Therapist Becomes Unsainted by Slipknot

Therapist uses Unsainted by Slipknot to discuss how often we want to tell the people around us how to heal and we try to force them to heal in the same way that we found healing. As well-intentioned as this may be it can often lead people to feel even more alone and isolated and prevent them from recognizing their own path to healing. Healing is not one size fits all. It is better to ask someone how you can support their healing journey instead of telling them what the right way to heal is.

[@projectorbach4041]

she seems to dig it. who knows or cares if she will fall in love. You? Very cool. upward- The gift in this video is the end. The song is one of the best. I am not comparing slipknot to slipknot digested. But she reads these songs really well. I think her goal is to be a therapist and watch Slipknot videos... to reveal different persepctives.. I know... what a sick puppy. Now I don't see her calendar that marks the day she is officially a superfan, but it must be somewhere or else she sucks right bois? At the end... where the views plummet, she talks about interesting stuff that goes beyond the obvious subject matter that I didn't initially take from the song. Watch the end. Maybe you will. hehehe.... or don't. Just don't let spite make your decision. Or who knows. Maybe you just get all songs because you are so xXx and I don't becasue I don't like them enough.... or lack other perspectives at times ;) Botch a fart

[@osamaqtaitat]

Metal has a noise, beauty, power, weakness, melody, vulnerability, strength, dynamic, heaviness, calmness, fast, slow, all emotions, complexity, simplicity, drama! It has it all! And i mean all of the genres generally! It’s a rare thing and you have to find the most versatile band or artists!! It makes you cry and that you can conquer the world at the same time because it has all the contradictions, and a lot of the time in one single song; of course in different degrees and shapes!

[@KershawsGoat]

This song has a special place for me. I left a high-demand religion after growing up and spending most of my adult life in it. It has been a long journey and this song echoes a lot of the feelings I had as I was working through deprogramming the indoctrination and unhealthy beliefs it instilled in me.

As someone who has supplemented my mental health treatment and development with mosh pits at epic gigs for 25 years, seeing newer generations of mental health professionals really embracing and diving into metal music fills me with love, hope, pride, and just a ton of awesome feelings. Seeing a therapist who has come to understand it, to love it, uttering the words "Open this pit up!!" was like a lighting bolt to my heart and brain. Thank you 💜🤘

You’re the perfect target audience to help interpret things. I have watched a lot of your reactions and I enjoy both your deep understanding AND your free self expression. The fact that you’re not scared away by the beat or the vocal range and instead cut through to the deeper meaning is incredibly helpful, inflective and refreshing. Thank you for taking the time to do these reactions. ❤

[@NJTRAF]

I've binged a TON of your videos today and I have to admit that your interpretations are incredibly interesting. Whilst they may not exactly align with the original meaning of the song, I can 100% see exactly where you're coming from in your own interpretations and it's absolutely fascinating how we can all bring our own personal interpretations that don't match up exactly with the original meaning of the lyrics, and yet they will completely make sense! This is why music is such a great tool for healing

[@LazRil.]

I love your insight and how hype you get at the music. I love this band. Their music and lyrics helped me so much in 6th grade and beyond. They helped by letting me vent out so many emotions while living in a household that would shame emotions. They did all the screaming for me. Essentially, it is how I look at it today.

[@David-xg3sq]

As a recovering addict, I've experienced this. Being told I need NA, I have to go to rehab to get better, without religion I'll never heal. Most times these suggestions were coming from a place of love, but other times it was more about them and what worked for them must work for everyone. I had to do it my way and I'm now 19 months clean. This video really speaks to me. Music was a large part of healing, especially Slipknot. The album Iowa specifically. Thank you for making these videos 🤘

[@vincematthews864]

Your talking about the pushing of religion....totally right. I fit with this song. Family friends keep trying and telling me i shoukd find a church. I been there before. Not for me. Leave me alone. I will jeal how i heal. And church is not my way. I believe there is a creator not a god. Or lord. Or jesus. To many lives have been taken from me.

