Psychotherapist REACTS to NF How Could You Leave Us

[@TherapistReactsOfficial]

An update on Daisy, sorry to say that she passed away 5 months after this video was made. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXmpg32mhLt1baM

[@DavidCosterison-sp8sz]

I'm so very sorry.

[@innocentdemon918]

Rest in peace 🙏

[@JustsomeSteve]

I'm so sorry. Rest in Peace, Daisy! And to answer your question: I really liked this structure of the video. I think it is important to experience a song in full to get the emotional impact and the experience the Artist wanted you to have. Of course, if that messes with your ability to get videos monetized, then don't. Because after a while you will hopefully get in contact with labels, and they can whitelist you. So you can get at least some of those videos monetized. But if they demand that you break them up, then break them up, if there is no other way. But you have to discuss this with those labels. And if you don't know how to get in contact with labels, ask some KZbinrs like - “No Life Shaq” - “Alex Hefner” or - “TankTheTech”. From what I've heard about them, they're happy to help other Reactions channels with things like this. They also have a video where they discuss this, if you are interested: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2bQenVsapyLl6M And again I am really sorry for your loss! You are a great person. And it is great that you also show the world your vulnerable side. Because this way, a lot more people can connect with you on a more intimate level. And it really has a healing effect. I just want you to know that your videos really help people through though times, and I'm thankful for that. So thank you!

[@KristineMarieTxSPI]

I am so, so sorry for your loss. You gave her such a wonderful life and loved her so much....that was apparent. These precious ones are our family and it hurts when they go. I had a German Shepherd for 13 years and he was my strength, joy and love. Unconditionally loving. My heart goes out to you.

[@loyalboyfriendd]

i cried like a baby the first time i listened to this song, i could literally feel the pain he felt, especially when he cried.. i feel like it's the most emotional song nf has made😊

[@angiev1840]

[@landenroberts6710]

I have one dead beat parent but obviously the pain is different for NF I haven’t lost a parent like that so I don’t completely relate but it still makes me cry sometimes because of how emotional and strong the piece is

[@melvado]

I've cried every single time I've heard this song... it hits so hard....

[@LaureenaS.]

I first listened to this song, I cried. I can relate. I lost my Mum as well. On the 18th of July 2018, I think. I'm not sure. But I know it was in July 2018. And it was after my birthday, which means it was after the 6th. This song made me an NF-Fan. I still almost cry every time I hear it.

Thank you for being so honest and real. Therapists are humans too. That doesn't make them unprofessional. It depends on the time and room and if there is a patient or not. I like to see you so raw. And using skills like petting your dog just like others would do :p good old lady just knew you needed that for sure. ❤

[@TherapistReactsOfficial]

Thanks so much for the kind words. I could have cut all that out, but like you say it’s good just to be real. Plus my dog is super cool.

[@JustCrash]

I hate comments like yours, there are many other reactors who did have a lot feelings for this. You better think choice on what you say, acting like reactors must always cater towards you only.

Hi Peggy!

[@larryguimond7288]

No matter how many times I hear, I always cry.

[@dredgeninvader]

This song is by far the saddest, and most heart- destroying song I have heard in all of hip hop, you simply can’t fake the emotion he had on the track, crying through the chorus, when he yells his voice sounds choked up, to the end when he was crying and stumbling though the dialogue, which was his way of having a conversation with his mom. Music truly is the only way he was able to speak to her. Nf has a way with his songs knowing this story wasn’t fabricated or exaggerated when it comes to his emotions.

[@BallisticStigmata]

It’s especially difficult for a man to hear another man in that kind of pain. We learn to suppress our emotions our entire lives so when it’s that visceral, we empathize.

[@Jules-R]

Aw I love that your dog came to check you were ok when you were tearful. My cat does the same when I'm upset. We are blessed with these little companion souls.

