- My conversation with Eileen Davidson was very emotional. We talked about everything, Housewives of Beverly Hills, Soap Operas, mental health, relationships, bipolar, etc. She was an open book and I absolutely loved having her on.

I just wanted to say, I just found your page and wanted to reach out to say a huge thank you for sharing your story...I feel thing's very deeply and I have crohns disease, and have been depressed off and on (came back with the covid breakout)as also panic attacks...
This is so real and I feel embarrassed sometimes...you help so many...including me so I don't feel alone...I don't know if you will see this, but you have my deepest respect...Bless You! Thanks for having this wonderful woman on...I have watched 'Ashley' since her first day on Y&R...I will now be watching this page from now on and checking out your soap...
Sending healing hugs 🤗 and 🙏 Have a beautiful Monday!
Yes, she was! I ❤️her!
I'm a big fan of Eileen and watched her when she was on Housewives. She was way too smart to be on that show and I give her credit for lasting as long as she did. I also experienced a lot of loss and her candor was very consoling and relatable. I'm glad she back at Y&R. She adds a special degree of talent but more importantly, compassion to the show. Great interview, Maurice and thank you.
thank you
Eileen Davidson is beautiful, talented and she is already a legend. Thank you, Maurice, for scheduling this interview! 👏
❤
ageless
Love Eileen. You never know what someone else is going through. Jusy because they carry it well doesn't mean its not heavy.
That's so true 👍
When people complain about aging, they should watch this. This conversation could never be had by younger people. It takes decades of living a life to understand that life. Never complain about aging, It is a gift that too many never get. 🙏
thanks 😊
💯 🧡
Growing older is a privilege denied to too many.
Love what you do. You have helped me begin to pull myself up out of my worst depression in my 64 years of life. I don't know if you realize what a gift you are. Thank you. God bless you!
Loved this epi.I would love to see you interview Bianca Taylor next
Thank you that’s why I do what I do and I will keep doing it
💜 🧡
This is such an incredible, credible conversation between two adults honestly dealing with their stuff. I relate to Eileen so much - youngest in a big family, Catholic, shame played a huge role. I remember Eileen being on RHOBH and Vanderpump kind of cornered her and asked her these really pointed, inappropriate, uncomfortable questions about how she met her current husband who seems to be the love of her life. And Vanderpump was trying to make her uncomfortable and the circumstances seem tawdry. And after that conversation, Eileen kept trying to "clear up" that convo and Vanderpump was rolling her eyes at Eileen like are we still talking about this? And when Maurice made that connection of shame = caring what people think and the more you can eliminate that, the healthier you get. Eileen, I think kept trying to "correct" the original conversation because she had shame about how Lisa made her feel. I get it. Oh, man, do I get it. This is amazing.
Thank you both for making it okay to be human. Eileen’s Ashley has been a part of my life since she joined Y&R. I relate to her spiritual journey in a big way. At 62, I’m an energy healer who believes in mediumship. Thanks for sharing your stories.✌️❣️🌟
You both hit the nail in the head with the shame surrounding bipolar, anxiety and depression! It’s sad that it’s such a real thing! My dad was as diagnosed with manic depression when I was 10. This was in 1985 and although I didn’t understand it at the time, I remember him feeling so much shame. It was because of my memories of him living with manic depression that I didn’t tell anyone for years into adulthood that I had depression and anxiety because of the shame he felt that I later also felt. I eventually was able to seek treatment. And in 2021 just a few months before he died, I finally got as able to talk to my dad about what he went through with his manic depression and he helped me understand more about my what I was going through. More people need to know that it’s ok to not be ok and that there is no shame in needing and seeking help!
Absolutely
Maurice: Thank you for this gift! 🙏 I happen to love Eileen Davidson's work - one of my all-time favorite actresses - but her openness and insights just blew me away!! ♥♥♥ All the best.
thanks ❤
I was talking with a friend about my dysfunctional family - it's hard for some people to hear who have had perfect families. I have great sympathy and respect for my mom and dad too - they did the best they could with what they were dealing with. Some people blame their parents for everything in their life - I thank mine because I learned what not to do when I became an adult.
thank you 😊
Absolutely love her, One of the best soap actresses
Maurice, I am watching this from the other side of the world, where it is already Monday. I stopped watching Daytime Dramas 2 decades ago, as I outgrew it. However, I have always had huge respect for the talent of those who work in it. Eileen, has always been one of my favorites …. yet, she is so much more interesting and lovely as a human being than any character she could play. It is always enriching to get to know your guests as people, their stories, challenges and how they overcame what life throws at them. Here is a woman whose life has been completely different from my own, and yet so many experiences in common! This was a great conversation, thank you!
thank you 😊
Thank you for this interview. I have been a fan of Eileen since watching Young and the Restless as a child in the early 80's.
