What are you getting from this song?
Acceptance of where I am in life, not feeling so alone, inspired to be more truthful with my feelings.
Even when this is a song about terrible years and suffering, the over all feeling is Acceptance, healing and HOPE
I've never cried so much as an adult since hearing ren 🇬🇧😊
That's amazing
Hope & inspiration ❤ as someone that hasn't had clear answers the past 10 year's & currently going through lot's of tests 🖤 definitely feel less alone 💗
I highly recommend his 1 million subscriber speech! There's a lot of information in it, as well as mental health awareness because you're not wrong... physical health can and does go hand in hand with mental health! I lost my little brother to su*cide and Ren has been a beacon of light for my grief process... starting with that speech. This was an incredible breakdown and outside of his 8 part story, that speech lets you know who he is and what he stands for, it really does change the way I hear his music.
2nd this!!
Yess 👆🏽, the 1 million suscriber speech just show’s you why is it that Ren is so loved by his fans, he is such a genuine guy
😢sorry about your brother.
I think that'll be my next video reacting to him
@@Therapy2Day Can't wait! I watch every reaction to that speech I can! I even watch it when I'm just having "a day" ENJOY!
PS... Hes Much More than just a rapper! Trust the stranger on the interweb... he has more layers than an onion... for real!
I think that "Ren is a rapper" is an undervaluing statement. :) Ren is an artist.
He doesn’t know yet what he’s gotten himself into 😅
Ren, the Fireproof Bard
Lol I think he can survive being mischaracterized by accident by a small time UA-camr
@@Therapy2Day but it isn’t a mischaracterization. He is a rapper. He is also so much more. You just haven’t yet experienced it all. I hope you do. Ren helps humanity communicate shared experiences through music.
@@aimees6090 Yeah, well, Prince was a rapper too. It's the "so much more" - there is a shit ton of people out there who swear "I don't like rap" and stick to it no matter what. I like to bring EVERYBODY in. :)
❤❤❤❤ thank you for taking the time to check or ren and his music, your insight on what he talks about is very appreciated. Dont mind the people trying to "gate keep" on him and his music, they're weird af and continue to disparage anyone who doesnt do or say what they expect you to say or react how they expect you to react. Ren would appreciate and have mad respect for your time and talent being used in an analysis of his music and helping to push more understanding about different conditions and ailments. :) ❤
Thanks for your support and watching the reaction. I get there are probably people in any community who feel protective and want to make sure people who are there are legit
Thank you for doing a reaction to this song.
He released a series of 8 chapters narrating his timeline and experiences with the illness.
After the 8 chapters he released this song
Cool, some people told me to check on the ren makes stuff channel for that
@@Therapy2Day Yes, that's correct.
@@LorenzoFrausto sounds good
Ren's psychosis was triggered by an immune reaction to a fecal transplant treatment. Extreme pain plus the bitterness of yet another failed treatment,sent him spiraling . A course of penicillin that he sought out by himself is what brought him back enough and gave him the clues to finally get the Lyme disease diagnosis after 7 years. He also has MCAS and POTS which the stem cells made worse, but they still saved his life.
This 💯
Thanks for the background!
@Therapy2Day it's all in his 8 chapters... located in his Troubles playlist! I think you'll be blown away at what he went thru!!!
I would not react to the Missing Chapters on the RenMakesStuf in UA-cam (8 at the moment) but I would recommend watching for more context of what Ren has been through. These chapters are personal diary and recall of what Ren went through. Only reason Ren is sharing these stories is to help others.
@@Jason_xofilos Zackly!!!
Ren fans are super protective, which is funny because Ren is probably one of the strongest people out there. What I get from Ren is just don't quit. No matter how bad, no matter how hard, don't quit. His music was a real comfort to me after my parents died. It was having someone express the pain I didn't know how to speak. Sometimes you need to cry (and Ren can make that happen) but then he'll put out something that makes you snort laugh. He's a treasure.
I'm guessing early on in these interactions that people see a lot of themselves in him, so any potential misunderstanding or insult feels very personal.
The “Nineteen, young teen, Waking up bitten, posters up, manhunt, Ren went missing” really hit, cause that’s the moment his life changed
👍
The music makes it hit harder too, the snare hit really emphasizes it, he is so so SO in the pocket there
@@tplouffe9226I love learning about how the musicality affects the takeaway. I know that stuff is there..just don't have the info to articulate it..
