- Опубликовано: 4 сен 2021
- This week’s episode I'm joined by Josh Swickard. You may know Josh best for his role as Harrison Chase on General Hospital.
Josh shares with me his experience with anxiety and tips that he's learned that have helped him in those moments. I also loved learning about his Grandfather, who seems like a very wise man. Then before we end it, Josh tells me about his family and what being a Father means to him.
If you haven't seen A California Christmas, you can find it streaming on Netflix.

When Josh Smiles I have no idea what he is saying. Damnit He is So Fine!
I could not stop looking at his gorgeous thick hair!
He's not only cute, he's one of the few young male sactors.20's/30's who can actually act .
I love Josh! What an incredible young man. Blessings and love to him and his beautiful family.
Josh is an incredible human....interesting to listen to...you can tell he has a good heart and soul....
Awesome conversation, it’s so wonderful to know that Josh is a man of faith. Thank you for sharing part of your life. Thank you Maurice for continuing to do state of Mind 😊
Thx Josh for letting get yo know a little part of you 👏🏽👏🏽❤️ and of course always Maurice creating a great space for his guest to share…love u Maurice ❤️❤️❤️
What a wonderful tribute Josh gave his grandpa Love how open he is about his faith Great conversation Maurice as usual you always bring your best
I LOVE Josh's story of his relationship with the Lord! How awesome to have a grandpa who will guide him! I'm a believer in Jesus too! And Josh is right, the relationship is what it's all about.
I love him! I knew that there was something clean and special about him. He's a believer. He's blessed and a blessing to everyone that he comes across.
This was the best eye-opening positive state of mind with Josh Swickard. We want Maurice to have Josh’s grand father on the show. Don’t we all want this positivity mindset. Cutest Netflix Christmas movie I’ve seen.
Excellent interview. Full of hope.
Maurice I love "State of Mind" and I love, love, love GH. I rush home on my work break so I don't miss GH cuz I like watching it in real time and if I'm unable to I'll watch it from another platform! State of Mind, I feel de-stigmatizes mental illness for myself (and I can only speak for myself) and I hope for others. I love how you are able to talk freely about it and share the path you took for your healing journey. It is possible to make healthy choices and experience joy in life! I suffered for the longest time with depression and anxiety, was on medication for 14 years, and I now have 24 years clean and sober. I've learned so much and my life has been transformed. Awareness of myself and how I'm feeling in the moment is key in my healing journey and I've heard you express similar sentiments. Thank you for being there for so many and blessings to you for your many talents.
It is cool to be Josh. I think this was your best interview yet.
It's nice to know that Josh is both handsome and a down-to-earth young man! He's such an asset to GH. Thanks for the talk, Maurice. Please make grandpa’s State of Mind happen.
Love this session. Josh….with God, all is possible. I love that u publicly announce your faith, despite your career. Inspirational ☺️. God continue to Bless u & ur family…. Please have grandpa on State of Mind! Now I can’t wait to see that video 🙏
This is a really great talk, guys. Loving every minute.❤️
Maurice once again you brought on someone who wows me! Josh’s grandad with his zest for life and all his accomplishments and still stays positive even after his loss is inspiring.
Josh you emulate him in the best way. Best to you, your wife and baby.
Zig: Amen.
Josh is great along with being open and honest. Thanks Maurice for bringing him to your show.
It’s a great show you guys have keep up the good work and congratulations to Joshua and Lauren on your new baby🙏❤️
Another beautiful Stateof Mind..Thank you Josh for your beautiful faith im God. GOD bless you Josh and Maurice
Maurice, as you continue to do State of Mind everything blooms and grows. It gets getter!! This was one of the best interviews. Josh you have been blessed by the hand of God, you see it and you know it! You have no problem sharing that blessing by showing people what you do to get and try to stay healthy. Thank you for being so open and honest Josh. Maurice I pray you don’t stop State of Mind. You have helped me so much. I hope you feel my gratitude for all you have done….. amazing job gentlemen!!
This might be one of my favorites so far, the transparency about both your and Josh's anxiety, childhood and becoming a father is so relatable! Even as a mother I could feel the love growing in Josh's voice as he described his grandfather,daughter and wife. Truly touching!! Then to top it off anxiety reduction tips!! Wheww I know I say it everytime but truly thank you Maurice for doing these, they truly do make me feel less alone.