❤❤❤❤
Wow! This was an extraordinary conversation. Everyone should watch it. It's taken me over 10 years to accept I have PTSD. Not sharing more details, but this was really amazing to hear this conversation.
I so feel for her.. My dad was a big problem in our family, but we loved him. this woman knows my life. thank you Eileen.
This was amazing, as a Black Man in America it's hard to open up about anxiety and mental health, thank you MB, you continue to inspire and entertain, you entertained me while severing our country back in the 90's and you inspire me today!
Thank you for your service
I’ve been watching Eileen on “Days of Our Lives” since the 90s and she is just a phenomenal actress and a wonderful human being. Thank you so much for this powerful and inspiring interview! ❤️
Thank you so much Maurice for having Eileen Davidson on State of Mind. Both of you are incredible actors and I enjoyed it so much!
thank you
Wow! that interview was amazing! Eileen, I have always known Ashley Abbott but to get to know the real Eileen Davidson, was truly heart warming. It's one thing to see someone's image but to hear of the life they led, brings comfort to the one's who have felt alone in their own nightmares. Thank you Maurice and Eileen for sharing and God bless you both.
thank you
Thank you again for speaking out about Mental Illness. I'm so glad that you have so much insight into your illness. My brother had schizophrenia. 50% of people with this illness also lack insight, and do not realize they are sick so do not seek treatment. If you can ever talk about that, and what we can do to help them get the treatment they need, I would be grateful.
Man! I had no idea, my girl, Eileen had been through so much! I thank this versatile, super-talented actress and strong woman for opening up and sharing. That adage, you never what a person is going through, REALLY applies to her! I mean, there never was 1% of her struggles/family issues on-screen! And that's PROFESSIONALISM!!!
I saw your initial Instagram story, and honestly I was dealing with my own Pandemic Panic at the time and almost looked away...but something about you being so honest and raw kept me watching! It helped me tremendously, Maurice, to know you "Sonny" felt the exact same way I did! You kept me going because of this, THANK YOU!!!
WOW 🥲
I'm so happy and proud of you that you have 107,000 fans/viewers what an accomplishment
Really enjoyed learning about Eileen’s story. I’ve been watching her on Y&R for years. Always wondering how she manages to stay so young and grow more beautiful as the years go by. She is a favorite. Great episode!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
State of mind makes me so thankful for another Sunday. What would we do without it? I know it helps me, and so many others that are battling anxiety, depression, bi polar, ect. It’s also encouraging to know that it’s alright to get emotional, and cry. Then have fun talking to each other at the same time. Kudos to you and Eileen for all that you guys have been through, and come out on top. Thanks
again for making my day, Maurice. Have a blessed week ❤️
thank you
I am so impressed by this show. It is about time that programs like this on RUclips. I commend you greatly, Benard and continue this show so that we can heal one another! With great compassion for your cause, Star Trek Suzi
Maurice, thank you for interviewing Eileen Davidson. It was one of the most fascinating interviews and interactions between you to it was genuine. Thank you. ❤
thank you
Absolutely, the greatest by far State of Mind with Eileen. Both of you Maurice, lost track of time and went into dept, opening up. It really hit home. I cried through it all.
thank you 😊
I'm going to stop saying my favorite one because they are all so good. You two were so real and raw on this episode you had me in tears. Maurice and Eileen, what a beautiful interview. You guys overcame all the odds and are even stronger because of it. Thank you so much for SOM! 👏
thank you
@@MBStateOfMind l love the way you interview people, it's just like you're sitting down with a good friend eating dinner, I have always been a fan of yours on GH, ( Sonny) You're such a good actor👍 and I've always been a fan of Eileen Davison ( Ashley ) she seems so real , Thank you for being who you are, Maurice Benard👍
To use one of your words Maurice, phenomenal, this was an absolutely phenomenal State of Mind. I love Eileen on Y&R and watch her every day🌷
thank you
I was transparent about my PTSD and clinical depression. My family now treats me like I’m useless. Some of my friends are gone. But you know what, this is how I see it. People culled themselves so I didn’t have to. Now I’ve learned to let people think what they want. I know my truth. I’m stronger than I ever was. No more shame.
