I love how Mark's platform allows people to speak about their experiences and stories - to finally get some of that deep, heavy weight off their chest. I hope everyone is able to heal. Kudos. A real gem of a channel.
@spades5174 I agree with getting the heaviness off and finding a bit of stress relief in letting it out. This is where the healing process begins for so many people! I enjoy the comments and content on this awesome channel. SWU Family is broad and definitely world wide.

@@jacobus57 Hi Jackie, I appreciate your comment. I think there are more constructive ways to output what you're trying to communicate so that people wouldn't perceive it as aggression. My original comment was not mutually exclusive from what you were conveying. I am a new casual listener of SWU and listen while I work - so it's divided attention. And I'd assume the same for others. I did some digging and you're actually more than correct in regards to this channel - in fact the truth being very depraved. However, like all content creators they will just treat it as a job for personal gain. As for real artists/ intelligent people, arrogance, deceptiveness, and greed aren't mutually exclusive either. Researchers have found intelligent people actually tend to be arrogant in some respects. Character traits differ from talent, and what you're referring to is integrity (unfortunately rare). I've known some real egotistical fabulist artists who were beyond delusional - but produced great art and worked in high intelligence fields for a living. Thanks for shedding some light on this topic 👍
I am glad I found Mark and the all who come here to pick each other up not tear each other down. I'm learning to be non-judgemental or at least less. I will always try to remain respectful to anyone who bears their soul.
OMG---I LOVE HERRRRRR, I WANT TO SEE THAT FIRST ARTWORK !! and something from now! Her awareness and the way she was teaching as she spoke, she needs to give a class at college!
@@jacobus57 You have left a lot of hateful comments. If you actually took time to look into the good of someone you would have found tons of her artwork online like I did. I also found two articles written about her.
Just keep on moving forward and continue to learn to forgive others and yourself for everything! Find creative outlets too. They help so much in the healing process!
She is by far the most fascinating person I have ever watched on your channel. I have related more to her, cried more tears for and really wanted to reach out and meet with this beautiful hearted soul. As someone who has endured my own horrific trauma from my past, domestic violence, all forms of abuse, it's left me with not just suicidal ideations almost daily that I have to talk myself out of, marital issues, infidelity on my behalf, drug use (I'm 3 years clean & sober now, but I was on heroin and pills and coke and meth for 16 years), loss of parental rights, financial and home stability, trusting law enforcement, abandonment issues, and now that I do have a home, I don't leave my home at all not even to go outside. I've gone 3 to 4 weeks without stepping outside from my past still haunting me. I have hateful resentment towards my mother for what she has done to me and I feel betrayed by my father for choosing her over me. The saddest thing, it wasn't like this growing up, I was a daddy's girl and thought the world of my dad. He was my hero and i loved him so much. It just wasn't supposed to be this way. I miss my babies so much. My life wasn't supposed to be this way. I would love to meet her one day.
I am so terribly sorry for all that you have endured Shelly!! But you are Still Here & even tho so much of the time that can feel like a burden ( I too deal w/suicidal ideation et al ) I find some days are better than others - so there's that. If you want to meet Jeanine, reach out to mark on one of his socials & perhaps you would be able to make contact with her?? But definitely listen to her words of the power of Love, Hope, Faith, Forgiveness in order to heal. You have already accomplished so much - living through the trauma that was put upon you, becoming sober * that is truly an incredible testament to your power, strength & faith!! You are clearly a survivor!! I try to remind myself that every time I point a finger - there are three pointing back at me.... Forgiveness is No Easy Journey but it is the path to healing, imo. And that begins with forgiving Yourself ♥ Even if you don't leave your house that's ok for today - focus on what you have accomplished & what you are grateful for if you can. I wish you all the best! Be Well my friend....
Jeanie, Shelly and Jack and Jill. In 😭. I thought I was the only one. I relate to all of your stories. Only not the thoughts of suicide. I have dealt with multiple family members and friends who have taken theirs lives. Please make me a promise that you will never think these thoughts again. It will paralyze and pierce the hearts your loved ones if you act on these thoughts. You are beautiful, strong women. Always know and believe that people like us continue to make the world a better place. Speaking for myself, I need people like you in this awful world that we exist in today. I am going to pray for all three of us tonight. May God bless you all and thank you for making me realize that I am not alone.
❤this beautiful women! She reminds me of myself! U had to hold back tears! My childhood was a nitemare also! Please have this beautiful woman back! We need more of her! Please show her art! Thank you for sharing all the amazing souls that touch our souls!❤❤❤
One of my favourite interviews by Mark. Jeanine is such a beautiful soul and her words truly brought tears to my eyes. I wish her all the best for her continued healing.
Thank you so much, Ana! I appreciate your well wishes. I continue to work on myself and let go of anger and despair. Detachment is a skill one must learn to overcome trauma. Ram Das talks a lot about it. Robert Adams is a wealth of spiritual inspiration too! Namaste! :)
Janine you are amazing - you are so fucking honourable. I have a diagnosis of CPTSD (which I believe has been the root of undiagnosed Borderline personality and ADHD, I've been on the waiting list for 5 years) childhood trauma and emotional neglect cause these kinds of experiences. However listening to you has been SO humbling for me, because I've been struggling/suffering so much and then I hear your story and I just feel humbled. You are beautiful and so wise. I'ts all about love - you are an ambassador for love on this planet
I this one takes the cake as far as trauma goes. This woman is a warrior. She should be extremely proud of herself for making it out of her childhood alive and with a spirit of forgiveness. She’s an inspiration🥰
Now this was a genuine, but very unexpected story. I can't help but like this woman. She seems very strong and positive for all she has been through. The fact that she views herself as a survivor and not a victim, speaks volumes. She definitely needs a part 2.
