Therapist reacts to Sick Boi Ren

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 years later, after him not giving up and spending a lot of money on specialists that they discovered he actually has Lyme disease.

[@hignfy]

Diazepam, Everybody Drops, Chalk Outlines (live), and Lost All Faith are compulsive listening to Ren's journey.

[@crystal95405]

He said that he could get out of bed for years, and he thought he was going to die before he turned 30.

[@Mr.Ekshin]

They don't care... that's what "free" healthcare is all about. There's no competition among doctors or therapists, they all just get caseloads assigned to them, so you can be the worst therapist in the world, and it doesn't matter. Nobody cares about anything except shuffling you in and out of there as fast as possible. It's "care" reduced to the same kind of cold bureaucracy that you find at the registry of motor vehicles. You're a number.

[@HeartSupport]

In short yes, Any time we approach or bring a song to Taylor that we want her to react to I/we do a ton of research. Sometimes all the information can get fuzzy. We take great care in doing our best to respect the personal stories and songs. Hold Fast -The VIdeo Editor

[@wreckin_eyez]

@@HeartSupport Makes sense, good deal. I'm new to the channel, so I wasn't sure how it worked. In that case, I agree with everyone that has said y'all should do Chalk Outlines next. Not only does it fit the mental health theme, it showcases Ren's absolutely amazing singing voice.

[@draden187pc8]

This is what happens when you can't afford therapy, you get a over worked nurse going though a checklist. There is no help less you can afford private help. This is why we have music, least we know we're not alone.

[@nimajneB621]

You should check out ‘chalk outlines’ by Ren with Chinchilla. Make sure you do the live one. If fits with the mental health theme

[@_prg]

Good call. I'd suggest adding "Diazepam" to that list.

[@badmotherrucker]

I concur.

[@gracesprocket7340]

Also Dominos. Su!cide. Diazepam. The triology "The Tale of Jenny and Screech", plus the 'Instagram Tales: Screech" for context.

[@mommabard]

Your reaction made me cry. Therapists who are trauma informed are so very rare. I had one "therapist" a few years back who actually looked at my chart and said, "So you've been through therapy off and on for years; so what is it you expect from me?" I just quietly got up and left the session. Ren is such a beacon of light and talent speaking and singing the words that are inside so many of us. I'm glad you found him and thank you for your compassionate reaction.

[@HeartSupport]

Dang, I am so sorry this happened to you. It breaks my heart to hear stories like this. It's clear you needed compassion and that's what you deserved from a therapist who is supposed to offer exactly that. I'm proud of you for leaving and knowing it wasn't a great fit for you. That can be a really challenging thing to do. I hope that if you try therapy again you find someone who is a good fit. In the meantime I'm glad you have this music and it's meaning

[@laupstad]

I've been in and out for half my life and this question always comes up. Often in the first session. Over the years I've learned to just be honest: "Nothing". I expect nothing. No one has proved me wrong. I'm just there to tick the necessary boxes for me to keep getting welfare and they're only there to tick those boxes for me. Vitamins, sleeping tabs, anti-depressants of many varieties. Nothing does anything and the therapist is just sitting there taking notes and looking at their books as if the answer is in there. My personal conclusion is that I can't be fixed. With the right help I might be able to live with my baggage, but I wont ever fix it.

[@BexlarsIRL]

I've had a similar experience and it nearly made me lose what little faith I still had in the mental health system. To just feel so utterly helpless and lost and just wanting to tell them 'I just don't want to feel like this anymore' but knowing there isn't a magic wand they can wave to make things better, especially when you've already tried so many things...

[@MikeyPea72]

Your contribution to the RENiverse is very much appreciated. Thank you

[@alexyanchunis1593]

@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 is remarkable. I agree with Ren. First time seeing a therapist,(Ever in my life) I experienced the same treatment. When you get the right Doctor or Therapist. It's Amazing. ❤

[@pennycousineau946]

Great Reaction. 🙂

[@erikmecom4145]

He was misdiagnosed for a decade. Early in the song he says "bitten by a tick". He got Lyme Disease and was misdiagnosed with mental health disorders. Some of his early Vlogs when he was really sick are heartbreaking.

[@dropbarracuda]

Given your reaction to this, Seven Sins (the opening track on Ren's Sick Boi album) would probably be a good song for you to check out. It delves into the abyss of pain. It's both breathtaking and heartbreaking.

[@robingayle68]

[@tribute1965]

Ren has dozens of songs equally as powerful as this dealing with his physical and mental struggles that started when he was 19. His Lyme disease wasn't properly diagnosed until he was 25. His story is one of triumph over terrible circumstances. More Ren please. You will not regret it.

[@sharis9095]

After almost of a decade of being told it was "all in his head" Ren literally had to raise money and go to another country to find a specialist to get a proper diagnosis. He has a very conflicted view of the medical profession. Years of errors, but then treatment and help. He will always give credit to those that helped... but he'll never forget those who dismissed him. I often wonder if those who "treated" him know of him now... if they know they failed him. Chalk Outlines next please.