[@Cannabian]

This song always kicks my ass... The worst part of addiction is the emotional neglect and not the lack of all the physical things and money. It makes so many parts of your life difficult and because life isn't fair finding love is one of those :/

[@King_Ghost777]

Thank you. I am 16 and I was waiting for this reaction. My mom was similar and she was on the same trajectory Nate's but was killed by her dealer a year ago. January 12th was the anniversary. Im also thankful because my 2 year old dog died of parvo on the 10th and i wasnt watching youtube. We buried her today and i saw this. This song is one of my go-tos when im in my depressed state. I love this song because I also still cant find it to forgive her. Much love to you man, hope your dog lives to be 25.

This is the one I needed to see and I’m so so grateful that you shared it with us. My mom is still alive, but her time is limited. I understand our relationship so much more after seeing you express your thoughts and feelings ❤

[@CurtisLoyd-fe6sz]

She was fighting her own demons. She could not see beyond the pain. She could not see her own children’s pain. This song is so powerful and hits home.

[@SINNERSAVEDBYGODSGRACE88]

This song takes so much out of me, every feeling I’ve ever had losing my brother to a heroin overdose. This song really speaks to me, but it hurts to listen to. It’s okay to cry man, because of his loss and a lot of pain I’m 342 days clean and sober because my wife and kids deserve that.

[@helpmeImpoor5314]

❤

[@death_0_048]

On the line “brought you some music so you could listen to, you started crying telling me this isn’t you” she wasn’t saying that the person she was hearing isn’t the NF she knows or that that isn’t the type of person NF is. She was telling NF that’s that isn’t her in the sense that the drug addict NF sees isn’t who she really is. Implying she is more than the drug addict she has perceived herself over the years. That’s why NFs following line “a couple weeks later guess you were singing a different tune” pretty much implying that she somewhat lied to NF saying that isn’t her or that she changed her mind by going back to the pills. Hope that helps great reaction and great breakdown regardless 🙏 if you can listen to “Mama” by NF next that would be awesome. It’s a sequel to this song and I think your background would work amazingly with breaking that one down

[@melissaboyer1139]

Yes I really really hope he does Mama soon 🥹😭 this song and mama have really helped my through my own grief process of losing my dad 🥹

That being said, I don't want to be selfish. I think you should do them however you feel works best for you and moves you more. We will all feel it if you do.

[@TherapistReactsOfficial]

Thanks Michelle. I might just do them how I feel on the day and what I’m feeling in the moment!

[@nervereacts8222]

i have heard this song 20+ times at this point and it never fails to bring me to tears him talking at the end completely off script and vulnerable is just the realest thing i have ever heard in a song

[@dennisr.4918DennyDesigns]

Most NF fans don't mind you pausing at all. I would keep pausing and giving us your thoughts. Just back it up after every pause to keep context.

[@cameronhood2234]

How could you not stop listening to NF? So much depth to unpack

[@MindfulMya]

A song of abandonment. My heart hurts for those who never had the love they needed. I hope repair and healing comes for those grieving a deep loss. ❤

[@sonnynick1]

Ty for showing emotions during this reaction. Men like myself have been programmed push our feelings deep down and not show them. I am a combat veteran who never really talked about the scares I have imprinted on my soul. I just took everything on my shoulders and carried it for 30years. It recently cost me my family and right now the hurt I feel from not having my kids here has crushed me emotionally. GOD is going to see me through this but it’s such a rough time in my life.

[@103Alex1]

Post-combat, I feel veterans desperately need re-conditioning to connect healthily with emotions, including their open expression. There is a time and place for suppression but then a time for release. It's also an essential part of handling inevitable trauma and re-integrating with civilian life in a healthy way imho. There isn't the support there needs to be - in US or in UK and the cost borne can be huge. I've spent my adult life in UK and, outside of certain ethic groups, men are becoming much more open emotionally as a cultural norm. This is slowly helping to break down the biggest barrier to coping and healing - the one which exists culturally in society outside of the military into which you are trying to return. It takes great courage to show feelings and not bottle them up inside, and without guidance and endorsement it can be hard to adapt and reconcile such a shift of response. The more societal walls are chipped away at to help clear the path, I can only hope, the easier it will become. I applaud those openly showing the way. Stay strong, God will help you do that, but he can also help you seek out kind and empathetic people for support so you can work on your emotional self and programming. That will help you help yourself in an enduring way, and that in the end is the greatest blessing of all. You can work this out 👊

[@Itzz_SAUCE]

Nf is amazing. I have been listening to him for around 7 years now. I especially got into when my parents were getting divorced. I just felt I connected to Him in a way.

