Let me tell you something my girl. I’ve been listening to slipknot for 20 years and the way you react and explain and break down the lyrics you have got me listening to slipknot in a whole other perspective. Lol. WOW!!! This is my second time watching your reaction to my most favorite band and I absolutely love the hell out of you. You are getting a like and a subscribe from me and I’m going to tell all my other friends and family about you. Love you girl. Keep rocking and spitting out these videos. 🤘😝🤘
Started checking out your reactions more often and managed to show up early for this one! Some really good slipknot songs that I feel don't get enough coverage, especially from a psychiatric perspective, can be found on their self-titled. I know yall covered wait and bleed already but it would be cool to see purity or eyeless too. Keep up the good work gang
@@kylebolton3240 you ever wonder if you might miss out on the "this music is terrible" phase of parenting when we are starting our kids off with Slipknot?
Seek first to understand and then be understood. I had a friend recently that didnt want answers but just needed to get it out to someone without them trying to tell them what they should do, or how they should fix themselves. Speaking volumes without saying a word works. People more often than not already know but they just need to work it out and they cant do that when someone is just sitting there telling them how they would look at something, or what they would do in that situation.
Preach. Usually when we respond with immediate advice, we're actually responding to *our* need of easing our own feelings. We want to fix a situation as soon as possible, lessen the pain, make things better - we want to help and *feel* like we're helping. But that doesn't say anything about the needs of the person asking for help. It's also undernstandable to underestimate the power of listening as it can feel "useless" and without any visible effect... while really there is so much strength to unfold by practicing listening and respecting people's sense of agency.
I cried good and bad tears from this breakdown. I’m goin through a lot very rapidly but also lost friends in the past to very negative circumstances and regularly feel guilt for not being there for them more. Thank you
Just recently found your reaction videos, and i am thoroughly impressed with your analysis of these songs, particularly the Slipknot and System of a Down videos. Most TH-cam reactions don't get quite so close to the messages of the music, but you are basically understanding them first time through. If you're looking for some positive music that still jumps like this, try Skindred. My introductory song for them was "Stand for Something". I was instantly hooked.
A few weeks ago I first saw one of your reviews. I've always loved Slipknot but your interpretation of each song, words and meanings has given me more insight into the band and i can now understand there is way more depth to them than I ever noticed. Having suffered From Manic Depression, Anxiety, Social anxiety and a myriad of other problems for years I like to hear your views as a therapist. I have treatment resistance depression as that's classified as trying 2 or more antidepressants etc I've tried over 5 and nothing has ever helped much as my tolerances are above normal and every drug I've had to take more than the maximum recommended dose. My body does not accept the newer SSRIs etc. You say talking helps. I've seen over 5 different GPs. Done a mental health care plan with a psychologist to get cut short saying they can't help. Seen a psychiatrist that tried to break down my life and to find the cause of my issues but I could sense the judgement and annoyance because I didn't share every single moment (some things people can't talk about) to be told to take a 1980s drug Amitriptyline with the worst side affects of most medications on the market. With not 1 follow up (Public health system Psychiatrist) Anyway it wasn't till you got to the end that it sort of hit home and bought a tear to my eye. I've always known my own problems and what would most likely set me on the path to maybe getting better but I just can't seem to help myself or do anything about it. 5 days ago I stopped Endep because of the horrific Side effects I've endured for years weighed up with the Pro's of the medication. Depression is a disease and I know a good percentage of the population suffers from it. Where's the help? Do people care? I know for a fact that some people will just never understand it or be able to physically relate. Keep up the Review's and diagnosis. If you can help 1 person find some insight and give them some kind of meaning it's a step in the right direction
I’ve listened to a few of your slipknot reactions and I really wish I had a chance to pay for your thoughts, I’ve long avoided the stigma of getting therapy in the military but also have known for a while I prolly need it, anyway love your reactions and analysis of my favorite band!
I can relate to the message of this song. Or rather, the feelings its talking about. I have been struggling mentally for years now, but I've always kept my head above the water by trying to work on myself. After years of no results, my pool of support is getting smaller and I keep hearing the same things, the same things I have been trying and failing at for years. And it feels like drowning, like every time I manage to get my head above the water, someone says, "You should work on your swimming, you'll never make it until you can swim better." And its so frustrating, because I can see what they're saying is correct, but its not helpful. And it feels dismissive, like I somehow knowingly put myself in this position. Sometimes I want to stop asking for help, because the help I get isn't the help I need.