Bless you Janine…. You are so beautiful. I see you… I too suffer with depression and ptsd. Your messages and your strength filled me with “hope”….I do not feel …alone.
This channel has made me appreciate my parents even more if that was possible. Most of these souls have a really rough childhood. Good for this lady, she has climbed the Everest of her own health!
This is such a heartbreaking interview to listen too but I'm glad she ended it on a beautiful note. This is definitely one of the few videos I'll revisit in the future
What an incredible person to go through all she did and to come out on the other side with compassion for her family. She is brave and strong, thank you for sharing your story. I have someone I’m close to that is in an abusive relationship that needs to hear this
Just an hour before watching this I was thinking about blame/shame, what a revolving door it is. It's like we've reached the vortex of this duality that is eating us alive. Literally. Raising our individual vibration may truly be the savior we've been waiting for.
Jeanine, you are an incredible anomaly. Thank you for sharing your story with us. I also believe in forgiveness and spirituality. People aren't born evil, defense mechanisms create detachment which is the platform necessary to become the monster. Many psychopaths were severely neglected as infants. Human to human contact for more than 30 seconds releases oxytocin in our brains. This chemical is a natural stimulant, antidepressant and mood stabilizer. The absence of oxytocin in the early stage of life does not allow the brain to develop normally, for example lack of empathy, no startle reflex, predatory behaviors such as animal cruelty, ingesting or applying feces to the body and other things in the immediate environment and so on. Eventually these things mutate over time into much more horrific behaviors, similar to worse than your brother's. I can't express enough the importance of something as simple as a hug, for at least half a minute a day, not just as infants but throughout our lives is crucial. People in prison who have experienced extreme isolation for prolonged periods of time are often seriously mentally impaired and when released their behaviors are more extreme than they were before entering prison. I saw a person standing on the street wearing a sign that said "free hugs". I was astonished at how many people were willing to accept this offer from a stranger. We need each other. We need to give and receive love! You have a beautiful soul, Jeanine. People like you make our world a better place.
Applause.....great interview, Mark. Thank you Jeanine. Some of us as SWU followers are at a more advanced journey. You have added to my knowledge of my healing. Blessing's to you. ❤️Tee in N.M.
I believe that people can be born evil. Psychopaths lack spindle neurons which aid in empathy. Empaths have excessive spindle neurons. Genetics loads the gun but environments can pull the trigger.
Good Morning Internet People!👋🤓or whatever time of day it is in your part of the world. Peace and Love from 6:00am Brooklyn NY🇺🇸 to you and wherever in the world you are, my SWU family.
Yes! Jeanine I would love to see your art❤ I needed so much in this moment to hear those last words… “You have to have faith and hope to heal. And you have to embrace Love for yourself and others” God Bless you Jeanine How I needed to hear this❤❤❤❤❤❤ Love for
She was on the right track when she was talking about the traumatic things that happened to her brother as a child…evil and demonic entities and such. These are real and seek out souls to ravage. God heals ❤️🩹 Many blessings to her… True Light and Love 🙏🏻
Not only a sobering account about the degree of disfunctionality, brutality and even cruelty that can sometimes be brewed inside families, but also a wonderful example of how through creativity, awareness, hope and love, life is journey totally worth. I feel immense respect for her courageous way of putting a fight, through art and therapy, against all these monsters preying on mental stability and sense of happiness.
Jeanine, I felt a connection with you just by looking at your picture before even clicking on the video. I am from Saint Petersburg Florida.but moved to central Florida in 1975 when I was 13 years old. I also suffer from childhood trauma and severe PTSD. I have been doing work on my trauma through EMDR and intense therapy every two weeks for the past 16 years. I feel a unexplainable connection to you, but I think something don’t have to be explained. Jeanine, I wish you all the best on your journey to healing you are a beautiful person. Love and light my friend.✌🏼❤️ ohh and Go Gators 🐊
Jeanine I love your open mind and thank you for being a bright light in this world. Mark is just like that too, shining so clearly in this troubled world. ✨🌟✨
It is a very different hell to be this intelligent and articulate and living in this, trying to operate and form a life out of this, and loving people who won’t help you or themselves. It gets old being told you’re strong, and you figure it out, and you my dear propelled yourself out. I did too, but the love you have for your people and people in general is a hard trait to temper.❤
Thank you, LA! I'll be happy to return, if Mark wants that. Meanwhile, I would love to have a TH-cam show of my own one day and I even have a vlogging camera. But I need someone else to run the camera. Maybe one day, this will happen. :)
Smh. One brave, amazing lady. I applaud her for doing the work to get better. I can't even imagine that level of trauma. She deserves some peace and happiness in her life. I wish her all the best. Would love to see her artwork.
Wishing you reach a place of healing and calm. You may not think it but you are a warrior. You are strong and wise in spite of all that has happened to you. Love from Australia x
Thank you for your kind words & encouragement to keep pushing through, Jeanine. I am also the only stable family member & suffer from childhood PTSD. Working through my trauma in Therapy hasnt been easy but it is 100% worth it. The biggest thing I have learned is Loving kindness can go along way for myself & for others in this world. ☮️❤ Wishing you love & light on your healing journey!
