Jackson Galaxy: Emotional Guardrails, Language of Empathy & The Social Anxiety Corner

Jackson Galaxy (Host & Executive Producer of My Cat from Hell, animal advocate, cat behavior expert, author, musician) opens up about his struggles with social anxiety, substance abuse, and disordered eating. After an illuminating installment of "What Mayim Hears", Jackson discusses growing up wanting to be a rock star and how playing guitar and busking at an early age helped him combat anxiety. He details his use of food as a comfort tool and alcohol as a social lubricant before he discovered the benefits provided by the structure of rituals. Mayim and Jackson break down how misdiagnoses and ineffective prescriptions can lengthen one’s mental health journey, the biological instincts tied to social anxiety, and navigating society as an empath. They bond over their shared love for the energetic minefield that is New York City, disordered eating as a public person, desires to be terminally unique involutes, and of course, their love of cats.

    I love how Jackson transforms when he talks about cats and I'm so happy he found that in his life, I'm about to adopt a cat so I've been binge watching him, he's awesome 😎

    I did the “I don’t want to go to school” routine every morning as a child. People were just mean at school. I wanted no part of it! Music, animals(specifically ferrets now) and gardening are my favorite hobbies. People often call me a “jack of all trades” because I love to learn about anything and everything. Looking back at school, I know I was different. Now that I’m older, being different is one of the best attributes to have!! 😊

    My cats are the cleanest animal ever and my cats are allowed everywhere and I don’t. Hate it at all. Cats are very clean

    Hilarious. I love it. I'll ask my husband, "Where should we go for dinner?" He'll say, "I don't know, where do you want to go?" I hear: "You have to make all the decisions because I'm not that interested in what we do as a couple."

    So glad you spoke with Jackson Galaxy (which is why this episode appeared in my feed, I presume, as I didn’t know this channel existed! I have learned so much about cats from Jackson. His story is remarkable, and I love how he’s developed this passion for cats and the people who love them.

    I don't think I've ever seen Jackson so low key and serious. I like it. 😌

    I’ve found my “people!” You all have perfectly described my experience as a human. Some of us are loner, super-sensory, beings. My daughter and I have declared our own internal processing human holiday (includes cats, staying home, and old movies.)

    It took me years and therapy to understand that the depth to which I feel emotions hugely contributed to my massive weight (around 450 pounds at my heaviest). Food was what I used to control emotion. Angry? Eat. Sad? Eat. Happy? Eat. Feeling out of control? Eat.