[@HeartSupport]

From Micro: Yea, it's frustrating and annoying when people try to force religion on you - whether it's people close to you or total strangers. It's understandable that it is a very significant element of their life, and therefore they want to share it with people they love. We all do that! But from sharing experiences in a respectful and mutual manner, to forcing personal beliefs onto someone... there is a huge gap that doesn't have to be crossed systematically. It should be more common to have conversations about our beliefs without feeling pressured if we are, in practice, not part of a church. Unfortunately, many traditional religions also encourage believers to spread the word and be an active part of increasing the extent of their church. So it's a bit of a vicious cycle where people are genuinely believing they are doing something right while in practice it may be an action that pushes people even further away from them. It's the paradox of beliefs and somehow being alienated to it - a message can come from a place of genuine care but come off the wrong way if not adressed to the right person. I relate quite much with how you've briefly described your own beliefs here too. It took personally a looong time for me to get to the point of accepting that I am spiritual but not religious. Whenever there is a human-made organization behind it, I see the benefits but I also can't let it outweight the hurt it also creates at an individual and collective level. I find it hard to welcome a religion as a whole without having a rational outlook on it at the same time. But for a long time that made me feel so inadequate - this internal impossibility of just not accepting a religion as a whole, and only picking out the things that made sense to me, rejecting everything else. I craved for the possibility of sharing and being a part of a local comunity for a long time, but had to accept that it's just not me, just not who I am and certainly not how I would embrace my own spirituality. There are fundamental parts of who we are that can't be bargained, and especially not for the sake of others' joy. As you said so well, it feels impossible to not question or feel the injustice behind the idea of a God that would be present but also not, that would intervene at times but also not at others - and especially not when it feels like we would need him the most. I hear you when you say that you lost too much, and feel this injustice with all my heart, with you. All in all, what matters most is what resonates with your heart and how your own beliefs develop in light of your story too. You are certainly not wrong for following your own path and embracing your own identity when it comes to religious beliefs. You do you, and it's all that matters. At the end of the day, others are not living your life for you, and they don't get to dictate what your heart is made of. Hold Fast. :heart:

[@user-if6bx1gq5w]

Your message at the end is so true. I grew up in violence, alcohol and drugs. I was drinking by 8 a heroin addict by 11, violence was the only way to survive. By 18 I got sober from everything but my rage. I was pushed into therapy and 6 months I had a mental breakdown and violent assaulted a friend because he criticised me, it took him a year to walk again and I was jailed. Music is what saved me and helped me settle my demons. There’s just something that lives in me that terrifies me and he’s buried dead. I’m now 40, married, have two wonderful kids and life is great. Be kind to all people. Listening is the best thing you can do, if people want to talk to you they will and if they don’t they won’t.

[@nicholasclark8838]

I was practically screaming listening to your take on this, freaking spot on

[@robertduran5920]

I love your interpretation of this song. I resonate with this a lot because I was abused as a child. I kept being told I need to talk to someone to help, that I needed to open and to be a certain way, but no one ever explained what exactly they meant and what they wanted. It made it harder when i was ostracized in school and was left to wonder what's wrong with me. Being abused so young, I didn't trust anyone, didn't know what to do, and never even knew I could ask questions. It was a very lonely childhood. "Reaching out for the hand of God, but did you think you'd shake your own?" I had a deep spiritual experience that this line reminded me of. It's probably now how corey taylor meant it, but very cool!