I'm a big fan of Eileen Davidson, she is such a fantastic, talented actress, I loved how she started by asking you questions, I never get tired of you sharing your journey, you give us so much. Just a great episode, peace and love to both of you.
thanks ❤
Such a great interview. I am a couple of years older than her and when she started talking about the time she grew up in and how her Father never got help for his mental health, it mirrored my own life with my Dad. I believe he was also a non- diagnosed manic depressive. But men during that era just didn't get help. That's why these discussions are so vitally important today. Maybe we won't have men going through so much emotional pain and they will understand that there is no shame in reaching out for help. And what she said about shame was so spot on. All true. We all have it. And once you learn the tools to release it, the liberation and freedom you find is amazing. It's literally life changing! ✨💌🕉️
thank you
Watched it 3 times and I’ll be watching again and saved this interview 🥰 beautifully stellar interview
In 2010 my aunt passed away leading me and my family to move to florida. 2011 I lost my closest friend to a heroine overdose at 17. 2013 my church friend died in a motorcycle accident. Sept 1 2013 my best friend took his own life. A month later my aunt passed from stage 4 cancer. Teaching us yachikoham( i love you in polish) 2017 my favorite band singer passed two months before my grandpa passed two days after I flew from Florida to see him from dementia. I got married in 2020 but a few months or a year later my father in law has the worst stage 4 cancer. His last words through the phone was I love you and Luis (my family friend) and since then I have struggled more and more but hearing this interview helped enlightened some spirits back. Thank you so much
Just an amazing discussions between Eileen and Maurice....👍🏾♥️
What a fantastic conversation. Nothing better than seeing spiritual beings overcoming the darkness and challenges of the human experience. Maurice & Co. please keep the light of love shining in the dark places. Respect to you and your guest.
What a beautiful and touching interview. I was crying and I could relate to loosing so many people in such a short span of time. I have gone through this in the last 3 years. God bless you both for sharing these type of stories. On a personal level, Eileen is such an inspiration. I loved how she was so communicative and interacted with you Marurice. SO amazing. 💞💞🙏🙏 Thank You both for these topics.
thank you
Beautiful raw interview. Great interview as always Maurice. Thank you Eileen for sharing your story.❤️❤️❤️
❤❤❤❤
Great interview. Appreciated how open she was. Soaps may get made fun of but they have been a huge part of many of our childhood nostalgia & always seem like a good foundation/fertile ground for actors starting out to develop their skills. Only 3 soaps left on the air now. So many are gone but will live on in our memories.
thanks 😊
This show was one of your best. Keep up your great work, this show is helping so many people.
It is such a joy to find that the most powerful and talented actors are also exceptionally fine people. That is Eileen for sure!! Beautiful, powerful conversation. Thank you both!!❤💜💕
thanks ❤
@@MBStateOfMind With huge respect and gratitude for this show!❤️
Maurice this was a great one. So emotional brought tears to my eyes. I loved seeing Eileen, her story was amazing, she is so strong and resilient. Loved this so much. ♥️
I really never heard or seen her act before. I loved how she just really jumped into the interview. God bless her and her family. Maurice I thank you for what you do to help people. Thanks and God bless
This is the first time I have watched and I loved every second of it. I'm at the darkest moment of my life and I'm trying to soak up all the information and tips that I can. I have subscribed and I appreciate you sharing. Thank you🙂
Just wow! What an amazing episode!! It's the kind of one that will stick with you for awhile. Very touching. ❤💙🙏🙏
thank you
I really enjoyed listening to Eileen and could feel her pain and healing. Both of you are so open which I am sure is healing for you both. Thank you for bringing these feeling to the public. I'm sure it will help many people who have had such pain in their families. I watch Y&R and there are so many great actors. I am in awe of them. Thank you!
thank you ❤
Thank you Eileen and Maurice for sharing your stories with us. What a beautiful, heartfelt interview. Keep shining your light, you continue to inspire us all!
Thank-you to Eileen for sharing her personal family history and how it shaped her personality as an adult. I have been a fan of hers since the 80's growing up watching Y&R. I've always felt a connection watching her onscreen. I think living through a traumatic childhood is what help people become great actors cause they can "feel". Empathize with their character and convey it through the screen. When she told about the psychic relaying the message from her father I cried, omg. Thanks, Maurice. Keep doing these interviews they help people like us.
It’s very difficult as a child to grow up in an unstable house with very unstable parents. Too many of us grew up that way.
Yeah you are so right it's so hard
☮️
Who said her parents were unstable?
Very true
@@lisaanderson1102 She did state that
I've always loved her !! Can't wait for this episode !