[@Achanqaray87]

This is my favorite reaction. I love trauma-informed therapists. Thank you.

[@kizunadragon9]

Ren is doing so much to bring awareness to mental health. Hes been though the fire and by telling his story he is giving a voice to the voiceless. Mental health has really only been taken seriously in the last say decade or so. And sadly so much of it is this assembly line treatment. thank you Ren for being our Bard

[@JessieNebulousGaming]

You seem like you're a wonderful therapist who genuinely cares and listens to people. So, thanks for being that! I had my autoimmune disease misdiagnosed as bipolar and psychosomatic disorder for 15 years, so my story is very similar to Ren's. It's extremely difficult to experience, and I'm glad there are mental health professionals out there trying their best to just be decent, empathetic human beings for those of us who are struggling.

[@andrewrobinson-morris1852]

You'll love Chalk Outlines (live), you also might want to have a look at How to be me. Or perhaps Diazapam. It obligatory to do the tales of Jenny and Screech (full) and Money games pts 1,2 and 3.

[@Kenai2008]

"Ren X Chinchilla - Chalk Outlines (live)" should be your next reaction for Ren. Also ... "Ren Ft. Bibi - Crutch" shows the pain and torture on Ren's physical body when he was at his worst with his Lyme Disease misdiagnosis. Crutch was before he had been diagnosed.

[@joshuacalloway4637]

He’s describing my 17 years dealing with the VA. I get 25 minutes a month, and the one medication I take that I know I need more of, the second I bring it up…they blame it on something else and say we’ll touch base again in a month. The VA had me on about 10 medications when I got out in 2007, and they always push more, except for the one I know that works.

[@chrisparti]

I am 62 and have recently given up on therapy after waiting 18 months to be seen, and having 9 sessions. It was basically lists and leaflets of things to basically distract yourself, like put your head in a bucket of water, look for 5 object, touch 4 objects, smell 3 etc.. it made my anxiety worse. Ren's lyrics have helped my condition far more than the lists of distraction techniques that I was suggested. 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.

[@HeartSupport]

Hi friend, thank you so much for sharing your experience here. I'm so sorry that you waited so long and then STILL didn't get the help you needed and deserved. It's so disappointing to wait and even more disappointing that after all that waiting it didn't even help. It wasn't even worth it. Had to feel so deflating. I'm so glad that you have Ren and his music to help. Music is powerful and so are the communities around musicians. Hope you're feeling better. Glad you're here

[@AndrewJonesMcGuire]

@@HeartSupport Sadly - I experienced an 18 month waiting list too, back in 2014. Also made more infuriating by the little card they send out every 6 months apologising that you are still waiting and asking you to confirm that you are in fact still in need of mental health help. The UK NHS is good for a lot - but it falls short, very very short when it comes to mental health. After you finally make it to the top of the waiting list, you get a block of 6 sessions, the first is obviously used up by introductions and initial diagnosis. The remaining 5 sessions are only ever about teaching you coping skills - a sticking plaster, there is no time or money in the UK NHS Mental Health services to actually deal with the root cause. After your 6 sessions (which are 3 weeks apart) you go back on to the very long waiting list if you still need more support. And the hardest part (for me at least) - is that the telephone support that was available but rarely needed while you were having your 6 sessions, that's gone too. It feels like a lifeline has been removed - like you have been thrown out into the cold and now have to wait another 2 years before you can speak to someone again. In 3 sets of 6 sessions - the only thing I have come away with that is genuinely useful, is breathe in through the nose and out through mouth. That's it.

[@TheRealityleak]

​​@@AndrewJonesMcGuire I've just finished 5 years of therapy, all paid for by me. My therapist explained the NHS model. 6 sessions. 1. Intros and what to expect. 2. And 3. Explore the issue and start actual therapy. 4 and 5 the actual work continues. 6. Outro. Continuing coping techniques. So really only 3 actual therapy sessions. (I should say, that's not official in any way, just paraphrasing the way she explained it to me) I hope you have better experiences in the future. Therapy was invaluable to me, and although I've spent thousands of pounds on it, I wouldn't ever want to have not done it. I'm so grateful to my therapist for all she did! All the best for the future.

[@AndrewJonesMcGuire]

@@TheRealityleak yeah, sadly we can't all afford to go private. And yes, though you may be paraphrasing - it's pretty accurate. Every time I got my block of sessions, it was always a new psychologist - so session one was always wasted , going over old ground again (and fyi to the NHS, people who have mental health problems, typically don't enjoy having to introduce themselves to yet another psychologist).