Thank you, Sydney! I'm sorry for my late response. I responded to everyone but someone out there took all my comments down. Days later, I can finally get back to people I already responded to and the comment isn't deleted. May the Goddess bless you! :)
Jeanine, your grace, resilience and optimism is an inspiration. I am in my early 50’s. I grew up in the suburbs of NY in the 70’s - 90’s. We had the music and arts programs in public school then. I always colored, drew, loved classic musical movies, music (studied violin for 3yrs ages 9-12), and ended up BARELY getting my BFA in MEDIA ARTS - GRAPHIC DESIGN (due a narcissistic abuse father trying to stop me) in ‘93 in NYC at the hight of the APPLE COMPUTER entering the design industry when VP’s never learned it and weren’t going to! Anyway. Almost all of what you shared I can do relate from the being part of a privileged part, to the drugs, pedophilia, alcoholism, even criminal exposure… I tried all of the spiritual Avenues (I am first generation of an immigrant family with a lot more of its own). I tried healers, seers, rhunes, others I can’t remember, … even now I do believe in certain Shaman possibilities… My first Major Depression break was at age 27. Had no idea what happened. Diagnosed with PTSD. That was is. Proscribed meds. Went on my way. A psychiatrist I have had since 2011 diagnosed me with CPTSD (Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). I didn’t find out until 4yrs ago. Do your research. Even though it is difficult to find quality therapy there is a lot of latest helpful information and education on TH-cam and Netflix… CPTSD, Dr. Bessel Van Der Kolk - “The Body Keeps The Score”, the movie “The Wisdom of Trauma”, you would be surprised how much misdiagnosis is going on out there such as bipolar. You would be surprised how much our mind suppresses and how much can be treated and not take too long. Look for therapists with “sliding scale” fees or who take Medicare, Medicaid, community mental health centers, psychology today website, NAMI website, at least try and see, go on TH-cam and watch what questions to ask your therapist? How do you know if you have a therapist? How do you if you have bipolar? How do you know if you have childhood trauma? MOST OF ALL! Don’t trust anyone until they have proven they know what they are talking about or can be trusted. Trauma can happen in families by being being exposed to it. Sounds like your family had “intergenerational” trauma. Trauma at from one event at the very youngest age or the very smallest can be repressed in our mind and show up in our body or actions by drug addiction, depression, anxiety, fibromyalgia, heart condition, even cancer… just punch in your experiences in TH-cam or even Google. (I started looking at various resources that were credible that agreed on the same thing)… top treatments for CPTSD - EMDR, SOMATIC EXPERIENCING/YOGA, NOW NEW RESEARCH ON MICRO-DOSING OF PSYCHEDELICS! Like you said in the end! We need empathy for one another. Love. Grace. We do need to reach out and help and have patience. Maybe even your sister? My brother passed at 30. I have 3sisters I tried but because of exposure to a malignant narcissistic father and my being the family scapegoat they have turned on me and now abuse me like he does after my supporter and buffer, my mom passed 4yrs ago… They are toxic and based on research - unless they seek treatment- the intergenerational will continue. There is help. To keep my comments from turning into A BOOK. I hope these comments help. Just try some of the things I have mentioned. It took me a long time to stop listing to who I thought knew and exploring the wrong directions while in soo much hell… Still am… But keeping the faith a little at a time. Art is our saving grace! It is a dissociative tool! It helped us escape through joy and self expression! It is like a drug for me (or was - I am blocked for a while now). Also, when we are the family EMPATHS, the ones holding it all together, the ones born with a talent - we have this independence, resiliency but we stuff things down - not necessarily good. We can self sabotage- hurt our bodies. I looked like I had all most of my life. Fear is always there. We are just so used to it - like when you blocked out your reaction to the news. Coping mechanisms. Thanks for your story.
What a story of human will, survival, and grace. I can't even imagine what you have been thru and it is amazing that you made it out alive with such a gentle soul. This brought a tear to my eye as I know that family is the bedrock of a successful life, especially having good parents. Talk about heartbreak and betrayal. As you say, forgiveness is the key. You are an inspiration and you are strong and brave. Continued good luck and God bless you, sweetheart.
Great interview and amazing woman! I agree with the 'more therapy & more art'!! I have a history of childhood trauma and am a self taught artist. I learned the benefits of creating as a result of healing from the trauma. Now it's my self-care & identity. I realized I was an artist all along but had never had the space or encouragement to allow that part of me to emerge. I discovered I could paint in my early 40's and it has been a lifesavers me. Thank you for sharing!
Such a deep story . I'm from Florida too I grew up in drug infested city in new york But I cried out to Jesus Christ and he healed me supernatural I'm praying for you there so much hope for you and I see it.
I am here for this level of trauma. You're a testament to how survival plus even thriving can happen if you try hard & have a clear perception of reality. So glad you found a way with art. Very similar undertones to my upbringing, but no murder, though my brother tried to talk me into killing our mom. Father (pedo) suicided at 44. It's crazy how some make it out of these situations & others just can't. It's like The Munsters, the odd one who holds it all together. Like you, to preserve whatever life I thought I could live, I had to get completely away from them (changed name, changed State, went no contact for 2 decades). ART & following my dream with that saved me. Knew I could only succeed apart from relatives so made a run for it. Turned out I had talent at something, despite years of family denigrating me, & the best revenge truly is living well. You said you're open to anything that heals; for me it's been some 2-month long silent Buddhist meditation retreats (where after anger bubbles up, it's sadness & grief, which is at the bottom of it for me, at least). Hatha yoga, walking big distances, talking to those with similar or worse backgrounds, eating absolutely healthy, sleep, herbs, being in nature, film noirs, & when I start feeling resentful or sorry for my past, I remember instead of "Why me?" the question I should ask is, "Why not me?" Best wishes for you, you're truly an amazing example of the joy of survival, the strength of the human spirit. Anyone reading this, I believe you can forge your own path, too. Just take baby steps.
She is a beautiful soul, working toward healing not only herself, but every spirit being in her lineage ❤️ I commend her, immensely. Continue eating well, resting and moving your body. Like you touched on, it will continue to help.
