I'm an ex-addict with 13 years clean. When my active addict friends ask my advice, I clearly tell them that I can only speak on MY OWN experiences. 13 yrs clean doesn't make me an expert on addiction. Too bad Rewired Soul doesn't understand that concept.
A lot of addicts think they're psychologists after they get sober. That's exactly what this guy is doing. Giving psychological advice without being a trained or accredited professional. It's wrong and potentially illegal.
That's why i wasn't a fan of NA when i got clean. It's one thing to suggest advice but it's completely different to preach it regardless if the person wants it or not while acting like you're all knowing about the subject matter. It made going to meetings feel really cliquey and like i would be ripped apart for any small mistake they potentially saw or heard me make. It's great NA and AA work for so many people but it just wasn't for me for these reasons. I've been clean for over 3 yrs now and have been in regular therapy but i can't stand when people claim to give advice when they're really just preaching about what they believe and shoving it down anyone who will listens throat. I think it's fine to give psychological advice to someone based off your own experiences and knowledge but you need to remember that you're not an expert and tell whoever you're talking to, to also see a mental health professional in regards to whatever you gave them advice about. I feel like there's a fine line between constructive advice/input to offensive commanding/ harassing where it ends up feeling like you're being talked down to.
@@maceface2892 First off, i doubt you'll end up like him if you have enough self awareness to recognize you don't want to be like that. And second off, in my opinion, the only recovering addicts that end up like this are the ones that only recovered from using drugs but didn't put any work into changing the lifestyle and perspective of mind that led them to using which is why they still do such shitty things and are always involved in some sort of drama.
Yeah, Christ, anyone who criticises him is the bad guy, what snakey fucker. I love that in his reply to a comment criticising his snap judgement of people based off small parts of their lives, he MAKES A SNAP JUDGMENT BASED OFF OF ONE COMMENT. Dude needs to go back to the shrink, as someone with the same qualifications as him.
The people who defend him with "it's just a piece of paper, to discredit everything he says because of a piece of paper is ridiculous" make me laugh so hard. Like okay, I had my kidney removed and I read alot of medical books on how to perform surgery, will you kindly let me perform your surgery for you? Actually no I will forcibly do it, despite you asking me to stop, I will do it because it is my duty, because I'm helping you in the long run! A piece of paper? No I don't need a piece of paper, I'm anti college! Scalpel please!
@@silent_stalker3687 Would you mind giving me one of those blunt instruments to hit my head after reading this comment? Wait no *OwO keyn i get uan bwunt instrumonths plis? i waent two hwit my heid yeow~*
On my opinion I see a "piece of paper" like something you get because you proved yourself worthy of a specific profession. Worthy enough to be considered "a professional". I know there's probably flaws to what I said but that's just my opinion
Oh yeah, totally. Especially if she qualified before you were born, cuz all her credentials get passed through the umbilical cord to you. In fact, you were born clutching the certificates in your tiny little hands👐😊
Madame Gin i believe this was the first video made about the rewired soul. a little while later many more videos were made on him as people started to realise how shady he was
my dead dad's uncle's brother in law's second cousin to the third right of god's aunt's class friend's favorite singer's brother's pet salamander's grandfather's least favorite brother's mail man's dog is a psychologist, that means i am one too!!!
I feel like Primink is a very smart, honest, and intellectual person. He brings light to cloudy situations. He does large and factual research on every topic he Amelia video on. And shows both sides of the controversy he is talking about.
@@Kat.15.07 he's just a really bad Hollywood snake, everything is fake in his group plus there were really credible rape allegations toward his close friend
I went off The Rewired Soul when he made a video on Emma Blackery's BPD diagnosis. She didn't want to talk about her diagnosis beyond letting people know she had it and TRS made a whole video about how she should feel more positively about her mental illness and should be expected to be an advocate for mental health. It was obvious that it really upset Emma. I think of a lot of his videos come off as kind of exploitative and I also think he plays armchair psychologist a lot. It seems like he started out with a genuine interest in mental health but now I think he cares a bit too much about views and subscribers, not the people he's making videos about who can be hurt by his actions. Now he's just a drama channel masked as a mental health channel.
@@Jonqen She didn't want to. It's not much different than asking a person with a disease to talk about it even though it makes the sad & uncomfortable.
I know that a lot of people have been giving you shit about this video... But as a *Real Licensed Therapist*, he is completely wrong about his "career". No real therapist puts out blanket statements, like he does, about strangers on the internet. It's incredibly irresponsible. It's unethical. He's just a hobbyist that has learned that views equal money and money equals power.
@@abandonedaccount161 The way you speak and call me "bro" shows me what kind of person you are. Me saying he's not real doesn't mean he doesn't exist ;)
Wired System lol yes it does like the slender man he’s not real and he doesn’t exist or like ash from Pokémon sure he’s real in the show but in real life he doesn’t exist in real life that’s why he isn’t real... do you get it now? “The way you speak and call me bro shows what kind of person you are “ lol 😂😂😂😂😂
After coming back and rewatching your video, I am so sorry for defending him when this originally came out and I'm glad he is getting called out for his manipulative and gaslighting behavior. His channel just feels like a scam in itself which feels icky.
@@ceciliaalexander8881 Can't argue with ya on any of that. I haven't even watched a video about or by Rewired Soul since this one. Smh... Stay safe out in this icky world, Cecilia!! Edit :fixed a few fucked up grammatical areas and sentence structures.
I was biased before this vid and automatically was on The Rewired Soul’s side. But within less than an hour I did my little research and saw some of his disturbing responses and I can now clearly see how manipulative and hostile Chris really is.
Why are people taking any RUclips channel at face value? Enjoy the entertainment factor, do your own research and especially for mental health and other medical stuff do what the majority of these content creators say about seeking out a professional if you have concerns.
SAMEEE. I am sad & ashamed to express how big of a follower I was to him. You can just tell by LOOKING AT HIM just like Trisha was implying, that he is wayyy too overly aggressive and wants to threaten these poor drama channels. Sick.
To be fair, he has said he used to be a very manipulative person in one of his videos. It really seems like he has put in the effort in to change, but those traits don’t go away quite as easily as you may think.
He makes me so uncomfortable... His face and voice are uncomfortable. Also your giggle is fucking precious I hope you have a lovely day and I’m so glad I subscribed. Mwah uwu
I AGREE. I’ve followed The Rewired Soul since the beginning. I have unsubbed because he is a man in denial about what his true motives are. He’s on a righteous high horse. Stampeding through creating content that makes him a hypocrite. Mental health is important to him, yes. High-tempered, egotistical, unprofessional gossip is also important to him. If he hid less behind “mental health” his behavior would concern me none. To anyone struggling with their mental health, please be careful with what you consume as “good examples of mental health”
It seems like he started off with his heart in the right spot, but once he started gaining popularity you can see where he started changing his content. I've been following him since before he got popular as well and there's definitely a difference in the type of content he puts out now. Maybe he figured it was the easiest ways to get views and maybe he's always saying he's not a drama channel because he doesn't see it that way, but that's kind of what it's turned into at this point. He does have some good points with some subjects, but he could definitely run his channel in a more productive way.
Alligatoranater I think everyone should unfollow him. There’s soo many videos showing everything. How he’s laughing in texts about causing harm towards Tricia. He’s a manipulator. I thought he was good bc he’s a good manipulator.
I can’t believe the thumbs up on my post. I hoped but did not expect that so many people would see him as clearly as I did. He responded to one of my comments a few weeks back. His response was very troubling when I only wrote to be constructive. Especially troubling considering what he posed to be. I hope he finds clarity and learns to be honest with himself. I hope that everyone who followed his preach and was negatively influenced is finding their clarity too. It was really strange to hear him repeat the words I called him in my original comment... He outlined some of his faults in his apology video. Will look further into what people are saying about videos where he discusses money/views/greed etc....
Around the time I found the rewired soul I was going through a (licensed!) alcohol recovery program - 8 months sober now! I subscribed as I thought it may be a good place for me to receive some extra motivation, but after a few weeks I came to realise that his attempt to be harsh but fair towards RUclipsrs always had a nasty, arrogant tinge to it. What really made me start questioning his channel was when people would give him any kind of constructive criticism and his responses were always extremely defensive and dismissive of any view that does not 100% align with his. I had sent him a PM describing my struggles with alcohol addiction after my fiance was killed and received no reply. This wouldn't usually bother me, RUclipsrs are busy after all, but he would *always* have the time to belittle literally anyone criticising him, but not the time to send a message to a subscriber suffering.
I'm sorry for your loss... I've been through the same. And Time is not A healer.. But it does get better! And you have to take each day as it comes, and just do as well as you can... I found so called professionals to be useless, I could relate more with someone or persons who'd actually been what id been through and NOT Text book knowledge! There's millions of blogs and vlogs of people who've been through same stuff, and listening or reading their stories helped me. I found support groups to be TOO Traumatic! As I'm a sponge and would feel and take home their pain! So I suggest you try and find what fits you! As we're all different and our healing process is not a one size fits all! Wishing you all the best! The internet was my friend in my recovery... I had to shut myself away as much as I could, not exactly healthy in itself! But it's worked for me, and now I'm ready and planning to live! And some adventures are on the cards! I'm going travelling at the grand old age of 44 and try find myself again, and Chuck myself in the deep end so to speak, so instead of sinking, I'll swim! Sending you love n peace n healing vibes! If you ever want an ear? Or heart of soul to listen to you? You're welcome to message me! Take care! Fox Xx
@@Foxys1974 Thank you! The past 8 months of recovery have been amazing. I also found group therapy sessions a bit too much for me - I often walked out feeling worse than when I walked in! I found comfort and help from a combination of a great addiction therapist, a supportive family, a close friend that had already kicked her habit, and like you - solitude!!! I would spend days and days alone without speaking and then suddenly realise I felt better than I had. Slowly, slowly, slowly I am feeling like a whole person again - but it was with ZERO help from that bloke.
Hi. I just wanted to tell you that I'm very sorry you lost your fiancé. I can't imagine your pain. I wish you well and I hope you can heal your heart and start again and hopefully the future will bring you happy times. X
Omg dude like you WARNED us before anyone else, but other channels kept discrediting this video... Well would you look at the situation now lol TRS has lost all credibility (as well as a few subscribers).
"other channels" aka repzilla the cowardly scumbag who acts like a nice guy but will delibrarly bully a depressed pregnant mother to a mental breakdown in order to send it to drama channels in order to protect his "bro"
Okay but I do want to point out that Kati Morton is a marriage counselor. That doesn't mean she's qualified on all things mental health. She's certainly more qualified than this guy. She has a degree in psychology. But she still spread misinformation when she was on Shane Dawson's channel.
I’m a psych student but I would never think that it would be ok for me to diagnose people. I could observe and give suggestions, but the most I’ll advise is to seek help, and avoid self-diagnosing.
@@jaimeclevenger4116 There's a lot wrong with that. Unqualified opinions can be extremely harmful especially to people who struggle with mental health. That's the reason why only qualified and experienced psychologists and psychiatrists give diagnoses.
As a mental health professional myself, it's appalling how much this guy is making judgements about people that he doesn't even know in real life. Even if he did know them, judgements are a big no no in clinical psychiatry. He wouldn't last a week at my organization. He has no business pretending that anything he says has any therapeutic or clinical value.