Maurice good afternoon so looking forward to state of mind with Eileen Davidson.I love her on YR and days to and RHWOBH.👍❤️
Thank you both for being so open and honest. Eileen, long time fan, the life and depth you bring to each character has been a pleasure to watch, hopefully we'll get to enjoy your talent for many more years to come ❤
thank you
We need.a Part 2 with Eileen!
I really got this! Thanks Eileen…one of my favorites on Y&R! Her openness about her family and the lessons learned from her father’s struggles! Amazing, conversation!
I wish everyone could understand that they are the star in their show!
Congrats on getting the Silver button
I loved this! She's an awesome actress! Thanks for sharing the anxiety inhaler. Yes, they should sponsor you. ❤
Amen. Life is a teacher. When it's your last breath you will have earned a master's degree.
Totally agree with you
I wish Eileen would write a book. It would help many.
I stumbled upon this and I am there with y’all. So much I wish I could say. Kudos to the both of you for your work. 2019 was the worst year of my life. I’ve lived with anxiety and depression most of my life.
Listening to Eileen tell her stories got me in tears! Sometimes u don't look at the actors with problems outside of the actors they play on the the shows! We forget for a moment that they have a life outside of there TV characters! Thanks again Mr. BARNARD FOR DOING STATE OF MIND! AND HAVING SO MANY INFORMATIVE GUESTS ON YOUR SHOW! CONTINUE WHAT YOU ARE DOING ! WE LOVE YOU AND STATE OF MIND ! GOD BLESS YOU ❤️🙏

Eileen is the best. Honest and always funny. My first episode of State of Mind. Great job Maurice.
Have seen only 1-2 of these State of Mind...this was amazing, absolutely the best! Thanks for sharing all of this personal feeling..its so reassuring to realize others have problems but have made it through. I really appreciate their stories and advice.
Thank you Eileen for your testimony! Maurice, this is one of the best shows on RUclips.
thanks
This episode was so good !! Both authentic actors !!! Thank you for always being transparent. U help so many people more than u know. ❤
Possibly the best episode of this series. It was an amazing joint effort between 2 people who really get it
Thank you Maurice for having Eileen on ! She's one of my favorite actors I love her ON Y@R! SHE'S SO BEAUTIFUL.
What a lovely lady. I think this may have been my favorite interview. Ms. Davidson is so in tune to her feelings and is very insightful. I could listen to the two of you talk for hours. Thank you for the fabulous interview.
Words cannot express how thankful I am for this enlightening conversation. Eileen, you are such a beautiful soul. Thank you so much for sharing so much of yourself with all of us. By having these types of talks helps out so many. We need to keep ending the stigma that surrounds mental illness. Their is no shame in it. I grew up with a parent with bipolar and I related to much of what you said. I'm so happy I stumbled on to Maurice's channel. You are helping out so many people. It's a beautiful thing!!
Thank you so much
My favorite interview so far. It made me love Eileen so much. I had similar things happen to me as a child but not as severe. She helped me understand it better.
I have so much respect for everyone in soap opera genre, You bring us so much!
Love your candid perspective. Eileen is killing it on Y and R...she really has come into her own...
Eileen is a legend! Love her Ashley Abbott! Thanks for having her on. I can't believe the amount of loss that she's had to deal with.
Really enjoyed this interview! Found it so interesting, inspiring and comforting. Eileen is so lovely. Thanks Maurice for this wonderful interview!
👏👏👏 Excellent heartfelt show with so much of Eileen & You sharing & enriching our minds. Hope there is a Part II. ❤️
Beautiful interview.
Thank you for your program! Been watching GH for 30 years! Great show!!Maine Strong!
Another awesome interview!!!
Spent most of it tearing up.
Jeeeeze.
But I wanted to say 1 thing. Please stop apologizing for "repeating" stories of yourself. I find it so helpful. You call that shit out and when you do it says, oh shit and it gets its ass back in the back where it belongs so it cant hurt you anymore.
Thank you for always being so honest. 💓
She never stops being beautiful both inside&out,him to, amazing actors
My favorite so far. You are so awesome, Thank you.
This one really got me. When she said I have a better relationship with my dad now then I did while he was alive!!!😮😮😮😮
Maurice and Eileen, this discussion was insightful and revealing. These shows make me feel supported and hopeful. Thank you for this and what you put on Instagram as well.
What a great interview! She looks fantastic for 63!! And such an interesting childhood
This was one of the best interviews! Thank you and Eileen for such a wonderful interaction. Also, I read about the Calm I Go tool and I am so happy to hear it works so well.
Very very powerful talk from Eileen I was glued to the screen ❤
Thank you Eileen for letting us know you outside of Y@R we have learned alot about you! We all love you! God bless you always ❤️ 🙏