From Micro: @SkuubaSteve Gosh, friend, what you describe is so relatable. It's so disappointing when you reach out to people but it is not met the way you needed or wanted in the first place. In itself, it already takes a serious amount of energy to strech your own comfort zone in order to reach out and say "I need help". It's not the most wanted nor easiest step to take for anyone. But then to feel like these efforts were somehow in vain because the result doesn't add any particular value to your situation... it's rough to be in that place. It's like you're running a marathon and devoting all your energy to get to the finish line, hoping that there you'll find some water to drink and a place to rest. But in reality you meet people who kind of tell you "nothing to see here, keep running!". Ugh, so frustrating. What you describe especially reminds of these memes we can see online but are from personal experiences of unsuccessful, even disappointing "reach out" situations. One would be someone with depression asking for emotional support, advice or guidance, and be responded to with a "have you tried meditation?". A part of you just wants to answer "duh" with a big sigh, then on the other hand you don't want to be ungrateful or dismiss the genuine care that others have in their heart. It's just hard to feel like in the midst of your battles and while you are sharing your voice, people don't *hear* you, or even worse that they don't *listen*. As you said so well, it's the kind of reaction that makes you feel even more alone, even more misunderstood, even more helpless if not hopeless. It also makes you feel like people assume you haven't tried already to help yourself, that you haven't explored different solutions and ways to cope. Somehow, I feel like this is part of the unfortunate experiences and interactions we often have when we are struggling and ask for help. We are confronted to the reality that not everyone is equipped to listen, not everyone is equipped to hear, not everyone is equipped to advise eventually. Some people want to fix a situation for us while we need an ear to listen. Others will share ideas we already thought of. Then you start asking yourself if you can even be helped at all, or if you're just doomed to suffer endlessly. It's a vicious cycle. If anything, I want to really commend you for your resilience, perseverance and bravery there. It may feel discouraging, pointless or even like it makes everything worse. Although each time you've reached out, you were doing it for *yourself*, which is in itself a beautiful act of love and care for yourself. You are actively showing up for yourself. You could dismiss your pain, choose to hide - and man you were given somehow reasons to react that way furthermore. But you didn't, and you keep trying. That is truly strong and wonderful, because all of this, you are doing it for you. And my friend, you are worth all of these steps. You are worth all of the care and support you need. I hope you'll continue in trying to find the right place, the right people, the right support. It may take time to find your way, although I'm hopeful that at some point new doors will be opened and something will click differently - in a much better and more meaningful way to you personally. Hold fast, keep it up, and don't let these disappointing experiences discourage you from getting help as a whole. You matter so very much. :heart: -Micro
5:20 spot on and that is something I've been feeling people done at me past few years when I said I felt lonely, or upset or depressed, or whatever it may be, I kinda be like a dog lowering my tail and just go by myself to the corner of a room whimpering like " you don't know how hard things may been " is how I would tell an example of my expression to someone shouting at me
I may piss people off by saying this but with the losses and changes in line up, I felt the last two albums were slipknot by the numbers, but this album really grabbed me, love it
@heartsupport I like your reaction videos to slipknot music and your flinch right when the song was getting started was priceless and made me smile also i would like you to do a reaction video to three days grace never too late with adam in vocals
What you said at 5:40 and 8:00 is exactly how I feel with my current therapist. When I tell her about my trauma and how it makes me feel, she always throwing solutions like “do yoga, go walking, etc.” and doesn’t actually listen to what I’m going through. Sometimes I just need someone to validate what I’m feeling and what I’ve went through, but they just gloss over it and go straight to “you should do this…” I always feel so embarrassed afterward my sessions because it makes me think that she’s uncomfortable.
I’m sorry that you’ve been having such a disappointing/somewhat unhelpful experience with your therapist. The fact that you are expecting from them something different is totally valid and understandable. We absolutely need to feel heard and recognized in our pain in order to work on our own healing - that external validation is so fundamental. It’s unfortunate when someone only responds with providing advice, especially when on top of it it feels generic and not really thought for your specific situation. On your end, you are doing something brave and courageous by sharing about the painful experiences/events you’ve been through. If anything, your vulnerability is seen and valued here. You are doing the right thing by seeking support, by opening up and trying to process your pain. I’ve personally had my share of traumas, and something that the “healing journey” has taught me a lot is that not everyone is going to be the right listener, or the right supporter. Some people are good at providing a type of support, and it will often vary from one individual to another. It’s a bit of an ungrateful journey to find the right one, or to negotiate sometimes with people. To explain how their responses make us feel, what is the help we’re in need of, and what isn’t helping at all. A good therapist especially will hear your concerns and feelings about what happens during your therapy sessions, and will look forward to adjusting/adapting their behavior and responses to you. If they don’t, it may be a sign to consider looking for a new/different one. One thing is sure: there is no embarrassment to feel and how comfortable or not your therapist is should not be yours to worry about. It’s healthy to talk about it with them, to clarify and open your communication together. In therapy, oftentimes you’ll be meant to discuss as much about the therapy/therapeutic process as about your personal struggles. If anything, the fact that you are aware of this dynamic is huge in itself. You recognize something that isn’t serving you as it should, which can lead you to opening new doors or approaching things differently. Somehow, even when we identify something that is not helping us, it also teaches us more about our personal needs and the kind of support we are looking for. It tells you more about yourself, your heart, and the type of presence you need to have by your side - which isn’t always easy to identify at first. It’s a bit of a trial and error process where we learn about ourselves and others, which feels a bit ungrateful and discouraging at times. Although it’s a process that is well worth it, because you are doing this for you, and you matter most here. I hope that your relationship with your therapist will improve over time, or that you’ll find one that would suit your needs better. Maybe your current therapist would be an amazing fit for someone else but not you, and that is an okay realization to have - if that is the case. None of this would ever make you wrong for seeking help or sharing about your pain. You are on the right path. :heart: -Micro

What is Everything Ends about? Lead singer Corey Taylor: "It's about the last time I tried to commit suicide, and more to the point, the first day I figured out what life was all about. It's about the last day in a life I don't want to remember and about the first day in a life that I am living right now." Please do a react to this as this is very close to home.
