Yes, his mother was an addict and abandoned him and his brother when he was baby. It's funny because all the things you said about childhood trauma/abandonment, he lays it all out in The Westerner and it's almost exactly how you put it. Willow with the eyes at the end is his fear that he's passed on his addictive tendency to her as he believes his mother did to him. I Don't Mind is a great song that discusses that and I think you'd like to dig your teeth into that one as well. I mean, you can't go wrong with any of his songs and all of them really paint the picture of his life and who he is. And yes, you were spot on. The drugs he means are anything that takes over our lives and he mentioned social media specifically as an example.

[@tedgreen4996]

His song brother as well.

[@ViceVibes420]

Keep doing more Falling In Reverse!!! His newest two “Zombified” and “Voices In My Head” are phenomenal!!! You would enjoy them!

[@rck69]

He reacted to his new song on his “new Friday live stream”

[@TYCOLAUGH]

Not even a huge fan but the song zombified is one I really like lately

[@its_xample]

Agree!

[@joshrix5631]

Today's there is watch the world burn 🫣🔥

[@Emil_Stoltz]

"Accept the pain just to feel again" Such a heavy line.

[@spirituskuruk5170]

Corey Taylors portion always gives me chills, the contrast with their voices is too good imo.

[@YeahButCanISniffUrPantsFist]

Yessss

[@15rlinton]

The way you smiled when the actual song started was soo pure and joyful!! I'm loving your reactions!!

[@ReactionTherapyOfficial]

Thank you!😊👍

[@lelareau3820]

Ronnies Mom was a drug abuser, like his Dad was too, but his Mom left the family when Ronnie was still a baby. The end of the video is his fear that Willow could get addicted too cause of genetic predisposition.

[@Whatareyouumadeof]

Dude I never thought about the end like that. That’s actually brilliant, and watching the flashbacks from the other videos as her eyes glow seems to support that this is exactly what is going on

[@sam-spooniesoaps-8382]

I laughed way too hard when you said “What could I get offended by?” I couldn’t help thinking, just wait you don’t know what you’re in for. The American Dream is the drug he’s referring to primarily, but even that’s a metaphor for all of us trying to achieve the ideals we set for ourselves and killing ourselves (literally and figuratively) to get there.

[@SoWavvyy]

When he said "I disagree" in the video and reaction therapy hides his cross.

[@achmetlachdoch920]

@@SoWavvyy its not hiding bro.

[@nobodyimportant1337]

Yay! We’ve reached the end of the trilogy!!! Congrats!!! First off: Screamy guy - Corey MF’n Taylor from Slipknot. Ronnie’s mom left when he was 8 mos old. She was an addict. He doesn’t have a relationship with her. His dad raised him and his brother. Dad had addiction problems, brother had addiction problems. Dad is clean. Brother got clean, but died in a car wreck shortly after Ronnie’s daughter was born. So this trilogy is him dealing with his own addiction (Losing My Mind)defiance, doing his own thing. Hitting bottom and going to prison (Losing My Life). Getting clean and changing his life, facing his demons (Drugs) but worrying that he has passed the cycle of drug abuse to his daughter since addictions can be passed on. His mom is alive, but from what I know, he’s only met her once. Ronnie is amazing in what his have overcome and what he has achieved. He is brutally honest about himself, the good, bad and the very ugly. That’s why people love him so much. He is genuine in everything. That and his incredible talent❤️

[@kekw2064]

btw the guy that came up and sang before the chainsaw is Corey Taylor, lead vocalist for Slipknot

[@SparkimusPrime]

I already got PTSD 😂 She is his reflection. In the sense that he has to model himself, for lack of a better word, so that he doesn’t make the same mistakes as his mom, and he, did when it comes to Willow. 🖤

[@Whatareyouumadeof]

Someone somewhere pointed out that the bit with Willow at the end was Ronnie’s fear of his daughter going through everything he went through because of genetic predisposition. It makes perfect sense that and kinda blew my mind

[@SparkimusPrime]

@@Whatareyouumadeof Exactly.