Another awesome interview - I am hooked on your show! I have learned so much from today's interview and I think you have a real hit with State of Mind - Keep the interviews coming - I would like to see Steve Burton on as well as Sonya Eddy. Your show rocks!
Hi Sonny from New Jersey. Been watching you since 1973. You are one of my favorites on GH.
What a beautiful session today! As a fellow PK (preacher’s kid) & having gone to seminary as an adult, your genuineness towards your relationship with Christ, and your grandfather, filled me heart with happiness. God Bless you and yours…
Thank you for these weekly sessions Maurice…
Truly a wonderful interview. I read the KJV of the Bible everyday. Enjoyed this interview so much. Would love to see Josh's grandfather and hear his testimony. Great interview 🙏
what a wonderful young man....how lucky to have such a wonderful grandfather...can't wait to see him on this show!
Josh's Grandfather: "This is the day that the Lord hath made and I will rejoice and be glad in it."
So glad you have a wonderful family Josh!!
What a beautiful man Josh is. We need more young men like him in this world. Love Maurice as well. So honest and open. I know it’s difficult at times but please keep going. You’re doing great work for people like us. Bless you 💕
I loved this podcast especially when Josh was talking about him and his grandfather and his faith.
Maurice , You are so right I didn't have anxiety and panic attacks until my husband passed away and I had to bring up a 16 yr old son and deal with money issues ! You get it !
Wow yes a State of Mind with Grandpa. Wonderful testimony about your Gramps Joshua.
Great actor. Really enjoy these👍👍👍🥰🥰🥰🥰
Wonderful conversation...enjoyed listening to both you and Josh. Josh sharing about his faith in God and his grandfather's outlook on life is INSPIRATIONAL and reminds me so much of my father, mother and my great aunt who both had strong faith in God and such a positive outlook on life. I am one that believes having a relationship with God is so important and incorporating words of affirmation daily helps to set the tone of your day. You are doing a wonderful thing Maurice Bernard with having various guests and talking about mental health. I ❤ it!!! Please have Tabitha Brown as a guest on one of your segments. Her story is so inspirational.
Josh is a great inspiration to all.
Josh sound like he has an amazing life. His grandfather sounds like a very beautiful person. Thanks Maurice for State of Mind. 💙💙 God bless💙💙
He seems like such a nice guy .Love him on GH !
Thank you Maurice for this awesome conversation with Josh. I love him even more since hearing what he had to say.
God BLESS you 🙏 ❤ 🙌 Josh!!! I understand what you were going into about the Lord. I have a book I've started (need to take more time writing!) And I've been great with God since 2014 when severely ill with Epilepsy. Thank you for including your experiences AND GRANDPA'S, with this conversation ❤ 😊!!! Y'all take care!! ❤
Thank you Maurice for State Of Mind.It's very helpful and help me alot.I been watching GH most of my life.I suffer from panic attacks and depressions For always.I heard panic comes on when things are out of control,and you can't control what going on around you.I Love you as both yourself(Maurice) and Sonny. You are the best...
Thank you Maurice. May GOD BLESS.
I loved the spiritual side of Josh and how you both acknowledge blessings as a gift from God. I saw one instagram chat with Grandpa and wow what a way of looking and living life. It was a great discussion today about recognizing your triggers, doing the work to learn how to work through them and eventually having a box of tools to help prevent them. I love how Josh found apps to rework his mind set along with a daily dose of Grandpa. Thanks Maurice for keeping it so real.
Wonderful interview!!! Never apologize for your spiritual beliefs!!!
I love you maurice. So glad to see you on this show. Showing your real personality and your family
Love watching Josh on Gh.
Thanks for your honesty.
Have a good day. Thanks Maurice Jennifer 😂
So glad to hear your story Josh. Enjoy your work on GH and your talk right now with Maurice💕🙏🏼✝️
Maurice Benard I have been wanting to say this for some time now! I love how you do the interview with all of the TV from Soap Opera to the TV shows! You do an excellent talking to the guests from General Hospital to other TV shows! I love The State of Mind! Fantastic job Maurice Benard!
