Therapist Reacts to The Search By NF

[@MmediumM1]

Mansion, Therapy Session and How could you leave us is a good place to start.

[@OokamiKaii]

All three really good but intense ❤ definitely worth it

[@AndreDemers-lb3bx]

Start wherever the hll ypu want on the journey. I came in on the search. Eventually went back. Stopped telling people how to experience music.

[@Nxllboot]

how could you leave us really helped me a while back because he lost his mom in a very very similar way to how I lost my dad. I’d love to see her dissect it.

[@Kody736]

idk if she's ready for the intensity of how could you leave us lol

[@NotNoahEM]

Her the whole time: 😮😮😮

[@VincentChester558]

Lol

[@YokaiBoi]

Yes!

[@XxternalYT]

That’s funnier than it’s supposed to rofl 🤣

[@cipriganea0000]

It was kinda cringe it look like he was waiting for something to go in her mouth :)😂

[@KadenVentmiglia]

​@@cipriganea0000bro what

[@christobooks]

The NF Journey.... It's a good one. NF Connects his music with visuals, lyrics and even with the various notes. These connections stretch over multiple albums and it shows how creative NF is. NF has more talent than 99% of the artists today.

[@myotismusic5019]

“Nate” by NF is one of my favorite songs by him.

[@lifetimemtb1671]

The timemachine that takes him back when he was six. Maybe even younger i guess the point of it is to tell that little kid that hes gonna take a lot of hits.

[@ericvannote8902]

NF is a therapists dream. Go back to the very beginning! Oh and welcome to the NF family!

[@DakotaDogProductionsAk83]

Mansion is next 🎉❤

[@TheRoleMan2023]

I love psychology, maybe make it my job, bu twhat I found interesting is NF is so selfreflecting!

[@TheRedneckReaper92]

⁠take it back, NF got a lot of those deep connection thoughts, since day 1

[@joshypoo1977]

If this is your first song by NF then you're in for a treat.

[@stevedave3337]

I tell everyone to give themselves grace and that no ones perfect. That you have a journey and things happen throughout the journey until you get to your destination. I don't allow myself the same grace. I'm special, I shouldn't make mistakes, I'm not allowed to show my pain.

[@HeartSupport]

From Micro: @stevedave3337 Yea, it's hard to have the same grace for ourselves as we would with others. You can see yourself believing genuinely in a certain amount of principles, and truths, but finding it particularly difficult to apply to the way you view yourself and your life. It's challenging to extend out compassion to ourselves when we feel like we don't deserve it somehow, that we need to treat ourselves differently because what applies to others, wouldn't apply to us. What you describe makes completely sense, and I'm sure a lot of people out there have experienced something similar. I include myself in it. Which may not reduce the depth of the struggle, but at least highlights the fact that this is, in itself, a struggle and profoundly human experience - not an indication of how bad or broken we may think we are. One thing is to know something as being true on the paper, but it's another process to *experience* this in your own life, body and mind. You can know in theory that you are worthy and don't need to be perfect, yet in practice finding yourself in conflict with everything you've learned about yourself, what you were told, your story as a whole. It's easy to maintain a compassionate outlook for others as it doesn't involve the way we feel about ourselves. To me personally, this duality has often made me feel like I would a hypocrite - preaching things to people I love without applying it to myself. But I was reminded many times that it's just an expression of how complex it is to be human. I think something very strong and positive in your message is that you are aware of this duality at play. You're not lying to yourself or just surrendering to the pressure you may put on your shoulders. You experience it, but you are *also* sitting on the passenger side and observes how all of this is functioning, and where the gears may not be oriented the right way - in the sense that it may not be serving you as it should, to unleash your potential and embrace the good that this life has to offer you. "I shouldn’t make mistakes", "I’m not allowed to show my pain", "I'm special" so the rules I apply to others don't apply to me... these are things you have learned, one way or another. Thankfully though, it can be unlearned too, progressively. There is a point when you can learn to recognize the patterns that are an expression of your pain, of your story, while also learning to detach yourself from it if it doesn't serve you. For you *know* already firsthand how it feels to surrender to these thoughts and principles, and that somehow there is nothing to lose for trying differently, little by little. Even if it's awfully scary and challenges our perception of what is safe for us. If anything, I see your strength and beauty. I see you. And I believe in your ability to move towards a path where you'll learn to change this narrative. You are a human being who has the right to be imperfect, broken, vulnerable - while being respected at all times. You deserve to show up to yourself the way you show up to the people you love and care about. :heart:

