Therapist Breaks Down AMANDA SEALES on Club Shay Shay 

What are your thoughts about Amanda Seales? 🤔

Intelligence without open mindedness is useless. She is so convinced she that she is right, it actually make her kind of ignorant.

I work in the special education field. She said it costs $10k to get diagnosed for autism. It’s $350 for a private evaluation by a licensed psychologist.

Everyone talks about Amanda intelligence, but she is uncomfortably rude and if is intelligent shouldn’t she be aware of her unintelligent behavior.

Just a few points from this interview: ⁃ Her teacher was racist cause she didn't want Amanda talking back and correcting her. ⁃ Her dorm mates in college all hated her because she had a strong mind and was pretty ⁃ The extremely talented Marsha Ambrosius was intimidated of her for no reason and hated on her ⁃ She was expelled from college cause a white student lied on her ⁃ Nickelodeon was racist in the process of her getting another gig ⁃ She now has self-diagnosed autism now that people hate her (but when she was more popular she was just fine) ⁃ She got fired from Sirius radio and it wasn't her fault it was her boss. ⁃ She wasn't allowed into the Emmy's party for no apparent reason. ⁃ The cast of Insecure hated her for no reason ⁃ Issa Rae didn't protect her and didn't like her for no reason ⁃ Issa's publicist hated her for no reason ⁃ Black Enterprise started beef with her for no apparent reason. ⁃ Howard university decided to rescind her interview for no reason ⁃ The cast and executives on "The Real" didn't like her for no reason ⁃ Essence magazine don’t like her, once again for no reason. ⁃ Let’s not forget about her backtracking on her ex Myron Rolle, when she initially accused the neurosurgeon and ex NFL player of harassment ⁃ What about calling Jussie Smollet “Lowkey noble” when even Stevie Wonder could see that boy was lying. ⁃ Then the way she spoke about Shannon Sharp on her live after the interview came out. If Shannon has a issue with her now (which he doesn’t) she’d probably have no idea why once again No matter how educated she is, this woman has been the problem and constantly plays victim.

I think from the onset it was obvious she is easily triggered. Shannon was walking a tightrope with a personality that doesn't accept accountability at all. There was no subject that Shannon was sufficiently well versed in. Kudos to Shannon for even giving her an opportunity to tell her overly one sided stories.

The reason Amanda kept trying to go back to her story was because of two things: 1. She wasn’t actually open to anything anyone else says. That’s why her face and body language was closed off. Basically she WONT be helped. 2. She’s a control freak and didn’t want anyone else to have any level of control. She’s very difficult. She’s her own worst enemy.

I don't get genius level intelligence from Amanda Seals. She is a highly trained communicator and entertainer but nothing she says is brilliant.

Regarding the race issue. By Amanda's own admission she was a difficult child to deal with to THIS teacher. That same teacher praised her 3x but as soon as she complained about something Amanda was doing, the teacher is racist. So Shannon's counter statement/argument was logical. He was stating what a large segment of the audience thinking. Great interview with a controversial figure.

Aba and Preach broke it down perfectly. The woman is a professional victim. She's NEVER the problem 😂

I’m so glad you spoke on the Autism Spectrum issue. After her speaking on Autism I could not listen to her anymore, I can’t really take her serious. Because she uses big words does not make up extremely intelligent, it just means she a large vocabulary. And there is a such thing as an educated fool.

Shannon said the awkwardness was because of Amanda’s energy in the pre-interview. He said she started the pre-interview off being defensive from the moment they met. He said when he went to greet her he tried to hug her and she told him no I don’t hug. Then he said cool and tried to give her dap and she still was like nope. I can understand not wanting to hug a stranger but it is weird to start an interview being so standoffish, especially considering that she asked for the interview. Surely she could have given him a handshake. But Shannon still complimented her and said that she is very intelligent and well read it’s just that whatever trauma she’s experienced causes her to be guarded with new people until she’s comfortable.

She put it out there that she has autism so that it can justify her behavior. I don’t think she anticipated Unc to ask if she was actually diagnosed by a doctor

Narcissistic narratives typically follow a predictable pattern: individuals cast themselves as either perpetual victims or heroes, yet consistently overlook their own shortcomings. Amanda is undeniably brilliant-a fact she highlighted repeatedly during the interview-yet her pronounced narcissistic traits are just as clear. It's important to recognize that we all fall somewhere on the narcissistic spectrum, with many highly successful individuals displaying significant levels. Challenges arise when those at the higher end of this spectrum struggle to manage their narcissism effectively. Their behavior can become so conflict-ridden that it severely impacts their interactions with others. Although I am not a mental health professional, I believe Amanda would greatly benefit from a clinical mental heath diagnoses and engaging in targeted therapy to better manage these traits.

