In this special video, sponsored by BetterHelp, HeartSupport chats with David Yadush, a Licensed Counselor (LPC/LPCC) and Senior Manager on the Clinical Operations team at BetterHelp. David’s expertise lies in LGBTQ+ mental wellness, self-esteem, motivation, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. We delve into the many ways music can benefit our mental health, distinguish between the therapeutic effects of certain activities and formal therapy, explore the wide-ranging benefits of therapy, and examine how childhood trauma can profoundly affect life in adulthood.

Disclaimer: David Yadush’s input is general psychological information based on research and clinical experience. It’s intended to be general and informational in nature. Also — just because you might have heard something on the show that sounds similar to what you’re experiencing, beware of self-diagnosis. Diagnosis is not required to find relief, and you’ll want to find a qualified professional to assess and explore diagnoses, if that’s important to you. If you or your partner are in crisis and uncertain of whether you can maintain safety, reach out for support — crisis hotlines, local authorities. Have a safety plan; that can be done with a therapist too.

We are all born poets we talk and express in metaphors how did this come to pass In the village square, people would gather to listen to various speakers. In one corner stood the Truth Teller, a man who always spoke the truth, never deviating from it. He told the people nothing but facts. In the other corner stood the Storyteller, a woman who spun beautiful tales on a variety of subjects.

The Truth Teller noticed that, time and again, the crowd would flock to the Storyteller. Curiosity got the better of him, and one day, he approached her and asked,
“Why do people always gather around you? You just tell stories, yet the crowd listens intently. I, on the other hand, speak the truth, and very few stay to hear me.”

The Storyteller smiled but could not explain. She only shrugged and said,
“They like stories.”

Though puzzled, the Truth Teller remained courteous, and over time, they became good friends. They appreciated each other’s company and eventually decided to marry. Even after their marriage, they continued in their respective roles: she as the storyteller, and he as the truth teller.

Not long after, they had a child. They named the child Metaphor, because in every metaphor, there is a layer of truth wrapped in a story. It is through exploring a metaphor that individuals can discover their own truth, without being directly told.

And so, the Truth Teller, the Storyteller, and their child Metaphor lived happily together, each contributing to the wisdom and wonder of the village.

We are all born poets, for within us lies the ability to wrap truth in the beauty of stories, and through these stories, we find our own meanings, our own truths, and our own paths.

A very good band you should listen to is blue October specifically singer/songwriter Justin furstenfeld’s acoustic versions of “fear” “bleed out” and “hate me”

I’ve been really enjoying your music reactions, and would like to request that you listen to Shame in You by Alice in Chains. It would also be amazing to see a reaction to Pharmaecopia by Mudvayne, as it is a very powerful song about addiction and vices

14

HeartSupport exists for a reason. It is Divine work. The work that needs to be done.

15

you should react to dead bodies everywhere by korn, its one of my favorites and quite meaningful

16

You should react to “tidal” by Noah kahan

17

I recently started following the channel and I’m loving every reaction. But I would like to take the opportunity to BEG for a reaction to a Song:

CORPSE & Bring Me The Horizon - Code Mistake :pray:

18

Please react to Neon Gravestones by Twenty One Pilots.
It’s right up your alley.
Love your reaction videos.

19

can you consider listening to heretic by ren i know you have done other ren reactions before and i think it is one of the best ren songs plus the visualizer is really cool

20

Great discussion all…

21

You guys should react to Six Feet Deep and their song “Angry Son”…they are a mid 90’s Christian hardcore band. That entire song has been my prayer every time I feel forgotten.