The heart begins to suffer when the soul has given up is an interesting line because It can be interpreted by two ways either you don't take care of yourself or the better way is that when you give up you throw yourself down a twisted hole
You should do falling away from me by Korn and also thoughtless by Korn I love ur videos I love your reactions and how goofy u are while watching these also ur very pretty
Sometimes the time you talk about needing isn’t there, isn’t available. The person you trust for one reason or another can’t participate in your life anymore……..love the insight though, as always
Because for some of us it's all we've ever known and it can be just easier to try and try again, because you know you will be able to try and try again until you can't
It's sticking to familiarity when you don't even realize you're doing it sometimes. Because what you want and what you need are often different sometimes. And sometimes you tell yourself the need is so simple you'll obtain it someday, your want is easier to get.
Why would you keep continuing to suffer when you have the tools to get out? Because when I don't suffer, I don't feel anything. No joy, no sadness, nothing. It makes me want to lay in bed and sleep all day. Me suffering, brings me to another level, it gets me stronger, makes me evolve
Taylor love you insight on the videos you have watched. Can you please analyze Unleashed by Epica. I'd love to hear what you have to say. Keep it going. You have done a great job.
keep up the amazing work i love how into the music you get. more songs by slipknot would be sic, surfacing, spit it out live download 2009, the heretic anthem, aov, killpop, all out life. should also checkout stuff from the singer corey taylor's other band stone sour as well as his solo stuff more singing less screaming and growls. from stone sour: bother, through glass, 30/30-150, made of scars, digital (did you tell), say you'll haunt me, gone sovereign/absolute zero, tired, do me a favor, song #3, fabuless. from solo stuff: black eyes blue, cmft must be stopped, from can to cant
Fun fact: the way you explain letting people come to their own conclusions is the only way I try yo give advice. It needs to come from within and all you can do is keep showing people the silver lining and not accept when they say things that are destructive as well.
You should do more system of a down, i really enjoyed watching those 4 episodes, and if you will, could you do Prison song or Question! Edit: Lonely Day could also be an interesting one
That closing scene, I think, was original drummer Joeys first mask when they started. He left/was fired in 2013ish He had passed in the 12 months before this video, letting it float away was a beautiful goodbye.
As much as I want to see you react to Disasterpiece I really want to see you break down "Me Inside" and "Diluted" as they are both songs that makes scense to me in my most depressive days, in all of my selfdestuctive behaviour, in all of my self pitty that I wallow in as I really feel like beein alive is slowly killing me. Please react to them
it is also kind of like that old adage you can lead a horse to water but you cannot make them drink. "put your hands into the water let your mouth go sick and dry"
Thank you so much for the comments about solution vs understanding. Leading the person feeling trapped. Going through a really really tough time with my wife who wants to get a divorce. I'm working way too hard trying to change her mind,because she's my world. Love her to death. Thr reason for this is, she just stopped loving me one day, she says. No fights, no cheating or other dramatic reasons to it, feelings just disappeared after 9 years of together, 2 beautiful kids and only 1 years of marriage. The situation right now is that she's basically stopped talking to me whilst we're alone and the kids has gone to bed. The thing she told me just a few days ago is excactly what you just described, she's feeling trapped. And my "manbrain" (in lack of another word) is only searching for and offering solutions. You've pretty much opened my mind up a bit so a kinda understand what she actually means by that. So thank you so much. ❤
Another slipknot video.. we planning on doing anything else? Or is this just what this channel is now? I love slipknot too, but this is like 12 or 13 in a row. Heres a whole shitload of stuff that this community can benefit from: BMTH - suicide season Nothing more - if it doesnt hurt Deftones - cherry waves Bullet for my valentine - tears dont fall Pantera - domination Wargasm - spit Maggie Lindemann - take me nowhere Flaw - get up again Alice in chains - junkhead Papa Roach - thrown away Staind - for you Blacktop Mojo - prodigal Alpha Wolf - a quiet place to die Too close to touch - sympathy Gojira - stranded Cancer Bats - hail destroyer Wilson - fuck up my high Chevelle - the clincher Point North - recover Sick Puppies - riptide Linkin Park - final masquerade Hollywood Undead - heart of a champion 10 years - novacaine Jessie Murph - sobriety Faith no More - king for a day, fool for a lifetime Nonpoint - what a day
I just survived a suicide attempt after being "down" (prison) almost a decade, before I was released. I almost died and struggle every day. I didn't want to get out, and I still don't know what the hell is up with the world out here. it's a song about living after completely failing at life, using it.That's my interpretation. She's on point though as well
From AliceBlue: @user-bu4kf3uy6w I wanted to reach out because I lost my partner to suicide not too long ago. My heart goes through so many emotions whenever coming across someone who has attempted and who has made it out alive to the other side. I know that life isn’t going to be sunny and happy, but you aren’t alone. I am bloody proud of you for being here.