[@HeartSupport]

From ThriceTheThird: I relate a lot to this post and the being told to open up, but not having it explained to me what that meant. A long with the ostracization. Thank you for sharing your experience with us, and feel free to share more if you ever want. Opening up is the best once you understand it. <3

[@HeartSupport]

From Micro: Yes, it's so hard when you are pressured to talk but nothing comes out because you are just paralyzed by fear and don't know how to do it. No one told you how to, and even less that it was *safe* to talk. On the contrary, you were given opposite examples of cause and consequences when it comes to speaking and being noticed. With childhood abuse especially, your sense of trust and safety with others was deeply shaken. So when someone asks you to talk, it means *someone* needs to be part of this interaction, and somehow the solution too. But how can you suddenly talk and open up when it seems that *others* are just unsafe? If in your very own home you can't even trust the ones supposed to protect you, how can you start doing that with a stranger? These are such huge questions and burdens to experience, especially at a young age. To me personally, this struggle with trusting others is one of the lessons I internalized as a child because I grew up in an abusive environment too. It started at an early age and I developped this "shy" personality that wouldn't speak much but observe a lot. It's only as an adult that I got to understand that I was never shy... I was on my guard and I needed to feel safe in order to become all bubbly and expressive. Otherwise I would just be a muted version of myself. At school I was the child that was never speaking in class, and whenever I would be asked to speak in *any* type of environment, I would be petrified. I was constantly reflected this need of being more extroverted and talkative while doing so felt like a little death. No one understoood. Speaking meant being seen, and being seen meant being potentially hurt. Going what you've been through, when you're just a kid it makes you feel even more like something would be wrong with you, and that's such an injustice. To make you feel like somehow you would be broken because not only you don't behave as other kids seem to, but also because you are constantly pressured to be a certain way - one that you're not or simply can't be. It's awful how this lack of understanding tends to be generalized, and that there isn't more space given to people who don't talk. It's okay to be quiet, and there should be more space given to people who need to be without sharing their voice or being overly expressive. Somehow, there's nothing more beautiful and strong that having a loved one whom you can *just* spend time with, without the pressure or having to interact. The beauty of just being together for a given time, without having to try or prove anything. Thank you so much for sharing all of this here.

[@jameschenard1386]

Wow, you are so good. This felt like a personalized session just for me. Music has been a lifesaver-from Alice In Chains to Slipknot…and so many others. Thanks for keeping it real…I don’t get that feel too often from reaction videos. What you are doing with music/therapy is long overdue and necessary. This was common ground for me that I haven’t found before. Music is very much my self therapy and being able to have a common frame of reference is priceless.

[@robertbrunn7710]

This resonates with me a lot, as a recovering heroin addict ( over a year sober ) before I found my current recovery services all I could access was AA and whilst I applaud it for helping many many people it just wasn't for me, don't get me wrong I'm much more spiritual person but I'm still very analytical and logical when it comes to addiction so I needed more than blind faith and addiction is still so stigmatized as moral issue rather than a medical which for a long time was driven by the morality of the church. The biggest thing to come out of my recovery was finally allowing myself to be the rock/metal head I always knew was hiding inside 🤘😝🤘

I like your analysis. I know Slipknot is very metaphorical in their lyrics, and as a Christian I totally love this song. This song for me says about identity, I don't wanna destroy my identity just to make you happy, the lyrics about religion is a nice touch, since it is something the world praises a lot, and it is also something Slipknot often uses as a repertoire. I can't find it to be anti-religious, but just a critique to people in general, after all, Slipknot itself is a critique to the world.

I needed to hear this; "The way you heal may not work for others". It's so simple to say but I overgeneralized what worked for me and just assumed "because I'm human and other people are human this must work for everyone", not only is methods of healing not a one size fit all, we're all in different 'zones' of the healing process. Don't try to push people towards a direction that may lead them to healing, tell them what worked for you and suggest them to give it a try, and above all be supportive, especially if they try your method of healing and it didn't work. A wise man once told me "Collaborators work towards a solution together, debaters stall the solution whilst it's still within negotiation.", and I think that quote is applicable in this context because you have to put forth collaborative effort with someone to get them to find/seek help, but if you debate with them on what helped you and why it '100% will help them', then you're just stalling the helping process.