[@jeremybennetts4310]

so this fabulous man saved my life this yr during the hardest time i have ever been through with my child. he got me to cry so many times . every word he poetically and artistically expresses hit me so hard. i couldnt believe ive never heard of him till end last yr when i came across hope and couldnt stop listening to him non stop. i got to see him earlier this yr and it was so so so needed. i went alone but i felt so comfortable and happy around his crowd!! Thank you and thank you NF!!❤❤❤

[@troydruckenmiller1751]

NF is a man of faith. His faith helps carry him through. The more good that you do for God's kingdom the harder the attacks from the destroyer of souls. Mental health is vital but the condition of ones soul is equally important. I have seen the worst of the worst become saints that constantly save lives. Complete turnarounds.

[@jereico7587]

I have listened to this song for years now. I have watched other videos of rappers breaking down the lyrics. I have NEVER heard somebody break it down as well you just did. Your comment on the perception of movies goes way deeper than anyone else ever has and that was a huge light bulb moment for me. Thank you. I actually cried watching your breakdown because you just pulled new revelations out of me. Thank you.

[@Johnnynuez]

NF Is my favorite rapper

[@ephremyikunoamlak478]

Mine tooo❤❤❤

[@yellowmelon36]

this is one of my favourite songs because of the deeper meaning of the lyrics love

[@DeuceTreyz]

Love anything and everything by NF the tracks (Change and Only) helped me from a very depressive state borderline suicidal.

[@xScottyDontx]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Watching people listen to Nate for the first time... I remember when I found him. It was like... who needs therapy when I have NF...? Also... Mansion is the first song I heard and is a MUST if you wanna know this man. ❤ Great video. Love it. *subscribed*

[@GrowBro24]

This Album from NF helped me through my depression. Something I really could relate to, the feeling someone exactly knowing what´s goin on inside of me.

[@tanab3lle]

NF is my fav artist. He makes me feel seen. He inspires me.

[@MrTitanicfanatic2]

Gotta add my voice to the pile of people down here in the comments asking you to keep going down the NF Rabbit Hole, this man's music played a HUGE role alongside therapy in my own recovery following a su*cide attempt. His whole discography is an INCREDIBLE journey and I would love to hear your thoughts on as much of it as you're willing to cover. (Also Ren - I found his music much later but Ren and NF are both incredible artists in their own right that I will never get tired of hearing people talk about)

[@coolgirl14799]

NF has such a different aura and that’s why it just hits different, i got to see this guy in concert when he came to my city i was crying the whole time 😭❤️🙏

[@Spunky62]

I'm TOTALLY subbed for NF!🎉🎉🎉🎉🔥💯

[@sebastianmichael4129]

I always feel this song deeply every time I listen to it. It resonates with all the mental struggles I have. Well, I can say that about most of NF's music.

[@Chrisjb8583]

Welcome to the NF rabbit hole. I'm going on this adventure with you because this is my first time hearing him and will definitely be listening to more.

[@idespacito]

NF is my idol he is literally the main reason I am alive I love this man and I listen to his music constantly when I feel su1c1dal or just depressed I just sit in my room and listen to his music and it helps so much I just hope it can help others :)

[@Unc_Tim]

I love how understanding she is

[@pallmall1991]

I love the work you do! So much needed nowadays! And i love the fact, that you remind the people that there is a complete healing. I was lucky enough, to go this way and I had no bad day in my life for the last three years or even longer. Cause I have the power to create my days and a big part, that led me there was therapy. Now I try to help people to get to that point, too. Admire you and your work! ✌🏻

[@K3NZ3-rblx]

Nf is my favorite artist!

[@Rubin115]

Thanks ur reaction brings joy + makes the song so much better. Finally an authentic reaction finally a normal human reaction unlike other people.