From Alex08: @user-bu4kf3uy6w Not gonna lie, I've also survived a suicide attempt. It was half assed, I was 13 at the time, 8th grade. I gave up, and I can't tell what I regret, trying or giving up. This world is fucked and I have no clue what's going on either.
From Micro: @user-bu4kf3uy6w Thank you for being here with us, friend. Your presence in this world makes a whole lot of difference, even it doesn't necessarily feel that way right now. Pain has this way of overshadowing the beauty of our own soul and darken everything around us. It's hard to see beyond it, hard to believe that we absolutely deserve to stay. I hope that, since this attempt, you have managed to take good care of yourself and of your heart, even if it has to do through very small gestures a little bit everyday. You deserve good thing, friend, first and foremost from yourself, regardless of what may have pushed you to be in prison before. I can only imagine how the shock between being there and going to the outside world must be. It must feel somehow as if your safety gets completely removed, that you have to re-learn "how to life" all over again, without real support through this process. I would imagine that prison could feel safer in the way it's organized *for* you, while being outside feels like every decision you make (or don't make) become your full responsibility - which is a vertiginous shift to experience. I don't know for how long you were there either, but I would imagine that being a part of this world again, outside of prison, must feel absolutely chaotic. Everyone seems to know what they have to do and are focused on their own life while you try to figure out what you are going to do the next day. It's like looking at an anthill in its fullest activity and feeling like you're completely outside of it, wondering how possible it can be to join this circus again. It would almost feel like a joke was made on you as you have to re-learn from scratch and can't move back to your place of safety again. I'm sorry that this major transition has been so brutal for you. When you are in an institution and get used to how it works, it feels like a shock to come back to the "real" world as if what you just lived was only under parenthesis. While really, when you were there it was your *entire* experience and you were fully present to it. In a different manner, people often experience this when coming out of a psychiatric ward for months if not years. It makes you feel like you became were so dependent on the system around you, in the institution, that re-learning to embrace your own agency once outside feels absolutely overwhelming and intimidating. I hope with all my heart that you will keep staying, and maybe that you will surround yourself with people who will be able to listen and support you through this life transition. You can find your way through this, you can feel empowered again and lead a life that would feel right for you, even if it's in a different environment. You have the strength within to navigate this major life transition. This world is better with you in it. Really. :heart:
From AliceBlue: @draxsshadows1655 My heart goes out to you. From one stranger to another, I just want you to know that you do matter. That your words and feelings matter. I care because anyone who feels this way deserves to know that someone out there sees and hears them. You deserve to know that you do not have to do anything to deserve love and compassion and empathy.
From ManekiNeko: @draxsshadows1655 It is very hard to feel like you are just existing and the world around you doesn’t stop to allow you to take time to unbury yourself from this piling rubble. It’s like there’s so much motion and madness in the world so how could anyone have time to stop and take note or care about our lives? The great thing about a space like this is that it’s designed for those who feel left behind to be allowed to be seen and brought to the front. There’s genuine love and care in this space and it is for you and anyone who feels like you. I hope that you feel safe to express yourself, I hope you know that there are people who care and mostly I hope you know that you have been seen and cared about
From Micro: @draxsshadows1655 So sorry friend that you've been experiencing that kind of loneliness and isolation all together. It's awful how depression can create so much distance between the people we love and ourselves. Sometimes by pushing us to isolate or because we wouldn't have enough energy to connect with others as we used to. And sometimes by feeling completely unseen or misunderstood by the people we look up to, as depression is overwhelmingly present for the one who's living it, but can remain invisible to people around them. It's like carrying a freaking veil in front of your eyes that makes everything dark and heavy, but you're the only one who sees it. It's so hard to find the right balance and connections while you are leading your own battlles, and I imagine that it must have been hard for you too. It's hard because it feels like most people can't understand or don't even want to. That somehow, being depressed is scary and pushes people away, even the ones who may have promised to be there. It's heartbreaking to feel like no one cares, that no one SEE you really or hear your pain, while on your side it feels like everything is tainted by the shadow of depression. It's like you're burning inside out but no one notices, making you wonder if people even care about you in the first place. Just brutal. To echo what our friends said above, it is absolutely true that you deserve to feel safe, loved and cared for, especially as you are dealing with depression, which *challenges* our connection with others in so many ways. You matter friend. You really do. Rest assured that if you ever need a space to talk, be yourself unapologetically and be *seen* as you are, with your own part of vulnerability, then you have that space right here. You are loved. :heart:
Please do you’re self a favor and look up papa roachs song last resort if you haven’t heard that then the one I want you to react to is that some reimagined by falling in reverse pleaseeee love you’re videos
People stop listening to you when you complain about the same thing over and over and do nothing to fix it. We all have friends who have come to us with their problems and we try to help and/or we give them advice but they keep ignoring our advice or refusing our help. We stop listening to them because we can only repeat ourselves so many times before we just give up. It’s a victim mentality on their part. At some point, that person needs to help themselves because no one else will.