She is not intelligent. Having a degree and throwing big words on conversations don’t make someone intelligent.. Being intelligent is also being able to understand others opinions , being able to have an intelligent conversation with “least intelligent” people, being able to maintain good relationships with people , being easy to work with, being able to take an objective critique etc… An Intelligent person will go see a professional to confirm his self diagnosis etc… Lets be honest

Amanda admitted that her mom allowed her to be free to be herself, to express herself freely. She said even with family, her mother didn’t allow them to interfere with that. She’s extremely educated, but because of her up bringing, she wasn’t really corrected and held accountable when needed. I can’t assume, but it seems like she was always going head to head with everyone and when she didn’t get her way, she became the victim. It’s ok to be “pro black” as long as it’s not offensive and combative, but Amanda is very in your face vocal all the time, which can be intimidating or irritable for some people. Amanda is a leader, but to be a leader of value, you have to be teachable. I think Amanda isn’t autistic, at this point she wants to be diagnostic to give an excuse as to why she’s the way she is, without having to truly change and it would lessen the blow of her ego and people’s views about her. Don’t come calling me a “hater” because I’m a huge fan, way back from def poetry jam. Shannon on the other hand wasn’t prepared for that interview, he was very dismissive at times, combative and gave his opinion based on his lack of understanding and ignorance. He’s NOT a good listener either, just want an answer for his line of questions. Amanda is not the fake type, you either like her or not, but she has to understand that she has to learn to be accountable or no one will want to work or date her long term.

Exactly! Being black is not monolithic. We have varying degrees of lived experiences within all shades of blackness and varying economic statuses.

Nothing she said blew my mind to where I felt she was intelligent. She used big words, that’s all. She does word of the day on her show. She is smart but I highly doubt she is the genius she professes herself to be

I work as an intern under a clinical psychologist and she was furious with Seales claiming she has autism!

It’s crazy to read these comments. If you guys are upset she is labeling herself and didn’t get professionally diagnosed with autism, why are we unprofessionally diagnosing her with narcissism?

As a Licensed Social Worker with extensive counseling/therapy experience as well, I absolutely appreciate this video. I have said the exact same thing about Shannon having to be careful with his choice of words but being very intelligent himself. He absolutely would not be where he is if he were dumb. Just because he chose not to use elaborate words does not mean he's dumb. He was seeking understanding, which is a strength. He's not a mental health professional, so he rightfully asked for clarification on Autism .. And i appreciate you sharing she's intelligent. This really is not just about her ability to use big words but that she is knowledgeable about a lot. However, the arrogance was not warranted re: her Master's in African African Studies and in other instances. She negates other's opinions in a demeaning way. Accountability, as she takes a long hard look in the mirror and see the common denominator is her, is so needed, but hey, some ppl never get it. Fingers crossed that she doesn't leave this life with a lack of self mastery. And lord not to mention how she speaks of being the bread winner/essentially the provider and head of her relationships. Much inner work to be done. We all need it, but some of us are more active towards this higher elevation and calling than others though.... Thanks for this. 1st time seeing your vids, I'll be bk

Books are filled with a lot of knowledge, but if you don't know how to express that knowledge with others its useless. ❤

I don’t really understand the “Amanda Seales is super smart/intelligent”. How exactly? Can anyone tell me specifically? She has a good command of English? In my world, so do most of my crowd. She said nothing “fresh” or especially smart. I don’t know her but going by this interview, I’m perplexed. She’s condescending and talks down to others. She’s insecure. So what is it?

I felt Sharp was trying to be cool with her by trying to help her see the root of her problems from a different perspective- but she simply could not catch a clue to save her life. She was only prepared to defend herself and didn’t realize that she had a platform and opportunity to set the record straight. And, she did set the record straight - she gave weight to the haters’ claims. Sharp and Amanda were not prepped in a way that guaranteed that she would walk out of this with the type of hype she was looking for. She appears traumatized and is in constant fight or flight mode; almost as if she is crying out for help.

She admitted she was never clinically diagnosed. After the initial interview but during the interview, she was really trying to gaslight all of us by saying she was diagnosed. She’s a liar.

