EMDR and IFS therapy. He dives into the mind-bending connections between quantum physics, nonlinear time, and reparenting your inner child, while exploring fascinating topics like extraterrestrial life, simulation theory, and telepathy. Get ready for an eye-opening conversation on how trauma has shaped every aspect of Wil's mental health, his thoughts on the dangers of spiritual charlatans, and his cautious approach to psychedelics. Don't miss this thought-provoking as we connect the dots between science, spirituality, and the unknown!