Yes! The writer/educator in me immed wants to throw out discussion ques to an invisible grp asking 'How have MH struggles made us personally a 'missing person' from life, where our own fam/friends probably wanted to create a missing persons poster for us?' It's that kinda application that makes authentic art so worth it, imo..
@@Oohthehumanity I wish there were more reactors who look into the music a bit more, Ren's music is FILLED with a lot of little details, it feels like everytime i listen to a song, I hear something new. Thats a perk of making his own beats, he can make adjustments anywhere he wants, as someone who also writes music, it is like pure ear candy to hear
Thank you for this reaction. I think it is wonderful that health and mental health professionals are reacting to Ren. "The struggle is real."
I agree
I do hope more in my field listen, because it helps to put into words and images what a lot of our clients are trying to share
Now you need to hear Ren sing. He can SANG. Check out Ren & Chinchilla "Chalk Outlines" the live version.
Yep..this 💯
Cool!
Just so you know, Ren always has his lyrics Pinned in the comments below his videos. Sometimes it is hard to catch everything the first time over but having those lyrics there can really help sometimes. I know that personally I never can catch all the lyrics because sometimes it can be hard to understand what he's saying exactly.
I'm still trying to figure out the technology to be able to screen record and look at the lyrics in another tab 😅
@@Therapy2Day go old school, copy and paste to word document and print it out
in another video you asked the value of reacting without watching first
my take: reacting to a pop song, yeah first watch reaction probably the way to go
but videos with some depth, important lyrics and context should be watched first then discussed
Ren has blown me away. Hi REN “I shouted out into an empty room and he would defeat the forces of evil “ the next 10 years he suffered the consequences. At the end of hi Ren “II go by many names also people know me as HOPE I am the voice that you hear when you loosen the noose of the Rope” Ren is an Earth Angel bringing together millions and giving them hope!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
It is a pretty inspiring song
For those who haven't yet... ya Gotta watch his story... all 8 chapters! (Must watch his life story, in 8 chapters, in his Troubles playlist!) He explains in detail almost every line!
His lyrics are Truly His Story... one line in Seven Sins... clawed at the laminate... I mean Come On Man!!!
Ŕeally good reaction and understanding of what Ren is trying to express and the positive effect he's achieving. I think you must be excellent therapist for your patients ❤
That's very kind of you to say. I'm glad to share these videos and experiences with you all
You should definitely check out ren chapters it tell a lot about what he has been through 😊
I think I just might
Rapper, singer, writer, director, producer, plays guitar, piano, bass, drums and all at the highest level.
Really cool
I loved your reaction, advice & most of all the compassion that you exude. I HIGHLY recommend you react to a series of videos that Ren has created, they consists of 8 chapters that range from 10 - 20 minutes each. This is an autobiography written and read by Ren on camera (artistically showcased) that details the full 7 year journey of his struggle. Each chapter includes one of his music video's that compliments the chapter you just finished. As I stated earlier the chapters run 10 - 15 minutes, the last chapter #8 being close to the 20 minute mark and they all have a music video included at the end that enhances the chapter just watched. Even if you don't want to react to these chapters on camera they are an incredible and informative series that you; as a doctor & mental health specialist, will find invaluable in understanding Ren the artist. Thank you for diving into Ren's artistry and I look forward to watching more of your reactions. Cheers
I'll definitely react to more, though I don't know that I can make a video for each of his 8 chapters. Appreciate you watching and being here, just want to clarify that I'm not a doctor. I haven't earned that title 😊
He’s an incredible singer as well. Check out some of the big push if you’re also a musician! ❤
Thank you so much for your support of the channel! Big push? That's not something I'm familiar with.
@@Therapy2Day Big Push is the band that Ren was a part of, before he had to (temporarily) move to Calgary for treatment.
@@Therapy2Day The Big Push just to clarify. Great day all.
@@DanielLarsson01 thanks for the info!
I Highly Recommend ya doing his Jenny and Screech trilogy! The 13 plus minute video has All three... Jenny, Screech, and Violets tales... in order!
Do Not watch it first, or read the lyrics! Youll see why i ask that afterwards! Lol
Lol if I get to reacting to those, it'll be a first time listen
@Therapy2Day It three tales, made fae apart, but they all connect! And the story is difficult to say the least! Ren did them to get attention on Domestic Violence and Generational trauma!
Pay attention to the story... it all connects with a Wild ending!
It's worth having a first time reaction!!!