This comment section did not disappoint. I’m so happy to see so many people saw this interview for what it was. I’m someone who really wants to support Amanda but it’s very difficult to do that when she behaves the way she does. I do believe she’s intelligent, just not emotionally intelligent. I’ve yet to ever hear Amanda ever say she was wrong about something, or she could have handled something differently. That’s a huge red flag for me

I think she’d rather be right than happy.

I have often felt misunderstood like Amanda. Everyone is/was the problem. To this day I have to sit back and think about what part I play in the situation. I have felt that I should be able to be blunt, direct and that no one should give me that same energy. I had to look within because everyone was telling me that I can be intimidating. I do need to tone things down. I tone it down and I seem uninterested. I just had to realize that I’m not for everyone. When I enter into others spaces, I stay low key. I no longer share my true thoughts and feelings with everyone. Basically connect with those that understand and appreciate me. Just need to get my businesses on a consistent flow so that I can get off of these peoples payroll. It ain’t easy being this way.

Amanda mentioned her psychiatrist and therapist in the interview… so she definitely has access to healthcare professionals

At first I thought she may have been lying about the autism diagnosis but I gave her the benefit of the doubt (even thouhgh she really skirted his questions surrounding diagnosis)... but the one thing that I could not get past was when she said someone left a Malcolm X quote in her trailer and she thanked the Insecure cast member by calling a specific name- a term of endearment from her perspective- but from his it felt like unwanted name calling ... this part was super telling because she couldn't say my bad and apologize. She had to make a joke of it as well as basically call the actor out and embarass him for expressing a boundary. No matter what if someone doesn't want to be called by a certain name then you owe an apology plain and simple. But the lack of acknowledgement that she was wrong and had such a hard time apologizing made me realize this could be happening a lot. Also just because a person may have traits of autism does not mean that's what it has to be. There could be undiagnosed personality disorders for example that have overlapping presentations.

I appreciate you setting the record straight about the intellect of Shanon. Also, a masters degree doesn’t make you an intellectual person, an expert or a scholar in that field. I thought you’d need to have done something exceptional or remarkable to be an expert or scholar or at least done extensive work in that field.

Amanda was annoying AF to watch in the interview. I had to stop and watch something else after about 1.5 hrs of the interview. You are right though, Amanda took ZERO accountability

Amanda is Ivy League educated and is constantly seeking information. She isnt just pretending to be smart like a lot of these comments suggest.

Growth was one of my biggest takeaway from the interview too. With all the stories she told, her lack of growth as a person really stood out to me. The story of her Sirus radio boss telling her to “keep it corporate” when she tried to “dap him up” was a prime example. I can understand a 21 yo on her first job being surprised by that but it’s weird that she has the exact same perspective at 42. I think most adults know that you are expected to be professional at work and not greet your boss like he’s one of the homies. Same with her being upset the guy on the set of Insecure not wanting to be called the N-word and her being offended that a Black boss made her apologize to him. After all these years she should be able to see that when someone asks you not to refer to them a certain way you should just respect, esp. at work. It’s like Amanda has not fully matured into adulthood. I can’t say she hasn’t done any introspection because she said in one of her videos after the interview that after watching herself with Shannon she can understand why people don’t like her but she is not willing to change. She just sounds like a petulant child.

I really don’t get why everyone thinks she’s so smart asides from her telling us repeatedly … I’m a very well read person, previously an honors student with stem degrees, my husband was also an honors student with an engineering degree and an MBA, I lived in the honors dorms and know a lot of African American overachievers from high school through college and grad school who are MDs , attorneys, engineers, etc. I don’t see where she is so over the top in intellect … she comes across as an average educated person to me ….I’m not getting brilliant… I also don’t think Shannon Sharp’s intellect should be challenged as it has been . I’m wondering if some unconscious bias per his southern accent, anti blackness and featurism is at play.

Kiaundra, this was such an informative and insightful review of the interview. You too are very intelligent, and I love how professional & entertaining you are. Such a good video! 💕

Smart is commen sense, Knowledge is school...she has a lot of knowledge!

She was so annoying and condescending to Shannon. Amanda seems like a tough person to get along with in any capacity.

I ❤your perspective because it’s sometimes difficult to find the positive in a person and at the same time you acknowledge having accountability about how you show up in the room. You gave her an overwhelming amount of positive feedback that I didn’t see and that helped me to see I need work.

Great review! I love to see those of us from Compton being successful and thriving. Looking forward to seeing more of your content.