Her genius lends itself to storytelling as well! wow!! PLZ do bring her back. I'm glad certain times I truly feel your talks give these ppl more needed therapy.
Shout to Ram Dass! He changed my life and I am forever grateful. I’m so glad to hear that connection here. I wish you blessings and healing from Virginia. Ram Ram 🙏
This lady is so courageous. It breaks my heart to know that so many people didn't get to enjoy their childhood. I hope she finds peace and joy in the future.
So sad. My brother is a pos fortunately I joined the army and moved far far away from him. He’s psycho and a deadbeat. Had a love hate relationship with my mother. Lost her in December 2019. So sorry for your trauma. Prayers for peace and healing
Forgiving others isn't for the benefit of those who have harmed you --- It's so that you can move own from the wrong done you. Childhood trauma has lifelong impacts. Some never find a way to go on, others slowly climb out of the darkness. Jeanine has been able to do this. The scars will always be there but she's managed to knit her soul back together. She has wonderful insight into herself. I truly hope she can find someone who will appreciate her, cherish her, love her for the woman she is. She has a strong heart and so much to give life.
Thank you so much, Nia! I do have a good man in my life now. He too has suffered great trauma. I think this is part of why we can relate to one another. We are now helping each other to heal. :)
Jeanine, I can't even put into words how touching your story was. I would love to hear more. I could relate to SO MUCH. You really gave me hope today. I needed to see this video today. Ironically, I reside in the Tampa Bay area now. You're a divinely beautiful soul! Please don't ever dim your light and love 💜
You can find me and my artwork on FB, in three photo albums, as well as IG (artistjeanine) and I am starting my own YT channel, which you are welcome to check out. I just posted my introductory video, as I get ready to tell my life story and try to help others heal from trauma and depression.
@ siem…. We all have, if you’re on this account and viewing now. That’s why I’m here. Now this is a deep story with trauma most 99% here have never experienced so I cannot compare. What I do know is my personal experiences with abuse and trauma & for me PTSD . Trauma / PTSD / The issue ( for me anyways ) comes down to your personal fortitude and inner strength, the will to live and provide for your family, reaching out to Christ our Lord and Savior as a watchman, begging for repentance and making amends with all you’ve hurt, while being hurt from your own trauma and, during and while in the process of healing ( 14th year now ) with a sober mind and the full clarity that comes with it. All while seeking helpful treatments for yourself as It’s a long road to healing and it never ends. Bless your journey and have a wonderful weekend
My heart is breaking for you. I am so sorry you are hurting All my love, friend Keep pushing through it. You seem so smart and open to healing. You are beautiful and inspirational ❤
Life is beautiful and bittersweet. Just think, despite all of the detours in her life, look at her. She's a beautiful woman who has so much to this planet ❤ and I am sure that she has already offered this planet ALOT. Thanks again Mark, like I have said many times, you don't ever cease to amaze me.
Jeanine, I am so sorry for everything you’ve gone through in your life, no one deserves that. What a beautiful light you are and such an inspiration. I wish you all the best❤️
I relate to this woman so much. My family situation has been very traumatic, abusive mentally ill brother, schizophrenic mom who manipulated everyone with paranoia and a father with depression, anxiety. I was a "parentfied" child and grew up fast. I have used my art to cope when i was younger and still do. Therapy for years, support groups. My moms abuse led me to leaning to domestic abuse relationships, causing more trauma in my 20s. "More therapy and more art." words that have helped me. Thank you for this interview. It is my favorite on here and she is an amazing soul.
I'm so sorry you went through so much trauma too! Thank you for your encouragement and I am very happy that I can help you and others, just in knowing other people have suffered as much as you have. So many of us sensitive souls were traumatized as kids. I think it's part of an artist's soul journey to suffer. How can you understand the pathos of humankind, if you don't yourself suffer?
She’s broken a generational curse. It stops with her. Incredible strength
Does she have kids?

She is by far the most fascinating person I have ever watched on your channel. I have related more to her, cried more tears for and really wanted to reach out and meet with this beautiful hearted soul. As someone who has endured my own horrific trauma from my past, domestic violence, all forms of abuse, it's left me with not just suicidal ideations almost daily that I have to talk myself out of, marital issues, infidelity on my behalf, drug use (I'm 3 years clean & sober now, but I was on heroin and pills and coke and meth for 16 years), loss of parental rights, financial and home stability, trusting law enforcement, abandonment issues, and now that I do have a home, I don't leave my home at all not even to go outside.

@@jeantreanor2447 Don't worry, Jean. My days of wanting to off myself are over. Thank you and bless you! :)
❤this beautiful women! She reminds me of myself! U had to hold back tears! My childhood was a nitemare also! Please have this beautiful woman back! We need more of her! Please show her art! Thank you for sharing all the amazing souls that touch our souls!❤❤❤
One of my favourite interviews by Mark. Jeanine is such a beautiful soul and her words truly brought tears to my eyes. I wish her all the best for her continued healing.
Thank you so much, Ana! I appreciate your well wishes. I continue to work on myself and let go of anger and despair. Detachment is a skill one must learn to overcome trauma. Ram Das talks a lot about it. Robert Adams is a wealth of spiritual inspiration too! Namaste! :)
As a trauma survivor, this video was extremely validating.

What a strong woman. She is able to feel and face her pain in a way that none of her family could - it’s what probably saved her.
Thank you, Emma! :)
@@09Jeanine your story has come to me in a very transformative part of my life! Sending you my well wishes!
Dear God, this lady deserves eternal peace. What a hellish life. Bless her.