[@commanderalien]

Dude you are now my favorite reaction channel because we can all disagree and still be kind

[@ReactionTherapyOfficial]

Amen! I like that!!😊👍

[@xariexis]

It's so AWESOME to see that you completely got his message! Yes, drugs = media, social media, TV, literal drugs, alcohol, relationships, sex, ANYTHING we get lost into to avoid facing our reality. Also, Oooh, please react to his song "I don't mind" -- and the newest one just released, "Voices in my head" this one is about hypochondria and facing past selves. :D

[@ReactionTherapyOfficial]

Nice take! Thanks so much Veronica 😊👍

[@23NinjaSniper]

My take on the trilogy is that he was killing himself with his addiction he was able to stay clean but it never really goes away then his daughter is born and he completely shifts life around and becomes a better person for himself and for his daughter but I think he fears his addiction might have passed to his daughter. Honestly Ronnie is living proof of given a second chance you can make the most of it. He is a real life Phoenix.

[@AshleyyNicolee]

FUCK YEAH IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SINCE I COMMENTED ABOUT IT ON THE SECOND TRILOGY VIDEO I NEVER CLICKED A NOTIFICATION SO FAST IN MY LIFE

[@murder13love]

Falling in reverse - brother would be another glimpse into his life

[@grantgoodman7543]

FALLING IN REVERSE - VOICES IN MY HEAD NEW SONG. You will find so much to talk about in it and love it!

[@bonez_westoz]

Man your enthusiasm and outlook , unbiased and un judged , i wish i had a therapist like you , you make me feel good my brother , thank you for doing this , much respect from Western Austrailia Mental Health needs people like you , 💚🙌

[@kennyaustin7420]

I've said it once, I'll say it again. This is my favorite reaction channel. Your energy is contagious. I can't help but smile. Falling in Reverse has been my favorite band since 2011. Also, I would love to see your reaction to some of his solo stuff from his rap mixtape. Just a suggestion! Keep rockin'. Ronnie does watch quite a bit of reactions on his Twitch. Hopefully he notices you!

[@the.odd-acity]

I second this! Who Can Stop Us by Ronnie with B.Flay and Deuce is one of my favorites.

[@KeatonArmstrong96]

You should do Falling In Reverse’s “The Drug In Me Is You” original version first and then the “reimagined” version!

[@spooky-sc5pv]

man i respect you so hard for your willingness and ability to accept others’ views and beliefs

[@AshleyyNicolee]

I’ve been having a rough few days so this made me happy thank you for the timing 🤣 highlight of my week right here. I shall be back in 20 minutes with my thoughts lmao

[@samuelengle3773]

When he says Everybody's on drugs, he is talking that everyone has a vice to escape with...an addiction. Some are good and some aren't...but everyone has one.

[@zerocool51]

My takeaway from the ending is, that no matter what you do, how hard you fight, it never ends, it is a constant battle. Life, addiction, parenthood, setting a good example. The guy screaming is Corey Taylor, lead singer of Slipknot, Stone Sour, and he tried his luck as a solo artist recently. His life story is also a very good topic for you. He was dismissed, neglected, raped at the age of 10, tried to commit suicide at a young age, and that was only the beginning.

[@the.odd-acity]

I cannot wait to see your reaction to "Voices in my head". Please crank that out. Ronnie is an absolute musical genius.

[@erinfrostad9566]

I just want to say that i love watching your videos, they are super entertaining and keep up the amazing work!

[@hillbillytigerr]

Wow what a great song and a perfect reaction video to analyze and break it down for us. That was awesome Tom, keep doing what you do because you are touching so many people with your videos!