[@cassandrawood]

I am so grateful I found this video! When I'm not listening to Ren's music, I am watching others react to Ren's music! I've seen so many reactors and it always gives me a buzz seeing their amazement and appreciation and how they interpret his songs. For those of us who have been following him for some time now, and because of how he bares his soul so profoundly, not only through his music, but in interviews and BTS content etc. it gives a kind of insight into his mind that you don't normally get with most artists. Because of this, I think all Renagades would agree that if Ren does see this video, he will be as grateful to you as you are to him for this reaction. It felt like every time you stopped to discuss what you just saw, you were saying things that he directly addresses in the following part of the song. It was so satisfying predicting your excitement after talking about the way therapy has made him feel and then hitting play and his lyrics reflecting your own views. I am gonna check out your other Ren reaction now but I feel like of all the "Sick Boi" reaction videos, yours stands out as one that completely validates and supports Ren's vision, and how he has been shaped by his experiences. And on a more personal level, the way you discuss mental illness as a side effect of trauma and pain speaks to me and had me in genuine tears. The healing kind that come from actually feeling validated. So thank you. If all therapists were like you then I feel that those of us with these problems would be coping far better, not just walking around with metaphorical band aids over our problems! Thank you deeply! ❤

[@JustOneRandomDude._.]

You've got to see his work 😂 I've never heard/seen music this uniting about health and mental issues.

He has a whole series about struggling with depression and his friend in real life quits the game.. and then theres lighthearted stuff that still is of course, deep.

Very nice reaction! I'm glad that you're digging Ren. I really like the verbiage of "hurt people" rather than "sick people". When you mentioned "epitome of compassion", my mind went immediately to Aurora. If she isn't on your radar, I'd strongly recommend checking her out. There isn't a bad place to start with her, but I might suggest the live Vevo performance of Exhale Inhale.

Im trying to think of the major ones that deal with mental illness. I would also say take a look at "Chalk Outlines" him with Chinchilla singing, "How to be Me" also him singing with Chinchilla , there are so many more, and you will get a huge amount of people coming by to see your reactions to all of them.

Taylor I've seen you in a couple reactions thus far and I must say ....I love your energy, I connect with your empathy and am inspired by the way life flows through you ..what a gift it must be to be of service to others helping them find direction when they are lost..keep going Taylor. Take comfort from the universe that no matter where you are at. You are exactly where you are supposed to be....✌️

Please do more REN. Much love from the UK 🧡

Heck yeah Taylor! So glad to see you react to this. Love your genuine jaw dropping reactions and wonderful insights as to how and why this “therapy” (interrogation) session is so flawed. Sure Ren has condensed and focused the lens sharply on the horrendous treatment of so many mental health patients, but, the right mental health professionals make such a profound difference in this world that, sadly, has so much hurt. His brutal, yet beautiful and eloquent tragic trilogy The COMPLETE Tales of Jenny & Screech focuses on other hurtful aspects of the lives of too many people.

First time watcher.... Liked and subscribed.... Thank you for getting it. I'm 62 years old and I am refreshed to see someone so much younger understanding what's going on with the under lying issues in this kind of content. Prayers up ❤️🙏

I've only just stumbled across your videos and Ren today, but I presume this song came about, and is set, earlier than "Hi Ren". The issues he correctly identifies here, that we (humans) are given everything we need, but we commoditize it, engage in consumerism, ignoring warnings from science that it's suicide, that things are getting dire, etc are entirely real. Recognizing them and being demoralized by them is not unreasonable. Therapy might help with coping with things like that, but I have personally found philosophy more comforting. And I do believe that he is getting there with the insights in "Hi Ren." He's right we're given everything we need. As a human, you have to do some things. You have to get enough water to drink, and food to eat each day, and you need shelter from the elements as well as some social interaction. And... that's it. Everything else is just gravy. None of the things beyond that, like being productive, gaining wealth and possessions and whatever else is required, they're all optional. Even recognizing this, the consumerist capitalist hellscape can get a bit overwhelming, but for that you need another realization: You can only control your own actions. You're responsible for your own actions, even if someone else is literally pointing a gun to your head, but you also have total control over them, and zero control over the actions of any other person. If you DID have the ability to control what other people did, it would hurt you to use it. Autonomy is not just some nice perk of being a conscious being, it is a fundamental organ of being. Control is poison, and it damages both the person being controlled and the person exerting the control. This is why there are no peaceful totalitarian police states. It's why prison guards have the highest suicide rates of any profession. It's why high schools get more dangerous, not less, the more locked down and 'secure' they are. So anyway, yes, you do not want to be able to control other people. It would destroy them and it would destroy you. You do have to deal with the consequences of the choices of others, but that is just part of the deal. If they spread misery, it is regrettable, but you can choose not to play a part in it by being mindful of your own actions and their consequences. That is not only the best you can do, it is the best ANYONE can do. There is no better path.

I really like this channel. An actual therapist being full on 100% with the reaction. Gives me faith not all therapists are useless who don't care. You are awesome 🙏

Your take on this and understanding really helped bring some perspective to important challenges we all deal with at some point in our life. Thanks for your reaction.