Please keep it up you are helping me to appreciate my mental health AND slipknot. :)
I went from watching this for entertainment to being very inspired, you’re doing gods work!

Anyway it wasn't till you got to the end that it sort of hit home and bought a tear to my eye. I've always known my own problems and what would most likely set me on the path to maybe getting better but I just can't seem to help myself or do anything about it. 5 days ago I stopped Endep because of the horrific Side effects I've endured for years weighed up with the Pro's of the medication.
Depression is a disease and I know a good percentage of the population suffers from it. Where's the help? Do people care? I know for a fact that some people will just never understand it or be able to physically relate. Keep up the Review's and diagnosis. If you can help 1 person find some insight and give them some kind of meaning it's a step in the right direction
I’ve listened to a few of your slipknot reactions and I really wish I had a chance to pay for your thoughts, I’ve long avoided the stigma of getting therapy in the military but also have known for a while I prolly need it, anyway love your reactions and analysis of my favorite band!
I can relate to the message of this song. Or rather, the feelings its talking about. I have been struggling mentally for years now, but I've always kept my head above the water by trying to work on myself. After years of no results, my pool of support is getting smaller and I keep hearing the same things, the same things I have been trying and failing at for years. And it feels like drowning, like every time I manage to get my head above the water, someone says, "You should work on your swimming, you'll never make it until you can swim better."
And its so frustrating, because I can see what they're saying is correct, but its not helpful. And it feels dismissive, like I somehow knowingly put myself in this position.
Sometimes I want to stop asking for help, because the help I get isn't the help I need.
From Micro: @SkuubaSteve Gosh, friend, what you describe is so relatable. It's so disappointing when you reach out to people but it is not met the way you needed or wanted in the first place. In itself, it already takes a serious amount of energy to strech your own comfort zone in order to reach out and say "I need help". It's not the most wanted nor easiest step to take for anyone. But then to feel like these efforts were somehow in vain because the result doesn't add any particular value to your situation... it's rough to be in that place. It's like you're running a marathon and devoting all your energy to get to the finish line, hoping that there you'll find some water to drink and a place to rest. But in reality you meet people who kind of tell you "nothing to see here, keep running!". Ugh, so frustrating.
What you describe especially reminds of these memes we can see online but are from personal experiences of unsuccessful, even disappointing "reach out" situations. One would be someone with depression asking for emotional support, advice or guidance, and be responded to with a "have you tried meditation?". A part of you just wants to answer "duh" with a big sigh, then on the other hand you don't want to be ungrateful or dismiss the genuine care that others have in their heart. It's just hard to feel like in the midst of your battles and while you are sharing your voice, people don't *hear* you, or even worse that they don't *listen*. As you said so well, it's the kind of reaction that makes you feel even more alone, even more misunderstood, even more helpless if not hopeless. It also makes you feel like people assume you haven't tried already to help yourself, that you haven't explored different solutions and ways to cope.
Somehow, I feel like this is part of the unfortunate experiences and interactions we often have when we are struggling and ask for help. We are confronted to the reality that not everyone is equipped to listen, not everyone is equipped to hear, not everyone is equipped to advise eventually. Some people want to fix a situation for us while we need an ear to listen. Others will share ideas we already thought of. Then you start asking yourself if you can even be helped at all, or if you're just doomed to suffer endlessly. It's a vicious cycle.
If anything, I want to really commend you for your resilience, perseverance and bravery there. It may feel discouraging, pointless or even like it makes everything worse. Although each time you've reached out, you were doing it for *yourself*, which is in itself a beautiful act of love and care for yourself. You are actively showing up for yourself. You could dismiss your pain, choose to hide - and man you were given somehow reasons to react that way furthermore. But you didn't, and you keep trying. That is truly strong and wonderful, because all of this, you are doing it for you. And my friend, you are worth all of these steps. You are worth all of the care and support you need.
I hope you'll continue in trying to find the right place, the right people, the right support. It may take time to find your way, although I'm hopeful that at some point new doors will be opened and something will click differently - in a much better and more meaningful way to you personally.
Hold fast, keep it up, and don't let these disappointing experiences discourage you from getting help as a whole. You matter so very much. :heart:

We need a reaction to "Orphan" plz 🙏🏻
👍👍👍really enjoy your reactions and the different perspective. Keep it up 😎
5:20 spot on and that is something I've been feeling people done at me past few years when I said I felt lonely, or upset or depressed, or whatever it may be, I kinda be like a dog lowering my tail and just go by myself to the corner of a room whimpering like " you don't know how hard things may been " is how I would tell an example of my expression to someone shouting at me
These videos are sick! Even if it wasn’t the original meaning of the song you can filp it to such a great perspective!
