I think it's so cool he's been about to talk with people like Allinity, Amouranth, etc. They're people who I personally don't have friendly feelings towards. To see this more humanized, vulnerable side of them gives me a more complete of a picture of who they are. And it's hard to dislike someone when you see, underneath the persona, they're just people too.

[@Spamton_A_Spamton]

I personally, feel the complete opposite. The fact that Kate started this and feels like she can’t stop it when she knows she can. If she stops streaming to get a better job they probably won’t hire bc they don’t “want to tarnish their company’s reputation” by having a pornstar. It’s the ultimate comedy

Yup Dr K's interviews are just reminders that these people are and have always been humans. We knew this before in our hearts but it was covered up by the veil of the internet which makes people think that these streamers are something else, robots with no feels or such. Allowing them to shit on people as much as they want and only when something happens to them do they realise, shit, this guy was also human and then they stop... For a bit, before going back to treating them like robots again then the cycle keeps going. Hopefully people try to break out of that cycle.

It's not that they are consciously pushing them away. It's just part of everyday life. Cait even said in the beginning that her "body does these emotional kind of things, but she doesn't really feel that way inside".

@@1996Pinocchio *She doesn't know that she feels that way inside. Your body and brain are one in the same, or work in tandem with one another.

[@LS5D]

Dr K is on point. Shes been doing this for so long and shes been talking herself into this grinding mindset for so long that shes just completly lost. She doesnt even know how else she is supposed to feel. Shes probably making so much money and has so much attention that she thinks that she is doing great when her body and mind are telling her different. But she doesnt accept that and just ignores it and justifies her behaviour through her success. Shes basically scared of proving herself wrong. Theres also no way that just one of these talks is gonna help her. Even another talk wont help her. She has to want it. And the only way thats gonna happen is through a proper therapist. Or she works herself to complete burnout and then she realises it. Either way she has a problem.

[@Nivieee]

I relate to her when she mentionned that she feels like she lost her personnality. I felt exactly like that when I was at my lowest point at 24. Seven years layer, looking back, I think I was grieving the innocent childlike part of myself that went through life blindly and carelessly. But once I got through it and got better, I actually prefered the new, more aware version of myself. I hope she's better now! 💛

Dr.K I would recommend you making more tittles like this instead of "talking to..." because you can have an idea of what the video is about and its a lot more apealing for the people who dont know the streamer.

[@cutiebigbooty]

I actually mostly agree with you, but I think maybe the reason he does this is because some guests on his streams go from topic to topic, and therefore making a title that describes everything they talked about would be too long. But for other guests who focus on one issue, it's easier to title the video with more description. Does that make sense?

I've felt exactly like she described, but under drastically different circumstances.

It's like building your own personal hell, but then feeling selfish if you stop building it, and then feeling like you can't complain because, hey, you built it on your own free will. The scariest part is that so much of a persons identity is transjective not just objective. So you start to identify with the hell you built, and when you take the walls down and take time for yourself, it's like you, as a concept, don't really exist anymore. Walking away from something like that is like literally becoming a different person. There was the you that existed before (ie in this video the smiley, putting on kids parties person), then there's the you during (robotic, overworked), and then the you after has lost so much of the before and during that you have to invent a completely new person, sometimes with a drastically different personality.

Farming upvotes is not exclusively an internet thing. It's a projection of real life into the internet. I'd argue that the whole society in general works like what you're saying about the internet. The only difference is that on the internet, people show both their toxic side and their genuine side in anonymity, based on their immediate state of mind, whereas in real life, everyone is just toxic all the time because they're ashamed of even showing their real side as it's never accepted and everything has to be a competition of who's the coolest person. Everyone's commited to just act cool all the time. In real life, I would never get away with saying that my hobby is either learning new languages or playing chess or playing computer games, because people will call all of these things boring and the conversation ends right there. Yet somehow on the internet, every other person likes these things. I find the internet quite refreshing to be honest. I'd even say internet in itself is a very positive feature.

I do understand now why Dr. K doesn't search who are those people he talks to, because it kinda gives you an expectation or an image of them and it ruins the whole process. And people are very judgemental of nsfw content, because it is against their morales. I think that is fine and everyone can say their opinion, but most of the time it feels that people follow the crowd and they do not know why they hate something, they just do it cause others do. Watching this stream she brought up a real problem which is over working and very high expectations, so I don't think she is any different than a workaholic at the office who watches the stream on the mean time, so her opinion shouldn't be devalued because of her career path.