Janine you are amazing - you are so fucking honourable. I have a diagnosis of CPTSD (which I believe has been the root of undiagnosed Borderline personality and ADHD, I've been on the waiting list for 5 years) childhood trauma and emotional neglect cause these kinds of experiences. However listening to you has been SO humbling for me, because I've been struggling/suffering so much and then I hear your story and I just feel humbled. You are beautiful and so wise. I'ts all about love - you are an ambassador for love on this planet
Wow! Thank you so much!!! :)
I this one takes the cake as far as trauma goes. This woman is a warrior. She should be extremely proud of herself for making it out of her childhood alive and with a spirit of forgiveness. She’s an inspiration🥰
u obviously don't watch this channel. is is rough. but not even close to some of the others
Thank you so much, Ashley! :)
Now this was a genuine, but very unexpected story. I can't help but like this woman. She seems very strong and positive for all she has been through. The fact that she views herself as a survivor and not a victim, speaks volumes. She definitely needs a part 2.
Thank you so much, Mari! :)
I would be so happy to call Jeanine my friend. What an incredible woman.
Thank you, Meggie! You're welcome to add me on FB, if you like.
I Soooooooo needed this today as I am the primary caregiver for my step brother who lives with severe mental illness. Thank you! Bless you!
You're welcome!
This was my favorite interview yet! Jeanine you are doing the hard work and it shows!
Bless you Janine…. You are so beautiful. I see you… I too suffer with depression and ptsd. Your messages and your strength filled me with “hope”….I do not feel …alone.
This channel has made me appreciate my parents even more if that was possible. Most of these souls have a really rough childhood. Good for this lady, she has climbed the Everest of her own health!
This is such a heartbreaking interview to listen too but I'm glad she ended it on a beautiful note. This is definitely one of the few videos I'll revisit in the future
Thank you very much, Gabbie! :)
Her TH-cam channel th-cam.com/video/ZnLZk9a0B-E/w-d-xo.htmlsi=LHxR0FRJWgKqfDQ9
I love this woman! Her views on the role of art and therapy resonate so much 💖 I would love to see her on here again
Mark, it would be wonderful to see a collaboration between yourself and Jeanine. You two are kindred souls
What a absolute beautiful human. She's done the work.
Thank you! :)
What an incredible person to go through all she did and to come out on the other side with compassion for her family. She is brave and strong, thank you for sharing your story. I have someone I’m close to that is in an abusive relationship that needs to hear this
Thank you! :)
Just an hour before watching this I was thinking about blame/shame, what a revolving door it is. It's like we've reached the vortex of this duality that is eating us alive. Literally. Raising our individual vibration may truly be the savior we've been waiting for.
What an amazing person to have all the negativity in her life and yet find peace in herself ❤
Jeanine, you are an incredible anomaly. Thank you for sharing your story with us. I also believe in forgiveness and spirituality. People aren't born evil, defense mechanisms create detachment which is the platform necessary to become the monster. Many psychopaths were severely neglected as infants. Human to human contact for more than 30 seconds releases oxytocin in our brains. This chemical is a natural stimulant, antidepressant and mood stabilizer. The absence of oxytocin in the early stage of life does not allow the brain to develop normally, for example lack of empathy, no startle reflex, predatory behaviors such as animal cruelty, ingesting or applying feces to the body and other things in the immediate environment and so on. Eventually these things mutate over time into much more horrific behaviors, similar to worse than your brother's. I can't express enough the importance of something as simple as a hug, for at least half a minute a day, not just as infants but throughout our lives is crucial. People in prison who have experienced extreme isolation for prolonged periods of time are often seriously mentally impaired and when released their behaviors are more extreme than they were before entering prison. I saw a person standing on the street wearing a sign that said "free hugs". I was astonished at how many people were willing to accept this offer from a stranger. We need each other. We need to give and receive love! You have a beautiful soul, Jeanine. People like you make our world a better place.

Applause.....great interview, Mark. Thank you Jeanine. Some of us as SWU followers are at a more advanced journey. You have added to my knowledge of my healing. Blessing's to you. ❤️Tee in N.M.
@@jacobus57 Maybe not you.
I believe that people can be born evil. Psychopaths lack spindle neurons which aid in empathy. Empaths have excessive spindle neurons. Genetics loads the gun but environments can pull the trigger.
@@terywetherlow7970 Thank you! :)
What an amazing person. So kind, wise and brave. I hope she reaches a space of peace and healing. She is a real teacher!
Thank you so much, Cecilia! I was actually a teacher. I hope to teach again one day.
Good Morning Internet People!👋🤓or whatever time of day it is in your part of the world. Peace and Love from 6:00am Brooklyn NY🇺🇸 to you and wherever in the world you are, my SWU family.

Jeanine was so well spoken. She sounded confident in herself and was very sincere and authentic.. I wish her well
Thank you, Sandy! :)
Yes! Jeanine
I would love to see your art❤
I needed so much in this moment to hear those last words…
“You have to have faith and hope to heal. And you have to embrace Love for yourself and others”
God Bless you Jeanine
How I needed to hear this❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love for
She was on the right track when she was talking about the traumatic things that happened to her brother as a child…evil and demonic entities and such. These are real and seek out souls to ravage.
God heals ❤️🩹
Many blessings to her… True Light and Love 🙏🏻
Thank you! :)
@@09Jeanine 💗
Almost didn't click onto this one, glad I did. I'd love to hear more of Jeanine, and see her art (:
Not only a sobering account about the degree of disfunctionality, brutality and even cruelty that can sometimes be brewed inside families, but also a wonderful example of how through creativity, awareness, hope and love, life is journey totally worth. I feel immense respect for her courageous way of putting a fight, through art and therapy, against all these monsters preying on mental stability and sense of happiness.