Arent you people kinda coddling these people with mental illnesses? treating them with kids gloves? Isnt that kinda enabling them to remain mentally ill and forever on medication? I mean, has anyone ever been really treated of their mental illness without medication?
terminaldeity .he is bringing everything out into the open so we can end the stigma . . Psychiatry/ therapy is bogus anyway always has been. It’s all about money. “Capitalizing on the misfortunes of others” . . Junk science . . Imagine earning a living off of a person’s sanity . . If they are cured you are out of a job,right? Keep them on strong psych meds and youRe in business. Let’s not forget Columbine and Sandy Hook . .there is so much more
In response to Chris's comment to you Primink, you should have said, "If I had a depressed friend then I would recommend therapy PRIVATELY. I wouldn't insult and criticize them in front of the entire internet... because that would make them more depressed. Public humiliation can have that effect. Duh. " The Rewired Soul is either deeply misguided or intentionally exploitative. I go back and forth on that.
I like the theory someone else had that he's a narcissist, which would allow him to kind if be both. He's intentionally exploiting these people because he doesn't it matters "so long as as much people as possible hear HIM speak", he says that all the time in his videos to justify his clickbait. Personally, I think he's deluded himself into thinking he's God's gift to the mentally ill, and is willing to do exploitative shit like this in order for everyone to hear him talk, because he has the real answers, yet for some reason needs clickbait to keep people watching. I much prefer Psych_IRL, she seems a lot more grounded and is far more respectful and less accusatory in her vids.
@@TheAltair2012 I'll have to check her channel out. Personally, I'm quite fond of MedCircle. It manages to be entertaining while not engaging in clickbait or dramatic bullshit. And the channel brings on real psychologists, psychiatrists, and occassionally people suffering from a certain mental illness to discuss their experience. They actually did a great series on Narcissistic Personality Disorder...
I would have also added "These people you're forcibly diagnosing also aren't your friends. They don't know you in real life. You probably don't even care that much about them." As for The Rewired Soul's intentions, I think he's doing it more for views than anything. He could have stuck to talking about general mental health but it was only when he hit that niche market with diagnosing famous RUclipsrs and realizing that got him more views that probably changed his course, and thus, changed his intents as a channel advocating for mental health awareness. He knows there's a section of RUclips where people do like trying to diagnose RUclipsrs with various mental health issues and it's almost like he decided that he likes being front and center on the platform with his videos. His message about mental health has definitely gotten lost once he turned his channel into a Diagnosing RUclipsrs Drama channel.
Well this didn’t all age well 😂 “David’s an angel” and promoting Kati Morton as a really good mental health advocate and therapist... My my how times have changed 😅
THANK YOU. This loudmouth's been getting on my nerves so much, especially with how he milked the hell out of Illymation's abusive ex-boyfriend story and a bunch of other drama sitches on youtube. He really isn't helping anything at all either. What a waste of a good concept.
The fact that he tried to milk illymaition’s story as if it were just the same as the usual RUclips drama is absolutely appalling, she wasn’t spilling tea, she was publicly sharing the story of being a emotional and sexual abuse survivor. It’s so gross.
Yeah that's him to a T. He doesn't give a damn about the facts but the dramatization. I'd watch a TV show that does the same thing than listen to an asshole make it up as he goes.
Theres a trend on youtube fam. It's called "Months After Primink". Mah dude. You put out videos on people and then months later everyone puts out the same vid like its brand new information. This guy. Patty mayo. What even?
Never liked this guy. If he was a real advocate for mental health, he wouldn't be airing out people's personal information about this. He always has been a drama channel.
Just like it's rude to play armchair therapist to someone during a conversation without permission, it's also rude to psychoanalyze someone on a public platform. A real mental health professional would realize this.
@@thecrimsonender Jace Miller he uses examples from the public eye for his viewers to understand the bad or the good in the example for their/others mental health. Unwanted criticism for the good of others does more good than it does harm.
As someone studying Psychology I’m really surprised that more people aren’t critiquing his method. To analyze these topics from the psychological perspective (of someone else’s life mind you) you have to assume and fill in a lot of gaps since you don’t know them or their situation. Anyone in the science field (even Chris with his very limited credentials) should understand that everyone has confirmation bias, he projects a lot of his issues and ideas into these people and their situations because he is not an expert and hasn’t appropriately conversed with these people to have a proper educated opinion. He’s a better marketed Peter Monn and that’s about it.
I feel like people aren't critiquing him is because a lot of people thought he was a professional in this field, like he has a license and studied psychology. I sure did and I just thought that's what you people did but boy was I wrong
I tried to comment this exact thing saying how old his bullshit is getting tryna act like he knows everything on a psychology level, and all his fans attacked me saying he’s a great guy and I’m a hater like nah a few videos , Ohk I get it. But after like 5 just stop , that’s enough neff you don’t know everything.
"As someone studying psychology" * proceeds to say something basic & widely accepted & not at all exclusive to psychoogy or complicated science jargon * Yall "i did psych 101 for 2 semesters" are just as obnoxious as this dude lol
EDIT: I WROTE THIS COMMENT 2 OR 3 YEARS AGO, I DONT EVEN REMEMBER WRITING IT, I WAS A TEENAGER, AND I HAD MUCH TO LEARN. that being said, i've been getting so many notifications over the past *months* of people replying to me and it's getting kind of irritating. I didn't want to just delete my comment because I didn't want all of you to lose your replies, but for new people who want to add a comment: please dont do it as a reply to me. Start your own thread. Thank you. as much as i agree with what trisha said, the statement "once an addict always an addict": 1. is bullshit 2. delegitimizes the hard work and pain that addicts go through to get clean 3. gives people the idea that theres no point in trying to get help because theyre destined to always be an addict no matter what 4. is all around a really damaging thing to say to her millions of impressionable fans
I think she means that addicts has a taste of being addicted to euphoria that comes with being high on whatever and therefore, can always relapse to get the taste of euphoria again or may be prone to relapsing more than others? I dunno, I’m not sure.
@@calamityechoes3496 My stepdad is a recovering addict, he's like a year clean now. He says that you're never truly clean because anything, even down to location, can trigger a relapse.
couldn't agree more, I don't like rewired as much as she does, but she always seems to take her criticisms too far and say things that simply aren't true
You know I really think he started out with good intentions, and then RUclips money started coming in. And then he started looking into passive income to advertise to his viewers, whose numbers just kept increasing by the popularity of the content creator he talked about. I haven't watched his videos in a while because its the same stuff over and over again, but maybe he's also become a little arrogant. It's too bad, I really liked what I thought he was gonna do with his channel.
Kitty Carpenter I thought that too. He loves the money and has possibly actually convinced himself that he’s doing something good. Being poor my whole life, hell, I imagine I’d have a bit of a time adjusting to a suddenly successful RUclips channel. He’s still a piece of shit.
@A G Yes, I've seen his videos. I was subscribed to him and enjoyed him until he started getting soooo over the top with his clickbait. Using Jason Nash's children in his title for clickbait honestly grossed me out so bad I unsubbed and see him in a different light.
My uncle’s dad’s dog’s girlfriend’s brother’s family’s killer’s mailman’s cat’s church’s chicken’s mom’s egg is a doctor, so I can do open heart surgery
50,000 Subscribers With No Videos yo why does everybody have your profile pic? Idk if I’m crazy but I’ve been seeing it everywhere and I think I missed the meme
He can claim he’s not diagnosing all he wants but he’s implying diagnosis. Just like someone going “I’m not saying this person assaulted someone but here’s all the ways he could have assaulted someone”. It’s an implication. Especially by his thumb nails and titles. When you study journalism you learn that people often read headlines and titles and take it as fact without reading the full article. Someone can read his Gabbie Hana video where he has anxiety and avoidance disorder right next to her name and someone could take that implication as fact and say she has avoidance disorder which she has never publicly admitting to having and even if she does have avoidance disorder it’s her choice to tell the world about that
He implies diagnosis because he is trying to teach lessons based off of whatever diagnosis he is trying to teach about. He finds a youtuber, celeb, whatever that is exhibiting similar symptoms to whatever he is trying to discuss and use it as a teaching method for his followers and more importantly his son. Its a teaching method, its used by more than just him. Also.. people can assume alot of things. Its not his fault that people dont click on his videos and watch them and only go off the title. He even says in his videos there is a reason he does the title and thumbnails the way he does (kind of clickbaity) and its because of the algorithm. Most of his videos arent even really about the person in the thumbnail as much as his own personal stories/experience he just uses similiar situations with youtubers because its relatable to alot of the youtube audience and makes it easier for the viewer to visualize. Just like with Shane Dawson and the Jake Paul sociopath thing. Shane highhhhllyyyyyy implied Jake was a sociopath with literally everything about that series and even used videos of jake to visually explain Sociopatch characteristics so that we could see how one MAY act, it.was a visual. Chris is doing he same thing here.
@@paigebrantley737 the difference between shane and this rewired soul guy is the fact that shane agreed to collab with jake & made aware of the focal point of the series before it went public. Trisha and Bobby, on the other hand, were never asked & clearly vocalized their discomfort with what he is doing and told him to stop. He didn't, and he comes back with a video basically saying, "Hey I'm not technically claiming anything about you, just making some points and assumptions based on your public activity though it might not be factual correct." You can claim all you want about how this guy is doing nothing wrong. It still does not change the fact that he is a douchebag.
As a RUclipsr with Dissociative Identity Disorder and a mental health advocate thank you so much for bringing this to light as this guy was spreading misinformation about DID and other mental illnesses.
I'm pretty sure that he's breaking a couple of HIPAA codes. oh but wait hipaa doesn't apply to him because he isn't a licensed professional who is diagnosing people with their permission haha
Is it not illegal, in the state where he resides, to present yourself as a therapist when you clearly aren’t?. In the UK certain professions can’t be imitated not can qualifications be intimated. Although not exhaustive these are just a few of those included: Dr’s, Solicitors and Therapists. I’d argue that his training course certainly implies that he had the necessary qualifications to work within that field. Unless he clearly declares this, he should be in deep shit. Has this all been reported to the authorities where he lives? He is a bully and is so full of self importance that he believes that raising his voice and throwing in a few buzz words amongst waffle, will suffice. I wonder whether his Mummy actually wrote these books? Given that Mummy was on his channel promoting and endorsing his channel she should really worry about her own job. As she clearly stated in one video - he doesn’t need any qualifications!! I hope to goodness that he never returns to RUclips but unfortunately his ego simply won’t be able to stay away long.
@@katiekat1302 I'm sure it is; it's incredibly illegal to have some form of medical practice without the proper credentials. I think he's been able to weasel himself out of it by saying, "Look, this isn't a diagnoses, buuuuuuut (insert his diagnoses here). Im sure there are other loopholes he's been able to take advantage of as well.
Boyism he’s not breaking HIPAA laws, even if he was licensed. These people are not his clients. HIPAA is for your clients confidentiality- Chris does not TREAT those people so therefore he is not breaking any confidentiality agreements.
@@marvelouspino98 I think the difference is that Dr Phil comes from a very educated psychological background. Having a ba, MA, and PhD all in psychology fields. Even though he doesn't hold current licensure, he has had his own private practice, before he was given the golden ticket to an easy life by Oprah. Although, I don't care for his show, or what he does, I don't think it's a fair comparison.
I don't understand how anybody thought he was a real psychologist. Diagnosing people and discussing peoples private and technical details on the internet is not professionally acceptable behaviour. I'd reckon it'd be okay for a lawyer or engineer, but probably not a medical professional of any kind.
I do think that he started his channel being concerned for mental health. However it seems like he gave in to the views those videos got him. People change easily. I just hope he stops bothering other youtubers. We don't really need more drama.
Yeah, i started following Chris when he had less than 300 subs and just did Mental Health videos a few times a week, and they were so good. Now he is in my feed 4 times a day doing drama. And quality has dropped a lot. I keep subbed because i hope it goes back to what it was.
But you gotta admit people would sleep on mental health if it wasn’t made relevant to things in social media and in the situations surrounding controversies and the people we look up to.