[@TOMMY-T-BONE-k6q]

This song hits every note give me the biggest Goosebumps of any song NF is a real soldier I came straight from the bottom up you got me out of my addiction and out of my own head and I can't say how thankful I am you let me know I can save my own life

[@oshikurutensai8206]

Let You Down by NF is another impactful song

[@asterholland9081]

The thing where he mentions his house and points to his head, is referencing his song mansion, "my mind is a home I'm trapped in, and it's lonely inside this mansion" nf mansion. This song is talking about his road to recovery.

[@dj_sum_sum1751]

we all have people who speak for us you need to find who speaks for u life is truly amazing and if you can acknowledge certain things youll realize we are entering crazy times

[@ireladdy]

I really love how you can go back and forth between explaining why the things he is saying are important, and just getting genuinely hyped by how dope the song is. Great reaction!

[@michaelcarter7086]

I've been commenting for you to look at NF. So glad you have and what I love about your reaction is you hit major points right off the bat. He's cinematic. Him and his producer and even his videographer have been together since the beginning and all have grown so much from when they first started. You'll learn he goes by Nate and people refer to him as such and one thing Nate talks about is the fact that he's always loved movies and story telling so you'll find his music is very cinematic and big and he uses alot of piano and strings. He's said one of his favorite movie personalities is Christopher Nolan who did the Christian bale batman and also did inception so you'll get those types of beats and references throughout his discography. But you'll also find that going back and listening to the NF journey will help you learn more about how everything fits in his videos. His whole music selection is meant to tell a story and even when you think a song doesn't fit his journey, you'll learn it actually does play a big role in how his music has molded into the sound you now hear. You've found a big artist to help build your page and your message and I hope you dive in further whether it's actually taking the journey as it's intended or if you bounce around. I'm here for it!

[@DevinStroble]

So I wanna start by saying I love this song as I relate to it so much. I'm 29 and have been doing live on my own since I was 15. I've struggled with a severe chronic depression as long as I can remember and have always felt like my life has been a search, for a place to belong, peace of mind and in general a better life than I had yesterday. I'm 29 years old grew up with military men and rough necks. I cried when you put together the part of being cinematic and and a search and the difference between reality and a movie I can't thank you for making me feel like I'm not the only one who sees this in life.

[@michaelfabish-wood4444]

I’ve listened to this song once a day since it dropped. Not necessarily because of my mental concerns(although this helps), this is a pinpoint precision rap song with a world class epic beat.

[@inuslava]

Please listen to his ALL albums, its incredible how hes evolving with EVERY song. Its a therapist's wet dream, believe me. The amount of self awarness he has about himself is insane. He actually taught me how to be more self aware about myself through his music.

[@Darkangel66633]

This song gets me so excited

[@palmosmostlyminecraft]

One of my favorite quotes is from this song. "The point I'm making is the mind is a powerful place, and what you feed it can effect you in a powerful way" PURE GOLD you should do WHY soon, Nate with a black smile represents fear and lays down on a swing at the end of WHY like how that one girl in white laye down on the swing in this music video. When he says "look at me everybody I'm smiling big!" during The Search, it's really the fear that everyone is seeing that took over him.

[@chrisgotski9837]

NF is Brilliant he's one of my Favorite Artists.

[@tomheming]

Your reactions are amazing - just watched all your NF reactions and subbed. Keep up the amazing work! I've been going to therapy for a little over a year now, it's tough but I'd recommend it to anyone. Life is difficult - it's okay to need help with stuff

[@thew.i.s.ecommunity7986]

I've heard this song a hundred times and I don't know if this is bc of where i am in my life right now. But I'm in the gym working out and your breakdown has tears streaming down my face. I have been in this self destructive pattern financially, with my health, with my relationships for 40 years. This hit so hard and I'm realizing I can't do this by myself. I'm not getting anywhere

[@HeartSupport]