I completely appreciate your analysis of this interview 🙏🏾

I could be wrong, but Amanda seems to deal with impulsiveness. I don't get narcissistic, but rather, it really feels like gaslighting towards her that makes her appear crazy but Amanda is not crazy. My heart goes out to her.

Loved this! I agree 10000% with your observations & commentary.

I remember watching her on a yacht party (thrown by Issa) a few years ago with several other celebrities. She was recording on her phone in selfie mode and approaching different people, was really hyped up, singing, dancing and trying to rally everyone to swag surf or whatever. I remember Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade were standing away from the fray enjoying themselves and she was filming them in selfie mode. They participated but you could see from their body language that they had had enough and she didn't appear to pick up on that soon enough. As someone who can be socially awkward at times myself it was cringe to watch, she just kept going from group to group in an attempt to be the "party starter"

Anyone who CLAIMS a medical diagnosis based on symptoms vs. a proven clinical diagnosis determined using valid medical instruments conducted by a licensed medical professional does not have the right to claim that diagnosis. Furthermore, to lie about being clinically diagnosed with autism is despicable and screams desperation. She is using this baseless and gratuitous self-diagnosis as an EXCUSE for her highly publicized negative behavior. Millions of adults and children are suffering because of autism. She owes them an APOLOGY. The outfit she wore represents her mindset...busy and all over the place. Lastly, you could tell Shannon was not fond of her. Her poor attempt to initially appear complacent to his assumptions was eating her alive.

I am not a big Amanda Seales fan but as I listened to what she was saying her childhood experiences were I saw a lot of my own experiences. It caused me to go and find the autism test and what did I find out... I am more than likely on the spectrum as well.

Wonderful, informative, educational --- and entertaining perspective . . . 👍

Thank you for breaking this down in such an objective and judicious manner! I was also thrown off by the first 20 min of the interview and needed to step away but def gonna watch the whole thing now that you’ve summarized it all so helpfully :)

I enjoyed hearing your perspective and can appreciate what you're doing here. I actually agreed with all of your points, but my initial reason for commenting is that I love how interactive you are on your channel. I know that can sometimes be time-consuming, but that really shows intention. Best Regards! 👌🏾

Fantastic overview. 👏🏾

I am a fan of Shannon Sharpe's Club Shay Shay. I watched his podcast before Katt William's. I have watched most of them. Amanda's probably has been problematic, considering she has bashed him royally after asking to be on His show. I had never really heard of Amanda except thru controversial "problematic" clips and being on the breakdast club. I watched more than half of the interview. I thought it was good. I thought both Shannon and Amanda were both resilient through the difficult parts. Now, Amanda states she didn't feel safe. Why didn't she leave than? Shannon is respectful and wouldn't have continued on against her will. It was weird and toxic to bash him after a 3 hour interview. Amanda appears smart. Anyone can use big words and enlarge their vocabulary all the time. ie Tip TI Harris does it all the time. What does smart mean when you can't introspect, apologize, accept accountability, blame everyone else, hostility, rude and struggle with basic conversation and interpersonal skills??? Amanda may be on the autism spectrum but she is on the narc spectrum as well playing word salad and semantics to justify her not being clinically diagnosed. Her behavior during and after this interview probably didn't do anything for future invites into "black spaces."

First time watching. Im glad i found your page.

You did a phenomenal job Kiaundra! ❤

I believe you were correct in your assessment of her background. Amanda's mother and the other authorities in her life enabled her constantly with little pushback; add to her being a child star and all, her ego was never checked. I will say that Amanda has been very smart about her own PR. Your assessment about her Autism is correct as it is her final trump card in order to keep herself relevant. By latching onto a mental issue like Autism, she knows that very few people can be critical of her without her pushing back by claiming they're judging her mental illness, which will cause everyone else with mental issues to come out of the woodwork to support her. I raised an Autistic daughter who is an adult now and volunteered in Occupational Therapy years ago, which brought me into contact with a number of kids with different mental disorders besides my own. I can say in my unprofessional opinion, but just experience, that Amanda isn't autistic or remotely off or behaves in any way like some of the Autistic savants I have and/or currently work with. I would say that maybe she falls into the area of BPD or HPD, if anything, with Narcissism thrown in. It is well known that these disorders are virtually untreatable because, as exhibited by Amanda, she doesn't see herself as the problem, everyone else has a problem with her. She uses a lot of new age psychobabble to support her belief that she is an intelligent, strong black woman, she has a duty to be true and honest at all times without any barriers, while it is the burden of everyone else to figure out how to properly deal with her, which is part of her current campaign in "schooling" people on her Autism. She promotes, "I do this, so you need to let me do this and treat me like this and have my back." If you say, "But Amanda, you said something to hurt my feelings." Amanda says, "That's just my Autism, I can't help it and you need to understand that and if you don't, you're being mean to me." If you are in her space and give her any pushback against anything she says, she will deem you an enemy. If you give her 20 compliments, but one criticism, she will narrow in on the criticism and it will be at the forefront of her experience with you. Unless a person is her complete follower, never questioning and always supporting, you can't be in her circle. I suspect there's no arguing with her or pushing back against her at all and if you remain silent, she will take that as a win and that she has successfully dominated you. I feel sorry for any therapist she does have because it's probably just her rattling off story after story, her assessment of herself and how the other people should have let her do this or that. She really isn't that hard to figure out or misunderstand. Being in the entertainment industry and around a lot of creatives, there are a lot of Amandas out there, sadly.