Dp Sm You’re not getting the point. The whole reason he makes videos based on RUclipsrs is because they get more views. Hence more people watch them because viewers can relate to them more. He makes it very clear in his videos (if you watched them) that he is not making videos for the people he puts in the thumbnail. It’s for the viewers. I could go on but you could also just watch his videos and see for yourself.
He's just replacing substance abuse with the dopamine hits he's getting from rambling incoherently while constantly putting high search posters in his titles.
Finally someone said it!!!!!!!!! People commonly move their addiction from one thing to another and he is clearly addicted to attention, being seen as valued and having skills others don't have, and MONEY. He's also projecting a lot of dysfunction onto other people while being dysfunctional himself. Making 3 videos a day to keep getting that dopamine hit rather than sit in a room with himself for a night says a lot about how badly you want that fix.
@@zoewynne8433 exactly, it's been obvious ever since he started getting attention he's just escalating. Prime example was a video of his I saw yesterday I can't even remember the content because he couldn't have cared less was 85% rambling about unrelated things as filler and a small mention of the topic used for clickbait in the title.
@@gingerbreadfork_ Did his rambling mention his girlfriend Tristan?!! or him being a dad,??! or being in recovery!!?? Cause he must spend 4 hrs a day yelling that stuff into a camera, while his gf sits somewhere else getting some peace & quiet and his son is who knows where!? Not suggesting he's a bad dad, but I'm guessing he's a dad who spends his custody time turning everything into a teachable lesson and couldn't name 1 thing that happened to the kid that day.
@@zoewynne8433 yeah that's basically the template for all his videos lol if you watch one and actually look for the content it's "implied" to be about you barely find any he usually sneaks it into the last part so you feel like there was much more of it because it's the last thing you hear. Has anyone actually seen "MY BEAUTIFUL GIRLFRIEND TRISTAN"? Look she's probably real but I honestly wouldn't be surprised if she's made less of organs and more of latex or just an imaginary prop to make him seem more likable.
If he was a trained professional, he would never try to diagnose someone over the internet because he would know that you *can't* get an accurate diagnosis that way. Sure, it's important to point out toxic behaviour online and start a dialogue, but that isn't what he's doing. He isn't bringing awareness to mental health issues, he's exploiting them for views and money.
I’m so glad someone made a video on this guy. First time I saw a video of his in my suggestions when he was a lot smaller I watched it and felt so weird about him and his content. He gives off a very strange vibe and has no education or training on mental health so he has no business discussing it. Playing an internet psychiatrist is so irresponsible.
Same. Weird vibes. I think the thing about is that he comes off as unprofessional and borderline disrespectful sometimes and that's not what we expect from mental health advocates.
I have a ba in psychology and his behavior, actions, and words always set me off. Something was always off about him pushing his experiences and projecting on others. Its interesting to watch him but take what he says with a grain of salt.
His mother IS a psychiatrist and he also was a counsellor in a rehab. He never claimed to be an expert, but very few practising psychiatrists have the time to give information and advice for free on the internet DAILY. you might not like his methods of using celebrities but I've never once witnesses him give objectively bad advice. It's all advice I could have used back when I was being abused and struggling with alcoholism.
lemon ste “his mother is a psychiatrist” okay? And that means he is? Even if he was a psychiatrist he shouldn’t be online mixing RUclips drama with mental health. Psychiatrists don’t give free info online because their job is to diagnose people with mental illness. You can’t possibly do that by talking about a RUclips video or things you tubers do. It could all be a persona, or they could really be shitty. Point is he, or anyone, doesn’t know shit about these youtubers real lives. I think you all are mixing up psychiatrists with psychologist. Psychologists would be the ones to give more “advice”
I totally agree - except about Katie Morton. I liked her channel up until she did the Shane Dawson series and basically spent an entire episode “diagnosing” a person she had never met as being a possible sociopath (despite that not being an area of treatment she is a specialist in) and speaking about mental illness in a non inclusive manner (using terms like “yucky”) and then when fans voiced concerns she called them haters and never addressed the issue. I was so seriously let down by her behaviour - super disappointing.
i agree. i have conflicting thoughts about her sometimes. she does have good information about eating disorders which helped me a lot but it made me confused how she went totally unprofessional in the shane series!
Wouldn't she be rather knowledgable in sociopaths, psychopaths, etc? Since her area of expertise is marriage counseling, where she'd then also have to be knowledgable in personality disorders in order to make it so she can pinpoint the issues affecting a marriage that may be out of the marriage - or relationship two may have - itself? Marriage counsiling would require you to be an expert in multiple fields.
@@GoodFunVideos depends what she did her subject on. Considering she is a marriage counsellor, I doubt she haa anything more than what her books tell you. A psychiatrist would be way more versed in those types of mental health disorders. She's just a cheap marriage counsellor. People give her way too much credit on her knowledge 😂
i’m SO glad someone is talking about this dude. all of his videos get shoved down my throat in the recommendation page. and he constantly contradicts himself and places himself on a higher pedestal than everyone else.
kerry fredericks omg same he is Serisouly so annoying I always hit the "im not interested" button anytime he pops up😂 but since im subscribed to primilink and also fuck this guy Serisouly😂 hes so full of shit. Yeah hes good at retaining information and then placing it in others situations but god good he is like someones big uncle that just wont shut the fuck up
Same! I really didn't like the videos he made about Illymation. The title was something in the lines of "Why Illymination shouldn't talk about her ex", can't remember it precisely. But it annoyed me. Like bitch, don't tell other people how to deal with their traumatic experiences. He's not even qualified.
I liked Chris at first. I felt like he really had some knowledge I could learn from in the beginning when he’d discuss anxiety and depression and stuff. Then when he started going after you tubers I started watching him less... so sad to see his downfall. Thought he was such a genuine person. smh.
Keem! I like you because at least you're honest and having fun with your channel and content. This other guy is exploitive as fuck and just *wishes* he was you.
The guy's response to this video comes off as passive-aggressive. Tbh, the dude seems like a closet narcissist. All his cronies in the comment section are cringy as well honestly.
ReikaWolf exactly and every argument he tries to make on ANY topic always ends up in “I was as an ex drug addict and that happened to me..”. Every time I hear that it stresses me out, he thinks that he can relate to everything. He compares eating disorders, toxic relationships, bipolar disorder etc. to his drug addiction as if everything is somehow the same
Yeah, and he's always talking about girls that he's dated in the past. It's pretty wired that he keeps bringing them up, like dude, your hand didn't count as a girlfriend.
Do not call me cringy. My son was killed. Losing him suddenly has been the most nightmarish thing you could ever imagine. Watching Chris has probably saved my life. Not that a video of his could fix something so horrific but the techniques he’s taught me have kept me hanging on. I know one place where prim is dead ass wrong. Kati is not better suited to help someone bc of her schooling. My mother owned five treatment centers. Hands down the best counselors were the ones without schooling but with life experience. The ones with a degree but no life experience never had as good of a success rate. Chris has studied his ass off. He’s helped me and I’m not easily fooled or ignorant by any means. I think prim joking about cocaine and wearing a shirt that says I wanna die is dangerous. How’s that? Coming from someone who is barely hanging on I think that’s horrible. I could care less if he makes one dollar a year or a million the help he has given to ppl like me is priceless.
I genuinely was under the impression he was licensed. How the hell did I miss that? 😫 I got weird vibes but honestly I haven’t watched enough to think hard about this dude’s credentials. He DOES regularly say “clients” etc 😒 I’m a clinical mental health grad student starting my 3rd year of my program, and I would never feel qualified enough at this point to make videos like this. Holy crap
I don't think he necessarily has bad intentions, but he's very misguided. I've suffered from severe clinical depression, and I had well meaning friends and family say things like "try meditation!","maybe it's your diet","have you tried juicing?", "have you tried this or that supplement?","you should exercise!" And on and on and on. That's absolutely a terrible approach because for one, people with mental health disorders have already heard those things countless times, and if doing those things were so simple or worked, they would have recovered a long time ago. But that's pretty much all this guy is doing. Also, it's not as simple as "just getting therapy", because in order for therapy to be effective, you have to be READY for it. Therapy takes a lot of time and mental energy and not everyone with mental health disorders is at a place where they are truly ready to jump that hurdle.
I think he's truly trying to support and promote good mental health practices and even in the videos about specific youtubers he has a lot of good points. However, I think he's biased toward his own content and is in denial about the damage it can have to make that many videos about one person. Do these youtubers actually have the problems Chris thinks they do? Maybe. But that's for them to take care of if they choose to, and putting a spotlight on them won't help. I haven't seen all of the videos, but I have watched some here and there and the ones I did only spoke about the specific youtuber for the first few minutes while the rest of the video focused on stories from his own experiences and the general person with X disorder or issue. So in my opinion he /does/ focus on the solution, at least in some videos. But making that many videos about one person really adds up. It's excessive and maybe a better way to talk about these problems would be to keep who he's talking about anonymous.
The flip side of that is the reason he uses youtubers as examples is because people relate to them and he mentions them by name because that's the only way people who may benefit from the advice will click on the video. I do think he can get excessive and post too much on one RUclipsr at a time, but he doesn't diagnose them and the videos are more geared for the people who see the problematic behavior and think "lol, me." But his discord is actually helpful in bringing people together so they don't feel alone and can connect with others going through similar struggles.
12:40 I actually physically winced hearing you say that with all that has since happened with her. Yes, she may be licensed but she stepped way, way out her lane in the documentary with Shane Dawson. Especially since she is a licensed couples therapist and not a psychiatrist, who could actually tell you in-depth information about the disorders from their education _and_ experience treating patients with these disorders, not just read the definition word-for-word from the DSM-5. She did almost as much harm to the mental health community as TRS. She acted extremely unethically(meeting Jake Paul as a “producer” knowing she was actually there to assess him w/o his consent), spread dangerous misinformation about mental health disorders and was just seemingly fear mongering during that series. She gets a platform speaking to literally tens of millions of people about mental health and what does she do? Calls these disorders, and the people with them, “eeky” and “gross”. Rant over!
Hi! I'm studying to be a psychiatrist (in my last year) and i did multiple practices with actual psychiatrists. They (or the ones I worked with) use the DSM to diagnose since they need actual evidence that the symptoms that the patient is experiencing belongs to a mental illness. However, I agree with you on the fact that she was extremely unprofessional in that video. (btw sorry if my english is bad, this isn´t my first language).
Yes, I agree. A REALLY good psychologist to watch is Psychology in Seattle. He watches TLC shows as a way to help his viewers see if they identify with relationship issues the people on the show may be exhibiting.... basically showing us all how we all need therapy. He's always got disclaimers about how he can't diagnose these ppl from a tv show. He's excellent.
Also what is with his "If you had a depressed friend, you wouldn't recommend therapy?" thing. Yes, I would recommend therapy if I knew they hadn't tried it and thought they would benefit from it.....I wouldn't gossip about them to another group of friends publicly enough for them to hear it (the parallel of his videos if these people actually were his friends, which they are not).
He once made a video basically accusing RUclipsrs with (professionally diagnosed) DID that they're attention seekers and are faking it. He made another video basically calling Emma Blackery 'selfish' for not wanting to discuss her BPD publicly or to (understandably) be the face of BPD, as if he's entitled to the details of another person's mental health. Another fun fact is that he once diagnosed his past self with BPD, it's hilarious how he's not even professionally diagnosed himself (and isn't a trained professional) but feels like he can tell another person with it how to approach their BPD.