From bmao: @thew.i.s.ecommunity7986 Hey, thank you so much for opening up and being so open with us. First, I just want to give you a big congrats for going to the gym and working out. I know that personally, working out is huge for my mental health, along with my physical health. I'm able to clear my brain, focus on myself, and feel good about what I've done for the day- so major props to you on that aspect. I'm sorry that you've found yourself in this pattern for so long. It may almost feel like whenever good starts to come and whenever you begin to build a streak of happiness, you are just waiting for yourself to tear all of your progress back down. That often leaves us feeling like our own worst enemy. I want you to know that you are not the enemy here. Your realization of "I can't do this by myself", is very poignant and can be so hard to cope with, but I think truth lies at the root of it. We as humans were not created to live a life of solitude. We are social creatures who rely on interconnectedness and meaningful relationships to thrive. Society often heaps pressure on us to fully bear our own cross and get through life without assistance. But that is not the life we were created for. We were created to lean on each other, build each other up, and be each other's support system. So I would encourage you to reach out and be vulnerable with others in your life. And if you feel like you don't have anyone in your life, I want you to know that you have every one of us here at HeartSupport. We care about you and are always here to walk through anything you may be dealing with. I hope this realization helps you turn a new page in your life; a page that details self-fulfillment, empowerment, and betterment rather than destruction. No habit is too old to break, and I know that you can find happiness for yourself and peace in your actions. We love you and care for you. We wish you nothing but the best and we will be here for you for anything you may need.

[@HeartSupport]

From runner12: @thew.i.s.ecommunity7986 Thank you for reaching out! Im sorry you’ve been stuck in a self destructive pattern. I understand how that can feel hopeless and frustrating, but it’s a great sign that you were in the gym working out! Just taking one step in the right direction can shift our whole momentum! So often the first step is the most difficult because it can seem impossible and overwhelming, but once we move, even just the tiniest bit in a new direction, we’ve interrupted the self destructive pattern. How do you feel after working out? Do you notice it helping your thoughts? When I feel trapped, working out really helps once I get started. My favorite saying is “ We don’t have to feel good to get started, but we have to get started to give ourselves a chance at feeling good.” You’ve taken steps by going to the gym and by reaching out here and realizing you can’t do it alone! That’s something to be proud of! You are not alone and there is so much hope for you! Total Change may not happen overnight but we have to celebrate every step forward because life is hard! But each time you choose to work out or reach out you are defeating the darkness and self destruction and it keeps getting easier.I promise you it’s worth it. I encourage you to celebrate each step and be proud of recognizing that you want to change! You gave support here and I’m behind you 100%!

[@HeartSupport]

From sangasugarbog: @thew.i.s.ecommunity7986 I appreciate you reaching out, it takes a lot of strength and courage to do that. It's so easy to bring ourselves down, it seems as if it's of nature for humans to self-destruct. It's almost satisfying to spend ourselves out to bring a sense of temporary fulfillment, but unfortunately, it doesn't last, so we keep repeating our habits. I promise that this will not last. While it may seem that you are not getting anywhere, I ensure you that you are growing, and making progress. Everyone's growth is different, unique, and individual. We are all here for you, and we all love you. Keep shining your bright light, I believe in you :heart:

[@ericshayneelliott6630]

His videos and music are indeed a journey and often tell a continuing story of truth, reality, and true hope. Great share and analysis.

[@RuanNaude-c7u]

Yea I have something that keeps coming back its the fact that my family calls be a lost case and keeps saying that I will never have a bright future but my mom dad grandma and sister always tell me your more than enough and that their so proud of me

[@MZ-bl6wg]

As a single dad of daughters that are my life 💜, the NF Journey I can truly say has saved my life, literally. Excited as a new sub to see you , a therapist with a beautiful heart get into the NF mental health journey! Let me add tho, get your tissues ready! Truly. 💜

[@MrBrutalMachinee]

Idk if you picked up but his actually talking with his alter personality that is depression, traumas, ocd, anxiety and panic attacks and those all together becomes that alter personality that is constantly trying to pull him under. Nates self reflection skills are so good and how he brings so much of it out on his songs is just perfect, man knows how to tell a story too. Also Nate won't release anything if it's not perfect for his own standard and that's actually holding him so much back sometimes.

