    It is important to keep his exact context in mind. Although she may be accurately describing the trauma response, the underlying assumption was wrong. He was suffering due to a physical illness, Lyme Disease. He unfortunately went through years of misdiagnoses of mental illnesses where he was repeatedly told it was all in his head.

    ❤Falling through the cracks is easy, finally starting to rebuild trust in the medical industry after countless experiences that many times left me worse than when i built up the courage to ask for help.

      I'm in the same boat. Ren encouraged me to stop giving up after gross negligence in the medical industry(one resulting in complete kidney failure and rhabdo). I've fired my doctors and moving on to the next. Medicaid doesn't provide the quality of Dr a disabled person needs(physically and mentally). The system and lack of care has ruined my life for the past 15 yrs. It's not how I FELT about the industry, it's how it IS. Naivety towards this issue keeps us in the shackles. 💜💜💜

    I see someone else has mentioned Ren's Chapters where he bares his soul and even goes back to a place where he did not really want to go, in order to open the door to some issues around the medical profession and the pain that he has gone through.
    I would encourage any "Therapist," whether practicing or studying, to at least watch Chapter 6 found on RenMakesStuff. These Chapters are Ren's personal story leading up to the release of his latest music video "Troubles." No I don't believe he hates doctors and/or therapists. He does not have a bone of hate in him. He just wants them to do better. That message is very clear.

    I think it’s always important to remember that Ren isn’t against medication or all health professionals, but he is very much against doctors or therapists who don’t listen to their patients or really try to figure out the underlying cause but instead just prescribe pills. He got misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder after a one page questionnaire and met a lot of doctors who treated him like a hypochondriac. Also my guess is that the words by the female character here is things he has literally been told when it’s a female voice and when she is lip syncing to his voice it is an interpretation of the way he was treated, as (hopefully) no one would actually say those words outright and with that attitude. I understand that resources don’t always allow health care professionals to devote as much time to each patient as they might want to, but still. As Ren says in his 1 mil subscribers video, it is the duty of the medical industry to do better so less people fall through the cracks. Hopefully songs like this and Troubles as well as the 8 chapters telling his story will help push for change.
    For more Ren, I highly recommend Crutch feat. Bibi, Chalk Outlines (live) with Chinchilla, Seven Sins, and Lost All Faith. Just to name a few 😅
    Anyway thank you for being aware that patients might not always show how they’re actually feeling and that you might need to dig a little deeper. I have definitely had times seeing psychiatrists or psychologists where it becomes difficult to open up because they say something like “you look like you’re doing well today” when I enter the room with a smile on my face even if that’s just how I greet people. I guess it can be problematic to be too friendly…

    • @Therapy2Day
      @Therapy2Day  4 месяца назад +2

      Yes absolutely, this video needs to be a reminder for medical professionals to collaborate with clients, because we aren't the ones living their lives.
      And also, yes, I try not to assume how someone is doing and let them tell me. If something doesn't seem to match, however, I may bring up that they were looking smiley but are saying they are doing terribly, and let them explain the apparent contradiction. I try not to assume.

      ​@@Therapy2DayI've seen someone comment before about how once something gets stated in your medical file, everyone who looks at it after, takes it as fact and doesn't question it. I can't believe it took so long for someone to realize that Ren wasn't bipolar. I was lucky, I think, in that once my previous doctor retired, my new doctor actually listened to what I was saying and didn't rely on the other doctor's assumptions and I was finally able to be diagnosed with fibromyalgia after complaining about my pain for years. I think the younger doctors must be learning something differently and are more empathetic with their patients. During COVID anytime I had an appointment she was sure to ask how I was doing mentally as well which I found really surprising.

    Awesome that he is reaching professionals and giving them a genuine insight of how it feels to go through these problems with our health care providers. Personally I have to choose between dealing with my physical pain and extreme Meniere's dizziness, because they will not allow me to have pain meds. No two class 1 drugs in my area. Combination of neck and back injuries that caused permanent nerve damage. I chose to counter the dizziness, because struggling with level 8 pain is better than laying on the floor puking for hours on end every other day is harder than trying to walk across the room. Both cause depression. It's a messed up system for sure

    My thoughts are that the connection he's making between the two narratives in the track is that it's all exploitive because of the money game (he literally has a trilogy about the "money game"). That his experience with the medical community from his point of view is that it's just interested in exploiting people for money. Then he looks inwards at his growing fame, how the music industry just exploits artists for the money and whether or not he's also exploiting people with the types of music he creates.