The fact he replied to your comment with that kinda proves your point. I mean, he admits he drew conclusions of who you are from a single comment. So if hes willing to draw a conclusion of who you are from a couple videos and a comment, he most certainly isnt qualified to be diagnosing people
@@BL-hw4mn No, he just pretends like he knows who these people are and the lives that they lived when he clearly shows that he is quick to jump to conclusions
@@BL-hw4mn His disclaimer doesn't change he talks about people he doesn't know and who don't want his help. He does diagnose people and you are delusional. He has no qualifications so should keep his mouth shut talking about depression and things he isn't qualified to talk about. He isn't licensed in any way and repeatly talked about Trisha paytas even after she has said she wants him to stop. He exploits people for views and money. His mother is qualified not him. He is a just a gossip who says I think this person has this and should get help.
@@BL-hw4mn His intentions may be good but his methods are plagued with selfish tendencies and seemingly a righteous attitude in which he believe he is morally superior because he can 'recognize problematic signs' or 'identify symptoms' I'm assuming you're trying to defend him because you've found help in his videos or something along those lines and you're by no means wrong to do so but to deny his tendency to think he knows all even though he doesnt have credentials and to deny his incompetence in admitting when he is wrong is just plain silly.
As someone who is actually in training to become a therapist and getting a master's degree in Counseling Psychology, it makes me sad how much attention this guy has garnered and the messages that he's promoting. We have long conversations in some of my classes about people like him and why it's ethically wrong to do what he's doing.
You’re so stupid, continue “training” while he actually has numbers on his side of lives he’s saved and helped from doing the same thing he does about youtubers. The same way I don’t need a degree to call you an idiot, he doesn’t need a degree to tell his followers not to grow up to be selfish ego maniacs like some of the youtubers he talks about with substance abuse problems. Fuck whatever “training” you’re going through, especially because I know a lot of therapists and not one of them ever referred to their schooling or career as “training” how do you “train” to be a therapist???? Lmaooo you don’t bitchhhh
I was 100% with you on this... until the very end. ...Kati Morton?... Really?... After your whole tirade on BetterHelp (which I do agree with), you recommend her - I find it very hard to believe you have followed her work and somehow managed to miss the very publicly shamed fact that she was one of the BIGGEST BH shills.
I mean this is a pretty stupid argument really considering the fact that Morton is still a LICENSED therapist with specialist knowledge regarding mental health and makes videos purely to help and inform people. Don't get me wrong I am NOT defending BetterHelp, nor am I defending Morton's endorsement of it. But if we are judging Morton purely on her capacity as a mental health channel, she is absolutely solid. Just because she endorsed BetterHelp does not mean that she has any responsibility for that scandal (let's be realistic: she endorsed them for money, and probably did not investigate the service in depth at all), that scandal does not define the quality of her content, and her association with that scandal does not automatically make her guilty by association. If you are a semi-rational person, you would be able to separate her channel and an over-blown scandal and realise that we are judging her channel by its merit alone. Kati's channel is a FAR better channel for mental health as she is not simply an ex-drug addict pretending to be a licensed therapist. If you lack the capacity to analyse the merits of her channel in this way and are simply fixated on a media scandal that is long in the past, then you really aren't being fair, reasonable or logical in your analysis, are you?
Exactly yeah she stopped but it was because everyone was calling her out. And I'm sorry but if you're going to promote something when you have a platform especially do your research and do it well before you start. So in my opinion all the youtubers who promoted it either didn't or didn't care.
@@Lucas-kn4zu For a RUclipsr, their channel and their personality are inherently interwined. Kati's garbage personality renders her channel garbage by association. I can't take mental health advise from someone who did what she did in the Shane Dawson docuseries, regardless of how comprehensive her work on eating disorders might be. She's just another parasite exploiting YT drama and the mental illness debate to get ahead.
I really don't like him, he's so patronizing for people (calling Trisha "baby girl", "honey" or something like that is very inapproptiate and I don't even like Trisha that much. He's answer for you was very accusatory and shaming for just telling your opinion about him, like you'd done something wrong, even if he's doing that about everyone else and in way more condemnatory way. He's so manipulative). He's face makes me feel really uncomfrotable. And he's a real drama channel, more than iNabber for example wtf.
"I learned more about you, and that's too bad, man"??? Wow. That's rich. I was already offended on your behalf because although I'm a fairly new sub, I know about the fundraising you did recently for mental health awareness, so that jab made me laugh outright, but then you go and reveal his $8 emotes and his bullshit $100 one-hour online course! My jaw hit the floor upon hearing that. And while being an ex-addict is all the qualification you need to head up your local 12-step meeting, it does not give you license to diagnose and recommend treatment to absolute strangers based upon what they choose to reveal to the world through their social media platforms. I am so glad I never got into this guy's content now, because today...if I may borrow and bend a quote.... ~ahem~ I learned more about him, and that's too bad, man.
Glory Hulle don’t just take someone’s word for it and actually go watch his videos. He doesn’t diagnose anyone and that’s why he recommends therapy because he’s not a precessional. This guy has helped me so much and has made me feel encouraged to go to therapy and my life has been so much better. I don’t mean any disrespect but you should check him out and form an opinion for yourself.
@@quirkyblackenby The whole time? Did you know the fifth edition is full of contradictions? It's used as a guideline. She should stick to her field of expertise ruclips.net/video/EecJv9PQXmw/видео.html
I'm so glad you brought this up. I used to be subscribed to him but I went through the same process that you did of slowly going from supporting him to disliking him. I don't remember who the video was about, but I unsubscribed after he made a shameless clickbait video, said halfway through the video that he was just joking and that whole video is, in fact, clickbait, then spent the remaining half of the video talking about his Facebook support group or whatever it was. I was already getting suspicious when he defended better help, but I felt like this was just an insult to the intelligence of his audience.
Not to mention that she also diagnosed Jake Paul with anti-social personality disorder in Shane's series when it's not her field of expertise, she never talked to him AND called the disorder creepy & saying she wanted to take a shower after discussing the symptoms with Shane. No professional in their right mind would diagnose someone they've never met before. Gave me an icky feeling about her.
Claudi S. Honestly that comment about wanting to take a shower after just discussing the symptoms of Antisocial personality disorder is so disgusting. Sociopaths aren’t bad people they have a mental illness that they can’t control. And even though they probably don’t give a shit about her or her opinions, but it makes me so angry when youtubers suddenly are psychologists or hire people who aren’t even qualified to diagnose people with those disorders. Like you can’t watch someone’s videos and then say they can diagnose someone because of those videos ( which are highly edited and cut out things that show the whole picture) my lord.
@@flimsyenthusiasm5769 "makes me so angry when youtubers suddenly are psychologists" god that triggered me, that whole fucking year of jacksepticeye trying to be the pillar of positive mental health when hes a lets play channel I think he even talked with Kati, lmao god that was an annoying time to watch him
@@DeezN00tz99 Bro fuckin legit stopped watching jack because of that. He used to be great but he just hit this full on mental health train. Like bro you are known for fucking happy wheels and the escapist lmfao
You absolutely nailed it Primink! Once you cut through the fluffy psycho-babble, his primary motivation is clearly money and attention. He is dangerous and unethical and needs to be called out.
THANK YOU. I used to watch him (for like a few days) but he eventually rubbed me the wrong way and I unsubed. No matter how many videos of his I try to dismiss and even though I have him blocked his videos continue getting recommended to me. I can’t stand him
Kati Morten is even more problematic. She is a family therapist but a lot of other professionals have criticized her heavily, specially when she starts talking about stuff outside her area of expertise. She is also heavily involved in the better help drama. (Rumoured to even be a part of the company) so take her words with a grain of salt
But that doesn’t mean she isn’t licensed in her specific field. She made a mistake in the Shane series but her mistakes aren’t exactly comparable to TRS and don’t entirely make her opinions meaningless. Yes, she has limitations in some areas, but she is still licensed and practicing.
Artillery Princess she was featured in Shane’s Jake Paul series and made some super unprofessional comments about people with anti-social personality disorder (sociopaths). She also followed Shane to Jake’s house to “see” if he was a sociopath from her perspective, which is also very troubling. Why I really disliked Kati for this when she did it, that doesn’t negate the fact that she is licensed - in marriage and family counseling. And while her decisions to work with better help and work with Shane are questionable it doesn’t negate the fact that her videos are well researched and she is licensed with a degree.
i remember him popping up on my recommendeds and it was always about illymation's video of her abusive relationship with her ex. all the titles were very..uncomfortable? idk how to explain it, but i never really liked them.
I think some of this criticism is valid, but as someone who just got out of a rehab program, I will say that being a recovering addict who now works as a therapist gives you a LOT more credit than you’d think. There were therapists at my program that had master’s degrees and even one with a doctorate but you could always spot those therapists that were recovering addicts and they were usually a lot better because they *got it* (and could accurately call out your bs) better than any of the others. Experience is the greatest teacher especially when it comes to addictions. It’s not like skin cancer because it’s centered around behavior which often comes from the subconscious, not black and white technical expertise.
Yeah whats a peice of paper compared to living what youre giving advice for? You always hear bussines advice to intern because you'll gain so much more that way. Thats how i view rs. But he always lets people know that they should get help if they think something is wrong with them. So really he knows hes not taking any therapists place, so i dont understand why theyre all getting so worked up over a guy just giving his 2 cents in...
I agree with this. My psychiatrist was a patient in the eating disorder program she now is a part of before she took that path. I’ve seen a million and one psychologists, psychiatrists etc and even though there’s times I’ve wanted to hate her, she is the best psych professional I have ever had. Because she GETS it and she knows what actually helps vs what doesn’t because she has been there.
@Danny Torrance equally stupid?its called common sense. If someone has been through something theyre going to have their own set of answers to be given as advice. May i add people get to decide whether or not they take it.
Being experienced in addiction, and being able to coach others through their addiction is very very different from a lot of the stuff Chris talks about. If he stuck to addiction and toxic relationship advice, I don't think hed have any backlash at all (well, if he stopped assuming people were drug addicts that is)
I'm an ex-addict with 13 years clean. When my active addict friends ask my advice, I clearly tell them that I can only speak on MY OWN experiences. 13 yrs clean doesn't make me an expert on addiction. Too bad Rewired Soul doesn't understand that concept.
This probs doesn't matter to you coming from a random girl on the internet but good job being 13 years clean. :)
Echoing previous comment: really wishing you the best!
8 years clean myself, have channel etc
And i agree 100%.
Great job on 13 yrs clean
congrats on your sobriety, hope all is well
A lot of addicts think they're psychologists after they get sober. That's exactly what this guy is doing. Giving psychological advice without being a trained or accredited professional. It's wrong and potentially illegal.
Yeah no.. We are all fucked up.. the only advice we can give is how to get clean and hopefully stay clean but take it a day at a time..
That's why i wasn't a fan of NA when i got clean. It's one thing to suggest advice but it's completely different to preach it regardless if the person wants it or not while acting like you're all knowing about the subject matter. It made going to meetings feel really cliquey and like i would be ripped apart for any small mistake they potentially saw or heard me make.
It's great NA and AA work for so many people but it just wasn't for me for these reasons. I've been clean for over 3 yrs now and have been in regular therapy but i can't stand when people claim to give advice when they're really just preaching about what they believe and shoving it down anyone who will listens throat.
I think it's fine to give psychological advice to someone based off your own experiences and knowledge but you need to remember that you're not an expert and tell whoever you're talking to, to also see a mental health professional in regards to whatever you gave them advice about.
I feel like there's a fine line between constructive advice/input to offensive commanding/ harassing where it ends up feeling like you're being talked down to.
I'm trying to get sober right now but honestly, if I just end up like this douche, I think I'll just stick with the drugs
@@maceface2892 Not all recovering addicts are like him
@@maceface2892 First off, i doubt you'll end up like him if you have enough self awareness to recognize you don't want to be like that. And second off, in my opinion, the only recovering addicts that end up like this are the ones that only recovered from using drugs but didn't put any work into changing the lifestyle and perspective of mind that led them to using which is why they still do such shitty things and are always involved in some sort of drama.