[@Abriella-x4y]

nf is a very scarred man bc of his drugy mom his is my role model he has been my role model since 2019 i love him he encourages me so much☺

[@14ycuaselppa]

2:39 If you listen to Mansion, one of Nate’s other songs, there’s a line that says “My mind is a home I’m trapped in” so it connects to this song.

[@ctip928]

This song has been my anthem for a while now. Definitely been an up and down ride with divorce, betrayal, and heartbreak. I've become so closed off to opening up to people because those thoughts you mentioned have always given me a feeling of not being good enough. In therapy now getting better day by day but still so far to go. I will be nothing but successful.

[@Keevynfisher-ks2dy]

Let you down, when I grow up, mansion therapy session,careful, hope and tons more u should check them out its amazing

[@IDKBOXING]

I love how we could just watch nf videos since they are basically short movies with a full story behind it

[@rollinthrone5109]

For us who Kno, everything ur speaking on we can't wait 4 u 2 put it all 2gether 😁😉

[@garrettjames8291]

NF music has recently been used in rehab to explain feelings and self worth and the results have been amazing…. I speak from experience

[@garrettjames8291]

I could really use a therapist, do you have any recommendations I live in Indiana

[@MIDAH336]

This album honestly turned my life around. I highly recommend continuing it!

[@BenHanson-y3v]

i wish i could hear this song for the first time again

[@Saavvas]

Same

[@DavidPilcha]

It’s awesome to see how people from different walks of life react to music. Also very clever use of your computer camera as a second angle camera.

[@ba7672]

Here comes the journey.. NF about to take you down the rabbit hole... He is sooo good

[@OrbitalDropper]

When I began watching this video, I was excited how you would react to the "clean up my yard get the noose out, hang up my heart let it air out" part

[@SR-cz5sp]

I just found NF a week or so ago. You are the first reactor I've found that is just now hearing his music...I hope that you follow the NF journey. I'd like to watch someone react to his stuff in real time. Spoiler Alert : Tons of amazing stuff ahead, with MEANING...this dude has decided to leave the "filler" behind and turn himself inside out in plain view....showing us very very familiar things.

[@johnnyras66]

Absolutely take the NF journey...savor every step. And when you get to Hope, pick your jaw up off the floor.

[@gamepro0915]

Also I love the fact that he Never curses in his songs one of the few rappers that doesn't curse/swear

[@bstocker123]

One of a handful of songs that give me chills everytime!

[@SKAR--dt6bh]

Do a NF Journey please!! One of the best lyrical artists I have every heart. He saved so many people and is a huge inspiration to many about menthal health

[@VariableChange88]

i used to be suicidal and bands and artists like NF, famous last words, lamb of god, black dahlia murder pulled me out of it ty to the world ty to your channel, ty to the great people in the world

[@AnitialDeez]

This whole album in order is a must

[@AugusteCribbs]

Please please please follow the rest of Nate's journey through his albums, there's so much packed into each one and it goes in a proper order, enjoy

[@vafuthnicht7293]

I first heard this song when I was listening to the set list for a music festival and was bawling in my car on my way to work. So good so powerful

[@drmessyobgyn7203]

Just found your channel tonight. You are amazing. Please keep up these videos. Our reactions to music are so similar and I vibe off of seeing the same energy that I felt when I first heard a song. Much love from STL.

[@sarahquevedo5933]

The amount of hours I’ve spent angry cleaning n crying listening to this man is more than I’d like to share.

[@alexcanarick6206]

I needed this today. I went to work and got pulled into the office basically saying they want to let me go because my boss gave me the wrong information and let me mess the job up the search. I’m on now it’s happiness and balance.

[@azure5584]

Your front camera is missing some frames lol but hey, thank you for zooming in on just pure therapeutic music and analyzing it. Really liking this, well, "trend" of licensed therapist picking up music and the morre of you are out there, the better it is for all of us so thank you for your work!

[@Warwickoosthuizen2]

she looks confused and amazed at the same time

[@LowkeyBadass]

I watch a lot of reactors to music Bcs of the way they explain and break it down. But you !! You have become my favorite

NF - How Could You Leave Us

[@amosx7054]

Looking for the map to hope. Wow. That gave me chills.