I think that for all of Amanda's self-confidence, self-esteem, self-value she is sorely lacking in self-awareness. I almost feel bad for her because she REALLY DOESN'T see her part in any of the things she's found herself in. In the Shannon interview at one point you could see her thinking "Dang, not him too". I think she went there anticipating being understood and him being on her side and when that didn't happen she felt let down by the world yet again I think. She's mentioned before that her therapist told her she's un-fuckwith-able and ever since then I've wondered if her therapist is doing more harm than good by co-signing everything she says. Which, I suppose, with someone like Amanda you have to do to keep them as a client. Once you try to get her to accept some accountability, I imagine she decides you're just like everyone else and moves on to the next. I do actually feel bad for her 🤷🏾‍♀️

Thank you!!! I completely agree with your assessment, especially about the lack of accountability from Amanda Seales. Enjoyed watching you, my first time, and now subscribing! Stay blessed ❤

Thank you for this different perspective. I learned a lot about MYSELF although this want about me. I'm grateful and glad I watched. God bless. 🙏🏾✨

If it wasn’t for Shannon we would have never known that she had not been diagnosed because that’s how she presented the information. Shannon maybe country but he was very smart and held is own with this woman of many words lol.

I gotta disagree with your assessment of the first 25 mins……Shannon was clearly providing her a platform to express herself, and she took every opportunity to belittle and demean that man, the same way she does with EVERYBODY!!!! Furthermore, using too many words is not smart…..he’s smart enough to make millions talking on Facebook, while Amanda can’t talk on daytime tv w/o making enemies…….🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️

I thoroughly enjoyed your take on this interview. I'm gonna go'head and subscribe right quick.

Your skin is on complete glow and giving everything it needs to. I enjoyed the breakdown and I love the knuck if you buck portion of your introduction to this video lol!

5:18 I could not watch the interview past 25 minutes, she was condescending and combative. It was so cringe to watch their exchange.

As soon as you said she’s intelligent I hit you with the side eye 😂

You go girl 🎉very glad to have stumbled upon your channel

I love everything you was talking about but as soon as I heard “I grew up in Compton” I had to subscribe!! Lol I’m from Compton as well! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

Amanda Seales is the definition of a victim. It has nothing to do with her intellect or intelligence. She uses that to degrade and make other people feel small because she feels like nobody is more realer than her and she can’t be challenged. I noticed her behavior back on the Real with how she use to talk condescendingly to those women. Everybody is a problem but her. From her teacher, to Issa Rae, it’s always somebody else. She’s an exhausting person to be around. I appreciate your perspective on the topic. This video was so good.

Finally an objective assessment. You better be careful or she gonna come after you too😂

I love what you doing with your degree. I def subbed ❤

I appreciate this video so much!! I agree on all of your points. I hope Amanda finds this so she can see how others view the lack of accountability shown! She presents as a critical thinker on her personal platform with current events so I’m hopeful she will grow in her accountability.

Amanda is a habitual spoiled brat.

Great commentary👌🏽New subbie

Done came across this page, and WOW! What a find! Girl, we friends in my head now! The tea is flowing 😊

I love this! I think you were very objective and I didn't hear any bias in your explanation. BRAVO! Subscribed, I appreciate your professionalism and the fact that you are from Compton #detroitgirl over here. Be well

I love this video, great teaching points. Do you mind doing a video on techniques of being more self-reflecting? How does one go about self reflection? Also, book recommendations if any would really help. Love to you

🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 Apologies but you lost me at "Amanda Seales is so freekin smart!"