It shocks me this guy actually thinks that publicly harassing RUclipsrs is "pro-mental health"

I went off The Rewired Soul when he made a video on Emma Blackery's BPD diagnosis. She didn't want to talk about her diagnosis beyond letting people know she had it and TRS made a whole video about how she should feel more positively about her mental illness and should be expected to be an advocate for mental health. It was obvious that it really upset Emma. I think of a lot of his videos come off as kind of exploitative and I also think he plays armchair psychologist a lot. It seems like he started out with a genuine interest in mental health but now I think he cares a bit too much about views and subscribers, not the people he's making videos about who can be hurt by his actions. Now he's just a drama channel masked as a mental health channel.

I was biased before this vid and automatically was on The Rewired Soul’s side. But within less than an hour I did my little research and saw some of his disturbing responses and I can now clearly see how manipulative and hostile Chris really is.
Same
Why are people taking any RUclips channel at face value? Enjoy the entertainment factor, do your own research and especially for mental health and other medical stuff do what the majority of these content creators say about seeking out a professional if you have concerns.
SAMEEE. I am sad & ashamed to express how big of a follower I was to him. You can just tell by LOOKING AT HIM just like Trisha was implying, that he is wayyy too overly aggressive and wants to threaten these poor drama channels. Sick.
To be fair, he has said he used to be a very manipulative person in one of his videos. It really seems like he has put in the effort in to change, but those traits don’t go away quite as easily as you may think.
Ame2847 agree. He is manipulating all of his followers
He makes me so uncomfortable... His face and voice are uncomfortable.
Also your giggle is fucking precious I hope you have a lovely day and I’m so glad I subscribed. Mwah uwu
I AGREE. I’ve followed The Rewired Soul since the beginning. I have unsubbed because he is a man in denial about what his true motives are. He’s on a righteous high horse. Stampeding through creating content that makes him a hypocrite. Mental health is important to him, yes. High-tempered, egotistical, unprofessional gossip is also important to him. If he hid less behind “mental health” his behavior would concern me none. To anyone struggling with their mental health, please be careful with what you consume as “good examples of mental health”
B B right, if he just said he was a drama channel who like to focus on mental health I’d give him less shit but he’s in denial, denial
It seems like he started off with his heart in the right spot, but once he started gaining popularity you can see where he started changing his content. I've been following him since before he got popular as well and there's definitely a difference in the type of content he puts out now. Maybe he figured it was the easiest ways to get views and maybe he's always saying he's not a drama channel because he doesn't see it that way, but that's kind of what it's turned into at this point. He does have some good points with some subjects, but he could definitely run his channel in a more productive way.
Alligatoranater I think everyone should unfollow him. There’s soo many videos showing everything. How he’s laughing in texts about causing harm towards Tricia. He’s a manipulator. I thought he was good bc he’s a good manipulator.
I can’t believe the thumbs up on my post. I hoped but did not expect that so many people would see him as clearly as I did. He responded to one of my comments a few weeks back. His response was very troubling when I only wrote to be constructive. Especially troubling considering what he posed to be. I hope he finds clarity and learns to be honest with himself. I hope that everyone who followed his preach and was negatively influenced is finding their clarity too. It was really strange to hear him repeat the words I called him in my original comment... He outlined some of his faults in his apology video. Will look further into what people are saying about videos where he discusses money/views/greed etc....
veery true
Your asides are pure gold.
...oh and that giggle: one of the most beautiful sounds I've ever heard.
You're a delight, my friend.
Around the time I found the rewired soul I was going through a (licensed!) alcohol recovery program - 8 months sober now! I subscribed as I thought it may be a good place for me to receive some extra motivation, but after a few weeks I came to realise that his attempt to be harsh but fair towards RUclipsrs always had a nasty, arrogant tinge to it. What really made me start questioning his channel was when people would give him any kind of constructive criticism and his responses were always extremely defensive and dismissive of any view that does not 100% align with his. I had sent him a PM describing my struggles with alcohol addiction after my fiance was killed and received no reply. This wouldn't usually bother me, RUclipsrs are busy after all, but he would *always* have the time to belittle literally anyone criticising him, but not the time to send a message to a subscriber suffering.
I'm sorry for your loss... I've been through the same. And Time is not A healer.. But it does get better! And you have to take each day as it comes, and just do as well as you can... I found so called professionals to be useless, I could relate more with someone or persons who'd actually been what id been through and NOT Text book knowledge!
There's millions of blogs and vlogs of people who've been through same stuff, and listening or reading their stories helped me. I found support groups to be TOO Traumatic! As I'm a sponge and would feel and take home their pain!
So I suggest you try and find what fits you! As we're all different and our healing process is not a one size fits all!
Wishing you all the best! The internet was my friend in my recovery... I had to shut myself away as much as I could, not exactly healthy in itself! But it's worked for me, and now I'm ready and planning to live! And some adventures are on the cards! I'm going travelling at the grand old age of 44 and try find myself again, and Chuck myself in the deep end so to speak, so instead of sinking, I'll swim!
Sending you love n peace n healing vibes!
If you ever want an ear? Or heart of soul to listen to you? You're welcome to message me!
Take care!
Fox Xx
@@Foxys1974 Thank you! The past 8 months of recovery have been amazing. I also found group therapy sessions a bit too much for me - I often walked out feeling worse than when I walked in! I found comfort and help from a combination of a great addiction therapist, a supportive family, a close friend that had already kicked her habit, and like you - solitude!!! I would spend days and days alone without speaking and then suddenly realise I felt better than I had. Slowly, slowly, slowly I am feeling like a whole person again - but it was with ZERO help from that bloke.
Hi. I just wanted to tell you that I'm very sorry you lost your fiancé. I can't imagine your pain. I wish you well and I hope you can heal your heart and start again and hopefully the future will bring you happy times. X
I just watched his apology to Trisha Paytas,AND THAT WAS NOT AN APOLOGY!! SOUNDED LIKE THREATS TO ME!! And this is from an outsider looking in!
He also deleted it so even he knows he fucked up
What did he say in the video about Trisha?
Omg dude like you WARNED us before anyone else, but other channels kept discrediting this video... Well would you look at the situation now lol TRS has lost all credibility (as well as a few subscribers).
Nice
"other channels" aka repzilla the cowardly scumbag who acts like a nice guy but will delibrarly bully a depressed pregnant mother to a mental breakdown in order to send it to drama channels in order to protect his "bro"
Okay but I do want to point out that Kati Morton is a marriage counselor. That doesn't mean she's qualified on all things mental health.
She's certainly more qualified than this guy. She has a degree in psychology. But she still spread misinformation when she was on Shane Dawson's channel.
I think this video post was pre Shane Dawson collab era. Idk maybe she's nkt being exposed back then?
I'd like to know more about this
Exactly
@@devaraft the video isn't, you can see Primink used a clip of TRS talking about the Jake Paul docco
I’m a psych student but I would never think that it would be ok for me to diagnose people. I could observe and give suggestions, but the most I’ll advise is to seek help, and avoid self-diagnosing.
He never did
He is just stating his opinion. Nothing is wrong with that! 😃
Same
@@jaimeclevenger4116 There's a lot wrong with that. Unqualified opinions can be extremely harmful especially to people who struggle with mental health. That's the reason why only qualified and experienced psychologists and psychiatrists give diagnoses.
chris doesnt diagnose people
As a mental health professional myself, it's appalling how much this guy is making judgements about people that he doesn't even know in real life. Even if he did know them, judgements are a big no no in clinical psychiatry. He wouldn't last a week at my organization. He has no business pretending that anything he says has any therapeutic or clinical value.
I too went to college fir Art Therapy. I second this.
Arent you people kinda coddling these people with mental illnesses? treating them with kids gloves? Isnt that kinda enabling them to remain mentally ill and forever on medication? I mean, has anyone ever been really treated of their mental illness without medication?
terminaldeity .he is bringing everything out into the open so we can end the stigma . . Psychiatry/ therapy is bogus anyway always has been. It’s all about money. “Capitalizing on the misfortunes of others” . . Junk science . . Imagine earning a living off of a person’s sanity . . If they are cured you are out of a job,right? Keep them on strong psych meds and youRe in business. Let’s not forget Columbine and Sandy Hook . .there is so much more
He dosent . . .Just wants to bring it out in the open and end the stigma . . End the psych drugs that cause suicide . . Professionals are after money.
Are you a psychologist or psychiatrist... or what’s your specific title/credentials?
In response to Chris's comment to you Primink, you should have said, "If I had a depressed friend then I would recommend therapy PRIVATELY. I wouldn't insult and criticize them in front of the entire internet... because that would make them more depressed. Public humiliation can have that effect. Duh. "
The Rewired Soul is either deeply misguided or intentionally exploitative. I go back and forth on that.
I like the theory someone else had that he's a narcissist, which would allow him to kind if be both. He's intentionally exploiting these people because he doesn't it matters "so long as as much people as possible hear HIM speak", he says that all the time in his videos to justify his clickbait.
Personally, I think he's deluded himself into thinking he's God's gift to the mentally ill, and is willing to do exploitative shit like this in order for everyone to hear him talk, because he has the real answers, yet for some reason needs clickbait to keep people watching.
I much prefer Psych_IRL, she seems a lot more grounded and is far more respectful and less accusatory in her vids.
@@TheAltair2012 I'll have to check her channel out. Personally, I'm quite fond of MedCircle. It manages to be entertaining while not engaging in clickbait or dramatic bullshit. And the channel brings on real psychologists, psychiatrists, and occassionally people suffering from a certain mental illness to discuss their experience. They actually did a great series on Narcissistic Personality Disorder...
I would have also added "These people you're forcibly diagnosing also aren't your friends. They don't know you in real life. You probably don't even care that much about them." As for The Rewired Soul's intentions, I think he's doing it more for views than anything. He could have stuck to talking about general mental health but it was only when he hit that niche market with diagnosing famous RUclipsrs and realizing that got him more views that probably changed his course, and thus, changed his intents as a channel advocating for mental health awareness. He knows there's a section of RUclips where people do like trying to diagnose RUclipsrs with various mental health issues and it's almost like he decided that he likes being front and center on the platform with his videos. His message about mental health has definitely gotten lost once he turned his channel into a Diagnosing RUclipsrs Drama channel.
Well this didn’t all age well 😂 “David’s an angel” and promoting Kati Morton as a really good mental health advocate and therapist... My my how times have changed 😅
don't forget about shane dawson
Finally someone has called out this guy.
I know. I hate when in he is in my recommended.
Glad I'm not the only one who find him fucked up and has been waiting for someone to call him out!
Right I have been waiting for someone to call him out too smh
Dang homie did you get almost 10k subs just cuz your name ?? Now that’s freaking genius 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
This guy out*
THANK YOU. This loudmouth's been getting on my nerves so much, especially with how he milked the hell out of Illymation's abusive ex-boyfriend story and a bunch of other drama sitches on youtube. He really isn't helping anything at all either. What a waste of a good concept.
I unsubbed him because I was tired of actually having to look at his face and hearing him.
The fact that he tried to milk illymaition’s story as if it were just the same as the usual RUclips drama is absolutely appalling, she wasn’t spilling tea, she was publicly sharing the story of being a emotional and sexual abuse survivor. It’s so gross.
Yeah that's him to a T. He doesn't give a damn about the facts but the dramatization. I'd watch a TV show that does the same thing than listen to an asshole make it up as he goes.
If he were a licensed therapist, he'd probably lose that license if he did what he's doing.
He can actually get in very big trouble giving out advice the way he
Is he’s not a licensed therapist he can get sued
Probably
Corne lia eh he could always pull a doctor Phil
Primink: “Everyone’s got their kinks” while showing a photo of toes.

