UK therapist Robyn reacts to “Sick Boi” by Ren for the first time.
We dive deep into the raw emotion and lyrical honesty of the song, discussing the world of therapy in the UK. Robyn shares insights into the challenges of finding a therapist who truly listens and the barriers people face when seeking help.
Whether you’re navigating therapy yourself or just exploring mental health through music, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
He spent 7 years trying to find his people, so many people. I believe it was someone who contacted him as they believed he may have Lyme disease. He was able to do this because of the platform he created through his artistry. People, as you say, will get lost in the system if their voice is not heard, it’s scary to think of how many people just get fobbed off and ultimately lost.
Your channel as well as the therapist would benefit from viewing Ren’s 8 Chapters series, where he takes us through his initial 8 year health struggle, ages 19 - 27. There is so much gold in these chapters, allowing you to give your views and thoughts on his struggles as he advocates for himself in the UK, European as well as the American & Canadian Health care systems.
Each chapter runs for approx. 20 minutes and at the end of that 20 min includes a personal recording or music video by Ren from the timeline he reviewed in the chapter. AMAZING STORY. It would make a fascinating movie in my opinion.
In a lot of REN’s videos you will see the pig mask. It represents greed, mostly corporate greed and indifference. It’s the butchering of our society by wealth and power.
Ren has said that these are things he wished he could have said to all the oersonel he saw. He had such strong pai, brain fog and disassociation, from the Lyme disease and they would insist it was all caused by his mental issues rather than the other way around. They never did test him for pathogens, because Lyme was so rare. He was caught between a rock and a hard place. Gaslighted is real with chronic illness.
Love Ren reactions thanks for this!
Something a little off topic but still please read through it!
I am Bells and I wrote a song for Ren. And I wrote it not only from my point of view. I think many of you Renegades would feel seen too. This people who have listened until now showed me this in their lovely comments. And I am thankful for every single one of them
Now I ask you to please give my Song for Ren a listen. I‘ve done it with full heart! If you like it please share it with other Renegades. And please tag Ren if you think it‘s worth it. It would mean so so so much to me!
And I ask you not to give me a follow. This is not the important thing. But only for this song it would be so good if there would be a little more traffic. Thank you so much!!!
And btw I know about the Song of Wynand Fourie (and he knows of mine) and I participated in the choir. I am the Girl from Germany. It is a lovely project. But I had my song nearly finished when Wynand came up with his idea and I still wanted to post it. It is no competition.
Oh and one last thing. I know my video is not perfect. I was so nervous and I had simply not more time. So my talking is a little all over the place but I think the song is ok!
From what I remember from another video Ren’s dad Martin (who’s a therapist in the UK) passed an interesting comment about how due to the budget cuts on the mental health side of the NHS nowadays most NHS support in respect of mental health is a overworked nurse with a check list. In cases like ren’s where his mental health was the collateral damage of him being given psychiatric drugs due to a wrongful diagnosis people like him are slipping through the system. Another UK Therapist youtuber (therapistreacts) also said similar things, he even said “I hope im not guilty of this”.
As former Foster Parents we have dealt with multiple kids who had pass traumas when they panic from drowning it feels like sometimes you are trying to rescue them but their panic starts to cause us to like we are about to slip under the water as well
I don’t mean this in a negative way at all, but it doesn’t seem like Robyn is old enough to have many years experience at anything. (This is probably more a statement of how old I am. Many years experience to me is like 20 - 30 years plus.)
This therapist sounds sketchy because seems to care too much about being unique and complaining about having to meet certain criteria a.k.a. standards during training. I’m all about finding unique approaches to therapy, but you’re being trained in certain therapeutic modalities for a reason. They work. There’s a saying in chess, first worry about getting a rating of around 2000, then you can start concerning yourself with your own style. In other words, get good, get competent, meet the standards that make a good chess player, and then differentiate yourself.
thanks for this!
but I think the song is ok!
put in a good word.wiith Ren for me