Encouraging.
Uplifting.
Wisdom and grace.
Thank you so much J.
Thank you, Esther! :)
Good morning!! It’s 6:21am in Orlando Florida. Blessings to you All!! Mark is the man of the hour wherever We are! ❤
Right back atcha! 🫵😉 Good Morning from 6:30am Brooklyn NY.
5 Hours ahead of you in UK - but Soft White Under Belly is the place to be !!!!
Its 6:37 AM in California. Waking up to a cup of coffee SWU, Mark, and Jeanine. Great way to start the day
Janine don’t stop you have so much ahead of you you’re amazing woman
Thank you so much, Pamela! :) Jeanine Wiggins
Jeanine, I felt a connection with you just by looking at your picture before even clicking on the video. I am from Saint Petersburg Florida.but moved to central Florida in 1975 when I was 13 years old. I also suffer from childhood trauma and severe PTSD. I have been doing work on my trauma through EMDR and intense therapy every two weeks for the past 16 years. I feel a unexplainable connection to you, but I think something don’t have to be explained. Jeanine, I wish you all the best on your journey to healing you are a beautiful person. Love and light my friend.✌🏼❤️ ohh and Go Gators 🐊
I hope you have great success healing. Bless you!
Jeanine I love your open mind and thank you for being a bright light in this world. Mark is just like that too, shining so clearly in this troubled world. ✨🌟✨
Thank you!
I could listen to her for hours. Thank you Jeanine. Much love.
"My talent is my saving grace." Indeed it is dear, Jeanine.
Thank you so much! :)
It is a very different hell to be this intelligent and articulate and living in this, trying to operate and form a life out of this, and loving people who won’t help you or themselves. It gets old being told you’re strong, and you figure it out, and you my dear propelled yourself out. I did too, but the love you have for your people and people in general is a hard trait to temper.❤
Thank you! :) If you wish to hear my whole story, I'm slowly telling it on my YT channel. The Jeanine Wiggins channel.
I really like her. She sounds like she'd be a great friend. I like her sharing her self care and what she's learned. I would enjoy another interview.
Me too. She's awesome! I'd love for her to have a channel for us to go to and listen 🤗
@@xtinamarie_333 That's a great idea! I would definitely subscribe.
Thank you, LA! I'll be happy to return, if Mark wants that. Meanwhile, I would love to have a TH-cam show of my own one day and I even have a vlogging camera. But I need someone else to run the camera. Maybe one day, this will happen. :)
Thank you, LA! :)
Thank you for sharing Jeanie! Your interview was therapeutic. I’d love to hear more do her stories, Mark.
Thank you, Carolyn! :) I am working on creating my own TH-cam channel. I will come back here and share a link to it when it's up and running. :)
Heart breaking. Wishing her all the love in the world.
Shes very wise a lot of things she said were helpful for me and her energy is lovely
Thank you, Audrey!!! :)
This woman is incredible!! A complete gem of a person
Thank you!
Smh. One brave, amazing lady. I applaud her for doing the work to get better. I can't even imagine that level of trauma. She deserves some peace and happiness in her life. I wish her all the best. Would love to see her artwork.
Wishing you reach a place of healing and calm. You may not think it but you are a warrior. You are strong and wise in spite of all that has happened to you. Love from Australia x
Thank you for your kind words & encouragement to keep pushing through, Jeanine.
I am also the only stable family member & suffer from childhood PTSD. Working through my trauma in Therapy hasnt been easy but it is 100% worth it. The biggest thing I have learned is Loving kindness can go along way for myself & for others in this world. ☮️❤
Wishing you love & light on your healing journey!
Thank you, Sydney! I'm sorry for my late response. I responded to everyone but someone out there took all my comments down. Days later, I can finally get back to people I already responded to and the comment isn't deleted. May the Goddess bless you! :)
Jeanine, your grace, resilience and optimism is an inspiration.
I am in my early 50’s. I grew up in the suburbs of NY in the 70’s - 90’s. We had the music and arts programs in public school then. I always colored, drew, loved classic musical movies, music (studied violin for 3yrs ages 9-12), and ended up BARELY getting my BFA in MEDIA ARTS - GRAPHIC DESIGN (due a narcissistic abuse father trying to stop me) in ‘93 in NYC at the hight of the APPLE COMPUTER entering the design industry when VP’s never learned it and weren’t going to!
Anyway. Almost all of what you shared I can do relate from the being part of a privileged part, to the drugs, pedophilia, alcoholism, even criminal exposure…
I tried all of the spiritual Avenues (I am first generation of an immigrant family with a lot more of its own). I tried healers, seers, rhunes, others I can’t remember, … even now I do believe in certain Shaman possibilities…
My first Major Depression break was at age 27. Had no idea what happened. Diagnosed with PTSD. That was is. Proscribed meds. Went on my way.
A psychiatrist I have had since 2011 diagnosed me with CPTSD (Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). I didn’t find out until 4yrs ago. Do your research. Even though it is difficult to find quality therapy there is a lot of latest helpful information and education on TH-cam and Netflix… CPTSD, Dr. Bessel Van Der Kolk - “The Body Keeps The Score”, the movie “The Wisdom of Trauma”, you would be surprised how much misdiagnosis is going on out there such as bipolar. You would be surprised how much our mind suppresses and how much can be treated and not take too long. Look for therapists with “sliding scale” fees or who take Medicare, Medicaid, community mental health centers, psychology today website, NAMI website, at least try and see, go on TH-cam and watch what questions to ask your therapist? How do you know if you have a therapist? How do you if you have bipolar? How do you know if you have childhood trauma? MOST OF ALL! Don’t trust anyone until they have proven they know what they are talking about or can be trusted. Trauma can happen in families by being being exposed to it. Sounds like your family had “intergenerational” trauma. Trauma at from one event at the very youngest age or the very smallest can be repressed in our mind and show up in our body or actions by drug addiction, depression, anxiety, fibromyalgia, heart condition, even cancer… just punch in your experiences in TH-cam or even Google. (I started looking at various resources that were credible that agreed on the same thing)… top treatments for CPTSD - EMDR, SOMATIC EXPERIENCING/YOGA, NOW NEW RESEARCH ON MICRO-DOSING OF PSYCHEDELICS!