[@Dragonartykay]

Your clients are very lucky to have such a compassionate and empathetic therapist. My own mum passed over 5 years ago, I was a victim of all types of abuse, and suffering trauma, I made a very conscious decision, to be as far from my mums, parenting, but also to have clear boundaries, and how ever much I thought I was doing, my daughter said she also suffered trauma from having, a twin with multiple disabilities and countless operations. I always gave my children time, understanding. We attended counselling and we both benefited greatly from this, she is now an adult and she often says she understands exactly now, and how difficult our family situation has been. She says there are not many parents that could have coped with everything. I say, you just do it one day at a time. Your video today was very heartbreaking and by the end I could feel the compassion pouring from you. Thank you. 😘😘😘

Thanks for sharing, NF has helped me so much with my life and childhood traumas. ❤

[@bethstratton3391]

Stuart I really like your tangents as you put it. I like your reactions to music whichever way you present them, but I think I like you reacting more in depth as you go along. In this track NF highlights the trauma response from abandonment and the inability to deal with neglectful self abuse on his mother’s part. It is so powerfully simple, but a real and truthful response to outer world experiences and inner loss. The trauma at losing a mum he felt he didn’t know as well as he would’ve liked, plus his genuine yearning for motherly affection as a child is told so dynamically through his lyrics. As someone whose mum thought possessions were more important than her children, I get some of his feelings regards parents putting other things first. Fortunately for me it wasn’t any as bad as pills like it was for NF. I loved my mum and she loved me but her overcrowded home, which I enjoyed but hated seeing in a mess, got in the way. Mainly, because I resented constantly having to help clear it out several times a year. My mum was an artistic creative and so fortunately, it was a clean hoard, just piles of really nice things and artists supplies everywhere, but far too many. Whole rooms were filled to the brim. We would argue about this and when my dad got Alzheimer’s the mess made it hard for me to visit sometimes. Which I resented, as I felt she was using the hoarding to hide behind and soothe her from the stress she felt at what was happening to my dad, but she wouldn’t let anyone help sort out the messes fully and help her deal with this. She would get angry when my brothers or I challenged her over it all. This made us feel sad and it really affected my CFS by piling on added stress that exhausted me. Btw I love your doggie, I am glad you are giving all the love whilst you still can. As someone who’s lost dogs in my lifetime due to old age I know what that loss is like when it comes. I still can’t get over the loss of my dogs, but seeing other people enjoy time with theirs is beautiful.

As a kid for probably a good decade, me and my brothers were supposed to go to dad’s house for the weekends. And every weekend, I’d pack my bag and sit in the kitchen looking out the window for him to drive up. He would only actually show up once every few months, but every weekend I’d pack my bag and sit at the kitchen window watching and waiting. Now at over 40, those memories still weave themselves through my life. So yeah, this song HITS.

I’ve heard it a hundred times and I’m crying now. My son died one week after his 34th birthday. He’d lost his father to an overdose 15 year’s previously. He had a son 13 at the time. He’s 20 now and we had a bit of a tiff today. I feel awful. His biological grandfather was buried one year to the day he was born . Then his own father died the same way. Gut wrenching. I’ve a 12 year old black Labrador cuddled up next to me. I don’t know how I’ll survive without this loyal lug of unconditional love. Time will tell.

I’m so grateful I got out of that part of my life and see things differently now. I’m out of the abusive relationship that had me thinking the only favor I could do the world is by ending my life.

I really do like this structure for the vids. I've been a fan of your channel for a while now, I just usually never comment. I just wanted to give my opinion now though on doing the video this way. I do think that it gives you the opportunity to experience the video and the music for what it is and how it was intended. Of course it is still a very tough watch no matter if you pause throughout but I don't feel like it would have made such a heavy impact if you were pausing throughout and giving your thoughts. Would like to see more of this video style!