I may piss people off by saying this but with the losses and changes in line up, I felt the last two albums were slipknot by the numbers, but this album really grabbed me, love it
@heartsupport
I like your reaction videos to slipknot music and your flinch right when the song was getting started was priceless and made me smile also i would like you to do a reaction video to three days grace never too late with adam in vocals
Being as an Ocean's album "dear G-D" would be the greatest cluster of reactions for this channel.
Would you cover slipknots frail limb nursery + purity or gently.. love all the songs you have done so far, keep up the great work ❤
Slipknot is SOO good!!! Its their music was a genre, it would definitely be called “Slipknot Metal”
What you said at 5:40 and 8:00 is exactly how I feel with my current therapist. When I tell her about my trauma and how it makes me feel, she always throwing solutions like “do yoga, go walking, etc.” and doesn’t actually listen to what I’m going through. Sometimes I just need someone to validate what I’m feeling and what I’ve went through, but they just gloss over it and go straight to “you should do this…” I always feel so embarrassed afterward my sessions because it makes me think that she’s uncomfortable.
I’m sorry that you’ve been having such a disappointing/somewhat unhelpful experience with your therapist. The fact that you are expecting from them something different is totally valid and understandable. We absolutely need to feel heard and recognized in our pain in order to work on our own healing - that external validation is so fundamental. It’s unfortunate when someone only responds with providing advice, especially when on top of it it feels generic and not really thought for your specific situation. On your end, you are doing something brave and courageous by sharing about the painful experiences/events you’ve been through. If anything, your vulnerability is seen and valued here. You are doing the right thing by seeking support, by opening up and trying to process your pain.
I’ve personally had my share of traumas, and something that the “healing journey” has taught me a lot is that not everyone is going to be the right listener, or the right supporter. Some people are good at providing a type of support, and it will often vary from one individual to another. It’s a bit of an ungrateful journey to find the right one, or to negotiate sometimes with people. To explain how their responses make us feel, what is the help we’re in need of, and what isn’t helping at all. A good therapist especially will hear your concerns and feelings about what happens during your therapy sessions, and will look forward to adjusting/adapting their behavior and responses to you. If they don’t, it may be a sign to consider looking for a new/different one. One thing is sure: there is no embarrassment to feel and how comfortable or not your therapist is should not be yours to worry about. It’s healthy to talk about it with them, to clarify and open your communication together. In therapy, oftentimes you’ll be meant to discuss as much about the therapy/therapeutic process as about your personal struggles.
If anything, the fact that you are aware of this dynamic is huge in itself. You recognize something that isn’t serving you as it should, which can lead you to opening new doors or approaching things differently. Somehow, even when we identify something that is not helping us, it also teaches us more about our personal needs and the kind of support we are looking for. It tells you more about yourself, your heart, and the type of presence you need to have by your side - which isn’t always easy to identify at first. It’s a bit of a trial and error process where we learn about ourselves and others, which feels a bit ungrateful and discouraging at times. Although it’s a process that is well worth it, because you are doing this for you, and you matter most here.
I hope that your relationship with your therapist will improve over time, or that you’ll find one that would suit your needs better. Maybe your current therapist would be an amazing fit for someone else but not you, and that is an okay realization to have - if that is the case. None of this would ever make you wrong for seeking help or sharing about your pain. You are on the right path. :heart:

What is Everything Ends about? Lead singer Corey Taylor: "It's about the last time I tried to commit suicide, and more to the point, the first day I figured out what life was all about. It's about the last day in a life I don't want to remember and about the first day in a life that I am living right now." Please do a react to this as this is very close to home.
This is my favorite Slipknot song
I'm here for the music
You are an expert at this! Salute!
The heart begins to suffer when the soul has given up is an interesting line because It can be interpreted by two ways either you don't take care of yourself or the better way is that when you give up you throw yourself down a twisted hole
Great song. Please do Everything Ends, or A Liar's Funeral
u must try snuff corey acoustic version
You should do falling away from me by Korn and also thoughtless by Korn I love ur videos I love your reactions and how goofy u are while watching these also ur very pretty
Would love to hear you react to Map Change from Every Time I Die. Extremely well written and poetic lyrics hidden in a hardcore sound
Seeing your reacting, I think I found my song.
ok Im begging now for a react analysis of Everything Ends. Please. Appreciate you tremendously btw.
You should react to falling away from me by Korn. Also maybe check out the band nine inch nails
Sometimes the time you talk about needing isn’t there, isn’t available. The person you trust for one reason or another can’t participate in your life anymore……..love the insight though, as always
Because for some of us it's all we've ever known and it can be just easier to try and try again, because you know you will be able to try and try again until you can't
It's sticking to familiarity when you don't even realize you're doing it sometimes. Because what you want and what you need are often different sometimes. And sometimes you tell yourself the need is so simple you'll obtain it someday, your want is easier to get.