Like you said in the end!
We need empathy for one another. Love. Grace.
We do need to reach out and help and have patience.
Maybe even your sister?
My brother passed at 30.
I have 3sisters I tried but because of exposure to a malignant narcissistic father and my being the family scapegoat they have turned on me and now abuse me like he does after my supporter and buffer, my mom passed 4yrs ago…
They are toxic and based on research - unless they seek treatment- the intergenerational will continue.
There is help. To keep my comments from turning into A BOOK. I hope these comments help.
Just try some of the things I have mentioned.
It took me a long time to stop listing to who I thought knew and exploring the wrong directions while in soo much hell…
Still am…
But keeping the faith a little at a time.
Art is our saving grace!
It is a dissociative tool!
It helped us escape through joy and self expression! It is like a drug for me (or was - I am blocked for a while now).
Also, when we are the family EMPATHS, the ones holding it all together, the ones born with a talent - we have this independence, resiliency but we stuff things down - not necessarily good.
We can self sabotage- hurt our bodies.
I looked like I had all most of my life.
Fear is always there. We are just so used to it - like when you blocked out your reaction to the news.
Coping mechanisms.
Thanks for your story.
Wow .. profound …..a true alchemist. A true warrior … now that is a genuine influencer ❤
An amazing lady. Go forth and find your artful place in the world!
I'm so sorry you were given such a challenging hand ....you are inspiring
I love this woman’s information that she gave as well as her honesty in her voice. She needs to come back and she’s very intelligent and interesting
Wow! Thank you so much!!! :)
Jeanine, your smile can light up the world. Keep going! Blessings coming your way.
Thank you so much!!! :)
I like how Mark let her tell her story. Sometimes I like when he asks grilling questions but I’m glad he didn’t as much this time.
I think he is pretty sensitive.
I would love to see her back. Her words at the end were incredible
I wish I could hear her speak about this more. It’s beautiful. She is so consciously ahead
This video is the best birthday present: a beautiful soul/artist who walks the path of forgiveness. Thank you both.
You're welcome! :)
She is so right about forgiving yourself and others. It is hard but we must forgive. She is so smart. Wishing you all the best sweetie.
What a remarkable woman, just remarkable. She deserves the very best ❤️
Thank you for the interview Jeanine & SWU
Thank you for listening and caring! :)
What a story of human will, survival, and grace. I can't even imagine what you have been thru and it is amazing that you made it out alive with such a gentle soul. This brought a tear to my eye as I know that family is the bedrock of a successful life, especially having good parents. Talk about heartbreak and betrayal. As you say, forgiveness is the key. You are an inspiration and you are strong and brave. Continued good luck and God bless you, sweetheart.
Jeanine, what a survivor - I wish you all the very best & every success in life and your art xxx
Her advise was very healing to me to hear. Thank you Jeanine.
You're welcome!
BRAVO!!! Perfectly executed storytelling coming from a solider of a woman! I wish nothing but peace, love and light to you and your family!
Great interview and amazing woman! I agree with the 'more therapy & more art'!! I have a history of childhood trauma and am a self taught artist. I learned the benefits of creating as a result of healing from the trauma. Now it's my self-care & identity. I realized I was an artist all along but had never had the space or encouragement to allow that part of me to emerge. I discovered I could paint in my early 40's and it has been a lifesavers me. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you and yes art is great therapy! :)
Such a deep story . I'm from Florida too I grew up in drug infested city in new york But I cried out to Jesus Christ and he healed me supernatural I'm praying for you there so much hope for you and I see it.
I am here for this level of trauma. You're a testament to how survival plus even thriving can happen if you try hard & have a clear perception of reality. So glad you found a way with art.
Very similar undertones to my upbringing, but no murder, though my brother tried to talk me into killing our mom. Father (pedo) suicided at 44. It's crazy how some make it out of these situations & others just can't. It's like The Munsters, the odd one who holds it all together. Like you, to preserve whatever life I thought I could live, I had to get completely away from them (changed name, changed State, went no contact for 2 decades). ART & following my dream with that saved me. Knew I could only succeed apart from relatives so made a run for it. Turned out I had talent at something, despite years of family denigrating me, & the best revenge truly is living well.
You said you're open to anything that heals; for me it's been some 2-month long silent Buddhist meditation retreats (where after anger bubbles up, it's sadness & grief, which is at the bottom of it for me, at least). Hatha yoga, walking big distances, talking to those with similar or worse backgrounds, eating absolutely healthy, sleep, herbs, being in nature, film noirs, & when I start feeling resentful or sorry for my past, I remember instead of "Why me?" the question I should ask is, "Why not me?" Best wishes for you, you're truly an amazing example of the joy of survival, the strength of the human spirit. Anyone reading this, I believe you can forge your own path, too. Just take baby steps.
She is a beautiful soul, working toward healing not only herself, but every spirit being in her lineage ❤️ I commend her, immensely. Continue eating well, resting and moving your body. Like you touched on, it will continue to help.
