Liza Soberano, may inamin tungkol sa tunay na kalagayan ng kanyang mental health

Liza Soberano and Yassi Pressman are two of the most sought after celebrities in the entertainment industry.

Mental health is one of the most complex topics that everyone should be open to talk about. However, instead of being open minded about such topic, people tend to refuse to listen just because they believe that it’s all just in the mind and such disorders don’t really exist.

Apparently, it does exist and people should start taking care of thier mental health.

Slowly, people are starting to open up about their experiences and sufferings involving their mental health. However, the stigma still exists and so they always end up getting called “crazy”.

Liza Soberano is one of the celebrities who has been speaking and advocating about mental health awareness. The other half of LizQuen is known for being the celebrity who helps those who suffer from mental health disorders by sharing her experiences.

Just recently, Liza Soberano started her own podcast called “An Open Mind,” where she discusses different issues about mental health. Among the topics discussed were about stress, anxiety, and depression.

On Instagram, Liza expressed how excited she is for this podcast and even stated that this is her stepping out of her comfort zone.

Her post reads, “I’m so excited for the big, big plans I have in store for the year. Jump starting mine by exploring way beyond my comfort zone. Tonight at 6 pm I will debut in my first ever podcast called An Open Mind with me, Liza Soberano as your host.”

Liza also mentioned that it was Yassi Pressman who had introduced her to the people behind the Mind You Health System.

“I immediately knew I wanted to be involved. The past two years has really shined some light on the importance of prioritizing our mental wellness. It’s time to have honest, unfiltered conversations — without the stigma,” Liza said.

On the podcast’s first episode, Liza was with Yassi Pressman and they talked about the “imposter syndrome”. Aside from the Imposter Syndrome, they also talked about the challenges they had encountered in their lives as young celebrities.

The podcast started with the hosts talking about their Myers-Briggs Type Indicator personality type test.

“When I was taking the test I felt kind of weird about answering each question. I felt like I was being untrue with myself, for some reason.

“I feel like I’m so used to other people telling me who I am and how I should act that, it kind of conditioned me to think that way,” Liza narrated.

Meanwhile, Yassi Pressman shared the pain she experienced when her father passed away last year.

“It’s funny because I also invested in Mind You around March. Probably because it was one of the hardest times of my life and I didn’t know who to talk to,” sabi ni Yassi. Ang tinutukoy niyang Mind You ay ang mental health platform na sinimulan nila ni Liza at ni Nadine Lustre nitong nagdaang taon.

“I read more about how to handle panic and anxiety attacks. Like how to breathe and how to tap parts of your body. It would get really bad sometimes to the point of where it’s normal for your muscles to be tense,” Yassi shared.

On top of that, Yassi also shared her worst anxiety attack where she felt like she was going to have a stroke because of the paralysis she felt.

“I felt like I was gonna have a stroke. I couldn’t move my fingers, then it was my arms because I was so tired from shouting and letting everything out crying.

“My lungs were tired, my legs couldn’t move and my stomach was so tight. I was scared, I was really scared but now that I know that that happens I can handle my breathing better and I can not panic anymore and be like ‘it’s normal, and it will pass,’” Yassi added.

Meanwhile, Liza Soberano admitted that she also experienced having anxiety attacks and when that happens, her body shakes endlessly.

“I’m a people pleaser to a fault. I feel like if I say no to somebody, they’re gonna hate me and that I’m worthless. It’s a battle that constantly goes on in my mind.” Liza mentioned

Aside from anxiety attacks, Yassi Pressman also shared that she had imposter syndrome and it all started when she played the role of Alyana in Ang Probinsyano.

“Nagulat lang ako. Why me, of all people to be given this huge opportunity? To the point na hindi ako makapaniwala. Kaya ko ba? Will I disappoint people? Will I be enough? Malulunod ka rin sa laki ng project, eh,” Yassi explained.

Aside from Yassi Pressman, other celebrities like Enrique Gil, Cristine Reyes, and Gab Valenciano also joined the podcast. “An Open Mind” podcast is aired on Spotify, Apple podcasts, and other digital platforms.