Ren had a physical condition that was misdiagnosed and treated as a mental condition.
Biggest problem with medical professionals is: They treat the symptoms not the cause.
Absolutely a frustrating piece for many people.
thank you! finally somebody gets it. when you have fibromyalgia the only difference between one day and the next is the level of pain. the levels may differ there most assuredly will be pain. also, i came to exactly the same conclusion regarding its existence or lack thereof. i honestly don't believe it does exist which is really ironic given that it took me roughly a decade of constant struggle to get any doctor at all to provide me with a diagnosis of fibromyalgia. i have come to believe that it is a catchall diagnosis for a bunch of conditions that doctors can't identify. and if there's something a doctor abhors more than anything, its a thing that hasn't been put into a box!
hello fellow fm sufferer. i agree with your conclusions about drs and stuff. it's all about the money to the majority of them. hang in there, love!!!!! 🙃
It's a tough situation where the doctor doesn't get paid by insurance if he/she can't diagnose something (because then there's no justification for the treatment), but then there's not really a consistent treatment either, at least that I've heard of
Thanks for sharing your insights! ❤Don't worry about having to know 100% of his music. His music has a lot of relisten value, as stated earlier he has the lyrics available in the description
Pausing before the song starts to say this: mental health IS physical health. ❤
Both impact each other
The musical background is by a gospel singer that gave comfort toREN’s spiritual growth. Her music is wonderful. Your task is to find mucial reference. Clue found somewhere in chapters 1-8 Missing.
Very cool
It’s so weird seeing a reactor go straight from “Hi Ren” to “Troubles” but…I think they’re really both such important songs. Ren probably saved my life…and I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one. From a psychiatric stand point, I would say the list of songs to go through would be “Sick Boi” “Chalk Outlines” “Insomnia” “Suicide” “How To Be Me” “Hold On” “Pocket Full of Pain” and “Blind Eyed.” He has a lot of tracks that touch on what he’s been through and his philosophy on life and mental health, but those are all heavily invested in those topics. Digging your reactions, so I just subbed. Keep it up.
Thanks for the support! It just so happened that troubles came out so recently, so it made sense to see what he did there. I'll probably be going through some more as well
I would strongly suggest you watch and recommend to your clients his Chapters 1-8 on his second channel Renmakesstuff. He's a masterful storyteller and he goes through his whole sickness with us. Thank you for your reaction. Some great mh songs would be How To Be Me, Crutch, Penitence,or Dominoes.
Excellent suggestion 🔥
Appreciate you reacting to Ren. He’s awesome. I hope you continue to discover his art.
I plan to keep exploring!
Thank you 🖤 Therapy ToDay 🤍 for your 🐷 Ren - Troubles reaction! #ren #verahall #troublesohard #troubles #slaughterhouse #calgary
Thanks for watching!
The week leading up to this release of the track Ren on @renmakesstuff as part of ME awareness month he told his story in 8 parts and then this dropped on his main channel.
I was wondering where to find the lead up stuff because it wasn't on his main
@@Therapy2Day it's on Renmakesstuff which has content subsidiary to the music. The whole experience was to hear a new part of the story leading up to this drop. That was also true with Money Game which had a week of puzzles to solve leading up to the release.
@@Therapy2Day it's on his second channel, Ren Makes Stuff.
hello dear!! i've learned more from ren about coping with pain/crazy, than i have anywhere else in my 72 yrs. not for lack of trying, you couldn't fit all the professionals i've seen in my life in this mobile home. at age 71, a former shrink confirmed the asd late diag, wtf!!!!!!!!!!! as a hippie, self medicating wasn't a problem. drugs are not the answer, but i couldn't find out what was. but god!!! but the pains are still real, self med is still what i'm about. stay the fight, y'all!!!!!!!! kathleen 🙃 (just for context, i was officially diag with major depression at age 15, as agoraphobic at age 26, fibromyalgia at 30 something) and with sensory overload always on high alert, i have gotten mad about something and felt pain in my limbs at that same instant. this is tmi, but maybe it is helpful??? 🙃
Not tmi, I really do appreciate people sharing their stories on this channel. It's amazing how we can support and care for each other
Ren is a singer/song writer, storyteller who just happens to also love to rap
Fair enough
#ren #troubles #verahall #lymedisease❣️
Ren is our inspirational angel of hope 💗
The 8 chapter he done on his Ren makes stuff page gives you a deeper understanding of all he's been through, it's a rollercoaster of emotions. Massive respect & love to him 💗
It's clear he puts a lot of thought into his creations
@@Therapy2Day absolutely 💯
Loved your reaction - intelligent & thoughtful. The video was filmed in Calgary, Alberta where he has been receiving medical treatment for the last 18 months. The individual locations have no special personal meaning for him. He and his videographer just drove around looking for places that would look good in the video. However, and I think you are the first reactor who I have heard suggest this, the constant changing of locations in the video may indeed reflect a disjointed view of reality. The vocal sample is from "Trouble so hard" by Vera Hall. Ren has played with the sample using filters and has added his own beat and guitar. I love the track. Thanks for your reaction - liked & subscribed
Very cool background info on where the sample and locations come from. Appreciate your support!