[@JeremyOlivo]

I love NF and have experienced depression for years

[@Thunderrider-2318]

13:00 I second this. Villains are there to show how bad we CAN be, not how bad we WILL be.

[@AshrekaKuku]

I relate to all nf songs. The only person i know he can relate to me 99% in the world. As i know

[@CinderFall291]

A lot of his music videos, including the early ones, link together. You could say he's made a music video movie spanning several parts.

[@mattbeauchamp3938]

So I started seeing a counselor, she told me I'm a difficult person to understand, I asked her to listen to this to understand better. NF nailed it in this one, and alot of his others

[@LeahRobb]

Very good analysis! And Nate is a genius!

[@DirtyBeans]

So i just found this channel listening to Ren. I somehow feel validated hearing someone speaking my exact toughts abous a song. Btw Just subscribed

[@SP-it1oq]

My favorite NF song by far

[@MRmatt09ish]

Follow the journey in order, it helps you understand and he often refers to his old songs! The full journey is amazing!

[@jasonhaynes26]

Welcome to nf. I got a page of songs that would be amazing to dive into, let you down, hope, happy, why, leave me alone, intro part 3, my stress, paralyzed, when i grow up. Hes a mental health warrior!

[@ripostarq261]

Your energy is on another level❤ Nf is dope af! Pozdrowienia z Polski

[@BallisticStigmata]

Ever since I started watching you I’ve been wanting you to react to this. I knew you would love it.

[@Finn-x2i]

Nf is fricken amazing and an awesome rapper

[@Yagerbombs83]

him pointing to his head and calling it his house... is actually also a call back to his song Mansion. Where he explains how his mind is like a mansion. Look up the NF journey, it's a list of his songs where you can follow him along his mental health journey. It's a ride and one that helped me so much.

[@nasssMill17]

You must react to to returns! Nf pieces his brain apart sometimes hearing the song helps sort my brain out🔥🔥🔥

[@aaronallsbury9238]

Please do more NF he’s my favorite artist hands down

[@suzieq804]

You referenced the movies and their sequels.....we'll that is the whole NF Journey if you so choose to take it. I'm 52 yrs old and in 2019 I stumbled upon NF after coming through getting clean off of heroine and I can't even tell you how much take that Journey helped me. I also battled mental illness my whole life and I wished there would have been an artist around when I was a teenager that I could have related to like I can with him as I do now at my age. I never thought that at my age I would find such a love for hip hop but I have. Take the entire Journey from the beginning his story is so emotional and relatable....Nate is one of the most REAL artist I think that I've ever known and I find myself looking g up to how in touch he is with his feelings and the fact that he can express things in ways to this day I still haven't been able to express the way that Nate does. He is truly a beautiful soul and he has made me feel accepted in my own headapace or house as he puts it which his song Mansion will completely explain.

[@ashhoegg5281]

i think u would enjoy and find lots of meaning in his song "lost" with hopsin. regards from a fellow therapist in guatemala :D

[@greysonpowell1044]

The movie analogy made me think about how when you’re worried that the characters are going to die, you just see that there is more movie. We have to remember that we also have more time in our movie.

[@bbullet14]

Let You Down. Check out that one. A lot to uncover there.

[@michaeldettore5224]

Nfs songs are so powerful. You need to do his songs *suffice, pandemonium,layers,know* a few of my favorites

[@elistockwell3519]

This is honestly the perfect song to start off with nate. Shows a sense of what he is capable of. Definitely do the “NF journey” you can google it for the full list. You will LOVE him. Subbed

[@xtldc]

I always like to recommend his song Change (which he mentions in The Search).

[@83licata]

That whole album is a therapy session from NF. Another NF song, it's an older one, but it's called "How Could You Leave Us." It's about his mom overdosing when he was a child, NF has since forgiven his mom, but it's a great song!

[@cruxknight0354]

So, commenting on the cinematic congruency... that's the genius of Tommee Profitt. His resume and discography are insanely good. His Christmas album is top tier. You're welcome in advance

[@jbrewer8941]

"Imma gentleman depending on if I think you're genuine"-- 💯

[@jkosh2046]

Let the NF journey begin.
