NF is 1 of my favorite artists 🖤
You just describe the track NATE where he starts out with..
'' Yeah, sometimes I wanna disappear like I just don't exist
Or find a time machine and take me back when I was six
Maybe younger, either way, I guess the point of it
Would be to tell that little kid that he's gon' take a lot of hits!'' ;)
yeah that gave me shivers
The description of cPTSD was spot on for my personal experience. It is so hard to have any confidence in myself or to feel safe when I can flash back and my abuser is there hurting me all over again. This song made me cry so hard the first time I heard it. Okay, so much of NF's music does that.
It gets even worse when things actually go wrong. The shame is all encompassing. My abuser's voice telling me that I cannot make it without them is so ingrained from when I was too afraid to run and I heard it over and over. With a job loss, relationship ending, sudden onset chronic pain, friends leaving me in my darkest moments, and then my car being stolen in the last 3 months that voice is all I can feel as I have slowly lost the feeling of progress I built over the last 5 years since I walked away. Recently, I have been withdrawing and unable to make progress on the job as I have definitely been paralyzed. I just keep hoping something goes right soon, but I'm having trouble doing the things I would have to in order for it to happen. I did decide not to give up, at least, but trauma sucks.
I have CPTSD and I absolutely love NF his songs feel like they are taken straight out of my own diary, it’s amazing how he uses his songs and life experience this way❤ it’s inspiring
Thank you so much for your analysis. I have struggling with consistency in therapy and you gave me reason to really try again. To put into my therapy as much as I can, even when it's hard. I have diagnosed Complex PTSD, and what you said helps me feel like I am finally understanding it. Recognizing the symptoms for what they are, and being kinder to myself.
Stay strong man I am with you
You won me over, I've learned more about myself watching a few of your reactions than I have from two years of therapy, you definitely deserve a sub. And thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!
Thank you! I'm suffering and dealing with trauma from my childhood, adult life, and now also my work life. You are a bright star in my sky right now; keep on! And once again thank you.
NF JOURNEY CONTINUES! 🎉
Oh yes!
Another absolutely fabulous reaction. Rings true in so many area's. I admire that you can be both human and analytical about these things, you maintain a good balance. So happy to see your channel growing.
It is so nice to hear you talk about complex ptsd on a public platform. To be honest it’s quite hard in the UK to find a therapist that really understands it and your soo right when you say many therapy’s can be symptom based.
The fact you do reaction videos too is a bonus.
It would be awesome to see you do twenty one pilots ‘trench’ album in regards to CPTSD.
And the map of DEMA (the brain) from the Clancy journals and how it relates to the actual parts of the brain. The thing i found most fascinating is how DEMA looks like it is located at the brain
stem. This blew my mind.
I was diagnosed with CPTSD many years ago (i manage it really well now thanks to therapy) and so many of the things that Tyler put in his lyrics/ Clancy letters remind me so much of the things I was taught in therapy.
Maybe there isn’t any connection at all and am looking for a connection that isn’t there but i would love to know your professional opinion/reaction 😊
I'm seeing a lot in the comments about failure of therapy. Which has been my experience as well. You mate are an unusual Psych (to your absolute credit👍). Most do nothing but throw Freudian bullshit at you and drug you to the nines. Your management and quality of life approach is exactly what Veterans especially need. Hats off mate. God Bless👊
It's refreshing to hear your ACT perspective. I've listened to NF King before he was popular because he's real and raw in expressing himself without the profanity. Complex PTSD is spot on, and while we dont need a diagnosis to understand his human experience. Experiential avoidance is a catch-all term in ACT that accurately describes the function of our responses but not necessarily the intent if that makes sense. I think we can both want to move toward a more meaningful life and sabotage our efforts with experiential avoidance. You do a great job explaining the spirit of therapy without all the technical talk. But I also appreciate learning how these processes can be understood through songs. We can't read Nathan's minds but his lyrics are quite revealing.
This song is one of my absolute favorites. Goosebumps everytime! Our brains really are powerful things. You're absolutely right though... You can overcome! Amazing reaction as always. You are one of a kind ♥️
I am so excited to keep up with you while you go down this journey! And what makes it even better is you’re going in order 👏🏻 it will give the best understanding of Nate’s personal journey in overcoming the traumas that he’s faced. The early tracks give you backstory on the things he went through in childhood, his view of himself etc and as the albums go on you can see him slowly healing and his mindset on certain topics changing. Keep up the great reactions! I love seeing your insight.