Theres a trend on youtube fam. It's called "Months After Primink". Mah dude. You put out videos on people and then months later everyone puts out the same vid like its brand new information. This guy. Patty mayo. What even?
I know loool Chris is getting exposed hard now.
Your comment confuses me
The Primink Touch lol now i wonder if people will make more videos on repzilla now
@@rosxjun 100% yes.
Donut did patty mayo before him. Donut would even mention it before he made a dedicated video on spoiled mayo.
Never liked this guy. If he was a real advocate for mental health, he wouldn't be airing out people's personal information about this. He always has been a drama channel.
Personal information? It's public information dear.
He is an informative channel, you would know if you have watched one if his videos.
What he talks about is all public information. He’s taking examples from the RUclips community to talk about mental health.
Just like it's rude to play armchair therapist to someone during a conversation without permission, it's also rude to psychoanalyze someone on a public platform. A real mental health professional would realize this.
@@thecrimsonender Jace Miller he uses examples from the public eye for his viewers to understand the bad or the good in the example for their/others mental health. Unwanted criticism for the good of others does more good than it does harm.
As someone studying Psychology I’m really surprised that more people aren’t critiquing his method. To analyze these topics from the psychological perspective (of someone else’s life mind you) you have to assume and fill in a lot of gaps since you don’t know them or their situation. Anyone in the science field (even Chris with his very limited credentials) should understand that everyone has confirmation bias, he projects a lot of his issues and ideas into these people and their situations because he is not an expert and hasn’t appropriately conversed with these people to have a proper educated opinion. He’s a better marketed Peter Monn and that’s about it.
I'm sure he'd love to talk at length about confirmation bias - in everyone else on youtube or who he's come across irl, lol
I feel like people aren't critiquing him is because a lot of people thought he was a professional in this field, like he has a license and studied psychology. I sure did and I just thought that's what you people did but boy was I wrong
I tried to comment this exact thing saying how old his bullshit is getting tryna act like he knows everything on a psychology level, and all his fans attacked me saying he’s a great guy and I’m a hater like nah a few videos , Ohk I get it. But after like 5 just stop , that’s enough neff you don’t know everything.

as much as i agree with what trisha said, the statement "once an addict always an addict":
1. is bullshit
2. delegitimizes the hard work and pain that addicts go through to get clean
3. gives people the idea that theres no point in trying to get help because theyre destined to always be an addict no matter what
4. is all around a really damaging thing to say to her millions of impressionable fans
Maya Ben-Dror she’s an addict herself. I agree with you tho.
I think she means that addicts has a taste of being addicted to euphoria that comes with being high on whatever and therefore, can always relapse to get the taste of euphoria again or may be prone to relapsing more than others? I dunno, I’m not sure.
@@calamityechoes3496 My stepdad is a recovering addict, he's like a year clean now. He says that you're never truly clean because anything, even down to location, can trigger a relapse.
Even if you're clean, you're still an addict. You're still addicted to drugs. You're just not using.
couldn't agree more, I don't like rewired as much as she does, but she always seems to take her criticisms too far and say things that simply aren't true
You know I really think he started out with good intentions, and then RUclips money started coming in. And then he started looking into passive income to advertise to his viewers, whose numbers just kept increasing by the popularity of the content creator he talked about. I haven't watched his videos in a while because its the same stuff over and over again, but maybe he's also become a little arrogant. It's too bad, I really liked what I thought he was gonna do with his channel.
Kitty Carpenter I thought that too. He loves the money and has possibly actually convinced himself that he’s doing something good. Being poor my whole life, hell, I imagine I’d have a bit of a time adjusting to a suddenly successful RUclips channel. He’s still a piece of shit.
If I had a depressed friend I'd try talking to them-not make 15 videos blasting how I think they need help all over the internet..
@A G Yes, I've seen his videos. I was subscribed to him and enjoyed him until he started getting soooo over the top with his clickbait. Using Jason Nash's children in his title for clickbait honestly grossed me out so bad I unsubbed and see him in a different light.
I can’t believe he tried to manipulate the situation to make you look bad. *ALL YOUR POINTS IS WHAT I THOUGHT* I don’t feel so alone anymore

Just be sure to listen to both sides of the story, and then every thing will be okay! Just be more careful next time. :)
He can claim he’s not diagnosing all he wants but he’s implying diagnosis. Just like someone going “I’m not saying this person assaulted someone but here’s all the ways he could have assaulted someone”. It’s an implication. Especially by his thumb nails and titles. When you study journalism you learn that people often read headlines and titles and take it as fact without reading the full article. Someone can read his Gabbie Hana video where he has anxiety and avoidance disorder right next to her name and someone could take that implication as fact and say she has avoidance disorder which she has never publicly admitting to having and even if she does have avoidance disorder it’s her choice to tell the world about that
fightmefairy Well said. Cheers!
He implies diagnosis because he is trying to teach lessons based off of whatever diagnosis he is trying to teach about. He finds a youtuber, celeb, whatever that is exhibiting similar symptoms to whatever he is trying to discuss and use it as a teaching method for his followers and more importantly his son. Its a teaching method, its used by more than just him. Also.. people can assume alot of things. Its not his fault that people dont click on his videos and watch them and only go off the title. He even says in his videos there is a reason he does the title and thumbnails the way he does (kind of clickbaity) and its because of the algorithm. Most of his videos arent even really about the person in the thumbnail as much as his own personal stories/experience he just uses similiar situations with youtubers because its relatable to alot of the youtube audience and makes it easier for the viewer to visualize. Just like with Shane Dawson and the Jake Paul sociopath thing. Shane highhhhllyyyyyy implied Jake was a sociopath with literally everything about that series and even used videos of jake to visually explain Sociopatch characteristics so that we could see how one MAY act, it.was a visual. Chris is doing he same thing here.
because of the... implication
@@paigebrantley737 the difference between shane and this rewired soul guy is the fact that shane agreed to collab with jake & made aware of the focal point of the series before it went public. Trisha and Bobby, on the other hand, were never asked & clearly vocalized their discomfort with what he is doing and told him to stop. He didn't, and he comes back with a video basically saying, "Hey I'm not technically claiming anything about you, just making some points and assumptions based on your public activity though it might not be factual correct."
You can claim all you want about how this guy is doing nothing wrong. It still does not change the fact that he is a douchebag.

As a RUclipsr with Dissociative Identity Disorder and a mental health advocate thank you so much for bringing this to light as this guy was spreading misinformation about DID and other mental illnesses.
Omg labyrinth system I love y’all and your channel 💖 keep up the great content
He’s never even discussed DID at length

How tf r u here
I'm pretty sure that he's breaking a couple of HIPAA codes.
oh but wait hipaa doesn't apply to him because he isn't a licensed professional who is diagnosing people with their permission haha
Is it not illegal, in the state where he resides, to present yourself as a therapist when you clearly aren’t?. In the UK certain professions can’t be imitated not can qualifications be intimated. Although not exhaustive these are just a few of those included: Dr’s, Solicitors and Therapists.
I’d argue that his training course certainly implies that he had the necessary qualifications to work within that field. Unless he clearly declares this, he should be in deep shit. Has this all been reported to the authorities where he lives?
He is a bully and is so full of self importance that he believes that raising his voice and throwing in a few buzz words amongst waffle, will suffice.
I wonder whether his Mummy actually wrote these books?
Given that Mummy was on his channel promoting and endorsing his channel she should really worry about her own job. As she clearly stated in one video - he doesn’t need any qualifications!!
I hope to goodness that he never returns to RUclips but unfortunately his ego simply won’t be able to stay away long.
@@katiekat1302 I'm sure it is; it's incredibly illegal to have some form of medical practice without the proper credentials. I think he's been able to weasel himself out of it by saying, "Look, this isn't a diagnoses, buuuuuuut (insert his diagnoses here). Im sure there are other loopholes he's been able to take advantage of as well.
Dr. Phil falls into this and yet people like him. I fought with most of his fans.
Boyism he’s not breaking HIPAA laws, even if he was licensed. These people are not his clients. HIPAA is for your clients confidentiality- Chris does not TREAT those people so therefore he is not breaking any confidentiality agreements.
@@marvelouspino98 I think the difference is that Dr Phil comes from a very educated psychological background. Having a ba, MA, and PhD all in psychology fields. Even though he doesn't hold current licensure, he has had his own private practice, before he was given the golden ticket to an easy life by Oprah. Although, I don't care for his show, or what he does, I don't think it's a fair comparison.
I don't understand how anybody thought he was a real psychologist. Diagnosing people and discussing peoples private and technical details on the internet is not professionally acceptable behaviour. I'd reckon it'd be okay for a lawyer or engineer, but probably not a medical professional of any kind.
I do think that he started his channel being concerned for mental health. However it seems like he gave in to the views those videos got him. People change easily. I just hope he stops bothering other youtubers. We don't really need more drama.
Yeah, i started following Chris when he had less than 300 subs and just did Mental Health videos a few times a week, and they were so good. Now he is in my feed 4 times a day doing drama. And quality has dropped a lot. I keep subbed because i hope it goes back to what it was.
But you gotta admit people would sleep on mental health if it wasn’t made relevant to things in social media and in the situations surrounding controversies and the people we look up to.
Dp Sm You’re not getting the point. The whole reason he makes videos based on RUclipsrs is because they get more views. Hence more people watch them because viewers can relate to them more. He makes it very clear in his videos (if you watched them) that he is not making videos for the people he puts in the thumbnail. It’s for the viewers. I could go on but you could also just watch his videos and see for yourself.
@@ljb5163 enough said! BUT I second that motion, JUST WATCH THE VIDEOS
Dp Sm he’s not creating drama tho if you watch videos he actually informs and helps people lmaooo
He's just replacing substance abuse with the dopamine hits he's getting from rambling incoherently while constantly putting high search posters in his titles.
Gingerbreadfork this is dark, but I can agree.
Finally someone said it!!!!!!!!! People commonly move their addiction from one thing to another and he is clearly addicted to attention, being seen as valued and having skills others don't have, and MONEY. He's also projecting a lot of dysfunction onto other people while being dysfunctional himself. Making 3 videos a day to keep getting that dopamine hit rather than sit in a room with himself for a night says a lot about how badly you want that fix.
@@zoewynne8433 exactly, it's been obvious ever since he started getting attention he's just escalating. Prime example was a video of his I saw yesterday I can't even remember the content because he couldn't have cared less was 85% rambling about unrelated things as filler and a small mention of the topic used for clickbait in the title.
@@gingerbreadfork_ Did his rambling mention his girlfriend Tristan?!! or him being a dad,??! or being in recovery!!?? Cause he must spend 4 hrs a day yelling that stuff into a camera, while his gf sits somewhere else getting some peace & quiet and his son is who knows where!? Not suggesting he's a bad dad, but I'm guessing he's a dad who spends his custody time turning everything into a teachable lesson and couldn't name 1 thing that happened to the kid that day.
@@zoewynne8433 yeah that's basically the template for all his videos lol if you watch one and actually look for the content it's "implied" to be about you barely find any he usually sneaks it into the last part so you feel like there was much more of it because it's the last thing you hear. Has anyone actually seen "MY BEAUTIFUL GIRLFRIEND TRISTAN"? Look she's probably real but I honestly wouldn't be surprised if she's made less of organs and more of latex or just an imaginary prop to make him seem more likable.
If he was a trained professional, he would never try to diagnose someone over the internet because he would know that you *can't* get an accurate diagnosis that way. Sure, it's important to point out toxic behaviour online and start a dialogue, but that isn't what he's doing. He isn't bringing awareness to mental health issues, he's exploiting them for views and money.
“Before we look at the problem we have to look at the solution.”
