Part Two: Yale Psychiatrist on the Science of Manifestation, The Truth of Your Intuition, Reconnecting to our Souls and Why Mental Health Needs Spirituality! | Dr. Anna Yusim

What if everything you’ve been told about spirituality and mental health is wrong?

In this powerful episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Dr. Anna Yusim—Clinical Assistant Professor at Yale Medical School, co-founder of the Yale Mental Health & Spirituality Program, and author of Fulfilled: How the Science of Spirituality Can Help You Live a Happier, More Meaningful Life—reveals the biggest misconception about spirituality and why it’s not about religion, “good vibes,” or blind belief…it’s about science, psychology, and lived experience.

Dr. Yusim explains how connection to a higher power can measurably improve mental and physical health, how to have authentic spiritual experiences without religion, and the two ways to manifest—including which one actually works (and which one most people get wrong).

Dr. Yusim also breaks down:

- How spirituality, meditation, and manifestation can change your physiology, mood, & nervous system

- What it really means to raise your frequency & how to do it in real life

- Unconscious reprogramming: what it is and how to use it to break old patterns

- Why surrender opens the door to creative solutions

- How to overcome victim mentality while balancing personal responsibility & external circumstances

- Breaking intergenerational cycles of self-sabotage using family constellation therapy

- How to tell when family conflict can be healed, and when boundaries are necessary

- How to protect yourself from energy vampires

Dr. Yusim also explores the mystical edges of psychology, and where science draws the line:

- 3 types of intuition and 4 intuitive pathways for receiving extrasensory information

- Similarities and differences between psychics and schizophrenia, and how information is received in each case

- Whether telepathy is heightened intuition, if anyone can access it (& whether they should)

- Where spiritual practices fit inside a Western psychiatric model

- How she clinically distinguishes between healthy intuitive experiences & serious mental health conditions that require treatment

We also discuss:

- How after-death communication through psychic mediums can help people process grief (and when it becomes unhealthy)

- Crown Reading vs Third Eye Reading

- Whether everyone has spirit guides or guardian angels, and how to navigate conflicting messages

- Dr. Yusim’s personal journey with claircognizance and the psychic reading that shifted her life path

- Karmic patterns and the soul’s repeating lessons

- How to tap into your Higher Self

- 3 universal truths found across all spiritual and religious traditions

- How psychedelics help process trauma from a psychiatric perspective

- Why the Law of Attraction may not be working for you

- Why some people can train themselves to hold their breath for extraordinary lengths of time

This episode is the bread & butter of MBB, bridging psychiatry, spirituality, intuition, trauma, and healing, without bypassing science or mental health!