I don't know if it's the same in US, I'm in Canada. But as a fibromyalgia patient, here. I feel we become almost lab rats. Genetic testing , shock treatment, among a pharmacy of meds. Have all been suggested and mostly attempted. And people wonder why, PTSD, trauma response aniexty and depression are common?
I've heard much the same, since there's a lack of research, doctors and patients are stuck experimenting in real time, just because it's so individual as well, that some things work and some don't, but no way to tell until you try
Thank you for reacting to Ren. I’ve been suffering from Fibromyalgia since 2001. Most of the doctors I saw during those first years didn’t even believe Fibromyalgia was real. Your patient’s description of it was spot on. I used to be so angry that my life was being ripped apart and taken from me, while many looked at me as a lazy malingerer. I’m now in my 50s. I’ve learned to appreciate what I do have and although my life has become pretty small, I love it. I am so thankful that Ren is putting a spotlight on these hidden conditions. I guess it’s just human nature to not understand what you, yourself has not experienced. Anyway, thank you again for spotlighting Ren and his message!
Learning a little bit about fibromyalgia was so alarming and scary. It's hard to wrap our heads around the fact that we don't have all the medical answers yet
The high school kid...have him checked for chemical allergies. I personally suffer from them and a friend's son does also and he had a terrible time in school due to all the perfumes and colognes that were being worn by other students
That's an interesting thought!
For REN, this was truly his reality. Acute Transverse Myelitis], Ptosis], Seizures, and Chronic Fatigue] and these symptoms can be often misdiagnosed or deemed psychosomatic. Second is dealing with the symptoms of Lyme neuroborreliosis, these neurological symptoms often leave patients feeling drained and debilitated as they begin losing their quality of life. Over time, patients find themselves unable to do the things they love as they struggle to get ahead of their progressing symptoms.
Absolutely it can be debilitating and leave you not feeling like yourself anymore
So. I'm a 68yo retired Drug/Alcohol Abuse Therapist, and enjoyed your perspective so much that I subscribed! The majority of my practice was spent during active duty with the USAF where I had the opportunity to travel the world, and counsel a wide range of ethnic and socioeconomic groups. All that being said the other artist that has had the most impact on me is #NF! The reason #REN speaks so much to me, along with NF, is because I suffer from chronic low back pain and Neuropathy (no, I don't have Diabetes). And my life the last two years has been consumed with the exact struggles REN is addressing in this song. I really don't know what I would do if I didn't have my therapeutic 😮 resources to draw upon to make sense of my troubles... Great job!👏🏻 I'll be back! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 13:59
Thanks for sharing! I listen to a lot of NF, and maybe it's time I started doing some reactions to his stuff
With great power comes great responsibility, and Ren is truly a hero! He is using his growing powers and platform for so much more than simply creating brilliant music. Ren has said that he always had this feeling that he was meant to change the world for the better. So much that he defiantly yelled a challenge to evil into an empty room. And then he got sick…
Ren has now shared the full story of his health journey in 8 video chapters leading up to the release of this song and what a journey it has been. If anyone hasn’t already watched them, I highly recommend you do. With all the chapters he is showing immense strength in sharing his story that is so hard to tell, being vulnerable and telling it because he hopes it will help others and raise awareness. And here he is with another rendition of that story, now told through music with a fire beat and delivering a message of hope. A beautiful hero that the world needs ❤
Oh and Ren is so much more than a rapper. It isn’t even his main skill 😅 Continue down the rabbit hole and get your mind blown 🐰🕳️
I think it's important that he shares the process instead of just the finished product of himself at the other side, but also the weakness and struggle he experienced along the way
@Therapy2Day I'm enjoying your discovery of Ren enormously. You're not the only mental health professional reacting to his videos-- I know of a half-dozen just off the top of my head-- but as far as I can remember, you're the only one to bring in concepts from Jung and Buddhism, both of which I believe are super helpful for analyzing Ren's work. FWIW, Ren has repeatedly said that he's not overtly religious, but has stopped short of saying that he's an atheist. He has also said that he finds religious symbolism-- particularly Christian symbolism, since it's what he knows best-- to be very powerful, which is one reason it shows up so often in his music. Without hearing this from the man himself, I think it would be very natural to conclude that he's a "go to church every Sunday and say your prayers every night" sort of person, which apparently just isn't the case-- though Ren has given no indication that he'd look down on anyone who did believe and live like that.