[@AshleyyNicolee]

The other dude in the video is Corey Taylor he is the vocalist for the band SlipKnot

[@MaxedEntropy]

I love the pure happiness music seems to give you, i'd honestly love to see a reaction to more of their songs, they're all so well composed and with fantastic video's to accompany them. I personally really love the revamped version of im not a vampire

[@patriciamonje6741]

Omg I just found this account. And I'm only a few mins into this video but i had to say this. I personally love falling in reverse and was really interested to see what you had to say about their songs. Watching you love the song and rocking out with it made me so happy. It just looked like pure joy and brought a huge smile to my face. I can't wait to watch some more of your reaction videos. You seem like such a genuine person and I feel like you are definitely someone this world needs

[@JamesM0331]

Love your reactions they are real and I love your outlook and open mindedness difference of opinions do not really matter we can all enjoy things in different ways

[@alessandrorinaldi842]

The psychoterapist that vibes to this has all my respect

[@fyonaravyn2338]

Your enthusiasm is infectious! LOVE IT!! 💙

[@blairsy7836]

I just love your enthusiasm for the music. Makes me smile. Thank you! 🔥❤️🤘

[@barryalan6399]

hey Doc I think he is saying that this plight is never ending. I have been sober for over 30 years. I'm 60, I still suffer from the character defects that a self abusive live style imbeds in your soul. Sorry Doc never met a therapist yet that can even admit these defects are real. Love your show though rock on Doc

[@ReactionTherapyOfficial]

Thanks so much for these comments, appreciate you!😊👍

[@shsch492]

the ending mirrored the last video when his daughter was an adult. she said you have been asleep for a very long time. Now she is young again, but is not demonic. All to say he is still asleep and hasn't woken up.

[@carltonj0nes87]

Thanks for this Doc, we love these great reactions !

[@kathleenclark815]

They are so good in concert. I saw them in February in Hollywood. Such a good show. Seeing them again in August in Vegas!

[@OrbiTiZZeD]

this is great. do Voices In My Head , it just came out and Ronnie reacts on steam to reactors whenever a new song releases

[@animeaustin7061]

You should do a reaction to the 2 sets of songs I listed below to see how Ronnie can not just rap but sing too. ‘The drug in me is you’ and then ‘the drug in me is reimagined’ ‘I’m not a vampire’ then ‘I’m not a vampire revamped’

[@destinyhuff4731]

OMG I HAVE WAITED FOR THIS YESSS!

[@deadbeatcupcake]

You made my night! Thank You!

[@ChronicBaron]

You never fail to put a smile on my face, and for that I thank you.

[@atlasgaming5412]

His reaction 😂 when the mother say "Drugs" Killed me 🤣

[@plumchip2913]

another great video man. i love seeing them in my sub box when im having a bad day (:

[@edwardfordyce6174]

The fact that you said you don't fix people you help them get past it is the smartest thing I ever heard when it comes to mental health help. Thanks.

[@sh0rty.9]

I’m so happy you reacted to the trilogy. Thank youuu!!!

[@deadbeatcupcake]

Also that dude is Corey Taylor from Slipknot.

[@bridgettethrush5605]

I absolutely love your reactions to Falling in Reverse

[@samitchdog]

how long have you dont therapy if i can ask. i love your open mind and reactions to things. ive felt suicidal for yeas and been depressed even longer but love your take on things, love you content please dont stop.

[@AbxiolyticEpi]

Man you are so cool. I love seeing older generation getting down with newer music because i love a lot of the older music. Ronnie especially is a very psycholyrical so his music makes you think and gets you pumped up

[@Feverm00n]

It’s so fun to watch you enjoy this song as much as I do haha. It’s such a bop and such a great music video. This song really speaks to me. I think it would be cool if you watched/listened to Falling In Reverse’s The Drug In Me Is You and the Reimagined version of it. The differences between the two and the way that the same words can feel so different depending on where you are and what you’ve experienced. And revisiting a sort of “past self.” The Reimagined Drug In Me Is You music video is so so good. And based on how you’re reacting to this, you’d probably really like how that song culminates.

[@hannahm753]

You mentioned you wanted to see them in concert, so, I thought I'd comment and mention that they're going to be on tour this year! They're going on the "Rockzilla" Tour with Papa Roach. I hope you get a chance to see them! I'm sure it would be mind blowing! Thanks for covering such an amazing band. This was one of the first songs I heard and I fell in love with FIR.

[@ReactionTherapyOfficial]

😁😁😁

[@kathleenclark815]

I'm going to the Vegas show!