I grew up the same way, except i feel like mine might be a bit worse because while nf did lose his mom completely.. mine is still alive and wants nothing to do with me. Honestly, it would hurt less if she really was dead, instead of still being alive and wanting nothing to do with me. Its the choice that hurts. His mom is dead and no longer has a choice to see him. He has no choice but to live without her because shes actually gone. Whereas my mother wants it to be this way, as if shes dead. We could have a relationship. Death isn't standing in the way of us being together, she is...

[@provenchords1]

Hey bro so two things first of all I really appreciate you being real and saying how you really feel. You said that you can't blame the mom or you can't just blame the mom which resonated so much for me this music video is probably actually I know it is the only music video I've ever seen that I cry every time I watch it and I have watched this video at least a hundred times of course the big thing is that my mother passed from an opiate overdose when I was 20. So this is a song that really hits home for me but thank you for all of the things that you said and the pieces did you added as a therapist and someone that's in the machine if you will. I'm not a fan of C PS and I doubt I ever will be. I try so hard to see the good and what they do but at the end I feel that they cause more damage than anything else. I also feel that they have powers that no humans should have and I believe that the type of power and the extent to power they have can cause people to make bad decisions. I also do not like hell someone who works for CPS that went to a 3-year college and got a degree in not even sure what it would be but maybe you know psychology or something like that and then they are given the power to make decisions that only doctors should be able to make. The system's broken so so broken and it ruins lives it ruins families it ruins lives. I couldn't imagine having a job that I wake up every day and it's my job to go and take a child away from a parent. I think I would probably become very depressed and probably try to kill myself over the destruction that me and my job would cause in other people's lives. I won't even start to say any numbers or anything like that but I've read up and studied up on these situations with CPS and it's very sad that I found it kids are more likely to be abused in a foster care home then in the original home with the parent that they were taken from. I also hate the fact that when a child is taken from their parent that it does cause emotional damage which causes emotional issues anxiety behavioral issues PTSD also depression also bipolar also ADHD. The saddest thing that I read when looking at the job of CVS and what they do in America is that the human services departments in each state are literally monetarily incentivized to take children from their parents and then placed in foster care and then finally put with a foster parent and adopted when the adoption happens the city receives basically a bonus check. And if the child has mental health issues when that happens the check is even bigger. It's a sick devastating wrong system that some states have actually gotten rid of and I hope to God that my state of Virginia at one point gets rid of it.

[@The17thcoolestname]

Great video as always, so insightful. Would love to see you react to some Ryan Caraveo in the future. "From Hll With Love," "Corner of the World," "Perfect World," and "Peanut Butter Waffles" are some of his more emotional cuts. Would be interested to hear your input on his subject matters.

[@knash97]

Great video! You should look into the artist Nolan Taylor! It'd be great for your channel. Start with Darkness, Teardrop, or 68. 68 is the song that made him blow up. It is somewhat similar to this song as it is about his lousy relationship with mother his mother and how his dad was he and his brother's safety. Darkness is a song that writing it saved his life; he was thinking of killing himself. At the same time, his girlfriend showered, but instead of ending it all he wrote the song and kept living. Teardrop is about a news story he saw about a woman found dead by suicide in her backyard and her husband finding her.

[@B-L-O-U]

With the last part of the song (the part when he speaks to his mother) he actually asked everyone to leave the studio so he could record that, who knows what else he could have said but its probably best he keeps that for himself. W video.

This song means a lot to me, I relate to it on another level, I'm turning 16 next month and found this song at a very young age. My biological father was addicted to drugs and other things and wasn't in my life for 13 years. Everyone says that I should forgive him, that he's better now, but honestly, no he isn't, he's just stopped taking drugs. Anyways, keep sharing your opinion because this song means so much to so many people and we would love to hear what you would have to say about it.❤

I still cry every time I see this music video

[@noramaldonado8291]

No I like when you pause and talk. I suffer from depression and pstd, and anxiety. So you pausing helps me take everything in, and helps

Don’t listen to the comments 😅 they are here for who you are & what you have to say, if they have a problem they can watch the video on their own. Your reaction is YOUR experience, the point of this style of content is for us to just be flies on the wall really

[@TherapistReactsOfficial]

That’s a good way to put it regarding the flies on the wall. I’ll keep that in mind. Thanks for taking the time to share and comment.