This analysis is reminding me of when I decided to fight my alcoholism and quit drinking. The doctor I was seeing at the time was telling me that I had to do this and that, and that I should go to group therapy and so on.. And if I didn't do it their way, then I simply wouldn't be able to quit. I thought that doing it their way would make it harder on me, so I decided to do it my way and just ignore their demands. And I've been sober ever since, going on 6 or 7 years now.

You're preaching to the choir sister! I wish my parents, and the christian school 🏫 that I was FORCED to go to, got that message when I was growing up, a little too late for that now...

Dealing with P.T.S.D., from being burned over in a wildfire,🔥 the DEATH of loved ones, the list goes on, and on... I agree with you 💯% congrats on recently becoming a Slipknot fan, I've been a fan for MANY years, their music has always helped me when I was at my LOWEST. Anytime I feel ANGER, or SADNESS, I put Slipknot on, and it HELPS... Corey Taylor was literally thrown into a dumpster, when he O.D. on heroin, and he pulled himself out, and changed from then on out in his life. I just think to myself, : "If Corey Taylor can get himself out of the dumpster, out of garbage, off of heroin, then I can get through this". Long live the KNOT!!! 👹🤘🤘

I had a history of alcoholism and for years while I was seeking help I heard “you need Jesus” in some sort or fashion. It pissed me off every time because I’m not into that. I would retreat farther and farther from these people who claimed to love and care for me but wouldn’t listen to me. I found a program that was not religious and helped me without shame.

I love how hype she is feeling

i always realised it's mainly about religion. but this song helped me so much with suicidal impulses. Now it has become a tool for me. every time an impulse like that shows up, i listen or sing this song and i instantly feel better and stronger. slipknot has been such a great therapist over the years for me lol. guess that's why they're one of my GOAT Bands

[@patrickfellers4266]

Many people that are new to Slipknot don’t understand how deep their lyrics really are. They aren’t always dark lyrics but they are emotional in that the way they are delivered is attractive to that part of you that is angry amor the injustice of being misunderstood.

I always had a problem with religion growing up, and could never figure out why so I just held a hatred for it my whole life. This ended up causing a rift with some of my family members, I never let them know I wasn't religious, but I definitely didn't feel as close with them as I could have. I found this video through my dad, who i have had many discussions about belief and religion with while we believed different things. Many insightful conversations came of this, but i never had a conclusion about my hatred towards organized religion (mainly one, but i shall keep it unamed). Today he told me that I should react to this video and give him my thoughts and feelings on it and I wrote a whole page worth of notes that I'm going to be sending to him, but basically this video actually really helped me come to some conclusions about a lot of things in my life, specifically the reason I was so against religion is actually because it's just wasn't my thing, it wasn't the thing that I related to or that helped me, in fact it's a form of spiritualism that I find most helpful and most of the people in my life don't believe in any of what I believe in. But, to me it makes life just that much more worthwhile and that's the beauty and being a human everyone believes different things, everyone understands life a little bit differently, everyone thinks different things and that's just a beauty that we have and get to communicate and it's a wonderful thing to realize. Thank you for this video it's great :)

One of my favorite albums love nero forte and solway firth

[@marianprb.]

If i remember correctly the song was written by Corey after he was in a Deep depression after his wife left him, and the song was about him finally letting go of all that.

[@ryanford9705]

Couple great songs along the same lines regarding religion are Immaculate misconception and thoughts and prayers by Motionless in White. Bangers too

I have ADHD, BPD, and heavy anxiety. I get told all the time to go to therapy but when I have tried my attention issues kick in and it don't work. My parents push me to go to Catholic Church like I grew up in and give me siht for going where I go and taking my kids. I totally understand what you are saying from you interpretation of this. Thanks for putting it in words.