[@ReactionTherapyOfficial]

@@kathleenclark815 you are soooo lucky!😊

[@blackknight1013]

He does mean everyone is on drugs, as in a large case this is true. That ranges from those taking illegal drugs right through to those being spoon fed legal drugs from big pharmaceutical corporations. Many of which are just as addictive as the illegal drugs. Heck, you can't go in any house without finding some drugs, even if it is just headache tablets.

[@thisbuzzbuzz5921]

Love that you do this love this band.

[@Pineapple_Thief]

Finally!! You gotta watch completely to the end, though.

[@attackonshawn7836]

Hey! I've been waiting for you to post this - fantastic reaction! I love love love when I see someone who has different beliefs (in this case, religion) and doesn't let that get in the way of their ability to enjoy the content and really try to see what the person is going through from their perspective. You're a gem of a person, and I hope you never change. On a side note for a personal request - I'm not sure if you've ever reacted to electronic music - but I'd love to see you react to 'Illenium - Lonely'. I think you could put some deep thought into the song, and would love to see what you have to say about it, even if you don't react on youtube! Thank you :)

[@crunchtime2041]

such a freaking vibe

[@Alistair102040]

The ending means he's afraid his daughter is gonna struggle with drugs again and history will repeat itself with her.

[@smoothoper8r5]

You nailed the meaning on this song. At the first chorus now, and you mailed it.

[@Mrvirole]

It’s 6am and I’m struggling to get out of bed to go to work . I normally listen to scp explained in the shower so I open KZbin and here this is. What a way to get going this morning. I’m ready now.

[@_.im_tired._]

I definitely did not start wheezing when he broke out the chain saw 😂

[@vonbitz273]

I like your reaction😅 keep doin it especially FIR! you rock🤟

[@user-ju9nj8sb9x]

That mom part always puts tears in my eyes.

[@hollysteckowski8467]

I love your reactions and yes yhe trilogy was his trauma story

[@bloodnikita]

Got to love those cliff hangers Ronnie gives us

[@peterdziondziakowski5657]

The ending always breaks me into my feelings. This guy is amazing

[@tonnaboy10]

When you put your cross inside I literally laughed out loud 😂

[@amandalowerygage4425]

I went and saw FIR live back in January. Great show!! Ronnie Radke is beyond talented and is setting the bar for music today. His lyrics and the genre jumping. He is a legend.

[@jodimccoy1636]

You should do The Drug in Me and The Drug in Me is Reimagined. And I'm Not A Vampire and I'm Not A Vampire Revamped! Seeing the differences from the originals and redone versions of those will blow your mind completely!!!! Ronnie is a genius!!!!

[@timothyconklin5652]

The guy that randomly pops up is corey taylor. He is the lead singer of slipknot, stone sour, and has his own solo stuff. You should really react to his stuff especially his acoustic version of snuff. You will love it.

[@mixmatchedmusic]

Loving the videos, this channel has become my favorite reaction channel. I would love to see you react to King Iso, he has insane rhyme schemes and most of his songs are about real topics. One of the best imo

[@timothystiegler4913]

it loops back into losing my mind, if you listen at the very end its the start of losing my mind again

[@TeamAurorapk]

okay wow totally unexpected reaction style belief and breakdown of the more subliminal meanings. you are awesome thank you

[@thothmark]

That was his dark side with the chainsaw and killing the ignorance of his light side.

[@rhyshutchin5]

Awesome reaction as always. A song I highly recommend from Ronnie and FIR is The Westerner. Great insight into his life!

[@hackzan2475]

Keep doing more Falling In Reverse) They released "Voices In My Head"! Such a good song

[@joeroby7282]

Going to see them in 2 weeks. These 3 falling in reverse are my top 3. Especially popular monster

[@chrisl3193]

It killed me when you slowly put your cross out of view under your shirt 😂😂😂

[@aidenhoffman312]

Now you gotta look at Voices in my Head!!!

[@Dr_xD_]

Onto the drug in me is you and then reimagined, then I'm not a vampire and then revamped followed with zombified and the newest hit voices in my head. Then you'll be justtt about caught up, they have alot of amazing other songs as well but those are the ones I always see people react to the most.