A cycle of knowing.
Why would you keep continuing to suffer when you have the tools to get out? Because when I don't suffer, I don't feel anything. No joy, no sadness, nothing. It makes me want to lay in bed and sleep all day. Me suffering, brings me to another level, it gets me stronger, makes me evolve
Love this song
Taylor love you insight on the videos you have watched. Can you please analyze Unleashed by Epica. I'd love to hear what you have to say. Keep it going. You have done a great job.
You should really listen to "The Chapeltown Rag" from this album. It has a music video too.
keep up the amazing work i love how into the music you get. more songs by slipknot would be sic, surfacing, spit it out live download 2009, the heretic anthem, aov, killpop, all out life. should also checkout stuff from the singer corey taylor's other band stone sour as well as his solo stuff more singing less screaming and growls.
from stone sour: bother, through glass, 30/30-150, made of scars, digital (did you tell), say you'll haunt me, gone sovereign/absolute zero, tired, do me a favor, song #3, fabuless.
from solo stuff: black eyes blue, cmft must be stopped, from can to cant
I want to see this therapists react to Gwar- have you seen me? or GG allin
sun doesnt rise-mushroomhead, Id love to see that song on here.
Fun fact: the way you explain letting people come to their own conclusions is the only way I try yo give advice. It needs to come from within and all you can do is keep showing people the silver lining and not accept when they say things that are destructive as well.
You should do more system of a down, i really enjoyed watching those 4 episodes, and if you will, could you do Prison song or Question! Edit: Lonely Day could also be an interesting one
That closing scene, I think, was original drummer Joeys first mask when they started. He left/was fired in 2013ish
He had passed in the 12 months before this video, letting it float away was a beautiful goodbye.
You have to react to This Cold Black!!!
If you haven't, Do react to Wrong Side Of Heaven by Five Finger Death Punch. It's a heavy (emotionally) song.
As much as I want to see you react to Disasterpiece I really want to see you break down "Me Inside" and "Diluted" as they are both songs that makes scense to me in my most depressive days, in all of my selfdestuctive behaviour, in all of my self pitty that I wallow in as I really feel like beein alive is slowly killing me. Please react to them
it is also kind of like that old adage you can lead a horse to water but you cannot make them drink. "put your hands into the water let your mouth go sick and dry"
You still have to check out diluted
My neighbors love this song sooooo much they invited the police to have a listen 🤘
Obvious comment but you’re really really good at this
Thank you so much for the comments about solution vs understanding. Leading the person feeling trapped. Going through a really really tough time with my wife who wants to get a divorce. I'm working way too hard trying to change her mind,because she's my world. Love her to death. Thr reason for this is, she just stopped loving me one day, she says. No fights, no cheating or other dramatic reasons to it, feelings just disappeared after 9 years of together, 2 beautiful kids and only 1 years of marriage. The situation right now is that she's basically stopped talking to me whilst we're alone and the kids has gone to bed. The thing she told me just a few days ago is excactly what you just described, she's feeling trapped. And my "manbrain" (in lack of another word) is only searching for and offering solutions. You've pretty much opened my mind up a bit so a kinda understand what she actually means by that. So thank you so much. ❤
How about mushroomhead? Maybe carry on or qwerty?
For a slipknot song about releasing anger, listen to "get this"
do Bone Church next!
🤟🤟🤟
I nominate ''The Blister Exists'' from Slipknot
Check out Megan targett from the band vexed euphoria trauma. One take
Eyeless
Love slipknot but would love to hear snotty nose rez kids

Бодрая тётя 👍
I just survived a suicide attempt after being "down" (prison) almost a decade, before I was released. I almost died and struggle every day. I didn't want to get out, and I still don't know what the hell is up with the world out here. it's a song about living after completely failing at life, using it.That's my interpretation. She's on point though as well
From AliceBlue: @user-bu4kf3uy6w I wanted to reach out because I lost my partner to suicide not too long ago. My heart goes through so many emotions whenever coming across someone who has attempted and who has made it out alive to the other side.
I know that life isn’t going to be sunny and happy, but you aren’t alone. I am bloody proud of you for being here.
From Alex08: @user-bu4kf3uy6w Not gonna lie, I've also survived a suicide attempt. It was half assed, I was 13 at the time, 8th grade. I gave up, and I can't tell what I regret, trying or giving up. This world is fucked and I have no clue what's going on either.
From Micro: @user-bu4kf3uy6w Thank you for being here with us, friend. Your presence in this world makes a whole lot of difference, even it doesn't necessarily feel that way right now. Pain has this way of overshadowing the beauty of our own soul and darken everything around us. It's hard to see beyond it, hard to believe that we absolutely deserve to stay. I hope that, since this attempt, you have managed to take good care of yourself and of your heart, even if it has to do through very small gestures a little bit everyday. You deserve good thing, friend, first and foremost from yourself, regardless of what may have pushed you to be in prison before.