👋🏾New Sub here🎊 ~you randomly popped up in my feed and I was intrigued on hearing a professional perspective. I share the same thoughts but whew chile she’s exhausting. Thanks for the breakdown👏🏾

Subscribed immediately. I love your perspective! I too am an LPC in Oklahoma & Texas. You do the field a service by informing your audience of the clinical perspective. And what's practical and not.

The definition of Intelligence is the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills. She has shown a great ability to acquire knowledge but she has also demonstrated that in some ways she lacks the ability to apply that knowledge. I noticed during the interview she mentioned the 48 Laws of Power. It is clear that she is familiar with the information but she lacked the ability to apply it. She tried to use methods taught in the book to gain control of the situation, but she came off as very deceptive, manipulative and sometimes rude. That’s the opposite of what the book teaches.

I watched 40 minutes of that nonsense. It was enough to determine that She came to fight, but found an unworthy adversary and as such the interview failed and she preceded to talk about things that were basically gossip. One day she’ll meet someone who knows that just cuz you read the book doesn’t mean you know the story!

I agree with your observation! You made me look at it in a different way!! Accountability 😊

Great review

I'm surprised Shannon didn't take more shots during this interview.

The reason I say Amanda is a megalomaniac is throughout the interview she could care less about the “other side” of the situation. The other people didn’t matter. When Shannon asked a clear known fact that we were raised not to question adults, especially not teachers in their class, she totally dismissed the teachers authority and perspective. She doesn’t let anyone else breathe around her. There are always two sides to every story and then there is the truth.

Great take! I love Amanda and, at the same time, I was waiting for her accountability the whole interview and it didn't come. Also I'm also from Compton. Instant follow. ❤

Great breakdown on this episode. I really enjoyed Amanda's overall transparency on the show but I agree improving her self-awareness could be beneficial. But she isn't alone bc I am ready to self-reflect to improve as well.

I thought this video would be more abound analyzing or breaking down moves/defenses & tones but much love to you & your channel from a Licensed Social Worker. She is smart but seems to have some ptsd & childhood trauma around rejection/protection. She needs to heal & also work on self-awareness to stop projecting all over the place. This screams "Why did dad leave me... for no reason?" I'll pray for her & her mental health.

Ohh forgot to mention very good breakdown💯 And i appreciate the fact you didnt bash Shannon and scope low and proclaim he isn't intelligent I RESPECT THAT👏🏾 BECAUSE that's basically wat she did, just another example why people dont find her likeable🤦🏾 Keep up the good work Queen Just Subscribe🙌🏾

Subscribing now…this information is so good.

Thank you for being impartial. I've seen several channels calling essentially calling Unc stupid, and saying that was the reason there were so many issues in the interview

I think you are spot on. What I got from this interview was that she is always the victim and that she cannot be corrected or even asked a question without it being an insult. All Shannon did was ask her a question, playing devils advocate about the teacher (Which we all know is common sense. No child should be correcting an adult, especially one in a position of authority) and she took that as him being on the teachers side. It’s like once she has a thought or concept in her head, that’s it. She cannot be corrected or questioned. This is the area where she keep’s running into problems. This is Narcissism not Autism. Second, black folks need to stop being so impressed with people for using words they don’t understand or use in everyday life. That is not a sign of genius, it’s education.

It seems Amanda thinks she is the smartest or one of the smartest people in the room. When Shannon offered a different perspective on the teacher and also when he asked about that diagnosis she realized he was smarter than she thought he was and she didn’t like it. Shannon is smart and emotionally intelligent too. That was the disconnect. Her usual ways to cope were not effective on Shannon.

Excellent break down Doc

Great breakdown 🎉

Well said….especially on the accountability part. She has the talent to get through the door, but some of her actions can’t keep her in the room for a long time.

I can look in the DSM5 all day and will see pieces of myself in everything in there....smh. Doesnt mean that it defines who I am....and I have an LMSW and have done per diem therapy in. MH clinic

IS COMPTON IN THE HOUSE?! lol Very good review Ms. Jackson ;)

Just want to say Thank You... 😊🖐🏾

Thank you for acknowledging her intellect. She is brilliant actually

Your sweater is EVERYTHING! So cute! I can't wait to hear you take on the interview.

Your perspective just validated mine🙏🏽#NewSubscriber