I strongly suggest watching "Sick Boi", either as a reaction or just for your own edification. The two videos, "Hi Ren" and "Sick Boi", are sort of the Rosetta Stone of Ren; they cover most of his background and many of the concepts he returns to over and over again. "Sick Boi" may be less necessary than it was until he released "Troubles" a few days ago, because until then it was the only video that gave a solid grounding in the illness related part of his inspiration-- otherwise, one needed to read some of his prose (usually as the first comment in the UA-cam comment section of his videos) to get that information.
He has so many great songs that it seems like a Herculean task to only recommend a few, but coming at it from the therapist angle, I would think "Su!cide", "Seven Sins", and one of his duets with Chinchilla, "How to be Me", are all can't-miss songs, that are deeply enjoyable musically, but also are guaranteed to provide ample material to stimulate therapeutic observations. If you ever decide to stray a bit from the therapy-focus, songs like "Illest of our Time", "Animal Flow", "Losing It, and "Murderer" are fun and intriguing and feature some absolutely sick bars, but they're more Ren having fun and participating in pop culture than confessionals or inspirational.
I don't mind listening to rap just for the enjoyment of it but I do appreciate your recommendations for the more introspective focused ones. Thanks for the background info as well, it's much appreciated
Ren can say it with conviction in the same way that a former addict can say it to someone in active addiction. How or why someone got there becomes irrelevant ( what’s the benefit of disability) ; it’s climbing out of it that matters. In both cases it’s never linear and it’s often one step forward and two, three , ten steps back until that one step forward is the one step that gets you out of it.
I agree and I'm glad that people who have been through these challenges are willing to share their stories
Thank you ❤
You're welcome
If you haven't seen his 1 million subscribers: defining success video, there's a lot for you to talk about there.
Ok I'll check it out
He was told he wasn't sick, it was all in his mind. And his anxiety and depression was causing fake pain. When in reality it was his physical illness causing his anxiety and depression. 8+ yrs of untreated Lyme Disease damaging his brain and body. He has been at hospital/clinic in Calgary, Canada since Jan 2023 and still there being treated 5 days average a week with IV's
I hope he wasn't told fake pain. In general, It could be psychosomatic for some people, which means that some of the cause is mental, but that doesn't mean it hurts any less.
Proud and inspiring ❤
Agreed
Great reaction. And you’ve got a lot more tracks to explore. Look up REN’s Suicide, Chalk outlines, Sick Boi. All rich fodder for a therapist to analyse. 🔥👍😀
Thanks I'm looking forward to watching more
Agreed, the beat is killer raw! the background beat and sound effects sound like they’re mainly just his voice, (some vocals digitalized) which is super cool and unique to Ren.
It's cool to see his individuality coming out in his production as well
I absolutely loved this reaction. It's the most in-depth and informative one I've ever seen about Lyme disease. Thank you for this!
Thanks for the feedback. I don't know much specifically about Lyme disease, but I've worked with so many clients who have struggled with these under diagnosed chronic conditions
Rens whole discography is all worthy of hearing/reacting to. It’s all great. You’ll find many topics that are right up your alley to chime in on.
Sounds good!
You just have to learn to rap your message to your clients.😍
I enjoyed your insight.
Never considered the difference between lord and god.
Subbed
Glad you're here! Yeah, I feel like the difference in word choice would resonate with people of specific religious background, not everybody. And, idk if rapping to my clients would be good for anybody 😂
A song of triumph and hope Ren is lyrical genius.Him sharing his mental and physical struggles really touches so many people like myself because the struggle is real.Thanks appreciate you reacting to Ren again great analysis.👍
Thanks for watching!
