Therapist analyzes the lyrics of Sick Boi by Ren to talk about the importance of differentiating between if someone is sick or hurt. Often times when people seek help from professionals they are treated like a problem that needs to be fixed and this only deepens the wounding they feel. Instead, they deserve to be treated like a person who deserves compassion.

Has anyone explained Ren’s medical history to you? Long story short, he went in with a list of symptoms, and they misdiagnosed him with depression, bipolar, and chronic fatigue syndrome. It wasn’t until later, after him not giving up and spending a lot of money on specialists that they discovered he actually had Lime disease.

Thanks for the content you make! I like learning how minds work and this way of doing it is very intertaining too 
I can suggest Bang Bang by Hollywood Undead for another reaction, would love to see that one.
P.S. Your glass cubes(?) on the shelves(?) keep triggering something in me, I just can’t believe they are stable and are not about to fall at any moment😅

@RenMakesMusic I really hope you see this. This totally is my first experience with therapy. It was defeating at first, once I did try again it was very helpful and I was able to help the hurt. @heartsupport

Ren has many songs that touch on his health, both physical and mental, and society, that I would love to see you react to, including, Chalk Outlines, Dominoes, Diazepam, Seven Sins, Dear God. to name a few. He also has a trilogy called Jenny and Screech (full) which focusses on domestic violence, so beware. if you want global/social commentary, ‘The money game’ trilogy is a must, and ‘Crucify your culture’… and for grief, ‘Suicide’ and ‘a Song for Joe’ and ‘Precious’ by Ren’s band, ‘The Big Push’ which are written about Ren’s close childhood friend, Joe Hughes, who sadly took his life by jumping off a bridge and Ren arrived just a few minutes too late to save him after running from his apartment after receiving a phone call… Lots to unpack… BTW Ren also does a lot of other class happier light-hearted music and rap.

Loved your reactions to Ren! I’ve been seeing a therapist for almost two years and feel very blessed with his care and compassion, knowing that he is a safe space for me to share my trauma. But I have some friends who’s negative experiences with therapists has shut them down from getting help.

You’ve got to see his work I’ve never heard/seen music uniting about health and mental issues. Jenny/screech is about generational violence and never gets old. He has a whole series about struggling with depression and his friend and real life quits the game… and then theres lighthearted stuff that still is of course, deep.