[@HeartSupport]

From ThriceTheThird: Hey. I also struggle with those things as my main diagnosis, along with some major depressive disorder. I think that for therapy to work you have to find the right person for you, who approaches the therapy in a way that allows you to not feel like your attention is slipping. It took me multiple attempts at finding the right person to be able to hold my attention and actually give me information/ideas that were capable of helping me, and beneficial to me. Even now since I have been seeing the same person for quite some time it can be hard to sit through the whole session because of attention issues, but I know that the person across from me is the right person. Which allows me to focus up, and be patient just a bit more then if it was someone who was not effective in helping me grow as a person. Being forced to go to a certain kind of Church, or being guilted about not going I think is an inappropriate thing for people to do. Church is supposed to be teaching them acceptance and understanding to all peoples needs and situations. Even those who don't align 100% with their own. I say to continue to go where you feel comfortable, and to not let the people who's words/actions are out of your control, affect you too negatively. You know what is best for you to a certain extent, and if you want to go to a different Church then the one your parents are pushing on you. That is perfectly okay for you to do. They have no right to tell you how/where to take your spirituality. It's yours to find and feel right about. If it feels right to you, and makes you feel you are in the right place. I say stick with it regardless of the outside influence of other family members. If you ever want/need to share more, please feel free to do so! Hope you can find a healthy solution to your situation that is less stressful then the current. <3

@@HeartSupport to ThriceTheThird: hay thanks for that ya idc what they say they want me to do religious wise cause like you said it's my life. It pisses me off at times but that's it. As far as therapy goes I have tried many different people and methods. But the only thing that can hold my attention and bring me down to earth is fishing, hockey, and most importantly spending time with my kids and wife. I appreciate the words and hope that you as well can keep from stressful times. Talk more if you want to.

[@HeartSupport]

From EvilGenius: @aaronbrockman2281 Hi there, friend! First of all, I appreciate your willingness to share your struggles. I can understand why attending therapy with attention issues would be difficult. However, you shouldn’t completely rule it out. There are lots of different types of therapy that can be of use, that go way beyond the usual DBT and CBT stuff. Ultimately, the type of therapy you choose depends on the issue you want to address - that’s maybe a thinking point for you. Therapy is personalised, and the professional will tailor the therapy to suit your needs. When family dynamics have different beliefs, this can be stressful. You do not have to go down the Catholic Church path again if you do not want to, and your parents shouldn’t force religious beliefs onto you. Finding your own way on your own journey whilst protecting the wellbeing of your family is important. Perhaps explaining to your parents why you are against going down this path again may be a good option. I think what’s important is that you are on a personal journey, and finding what works for you is important, it may be that therapy isn’t your solution, but there are other paths to healing. Hope this is useful!

@@HeartSupport ya I understand. I just wish I felt like a better husband, father and employee. Because of my mental stuff I second guess everything I do and freak out. I never noticed it until my psychiatrist was talking to me and putting it in ways I never thought of. It fucks me up a lot at times. But I try to push it down and be strong for my family while inside I'm screaming and scratching at the walls to let it out. I can shut my brain down on almost anything except when I feel like that. I just feel like telling anyone even my BEST FRIEND ( whom I have grown up with known for 26 years and am closer to him then anyone) and wife like I am burdening them. They have their own issues and I hate telling them mine. Idk if it's my mental stuff or if it's just how I was raised but I hate telling people what I feel and what's going on in my head. Any who sorry for the rant I love these videos and appreciate the replies. Thanks all

Best reaction to this song I've seen so far. Love it!

[@GoForthNDie666]

@heartsupport I lost my mom in November last year and I keep pushing people away cause I know they are trying to help me, but how they push their thoughts on me to think there way to heal or deal with things is the right way(their way), but it's not the way I work and has been driving me down even farther. But thanks for your message, has made me feel a bit better that I'm not wrong in feeling and dealing with things the way I am, compared to what people want me to do.