Its cool to hear how different yet similar anxiety can be for each person. I do the pins and needles too but its my arms face hands and legs. I do that with regular fear too so I never really connected it to my anxiety specifically. Its my most painful physical symptom but also have chest and stomach pain. Really enjoyed this interview and Josh is so likeable (and handsome but I'm probably too old to be commenting there, lol. Makes me feel like a cougar)
If you can please have the group Home Free on this. I would love to watch the episode with Josh grandpa whenever you get a chance
My husband took his life 11 years ago and I have dealt with that grief but people like you are so uplifting to be able to discuss these things that so many people don't want to so thank you!!!!!!!!
Awareness with regard to stressors is vital to understanding what is happening in your mind and body when/or if you are having a panic attack, anxiety or any other mental health issue. Like Josh said, it can just happen out of seemingly nowhere and in that moment you won't even realize what IT is...which can be so scary. You both are fortunate that you are actors because it gives you a way to use what you experience to give your performances nuances that otherwise might never be there...using your experiences (whatever they are) to bring forth good works (whatever they are) is everything. Sending you both thanks for a great interview! 💌💌
Great State of Mind Sunday! Maurice, please never stop! Josh, I Love being from Illinois but wish I could move. 😆
One of my favorite State of Mind episodes so far! Sometimes it's triggering hearing these conversations about mental health because I always sympathized with people who struggled with anxiety and depression but never quite understood the ins and outs. Then after the pandemic hit, I was hit incredibly hard with both. Just like you Josh, I thought I was dying when I had my first panic attack. It was incredibly scary and humbling. I had no choice but to slow down and confront my mental health. Maurice, I admire you so freakin much. You are a soldier. And as much as I liked the character of Sonny (been a fan since I was 11, now I'm 26), I LOVE him now simply because you were vulnerable enough to bring your personal story to this character in the most authentic way. Simply put, the struggle is real. As an actor myself, I only hope to someday portray a character as honest as you do. I'm also glad you've been able to take a break with the character, Mike. Keep up the great work! And remember to take care of yourselves
All guests who have been in on State of mind are interesting and so real. It helps to learn the struggles these actors deal with are experienced by others.
I read Maurice Benard's book. It was so inspiring and heartfelt. I couldn't put it down until I finished reading it. My son suffers with depression. Maurice's book helped me understand mental health so much better.
Maurice you are so in your element. This platform seems like it is a tailor made suit. It fits you beautifully. I say it every week and I am going to say it again this week. THANK YOU.
As a parent of a teenager that has suffered with anxiety and OCD, I am so thankful for this podcast. It is really helping me to better understand mental illness. Thank you SO much.
What a great way to look at life, it's so amazing that Josh has that great relationship with his grandfather and the fact that he can learn so much from him. He is not only learning so much from him, but the respect, the time and appreciating everything about his grandfather helps his grandfather as well. That goes a long way. He is leaving a legacy behind with Josh which he can then pass down and do the same with his children and grandchildren to come God willing. Its so beautiful.
I have to agree with Maurice a lot of my panic attacks were do to stress. I really enjoy listening and learning from state of mind and how to cope.
Maurice keep spreading the goodness around and Josh you are truly a blessed
Outstanding interview! Thank you!
So so good. What a great conversation! I can't wait for Josh's Grandpa to join Maurice. Love how openly Josh shared his faith and contributed so much of it to his Grandpa. Also how he and his Grandpa spent COVID with their time in the Bible.
Thank you Maurice for another great State of Mind.
OMG, I went to college of DuPage in Glen Ellyn in 1981-1982. We used to go to Springfield as a family, the land of Lincoln!! What a small world. I was born in Chicago but lived in Glen Ellyn. I love the story of your grandfather. My morning motto is: "This is the day the lord has made, and I am going to happy. I am going to go out and be productive and be a blessing to someone, in Jesus' name, amen." So many similarities!! Thank you for this interview. I am really enjoying your show, Maurice!! I have recently subscribed, and I am looking forward to seeing all of your new and old episodes.