And this channel is all about your mind, mental health, sharing experiences and how may Dr. K help or explain.

[@yorujin_1121]

@stasewich most likely, I don't ignore the fact that it might not be the most demanding work in the world and that she is fortunate enough to be in that position, but as a person who wants to work as an artist. I may not be like most physically active person, but I still need to dedicate time and learn on what to do. And I've seen multiple cases of where people think art is very easy and not demanding. Which is not true especially on the mental side.

My god she has grown a thick armor, it feels like even she can't always see behind it :( And I think its safe to bet there was lot she didnt talk about as that is what she has learned being a streamer. I hope she finds it in her to find how to just live for her and not just live through her work.

They even tried partner therapy.... A couple's therapist is unfortunately the worst person to visit with an abuser. contributes to the logical arguments of gaslighting.

[@TheNerdyPengwin]

@@nhiavue1 omg he totally tries to call her out when she tries to distract at the very beginning with the breathing thing. she's clearly hurting and he's validating her, and she is hiding how much it's affecting her because she's being controlled and censored by her husband, right?

[@TheNerdyPengwin]

Check out his reaction @13:30 again when she makes the excuse for why she's not really as upset as she's acting. he literally rolls his eyes and furrows his brow. But obviously she's putting up barriers to protect the secret. The better question in retrospect to ask about the animal sanctuary is not how it feels to put them above her, but how does she relate to a helpless animal in captivity and threatened with death when they are burdensome and no longer valued.

[@goncaloaguiar5921]

Defensive people are really difficult to read or help has even when the open up in an emotinal way they don t assume the negative side of their life journey , at best try to convey a neutral prespetive on the problems and neglect it entirely. Kate it a good example of that as being defensive and run from her emotions gave her an edge in focussing on work and animals , the only 2 things she combines on her ultimate goal , the rescue ranch.

[@Aaron.Church.Solomon]

Someone needs to introduce Amouranth to Whitney Cummings. The personality development. The challenges of being an attractive woman who’s got bigger goals than just being attractive. The challenges of being a female celebrity The goals of taking care of animals and bringing to life an animal care farm. Like these two women in my head are like a pair of older/younger sisters. Mentor/mentee. Friends, after watching this episode, would be a great thing for Kate.

[@mintee8638]

Be careful not to get too stuck on a goal, as a better goal can be discovered. It can be discovered through a dilemma, then trying to get to the essence of the two conflicting goals, and finding a third option that fulfills the spirit of both goals. That is one benefit of not holding on to a goal too hard but relaxing, that one is more capable of finding a better goal.

[@Conceptsexplainedsimply]

After this interview, I honestly just mostly had a fear for Kate/Ama for her health. Like the cognitive and physical ailments or problems that arise from not getting adequate sleep, constantly stressed from doing so much work and progress....it's all so scary.

[@richarddukard8989]

Watching this after knowing that her abusive husband is/was forcing her to stream puts this entire conversation in a completely different light. It's a shame she felt she had to lie the entire conversation

[@VioletEmerald]

Wait really? What happened -- edit to add I just googled and found the Business Inside article on it all. Wow.

[@nicebhaalu961]

I was surprised that Dr. K didn't reach the kind of conclusion that we are used to so I went to check the type content that she creates. I think there has to be direct consequences of generating 'hollow' content for hours on end on your mental health. That would have been much more productive to talk about. It takes a ton of mental fortitude to create content that is different from her inner personality. And once you have sacrificed so much doing something you low-key hate, the fallen cost fallacy sinks in, and the problems go on.

[@mattw-cx50]

I think she needs to challenge her notion that if she's not streaming 24/7 her "empire" will crumble. I mean she's going for massive quantity over less frequent, but higher quality content. I doubt anyone can possibly be interesting enough to justify being online all the time. I think she might have some OCD along with the ADD. Hope she finds a healthier balance.

[@luizabakumenko]

1:48 "Sleeping on the job again". 😂😂😂

[@TheBlablawww]

23:48 Dr. K. makes a good point. Amouranth mentions that her parents couldn't spend time with her because her parents were too busy with work, and now she is busy with her future goals and neglects herself, repeating her parents' behaviour towards herself. This is probably not the entire story but there might be a link.