Thank you, Richard. All of these modalities are helping me to heal. :)
Her genius lends itself to storytelling as well! wow!! PLZ do bring her back. I'm glad certain times I truly feel your talks give these ppl more needed therapy.
Thank you, Rudy! Maybe Mark will have me back on, one day. :)
Shout to Ram Dass! He changed my life and I am forever grateful. I’m so glad to hear that connection here. I wish you blessings and healing from Virginia. Ram Ram 🙏
Yes Ram Das is amazing, even in the spirit world now. :)
You're a very strong woman. You should be very proud of yourself.
Thank you so much, Tammy! I very much appreciate your input. :)
This lady is so courageous. It breaks my heart to know that so many people didn't get to enjoy their childhood. I hope she finds peace and joy in the future.
Thank you! :)
So sad. My brother is a pos fortunately I joined the army and moved far far away from him. He’s psycho and a deadbeat. Had a love hate relationship with my mother. Lost her in December 2019. So sorry for your trauma. Prayers for peace and healing
Forgiving others isn't for the benefit of those who have harmed you --- It's so that you can move own from the wrong done you.
Childhood trauma has lifelong impacts. Some never find a way to go on, others slowly climb out of the darkness. Jeanine has been able to do this. The scars will always be there but she's managed to knit her soul back together.
She has wonderful insight into herself. I truly hope she can find someone who will appreciate her, cherish her, love her for the woman she is. She has a strong heart and so much to give life.
Thank you so much, Nia! I do have a good man in my life now. He too has suffered great trauma. I think this is part of why we can relate to one another. We are now helping each other to heal. :)
One of your best folks. Survivor. Gives me confidence and hope. Thank you Mark.
Thank you, Minnie! :)
I’m so glad I clicked on this video. I needed to hear this today. Thank you!
You're most welcome!
Jeanine, I can't even put into words how touching your story was. I would love to hear more. I could relate to SO MUCH. You really gave me hope today. I needed to see this video today. Ironically, I reside in the Tampa Bay area now. You're a divinely beautiful soul! Please don't ever dim your light and love 💜
Thank you so much!!! :) I hope you find happiness and healing!
FABULOUS interview!! What a well spoken woman…I would LOVE to find her artwork!!!❤❤❤
You can find me and my artwork on FB, in three photo albums, as well as IG (artistjeanine) and I am starting my own YT channel, which you are welcome to check out. I just posted my introductory video, as I get ready to tell my life story and try to help others heal from trauma and depression.

Thank Jeanine for sharing your experience 🙏. only people who have been through trauma can understand yours .you are so brave .
@ siem…. We all have, if you’re on this account and viewing now. That’s why I’m here. Now this is a deep story with trauma most 99% here have never experienced so I cannot compare. What I do know is my personal experiences with abuse and trauma & for me PTSD .
Trauma / PTSD / The issue ( for me anyways ) comes down to your personal fortitude and inner strength, the will to live and provide for your family, reaching out to Christ our Lord and Savior as a watchman, begging for repentance and making amends with all you’ve hurt, while being hurt from your own trauma and, during and while in the process of healing ( 14th year now ) with a sober mind and the full clarity that comes with it. All while seeking helpful treatments for yourself as It’s a long road to healing and it never ends. Bless your journey and have a wonderful weekend
My heart is breaking for you. I am so sorry you are hurting
All my love, friend
Keep pushing through it. You seem so smart and open to healing. You are beautiful and inspirational ❤
A great interview. I love them when they can tell their story without much prompting.
Thank you!
Thank you, Jeanine and Mark. That title says it all. Keep on lifting up yourselves and others.
Thank you!
What a life story. I send you all my blessings and love. Excellent channel and work.
I relate to her life in so many ways. Thank you, Jeanine! 💓
Holy Shit.... She is SO strong after all of that! What a Story.... This Warrior of a Woman deserves so much Lück and happieness NOW x.x
Life is beautiful and bittersweet. Just think, despite all of the detours in her life, look at her. She's a beautiful woman who has so much to this planet ❤ and I am sure that she has already offered this planet ALOT. Thanks again Mark, like I have said many times, you don't ever cease to amaze me.
Thank you, Lisa!
Thank you. All I can say is thank you from one artist to another, to Jeanine and Mark.
Thank you, Peter! :)
Jeanine, I am so sorry for everything you’ve gone through in your life, no one deserves that. What a beautiful light you are and such an inspiration. I wish you all the best❤️
Thank you so much! :)
Jeanine is an inspiration. What a strong woman.
Thank you so much! :)
I relate to this woman so much. My family situation has been very traumatic, abusive mentally ill brother, schizophrenic mom who manipulated everyone with paranoia and a father with depression, anxiety. I was a "parentfied" child and grew up fast. I have used my art to cope when i was younger and still do. Therapy for years, support groups. My moms abuse led me to leaning to domestic abuse relationships, causing more trauma in my 20s. "More therapy and more art." words that have helped me. Thank you for this interview. It is my favorite on here and she is an amazing soul.
I'm so sorry you went through so much trauma too! Thank you for your encouragement and I am very happy that I can help you and others, just in knowing other people have suffered as much as you have. So many of us sensitive souls were traumatized as kids. I think it's part of an artist's soul journey to suffer. How can you understand the pathos of humankind, if you don't yourself suffer?
Another best from Mark this year. ❤ the hope that healing is possible inspite if horrific circumstances. How beautifully spoken and lived.
A terrific true story. She is a pleasure to listen to. Thank you Mark.
Thank you!
I'm glad you're healing. I've been through chaos and trauma myself. I know how you feel. We care for you. I love you. God loves you.