This was a very beautiful, heartwarming interview. Love you both even more! Maurice never stop State of Mind and above all continue to act. You are one in a million, there is no one with your heart and soul❣️
Thank you Maurice and Josh. This was amazing. 👏
What a great and uplifting SOM! Josh is a wonderful guest! I loved hearing about his Grandpa! He sure would be a great guest on your show 👍 😀
I'm so grateful to hear all the anti-anxiety info from both of you. I have found that, like you both said, knowing yourself and your triggers is huge in the fight against this. Filling your mind with the positive instead of the negative is huge. Realizing when you are sabotaging yourself with negative thoughts is huge. There is so much truth and info to help us all. May we all find what works!
i have just started watching state of mind. I can actually say that you saved my life. Hearing conversations of people with the same issues I have makes me feel not alone. Maurice please don't stop. I am going back and watching all the old ones and am subscribed so I get to see the new ones every week. Oh PS I love GH and Sonny :)
Wow! Every time I watch State of Mind I learn so much. Love your interviews
As always one of your greatest state of mind episodes. I love how you and your guest are so open with each other. I watch every sunday. Thankyou Maurice for these shows and please never stop doing them. You touch so many people in there time of need. Sometimes when my anxiety acts up I rewatch some of your past episodes. It makes me feel less alone and so much better
Another great conversation! Josh, stay true to yourself. You are a awesome person. So true about stress. People just don't understand how much stress effects your mental & physical health. 💌🦋
So good to hear y'all talking openly about life and all the ups and downs!!!
Great interview! Continued success. I , we would all be blessed to have his grandfather on this show!
Another fabulous episode, makes you realize that we all struggle with things.
I am watching this and I'm going to have to pause it to watch General Hospital. I think I may have an addiction to GH problem. LOL I watch it at 7pm on Hulu.
I love these State of Mind videos!
I so enjoyed listening to Josh talk about his Grandpa. My Daddy lived to be 95. I wish I could have more conversations with him. And I love that Josh has already learned about the bubble of forgiveness and not worrying about tomorrow. I didn't learn that until in the past few years. I have managed to muddle through life and so far, I've gotten up and tackled every day for the past 61 years and that's a great track record! I just wish I'd learned that at Josh's age.
Ok, I'm off to watch GH!
Really enjoyed the dialogue. It gives me hope to see a young man, husband, now father, be so together, living and responsible.. It gives me hope He should run workshops for men only on being a man. He's got it down. There are too many angry, toxic, irresponsible men.around. it's not their fault. It's how they were raised and socialized. We need to do better. Men are hurting and don't have the tools to express themselves and navigate life's stressful moments, so they lash out I hope his videos with his grandpa are out there. Boys need to be mentored through early manhood. These videos should be widely distributed. Healing needs to begin for everyone! Thank you M.B. for giving Josh a platform to share his journey with us!🙏🏽
Late to the party listening to this, but Josh is pretty great. He seems so happy being a dad. It was a great discussion with you two, I really loved this one. Love the openness and honesty of the conversation that you both had.
Great conversation. Nice to know that I’m not alone in dealing with anxiety.
Josh is such a handsome guy, I can't stop looking at him 😂 he reminds me of actors back in the day like Clark Gable a lot of those actors. Josh also has a beautiful smile.
Enjoyed this video. Having the multitude of diagnoses, it helped hearing your stories, but what anxiety entails and remedies, context of it. I had my first anxiety attack on a plane. Mid air and felt I’d die if I didn’t get off that plane. By the grace of God there was a doctor on board. My brother was mad at me cause he had to move into the doctors seat 🤣 thank you
I love your spirit and bright light Josh!! Your honesty is truly inspiring. I love this episode! Thank you guys!!❤
Loved to hear Josh talk about his grandfather. So inspiring!
Maurice this was amazing you and josh really connected so well..
What Josh said about scriptures I agree with him. Every morning I'm watching church online. Reading my Bible morning and night. I feel more together, at peace. It does help and others should do it too. Well,it's up to them but I know that I need the lord in my life.
Loved listening to Josh, and learned a lot about him! He's so awesome
This show never disappoints and Josh is awesome 💙🙏🏻💙
One of the best 'State of Minds' yet, super insightful and such a great conversation(s) between you two.
Josh is a breath of fresh air! Maurice, would u have Joyce Guy on ur show? It would b great to hear her journey!