[@Savagemode09]

No i told this to her sometimes she was reminded of that I seen she does a lot better but she is very stubborn and career driven which is great, but then you forget you're human being and the body needs to rest. I remember asking her is 57 million enough? she said no, I am very greedy person I need more and that is where the ego comes in. I noticed that with her parents not getting along and having her brother smash a bat accidentally to her brain something triggered something else. But we need to remember that the idea came from her husband she would not be here in this day without her husband's lucrative ideas and as much as I seen how ''toxic'' those two can be it worked. I do think it can be too much then she loses her identity and no life just working so much and I do agree with her than in the long run she can retire right now, but her working does benefit. These were my experiences with her when I was in her channel just observing her.

[@frogiwthoutahat]

amouranth's mindset, motivations, and emotions are crazier than i could've imagined

[@nadiazarrougui]

I'm did the same but with drawing and i forgot myself and i worked a lot to reach "somdthing" and i couldnt stop and then i had a burn-out, i remember that day when i couldnt move from my bed, i understood that i was running away from that break because i refused to accept what happened to me, i was traumatised and working was like a shelter for me, that Day, my body said to me: FUCK YOU, now you cant draw, you cant run away and you will listen to me, and it was a show of physical pain! My mental pain didnt have a place in this show because my body took over! That was in 2019 and i had two tough years and i thought that i couldnt have friends and that i m like a slave to drawing but no, that burnout created a balance and im proud of this because i still the same obsessionnal drawer but my body is not against me, i dont have a really healthy life but, when my body tell me to stop drawing and to rest or to get out and have fun, i do it!! I discovered a lot of new things and its fucking Nice! Dont be afraid to reveal your true self, you are going to love it!!

[@thecasualreviewer2148]

As a DJ, I can totally relate to the first thing she mentioned. There was a woman that actually cancelled on my services cause she said "you lack enthusiasm" No one has ever said that to me before; it's not entirely necessary for a DJ, but I can understand. I've also noticed I can't dance anymore, hahaa

[@TheXLAXLimpLungs]

I just had an idea for streamers etc. Why don't they hire a "Substitute Streamer". Just like teachers etc that are positions that can't be absent, they need substitute streamers to keep momentum in the eyes of the algorithm

[@czechmeoutbabe1997]

Good idea, i remember Hbomb invented a something called a “skeleton stream” (from the theatre term of a “skeleton crew” - the fewest people needed to run a project). It’s a good idea but people will probably still leave while the main streamer is gone but possibly not all viewers.

[@nocturnalstateofmind441]

I really hope that she takes more care of herself now, she really needs time for herself. Working on lifegoals is one thing - putting yourself in a miserable place while doing so is just wrong. You'll never be able to enjoy what you worked for if you lose yourself in the process. Live for the sake of living sometimes. Enjoy things that make you happy. Don't feel forced to live up to the expectations of others - it's your life after all. So go out there and learn how to smile again and take a deep breather. You'll see that everything will become a little less stressful!

[@MarwanMahdy]

I honestly don't believe the "abusive husband" story, I mean, she still makes money from OF even after the whole thing is over..

[@fzg590]

that's nonsense. If a person has been abused for years it doesn't mean that every choice which is referable to that event has to be canceled in order to make the story true. It's very probable that she was fine with using her image for economic purposes but she didn't want to use it that much on stream, since there's a different website specifically made for that purpose. It's sad to see so many women who are afraid to report and to openly talk about their abusive relationships cause of the fear of not being believed, actually being right

[@MarwanMahdy]

@@fzg590 before making things up go check her stream now. her imaginary abusive husband is just an excuse for her to keep doing what she is doing without the backlash. Also, she recently bragged on twitter about making 750k a month from onlyfans in 2020, no mention of being "forced into it".

[@prometheuszero9]

Man I felt so much for her, especially the part at 1:26:55 where she says "exhaustion and sadness for myself" answering his question about how she feels having streamed so much for years on end. I love this channel cause you see stuff on social media or even online news sites about KZbinrs, Twitch streamers, etc, and it's so easy to forget that these are just real people in a totally new line of work, and it's really sad to see how much it can affect them sometimes. But I'm glad they choose to come on here and even if they can't or don't work with Dr. K again, maybe they will continue digging deeper into stuff and find how to be happy with themselves right now, as they are.