I truly tried to watch and listen for the entire video. It hurt too much but I want to thank you. Your humanity reminds me to not give up.
I appreciate you talking about the freeze trauma response. It is too often overlooked. I have been dealing with anxiety and depression most of my life. And it got to the point where nothing was happening to me. It seemed like everyone around me was moving forward in life. But I was stuck. Waiting for life to happen to me. I was afraid to open up. I was afraid to try new things. I was afraid to try. Period. It has taken a lot of work to process my trauma and face my demons. I finally had to ask myself, what is it you are so afraid of?
Being rejected. Being unwanted. I'm not going to lie. Some days, I still get scared, but I have learned to be okay with that. It's okay to get scared.
I wasn't okay with staying stuck. So I did the scary thing anyway. I took a step forward. ❤
I am watching your NF Journey and it is very powerful. Thank you. I would suggest you drop in the song "Nate" since you just did "How Can You Leave Us" which although "Nate" is on album 4 The Search, it fits right in this timeline here. And it relates to what you are saying on this video Paralyzed. It is about Nate talking to his younger self and it won't be a spoiler to the NF Journey story but will enhance it. There is a story and it unfolds on each album.
One of the most realest songs i ever heard and one of the most powerful song is this guy named Colicchee Drug Addiction. I promise you wont regret it he talk obviously his battles with drug addiction and his struggles to stay sober.
WOW you are growing soo fast. You deserve this keep up the good work❤️❤️❤️
Hey you :) Are you familiar with the charity organization Beauty After Bruises? While they are based in the US, they offer education, tools, coping skills, and more to survivors globally. They focus on complex ptsd and dissociative disorders (namely all complex childhood trauma) and their work is so in line with your advocacy and education. While you offer the clinical side, I know there are SO few resources for survivors out there that are credible, approachable, easy to understand, but well-researched. Thought they might be a good organization to have on hand for even your young clients and in any other work you do. They've been a godsend here! 💙💜
Thanks for bringing this to my attention - I’m going to go and check this out
@TherapistReactsOfficial Wonderful! Their articles on things like 101 Grounding Techniques, 101 Self-Care Techniques, as well as Distraction, Nighttime Routines, and visualizations for pain, body memories, emotion modulation, and everything have been so so helpful in a treatment setting for clients, but also just for anyone stumbling upon them themselves. They're super thorough without being too heady/academic for any newbies!
Can't wait for you to continue the journey
You are very insightful--another great reaction.
New subscriber here . I really enjoy your NF reactions. Please keep them coming. 😊❤🔥
Have you done his song TRAUMA yet? If not, its totally up your alley and you should check it out. Thanks for reacting to this and commenting on such a touchy subject.
I don't want to comment too much cause it hurts. But as an adult yes your spot on. I'm a huge NF fan cause I share the same. Thank you for your review. Love watching you.
At one point he said: What would you say to your six year old you?
Does he know whats to come? Lol
Well my first reaction was to the song Mansion which I’m guessing have a pretty good overview of what he’s been through.
@@TherapistReactsOfficial there will be a song on NFs album The Search where he is talking to his younger self. The funny thing is he specifically says that he is talking to six year old Nate
You are going to love the NF Journey.
Thank you See him in 6 days on the hope tour.much love to everyone
Thank you
I'd love 2 hear ur point of view of post malones song reputation. Love ur videos btw mate, keep it up 👍
Subbed!
Leaving my detailed journey for you as well

the only place i feel is through music and this music explains what i feel the most.
would love to hear your thoughts on Free the Robots by Capital Steez
I have CPTSD and BPD, It is a living nightmare.
Sorry to comment yet again. I say yet again mate your approach is the winning approach. I counsel Veterans and young men. With no degree. The "wounded warrior" approach. As you do by your words. If all Therapists were like you there would be fuck all Veteran suicide. Hats off mate👊
Thanks for the kind words and support Jesse
@@TherapistReactsOfficial thank YOU for what you do mate. I meant every word I said. No Freudian bullshit. No drugging clients to the nines. Quality of life. Management. Mate you are a rarity in your field. And this Digger salutes you👍👊

Shout out my C-PTSD club ✌️
We gotta see reactions to Kendrick Lamar.
If this is PTSD and it’s a negative thing, why has the fire of struggle forged him into something stronger than a vast majority of people?
Good point. Post Traumatic Growth is a very real thing, and I suspect this is what has happened with NF.
I found your channel 10 months ago to hi ren. Long story short. I'm so glad I found your channel again! 🤍🌻