September 28th 2023, my dad died due to an overdose. Im not even in highschool yet, and he will never see me evolve as a person. He was absent and inconsistent throughout my entire life, and i never thought i would miss him as much as i do. The worst thing, if i had one more minute, maybe i could still talk to him, though if i talk to him, i will not appreciate him.

😢😭 Peace and blessings. This is my first time hearing this deep song by NF.

[@raoterri]

the juxtaposition of her smiling in the car with her death in the bedroom is very powerful.

[@melissaboyer1139]

I think you should really deep dive into NFs song Mama off his newest album, it feels like a sequel to this song. And I personally feel like it shows a lot of growth and healing ❤️ (also this song was before he became a dad and Mama is after so it answers a question you had at the end ☺️)

[@HappyDisarray]

You should do mama next. The personal growth between the songs is amazing!

[@ambershaw4769]

Great set up for the reaction x

[@Malia-o9p]

Please react to Beautiful by NF! I think it’s about his mom too and maybe even the song he showed her before she passed.

I dont sadly have a relationship with mine anymore and she was the one who broke it . she was ewxtremly maniuplative and pushed both my father and i away. not long after that i lost my soulmate who died in surgery. i cant go into detail but its only been a year and it still breaks me knowing i cant pick up the phone and call her. she was my whole world. she may not have died from drugs but this song still made me think of her beause though it was not her fault she died i still feel such a mix of stuff, pain, sadness, anger. at first when i was told my brain denied it said she had gone into hiding or some witness protection thing. i just i couldnt cope nad i still feel like that now a lot. Tomorrow will be the one year aniversary. the qoute from dawsans creek about soulamtes was also so special to us that i made a painting with the words on for her for her birthday and now it hangs on my wall with her image above it and a painting she did for me, also with her brother who was like a little brother to me next it as he died so young as well, also not his fault. two of the most important people in my life taken at such young ages. 25 and 35 :( i still keep in contact with their parents as they are family to me as well but i still miss her so much and have moments where i forget and think to call her. i havnt deleted her number from my phone i jsut cant do it.

[@saywhat7297]

I feel this song, cuz my mom left us and she had me while she was strung out on drugs and the first time I met her was when she was dying in the hospital but I forgave her to help me move forward

[@stopthecap1]

Don't let the comments about stopping too much get to your head. It's fine. I appreciate the input during the song. When you save everything for the end you might lose train of thought and forget to mention something

[@TherapistReactsOfficial]

Yeah thats the balance to try and keep. Its a bit like that phrase if you try and please everyone then you please no one. Or something like that

[@anozyra]

now you need to do the follow up song “mama” ❤

[@davidterry6155]

I watch your reactions because otherwise I can watch NF’s video. I want the insight you offer. I imagine that you are unable to show your emotions in your own practice. This is more raw. As Foster Parents we saw Trauma in our kids. We learned how to deal with trauma from TCU Karyn Purvis Trust Based Relationship Intervention. We only had severe trauma affected kids. It is tough to relate since my wife and I had good childhoods. This is why I seek your content. I want to be a better dad, I can always learn to be better.

[@TherapistReactsOfficial]

Thank you David. If you check out my other channel Therapy in Action then from next month it’s all going to be about trauma, especially developmental trauma, as that’s what I work with. You might find some helpful stuff there.

My ex-wife’s mother died from AIDS when she was 8. She was an addict. My ex went through hell. She was left home alone for days one time & was starving. Almost burned the house down trying to put scraps together.awful childhood. NF is amazing!!

[@craigkaden350]

This may be out of order but now that you have listened to this you need to listen to "Mama". I do not want to give anything way but you should check it out

[@carissamartinez2872]

Damn..I'm in tears

[@bachsoutdooradventures]

I think you should follow up with his song Mama on his newest album hope. It really shows his process of healing and forgiveness.. and will probably make you cry again. But different kind of tears.