I can only imagine how the shock between being there and going to the outside world must be. It must feel somehow as if your safety gets completely removed, that you have to re-learn "how to life" all over again, without real support through this process. I would imagine that prison could feel safer in the way it's organized *for* you, while being outside feels like every decision you make (or don't make) become your full responsibility - which is a vertiginous shift to experience. I don't know for how long you were there either, but I would imagine that being a part of this world again, outside of prison, must feel absolutely chaotic. Everyone seems to know what they have to do and are focused on their own life while you try to figure out what you are going to do the next day. It's like looking at an anthill in its fullest activity and feeling like you're completely outside of it, wondering how possible it can be to join this circus again. It would almost feel like a joke was made on you as you have to re-learn from scratch and can't move back to your place of safety again.
I'm sorry that this major transition has been so brutal for you. When you are in an institution and get used to how it works, it feels like a shock to come back to the "real" world as if what you just lived was only under parenthesis. While really, when you were there it was your *entire* experience and you were fully present to it. In a different manner, people often experience this when coming out of a psychiatric ward for months if not years. It makes you feel like you became were so dependent on the system around you, in the institution, that re-learning to embrace your own agency once outside feels absolutely overwhelming and intimidating.
I hope with all my heart that you will keep staying, and maybe that you will surround yourself with people who will be able to listen and support you through this life transition. You can find your way through this, you can feel empowered again and lead a life that would feel right for you, even if it's in a different environment. You have the strength within to navigate this major life transition. This world is better with you in it. Really. :heart:
What you describe at the end is very similar to the socratic method
I have the same depression and nobody else seemed to care about me anymore 😓😓😓😓
From AliceBlue: @draxsshadows1655 My heart goes out to you. From one stranger to another, I just want you to know that you do matter. That your words and feelings matter. I care because anyone who feels this way deserves to know that someone out there sees and hears them.
You deserve to know that you do not have to do anything to deserve love and compassion and empathy.
From ManekiNeko: @draxsshadows1655 It is very hard to feel like you are just existing and the world around you doesn’t stop to allow you to take time to unbury yourself from this piling rubble.
It’s like there’s so much motion and madness in the world so how could anyone have time to stop and take note or care about our lives?
The great thing about a space like this is that it’s designed for those who feel left behind to be allowed to be seen and brought to the front. There’s genuine love and care in this space and it is for you and anyone who feels like you.
I hope that you feel safe to express yourself, I hope you know that there are people who care and mostly I hope you know that you have been seen and cared about
From Micro: @draxsshadows1655 So sorry friend that you've been experiencing that kind of loneliness and isolation all together. It's awful how depression can create so much distance between the people we love and ourselves. Sometimes by pushing us to isolate or because we wouldn't have enough energy to connect with others as we used to. And sometimes by feeling completely unseen or misunderstood by the people we look up to, as depression is overwhelmingly present for the one who's living it, but can remain invisible to people around them. It's like carrying a freaking veil in front of your eyes that makes everything dark and heavy, but you're the only one who sees it.
It's so hard to find the right balance and connections while you are leading your own battlles, and I imagine that it must have been hard for you too. It's hard because it feels like most people can't understand or don't even want to. That somehow, being depressed is scary and pushes people away, even the ones who may have promised to be there. It's heartbreaking to feel like no one cares, that no one SEE you really or hear your pain, while on your side it feels like everything is tainted by the shadow of depression. It's like you're burning inside out but no one notices, making you wonder if people even care about you in the first place. Just brutal.
To echo what our friends said above, it is absolutely true that you deserve to feel safe, loved and cared for, especially as you are dealing with depression, which *challenges* our connection with others in so many ways. You matter friend. You really do. Rest assured that if you ever need a space to talk, be yourself unapologetically and be *seen* as you are, with your own part of vulnerability, then you have that space right here. You are loved. :heart:
Please do you’re self a favor and look up papa roachs song last resort if you haven’t heard that then the one I want you to react to is that some reimagined by falling in reverse pleaseeee love you’re videos
Please do Killpop 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞
Trauma sharing . Dropkick murphys memories remain interested in your thoughts
My 5 year old daughter can sing this whole song😊
Next band try black tongue.
Vc é linda até sem maquiagem 💄👁️
You need to listen to Purity and Surfacing
Look up Megadeth when
Try korn - daddy or anything of king 810 that's the real mental deep shit
What’s the thing Lest ye cast first stone or something like that needs to look at themselves
You NEED to react to "Hospital For Souls" by Bring Me The Horizon, you will not regret
People stop listening to you when you complain about the same thing over and over and do nothing to fix it. We all have friends who have come to us with their problems and we try to help and/or we give them advice but they keep ignoring our advice or refusing our help. We stop listening to them because we can only repeat ourselves so many times before we just give up. It’s a victim mentality on their part. At some point, that person needs to help themselves because no one else will.
I would love and curious to see your break down of slipknot the heretic anthem, if you are 555, I'm 666

Disasterpiece???