Maybe it was just me but I thought that was literally the opposite of how it works
I’m so glad someone made a video on this guy. First time I saw a video of his in my suggestions when he was a lot smaller I watched it and felt so weird about him and his content. He gives off a very strange vibe and has no education or training on mental health so he has no business discussing it. Playing an internet psychiatrist is so irresponsible.
Same. Weird vibes. I think the thing about is that he comes off as unprofessional and borderline disrespectful sometimes and that's not what we expect from mental health advocates.
I have a ba in psychology and his behavior, actions, and words always set me off. Something was always off about him pushing his experiences and projecting on others. Its interesting to watch him but take what he says with a grain of salt.
His mother IS a psychiatrist and he also was a counsellor in a rehab. He never claimed to be an expert, but very few practising psychiatrists have the time to give information and advice for free on the internet DAILY. you might not like his methods of using celebrities but I've never once witnesses him give objectively bad advice. It's all advice I could have used back when I was being abused and struggling with alcoholism.
lemon ste “his mother is a psychiatrist” okay? And that means he is? Even if he was a psychiatrist he shouldn’t be online mixing RUclips drama with mental health. Psychiatrists don’t give free info online because their job is to diagnose people with mental illness. You can’t possibly do that by talking about a RUclips video or things you tubers do. It could all be a persona, or they could really be shitty. Point is he, or anyone, doesn’t know shit about these youtubers real lives.
I think you all are mixing up psychiatrists with psychologist. Psychologists would be the ones to give more “advice”
Also, being a counselor means jack shit. Anyone can be a counselor. highly disrespectful to think they have any business talking about what he does.
I totally agree - except about Katie Morton. I liked her channel up until she did the Shane Dawson series and basically spent an entire episode “diagnosing” a person she had never met as being a possible sociopath (despite that not being an area of treatment she is a specialist in) and speaking about mental illness in a non inclusive manner (using terms like “yucky”) and then when fans voiced concerns she called them haters and never addressed the issue. I was so seriously let down by her behaviour - super disappointing.
i agree. i have conflicting thoughts about her sometimes. she does have good information about eating disorders which helped me a lot but it made me confused how she went totally unprofessional in the shane series!
I agree she acted way immature and you can’t just diagnose a person based on 1 visit
Wouldn't she be rather knowledgable in sociopaths, psychopaths, etc? Since her area of expertise is marriage counseling, where she'd then also have to be knowledgable in personality disorders in order to make it so she can pinpoint the issues affecting a marriage that may be out of the marriage - or relationship two may have - itself? Marriage counsiling would require you to be an expert in multiple fields.
@@GoodFunVideos depends what she did her subject on. Considering she is a marriage counsellor, I doubt she haa anything more than what her books tell you. A psychiatrist would be way more versed in those types of mental health disorders.
She's just a cheap marriage counsellor. People give her way too much credit on her knowledge 😂
But . . . If she's a marriage counselor . . . She's going to have to be knowledgeable in multiple fields, such as personality disorders.
i’m SO glad someone is talking about this dude. all of his videos get shoved down my throat in the recommendation page. and he constantly contradicts himself and places himself on a higher pedestal than everyone else.
kerry fredericks omg same he is Serisouly so annoying I always hit the "im not interested" button anytime he pops up😂 but since im subscribed to primilink and also fuck this guy Serisouly😂 hes so full of shit. Yeah hes good at retaining information and then placing it in others situations but god good he is like someones big uncle that just wont shut the fuck up
Same! I really didn't like the videos he made about Illymation. The title was something in the lines of "Why Illymination shouldn't talk about her ex", can't remember it precisely. But it annoyed me. Like bitch, don't tell other people how to deal with their traumatic experiences. He's not even qualified.
@@merkules6 He used a sarcastic title. It was clickbait. Don't judge his video by a title if you didn't watch it.
I used to be subscribed to him but if you subscribe he post do much his videos take over your feed and all of his titles are click bait
@@valeriavagapova Oh yeah, I completely agree it was in bad taste to use the sarcastic tone for such a serious video.
He sounds like he's constantly speaking in a tin can
Lmaoooooo
I liked Chris at first. I felt like he really had some knowledge I could learn from in the beginning when he’d discuss anxiety and depression and stuff. Then when he started going after you tubers I started watching him less... so sad to see his downfall. Thought he was such a genuine person. smh.
GREAT VIDEO!
love u
Oof
ew ew ew
Keem! I like you because at least you're honest and having fun with your channel and content. This other guy is exploitive as fuck and just *wishes* he was you.
Thanks Daddy Keem
The guy's response to this video comes off as passive-aggressive. Tbh, the dude seems like a closet narcissist. All his cronies in the comment section are cringy as well honestly.
ReikaWolf exactly and every argument he tries to make on ANY topic always ends up in “I was as an ex drug addict and that happened to me..”. Every time I hear that it stresses me out, he thinks that he can relate to everything. He compares eating disorders, toxic relationships, bipolar disorder etc. to his drug addiction as if everything is somehow the same
Yeah, and he's always talking about girls that he's dated in the past. It's pretty wired that he keeps bringing them up, like dude, your hand didn't count as a girlfriend.
I'm pretty sure he curates his comments section they all seem to positive and I know I've left negative comments before but I rarely get responses.
i agree with you, i think that he is the type of person to stand in front of a mirror and jackoff to his own opinions and self rightchesnes
Do not call me cringy. My son was killed. Losing him suddenly has been the most nightmarish thing you could ever imagine. Watching Chris has probably saved my life. Not that a video of his could fix something so horrific but the techniques he’s taught me have kept me hanging on. I know one place where prim is dead ass wrong. Kati is not better suited to help someone bc of her schooling. My mother owned five treatment centers. Hands down the best counselors were the ones without schooling but with life experience. The ones with a degree but no life experience never had as good of a success rate. Chris has studied his ass off. He’s helped me and I’m not easily fooled or ignorant by any means. I think prim joking about cocaine and wearing a shirt that says I wanna die is dangerous. How’s that? Coming from someone who is barely hanging on I think that’s horrible. I could care less if he makes one dollar a year or a million the help he has given to ppl like me is priceless.
"He didn't make a video for me" nah son you got a whole chapter in a book
I genuinely was under the impression he was licensed. How the hell did I miss that? 😫 I got weird vibes but honestly I haven’t watched enough to think hard about this dude’s credentials. He DOES regularly say “clients” etc 😒
I’m a clinical mental health grad student starting my 3rd year of my program, and I would never feel qualified enough at this point to make videos like this. Holy crap
I don't think he necessarily has bad intentions, but he's very misguided.
I've suffered from severe clinical depression, and I had well meaning friends and family say things like "try meditation!","maybe it's your diet","have you tried juicing?", "have you tried this or that supplement?","you should exercise!" And on and on and on. That's absolutely a terrible approach because for one, people with mental health disorders have already heard those things countless times, and if doing those things were so simple or worked, they would have recovered a long time ago. But that's pretty much all this guy is doing. Also, it's not as simple as "just getting therapy", because in order for therapy to be effective, you have to be READY for it. Therapy takes a lot of time and mental energy and not everyone with mental health disorders is at a place where they are truly ready to jump that hurdle.
I think he's truly trying to support and promote good mental health practices and even in the videos about specific youtubers he has a lot of good points. However, I think he's biased toward his own content and is in denial about the damage it can have to make that many videos about one person. Do these youtubers actually have the problems Chris thinks they do? Maybe. But that's for them to take care of if they choose to, and putting a spotlight on them won't help.
I haven't seen all of the videos, but I have watched some here and there and the ones I did only spoke about the specific youtuber for the first few minutes while the rest of the video focused on stories from his own experiences and the general person with X disorder or issue. So in my opinion he /does/ focus on the solution, at least in some videos. But making that many videos about one person really adds up. It's excessive and maybe a better way to talk about these problems would be to keep who he's talking about anonymous.
The flip side of that is the reason he uses youtubers as examples is because people relate to them and he mentions them by name because that's the only way people who may benefit from the advice will click on the video. I do think he can get excessive and post too much on one RUclipsr at a time, but he doesn't diagnose them and the videos are more geared for the people who see the problematic behavior and think "lol, me."
But his discord is actually helpful in bringing people together so they don't feel alone and can connect with others going through similar struggles.
12:40 I actually physically winced hearing you say that with all that has since happened with her. Yes, she may be licensed but she stepped way, way out her lane in the documentary with Shane Dawson. Especially since she is a licensed couples therapist and not a psychiatrist, who could actually tell you in-depth information about the disorders from their education _and_ experience treating patients with these disorders, not just read the definition word-for-word from the DSM-5. She did almost as much harm to the mental health community as TRS. She acted extremely unethically(meeting Jake Paul as a “producer” knowing she was actually there to assess him w/o his consent), spread dangerous misinformation about mental health disorders and was just seemingly fear mongering during that series. She gets a platform speaking to literally tens of millions of people about mental health and what does she do? Calls these disorders, and the people with them, “eeky” and “gross”. Rant over!
THANK YOU!
Hi! I'm studying to be a psychiatrist (in my last year) and i did multiple practices with actual psychiatrists. They (or the ones I worked with) use the DSM to diagnose since they need actual evidence that the symptoms that the patient is experiencing belongs to a mental illness.
However, I agree with you on the fact that she was extremely unprofessional in that video. (btw sorry if my english is bad, this isn´t my first language).
Yes, I agree. A REALLY good psychologist to watch is Psychology in Seattle. He watches TLC shows as a way to help his viewers see if they identify with relationship issues the people on the show may be exhibiting.... basically showing us all how we all need therapy. He's always got disclaimers about how he can't diagnose these ppl from a tv show. He's excellent.
Also what is with his "If you had a depressed friend, you wouldn't recommend therapy?" thing. Yes, I would recommend therapy if I knew they hadn't tried it and thought they would benefit from it.....I wouldn't gossip about them to another group of friends publicly enough for them to hear it (the parallel of his videos if these people actually were his friends, which they are not).
I called him tacky. He blocked me.
Cheers!🍷
"who hates David dobrik? He's an angel" did not age well
I KNOW RIGHT
Lmao I was looking to see if anyone commented this
He once made a video basically accusing RUclipsrs with (professionally diagnosed) DID that they're attention seekers and are faking it.
He made another video basically calling Emma Blackery 'selfish' for not wanting to discuss her BPD publicly or to (understandably) be the face of BPD, as if he's entitled to the details of another person's mental health. Another fun fact is that he once diagnosed his past self with BPD, it's hilarious how he's not even professionally diagnosed himself (and isn't a trained professional) but feels like he can tell another person with it how to approach their BPD.
Music Lover yeah as a DID RUclipsr it caused a lot of stress to people with DID
The fact he replied to your comment with that kinda proves your point. I mean, he admits he drew conclusions of who you are from a single comment. So if hes willing to draw a conclusion of who you are from a couple videos and a comment, he most certainly isnt qualified to be diagnosing people
Kevin Keller He doesn’t diagnose people
@@BL-hw4mn No, he just pretends like he knows who these people are and the lives that they lived when he clearly shows that he is quick to jump to conclusions
@@BL-hw4mn His disclaimer doesn't change he talks about people he doesn't know and who don't want his help. He does diagnose people and you are delusional. He has no qualifications so should keep his mouth shut talking about depression and things he isn't qualified to talk about. He isn't licensed in any way and repeatly talked about Trisha paytas even after she has said she wants him to stop. He exploits people for views and money. His mother is qualified not him. He is a just a gossip who says I think this person has this and should get help.
imwaytoshort Please send me a link to a video where he diagnoses someone. I’ll wait.