[@IIIuminate123]

He did voices in my head already on stream

[@VladVladut]

Hey, Tom, great job with this channel. I've been slowly progressing through the channel ever since I stumbled upon your Eminem's Deja vu reaction. I thought it was an interesting twist to see a mental health professional discuss about that song using his professional spectrum to see the picture. Listening to a lot of rap music, myself, I kept checking your channel. I know this video is a little old, but I just wanted to tell you I was glad to see you tackle this musical genre, too (and Falling in reverse in particular!). Metal, just like rap, has a lot of songs and bands using the power of sound and words to present some of the "uglier truths" out there, topics that commercial music may want to stay away from (and that's understandable). Anyway, just wanted to give you my kudos and a handful of suggestions if you want to keep diving into the metal genre rabbit hole: Northlane - Bloodline (video included) Shinedown - Monsters (this band has many other songs on topics you may find interesting, but I think this song, in particular, will help you check if you vibe with them or not) Asking Alexandria - Alone in a room (the acoustic version) Keep it up, you're doing fine!

[@sch7194]

Great reaction my friend...Ronnie is king 🔥🤘🔥

[@nathanielvines9122]

i first watched your reaction to The Amity Affliction and i think you would absolutely be able to breakdown there song Drag the lake. Such heart weighing song but strong on the mental health factor!

[@Feverm00n]

Also, I REALLY wish the interlude of the music video (where he’s talking to his estranged Mom on her deathbed) was included in the actual song. It’s fantastic. Also also, thanks for bringing awareness to mental health. Here in the US there’s such an issue with emotional illiteracy, a lack of even basic mental health education or understanding, and a lack of support and it’s contributing to an absolute epidemic of trauma, generation after generation. And I can confirm from my own experience that trying to climb out of the life ruining pit that prolonged childhood trauma and toxic stress leads to is brutally difficult.

[@jaredmortimer717]

For sure need to react to: The drug in me is Reimagined, I'm not a vampire Revamped, Zombified, Voices in my Head!

[@DarkAngel1985Mike]

Love this song with my history of depression anxiety and suicide attempts

[@slackywozere]

to understand him more listen to a song from his first cd " The Day I Left the Womb " when he was in escape the fate

[@haileyp7581]

Omg I laughed so hard when you tucked your cross in 😂💀

[@izurutanaka6831]

You should listen to voices in my head from falling in reverse

[@evematice6104]

Ronnie and Falling in reverse just dropped a new song. Voices in my head. Its awesome!! I would really love for you to react to- I'm not a vampire (2011)and I'm not a vampire revamped (2020). Same lyrics done in a completely different way. Mind blowing. Also- The drug in me is you (2011) and The drug in me reimagined (2020) Same as above, Same lyrics done in a completely different way. Also mind blowing. I just love your reactions. You're awesome. Thank you.

the bridge with his mom brings me all the time tairs in my eyes 😢

[@willmunkholm5958]

I haven't seen it mentioned yet so I will be the one: the guest singer is Cory Taylor the lead singer of both Slipknot and Stonesour. He is an amazing vocalist with amazing writing. If you wanna look at pain check out the song Snuff by Slipknot

[@scroo5906]

Falling in reverse I’m not a vampire (original & revamped version)

[@gamerftw9006]

Honestly can't over how good the music video is. Zombified was insane too! A band from the same management called October Ends just released a new song and it's a banger too. Would love to see you react

[@_.im_tired._]

THEY ARE COMING TO CONCERT IN AUGUST ALL MONTH AROUND AMERICA.

[@Blackhorselove1]

If you love the visual metaphors in this video, you’ll love “Voices in my Head”! Patiently waiting for your reaction to it. :”)

Would love to see a reaction to "I'm not a vampire revamped" it gives a great picture of his struggle with addiction.

[@lyssa5054]

Please do a falling in reverse, voices in my head video. I would really love to see your reaction to that one!! 😮❤

[@devbeast9762]

I was always a fan of Ronnie. He got me through some really rough times with his music. Then he called me a racist on social media. Turned me off for a while but I can’t help but enjoy his music and the messages in it.