[@HeartSupport]

From Micro: I'm sorry that you have been dealing with this kind of pressure, friend. It is so hard to face the brutal pain of losing someone you love, which is in itself already such a heavy struggle. Life appears to have a very different flavor when you are forced to mourn someone you love and to deal with the reality of their absence. But on top of it, having to deal with pressure from peers can be definitely an added burden that no one would want to have to compose with. Most of the time it is meant with good intentions and genuine care - people show up and want to support you, to help you walk through this very painful loss. So they share what makes sense to *them*, what helps *them* and what is meaningful to *them* personally. But sometimes it also comes with this unsaid pressure of having to follow through their advice, making you feel like if you can't keep up or don't have a similar experience as their own, then something would be wrong with you somehow. Which isn't true. But it creates this vicious cycle where you would be almost pushed to feel inadequate for being... human. After losing my big brother, a lot of people had a lot to say and I could see them *trying* to be supportive. But ultimately none of them was listening or giving space to my pain. They were trying to express pieces of advice or seemingly "solutions" to a situation that doesn't have any, but on the contrary forces you to rebuild and reinvest yourself almost completely. It was hard to hear common sayings as if the grief I was feeling would be something I'd be able to get over while *at the moment* I felt completely crushed and on my knees. When people want to help, they usually mean well, but they also don't necessarily understand that they may be trying to help themselves by doing so. Oftentimes loved ones can feel helpless, and when they provide the same advice over and over and manifest impatience, it is the reflection of *their* emotions and how they deal personally with seeing a loved one suffering. But it has nothing to do with that person, who only needs space to *be* - just as they are. I'm thankful that you have found your own ways and feel more confident/assured in the directions you follow. With grief especially, there is no unique path. It's about unique relationships, unique individuals, unique stories, so there can't be any magic formula when it comes to processing losses. We can share life and experiences, but at the end of the day what matters is what is meaningful for *you* and in regards of the relation you had - and will somehow keep having - with your mom. May this path of yours be peaceful and healing. Feel confident in knowing that you are not wrong for doing things your own way, at your own pace, and based on whether or not it makes sense to you. This is your journey.

what a music❤

[@Joep813]

I’ve been a slipknot fan fan since the late 90s. Yes I’m old. They have always helped me through their music. It took til my mid 30s to actually go to therapy. I’m still not perfect. Never will be but to this day if I’m in a bad spiral I can throw slipknot in my headphones and rage out for an hour or two and pull myself out of it. The adrenaline and dopamine hit makes me say fuck what’s going on in my life I’m gonna get through it. And after that I can start to see a little more clearly. I agree with what she said. It may not be the cure for everyone but it is for me when I have to get through a vulnerable moment.

[@enzosynapse1261]

Hey i just want to that I love Metal and love the message it conveys to me and I'm sure to everyone that loves it as much as me. But you should definitely check this artist called Ren, he is more to acoustic rap, his song writing and his composition is really out of this world, he sings alot about mental health since he himself has Lyme disease. First song I'd recommend is Hi Ren. He is one of a kind to be honest.

[@garethfossey9590]

It's amazing to me that non-metal fans don't get this until they LISTEN!

[@murrayc9615]

One of the biggest favors my parents ever did for me was NOT take me to church and force religion on me. We celebrated Christmas and stuff, but that was more cultural than religious. My parents never discussed gods or their beliefs, etc., and I think that helped me because it allowed me identify the "glassy-eyed evangelical born-againers" or the cultists like the "Moonies" and "$cientologists" and what not coming a mile away, so it kept me from getting manipulated and sucked into their cults. The other upswing is that instead of submitting to a belief system during a time of crisis, my non-belief helped me stayed objective, and I could see problems ahead of time and deal with them accordingly. Brian "Head" Welch attributes submitting to God to help him get off his addiction to Heroin, but my rational thinking helped me realize you shouldn't start experimenting with heroin in the first place. In theory, all Brian did was substitute one addiction for another because he is personally not capable of dealing with trauma, so he submits in order to escape responsibility and/or accountability.