@@BL-hw4mn His intentions may be good but his methods are plagued with selfish tendencies and seemingly a righteous attitude in which he believe he is morally superior because he can 'recognize problematic signs' or 'identify symptoms'
I'm assuming you're trying to defend him because you've found help in his videos or something along those lines and you're by no means wrong to do so but to deny his tendency to think he knows all even though he doesnt have credentials and to deny his incompetence in admitting when he is wrong is just plain silly.
Love how you got roasted for being 1000% accurate and now everyone’s getting views for the same GD observation. I see you Primink, you ma fav
The "who hates David dobrik, he's an angel" aged real bad 😂
"who hates david dobrik? he's an angel!"
this aged like milk
As someone who is actually in training to become a therapist and getting a master's degree in Counseling Psychology, it makes me sad how much attention this guy has garnered and the messages that he's promoting. We have long conversations in some of my classes about people like him and why it's ethically wrong to do what he's doing.
You’re so stupid, continue “training” while he actually has numbers on his side of lives he’s saved and helped from doing the same thing he does about youtubers. The same way I don’t need a degree to call you an idiot, he doesn’t need a degree to tell his followers not to grow up to be selfish ego maniacs like some of the youtubers he talks about with substance abuse problems. Fuck whatever “training” you’re going through, especially because I know a lot of therapists and not one of them ever referred to their schooling or career as “training” how do you “train” to be a therapist???? Lmaooo you don’t bitchhhh
@@sharkyyyx5653 Can you not. Using childish insults makes you look dumb.
His fans are toxic af
These responses show how horrible is fans are and can’t take criticism.
@@sharkyyyx5653 nice work proving Primink right. You idiots really can't take any criticism, just like your master.
4:13 well... that didn't aged well did it
I'm sorry but if my "therapist" has got a voice like that, I'll just pass.
He created the unattackable drama alert, my god he's like thanos.
I was 100% with you on this...
until the very end.
...Kati Morton?... Really?...
After your whole tirade on BetterHelp (which I do agree with), you recommend her - I find it very hard to believe you have followed her work and somehow managed to miss the very publicly shamed fact that she was one of the BIGGEST BH shills.
oh and btw... she also tried to defend BH at first, she just got too much shit for it.
I mean this is a pretty stupid argument really considering the fact that Morton is still a LICENSED therapist with specialist knowledge regarding mental health and makes videos purely to help and inform people.
Don't get me wrong I am NOT defending BetterHelp, nor am I defending Morton's endorsement of it. But if we are judging Morton purely on her capacity as a mental health channel, she is absolutely solid. Just because she endorsed BetterHelp does not mean that she has any responsibility for that scandal (let's be realistic: she endorsed them for money, and probably did not investigate the service in depth at all), that scandal does not define the quality of her content, and her association with that scandal does not automatically make her guilty by association.
If you are a semi-rational person, you would be able to separate her channel and an over-blown scandal and realise that we are judging her channel by its merit alone. Kati's channel is a FAR better channel for mental health as she is not simply an ex-drug addict pretending to be a licensed therapist. If you lack the capacity to analyse the merits of her channel in this way and are simply fixated on a media scandal that is long in the past, then you really aren't being fair, reasonable or logical in your analysis, are you?
Exactly yeah she stopped but it was because everyone was calling her out. And I'm sorry but if you're going to promote something when you have a platform especially do your research and do it well before you start. So in my opinion all the youtubers who promoted it either didn't or didn't care.
@@Lucas-kn4zu For a RUclipsr, their channel and their personality are inherently interwined. Kati's garbage personality renders her channel garbage by association. I can't take mental health advise from someone who did what she did in the Shane Dawson docuseries, regardless of how comprehensive her work on eating disorders might be. She's just another parasite exploiting YT drama and the mental illness debate to get ahead.
I really don't like him, he's so patronizing for people (calling Trisha "baby girl", "honey" or something like that is very inapproptiate and I don't even like Trisha that much. He's answer for you was very accusatory and shaming for just telling your opinion about him, like you'd done something wrong, even if he's doing that about everyone else and in way more condemnatory way. He's so manipulative). He's face makes me feel really uncomfrotable. And he's a real drama channel, more than iNabber for example wtf.
"Everyone loves David Dobrik"
Did not age well. Would love to see a Prim Prim video on the downfall Dobrik.
"I learned more about you, and that's too bad, man"??? Wow. That's rich. I was already offended on your behalf because although I'm a fairly new sub, I know about the fundraising you did recently for mental health awareness, so that jab made me laugh outright, but then you go and reveal his $8 emotes and his bullshit $100 one-hour online course! My jaw hit the floor upon hearing that. And while being an ex-addict is all the qualification you need to head up your local 12-step meeting, it does not give you license to diagnose and recommend treatment to absolute strangers based upon what they choose to reveal to the world through their social media platforms. I am so glad I never got into this guy's content now, because today...if I may borrow and bend a quote....
~ahem~
I learned more about him, and that's too bad, man.
Shut your ugly ass up bitch you’re talking like you know what you’re talking about. Bite the curb bitch
Glory Hulle don’t just take someone’s word for it and actually go watch his videos. He doesn’t diagnose anyone and that’s why he recommends therapy because he’s not a precessional. This guy has helped me so much and has made me feel encouraged to go to therapy and my life has been so much better. I don’t mean any disrespect but you should check him out and form an opinion for yourself.
@@sharkyyyx5653 dammmmm. Who hurt you😹

The women that read off a book the whole time during Shane Dawsons Jake Paul series?
Sebu T She was reading the DSM-5. That’s what a therapist should do
@@quirkyblackenby The whole time? Did you know the fifth edition is full of contradictions?
It's used as a guideline. She should stick to her field of expertise
ruclips.net/video/EecJv9PQXmw/видео.html
@@attomicchicken Every edition is filled with contradictions
Chinta K since when does a therapist need to read the DSM to describe a basic sociopath? shane could've just done that himself.
I'm so glad you brought this up. I used to be subscribed to him but I went through the same process that you did of slowly going from supporting him to disliking him. I don't remember who the video was about, but I unsubscribed after he made a shameless clickbait video, said halfway through the video that he was just joking and that whole video is, in fact, clickbait, then spent the remaining half of the video talking about his Facebook support group or whatever it was. I was already getting suspicious when he defended better help, but I felt like this was just an insult to the intelligence of his audience.
I dont really like Kati, she kinda went along with the Eugenia Cooney thing when theres an actual issue being hidden
Not to mention that she also diagnosed Jake Paul with anti-social personality disorder in Shane's series when it's not her field of expertise, she never talked to him AND called the disorder creepy & saying she wanted to take a shower after discussing the symptoms with Shane.
No professional in their right mind would diagnose someone they've never met before.
Gave me an icky feeling about her.
Claudi S. Honestly that comment about wanting to take a shower after just discussing the symptoms of Antisocial personality disorder is so disgusting. Sociopaths aren’t bad people they have a mental illness that they can’t control. And even though they probably don’t give a shit about her or her opinions, but it makes me so angry when youtubers suddenly are psychologists or hire people who aren’t even qualified to diagnose people with those disorders. Like you can’t watch someone’s videos and then say they can diagnose someone because of those videos ( which are highly edited and cut out things that show the whole picture) my lord.
@@flimsyenthusiasm5769 "makes me so angry when youtubers suddenly are psychologists"

@@DeezN00tz99 Bro fuckin legit stopped watching jack because of that. He used to be great but he just hit this full on mental health train. Like bro you are known for fucking happy wheels and the escapist lmfao
You absolutely nailed it Primink! Once you cut through the fluffy psycho-babble, his primary motivation is clearly money and attention. He is dangerous and unethical and needs to be called out.
mauve711 you would rather no one watch his videos on mental health? Because he used clickbait for views, that’s the fucking point of RUclips
Positive Udo Actually clickbait is not the point of RUclips... it’s against the TOS.
He in fact did not nail this video. The guy forgot to do proper research.
Zorkmid123 you can’t have clickbait that is absolutely irrelevant to your topic. If he were doing that his channel would be removed.
He needs to see a _real_ therapist
His mum then?
That doesn't talk like he had cotton balls in his mouth.
He has one
Also his mom is a licensed and practicing therapist
Fuck you
THANK YOU. I used to watch him (for like a few days) but he eventually rubbed me the wrong way and I unsubed. No matter how many videos of his I try to dismiss and even though I have him blocked his videos continue getting recommended to me. I can’t stand him
Chris doesn't rewire souls, he rewires people's words.
Kati Morten is even more problematic. She is a family therapist but a lot of other professionals have criticized her heavily, specially when she starts talking about stuff outside her area of expertise. She is also heavily involved in the better help drama. (Rumoured to even be a part of the company) so take her words with a grain of salt
But that doesn’t mean she isn’t licensed in her specific field. She made a mistake in the Shane series but her mistakes aren’t exactly comparable to TRS and don’t entirely make her opinions meaningless.
Yes, she has limitations in some areas, but she is still licensed and practicing.
TheProjectMJ what did she do? What was the mistake?
@@beautifulexplosives259 farted and accidentally pooped but hey ho we have all done it😶
Artillery Princess she was featured in Shane’s Jake Paul series and made some super unprofessional comments about people with anti-social personality disorder (sociopaths). She also followed Shane to Jake’s house to “see” if he was a sociopath from her perspective, which is also very troubling.
Why I really disliked Kati for this when she did it, that doesn’t negate the fact that she is licensed - in marriage and family counseling. And while her decisions to work with better help and work with Shane are questionable it doesn’t negate the fact that her videos are well researched and she is licensed with a degree.
You're lucky I like you Primink. I literally just suffered through an annoying ass turbo tax ad for you. I hope you're happy
"Who hates David Dobrik? He's an angel."
Well that aged like milk.
i remember him popping up on my recommendeds and it was always about illymation's video of her abusive relationship with her ex. all the titles were very..uncomfortable? idk how to explain it, but i never really liked them.
I’ve sided with Trisha on this since day one.
Everyone should. That guy is just harassing her and the other people he makes videos on at this point. You don't need to make 15-35 videos on someone.
SAME!
You mean Trisha's video where she's basically projecting her own bullshit? Girl whatever
@@cougarelli that video had me cracking up 😂😂 she really is projecting.
Hunter Woodlawn I'm on no ones side...both of them seem sketchy.
I think some of this criticism is valid, but as someone who just got out of a rehab program, I will say that being a recovering addict who now works as a therapist gives you a LOT more credit than you’d think. There were therapists at my program that had master’s degrees and even one with a doctorate but you could always spot those therapists that were recovering addicts and they were usually a lot better because they *got it* (and could accurately call out your bs) better than any of the others. Experience is the greatest teacher especially when it comes to addictions.
It’s not like skin cancer because it’s centered around behavior which often comes from the subconscious, not black and white technical expertise.
Yeah whats a peice of paper compared to living what youre giving advice for? You always hear bussines advice to intern because you'll gain so much more that way. Thats how i view rs. But he always lets people know that they should get help if they think something is wrong with them. So really he knows hes not taking any therapists place, so i dont understand why theyre all getting so worked up over a guy just giving his 2 cents in...
I agree with this. My psychiatrist was a patient in the eating disorder program she now is a part of before she took that path. I’ve seen a million and one psychologists, psychiatrists etc and even though there’s times I’ve wanted to hate her, she is the best psych professional I have ever had. Because she GETS it and she knows what actually helps vs what doesn’t because she has been there.
@Danny Torrance equally stupid?its called common sense. If someone has been through something theyre going to have their own set of answers to be given as advice. May i add people get to decide whether or not they take it.
Being experienced in addiction, and being able to coach others through their addiction is very very different from a lot of the stuff Chris talks about. If he stuck to addiction and toxic relationship advice, I don't think hed have any backlash at all (well, if he stopped assuming people were drug addicts that is)
@@sekailu He never called himself a therapist, have you even watched any of his videos?