I really appreciate your professional insight on these reactions. Looking forward to more. 💛🤘🤙✌️
Thanks! Luckily, I have another one coming out today
I think you'd find Ren's Fred Again Mashup interesting. Then watch Back On 74/Message In A Bottle for a lift up.
Cool thanks!
❤❤❤
❤️
Hope ❤
❤️
Ren is him
He's a really cool artist
May I suggest "Sick Boi" to see Ren's view of how he was treated. Also "Chalk Outline" to try and understand how drugs for mental illness numb the person and maybe why many stop taking them without medical advice.
Both seem really relevant to the channel. Look for some new reactions soon!
Migraines are the #1 cause of disability. They are not “ headaches”; rather they are neurological disorders and there are at least 5 different types, each with varying characteristics that can vary from person to person. I have had migraines since I was a kid ( I’m 57 ). In recent years they became atypical ( for me), chronic, came in clusters and piggybacked with occipital neuralgia headaches. I didn’t just wake up in pain, pain actually woke me up - like a 2x4 hitting my head. I don’t know what your patient’s situation is but I’d advise finding a neurologist that specializes in headaches ( migraines, cluster headaches, occipital and trigeminal neuralgia etc). Constantly treating migraines with medication ( whether it’s nsaids or triptans) can cause a cycle of rebound headaches that’s almost impossible to get out of. Finding a neurologist that specializes in these conditions is key because there are medications ( specifically CGRP inhibitors) that can stop the underlying mechanisms causing migraines ( halting the activity of the protein that plays a role in vasodilation and inflammation in the brain). Unlike other medications these DO NOT relieve pain, so it makes getting off of the rebound headache “merry go round” possible. Unfortunately these medications are crazy expensive and, as was my case, insurance companies often require you to exhaust less costly ( ineffective or even harmful) options. It took a long time for me to get approved for what was the “ holy grail “ of migraine prevention and relief : Botox. Literally the exact same thing as the cosmetic Botox on in a different box labeled for migraines. Like Ren I was SO hopeful, especially since so many people reported how life changing it was for them. Well, it left me literally unable to lift my head off of a pillow, for months. A lot of stuff happened between then and finding the neurologist I have now - including being sent to the psych ward which led to an MRI which discovered a brain bleed - so getting those first round of injections took a real leap of faith. They were, thankfully, what got me out of the cycle and moving forward.
I use the language of migraines and headaches because that's how my client describes them, and they are already set up with a specialist neuro. I'm just working to support them throughout all this struggle while their doc tries to figure out how to get this under control. It sounds like it could be a nightmare for years and years
Yes, Ren is a Rapper..but as you progress along the journey you will appreciate there are so many sides to him it is incredible. Religious , yes and no and all the way in-between, Ren is unique in many ways. Great to see you doing this one.
It was definitely an experience
Jumping shot to shot the machine/ liquor / garudin thinking it’s a tells part of the story.
I like your cap
Thank you, im enjoying it!
@@Therapy2Day 😄😄😄
If you are open to suggestions, please take a look at NF (Nathan Feuerstein)'s song Mansion. I think you will find it very interesting as a therapist.
Already listen to NF and love his music. Reactions to some of those tracks may be coming down the line
I have ankylosing spondylitis, it’s an autoimmune disease that attacks the spine and major joints. I’m inflamed and in pain at all times, the mental toll is at least as bad as the physical.
Wow that sounds really scary! But also probably one of those that looks like a lot of other things. How did you get it diagnosed?
@@Therapy2Day Yeah, its not great lol. It started with back pain so I saw a GP, who then sent me to a spinal surgeon. He did some testing and said he thought I needed to see a rheumatologist and he diagnosed me almost immediately. I was lucky and it only took 4-5 years to get to a diagnosis, most people with AS go alot longer.
@@estephens13 wow that's crazy that 4-5 years is considered quick. But I am glad you got to a rheumatologist who saw what was going on
@@Therapy2Day Yeah, its a hard disease to diagnose. Its MUCH worse for women because it used to be thought that it effected men almost exclusively, but its now known its basically 50/50.
@@estephens13 o wow is it genetically transmitted then?
Mindfullnes is great, but really, if you listen to Seven Sins by Ren, do you think that it can help him with his pain? In Chapters 1-8 he talk about pain that can't be described in words to the point you can know how bad it was. And he was literall with the shard (Chapters again), but it was one time thing, not selfharming addiction or sth. He cleaned himself afterward to not worry everybody else... It was pain that he could control vs uncontrollable pain from his illness. It is understandable more this way maybe?
Go for reaction to Sick boi (song and album). And he is not only a rapper, but multiinstrumentalist, musician through and through, singing voice in Hi Ren, Chalk outlines and How to be me (duets with Chinchilla) is so beautifull! You can react to all of this :)
Yep lots to take a look at. Mindfulness meditation can be very powerful, but I teach my clients that it is a discipline, not a drug. It takes time and practice for efficacy, not just a one time treatment that will make your problems go away
one word: subtitles
UA-cam didn't do so hot with subtitles on another ren song. Decided to do without this time
@@Therapy2Day very true, but this one comes off ok...and we'll worth getting the details.
@@samuelmregister maybe next time
He does make his own beats. Don’t worry if you don’t catch every single word the first listen, you’ll find that Ren’s fans are a very gentle positive comunity 🫶🏽
That's pretty cool, and I think maybe I wanted to be on top of things since some commenters on a previous video seemed a little gate keep-y
Ren has described himself as spiritual
He doesn't have a religious affiliation
But he does enjoy the descriptive language and symbols of religions
Faith imo is a thing that can't be pinned down
But can vary due to circumstances and state of mind
To get a better idea of Ren
He has written a health log bio of this time in his life
8 parts called Chapters on his Renmakestuff channel
The symbols and language of religion is so powerful because it's got its own emotion, meanings, and implications ready to be used in art

Aye, not catching bits of a song, as we all do. In a way it's a good thing, it's leaves room for new discovery in the same song.
It's like when he first came across negative comments. People defended him.. sort of attacking his detractors. Ren asked them not to, as he said, if everyone likes your music then your music is likely vanilla pop, so he likes that there are people who don't like it and are honest enough to say so. Also, people who like his music but not all, and say so.
It's like what Black Sabbath said, if some people hate you, you must be doing something right.

I can get on board with that, that if you make something universally beloved, it cant really be that deep
Are you a fan yet?
Lol fan yes for sure. Super fan to listen to everything he's ever put out? Not that deep yet 😅
@@Therapy2Day haha. Well enjoy your journey with this amazing man and artist.
@@tjh5716 thanks ❤️
@@Therapy2Day Also, any advice on seeking inpatient hospitalization for someone with bipolar disorder? Unfortunately, a loved one is experiencing crisis and her therapist basically said try to wait out the episode because there are no good options of hospitalization. Basically only rehab based centers. I’m
In Pennsylvania. In general to find this to be true? Just cannot seem to get help.
@@tjh5716 thanks for asking! I'm not familiar with PA, but at least in Virginia there's often a gap between someone having to be taken to inpatient (for cases of safety and self harm) and someone really struggling but doctors can't make the justification that they need a spot in an inpatient center. Is the person willing to seek that level of help or would it be involuntary? If inpatient isn't an option, are there intensive outpatient providers who might help them through the crisis? There are services where you're seen almost every day but just still staying at home. Please feel free to DM on Instagram if you need some more info. Calling a crisis line for your local public mental health might also get you some answers more specific to what's around you.
Do your clients ever manage to get a word in? lol :)
I see them talking as the main point of the session! Please recognize that I'm watching this as a UA-camr who is a counselor, not as a counselor. It'd be a pretty one sided video if it was just me listening (plus more subject to copyright 😂)
I don’t suffer from any of those symptoms but would be coriuse if anyone has did study on say Riffe invention using vibration healing???
What does that mean?
Looks like your computer is struggling to keep up with what you are asking from it. Hopefully at some point you will have the means to have a computer that is optimized for your UA-cam content creation.
It hasn't been an issue for any other UA-cam reaction. Idk what was up with that video specifically
@@Therapy2Day Intermittent issues are always frustrating. Could have been another program running in the background that was making the CPU/GPU struggle while you were recording.
@@michaelbradley7529 hopefully it doesn't become a long term pattern
“Ren is a rapper”: Newbie alert!!
😬
Ren is a multi genre artistic genius, no box for this amazing soul.
I'm excited to hear more directions his work goes
On the bright side, your clock is right twice a day. 🫢
Lol! Was wondering when someone would notice
@@Therapy2Day Now you have to check out his song Everybody Drops which has the line “I never made Top of the Pops, ‘cause my body went and stopped like the hands on a broken clock”. It’s an older one but definitely one of his gems (there too many to be honest, he’s a generational artists).
