100% valid!! We understand why you do not want to react to the chapters. It IS very intimate, and as a third party watcher: I'd rather watch a reaction on a deep music video rather than a reaction to a deep talk! I can understand the logical side of this decision!

Same for me!

I really respect you for your decision. I feel like the Chapters are being created as a "memoir." His music, on the other hand, is his art, and he actively invites people to interpret and take from it what they see for themselves - just as any artist worth their salt may do...

You've articulated what I was trying to get across nicely. It is exactly that! Thanks for taking the time to write that.

I think this is a beautifully compassionate response. Thanks for your care.

Totally respect your decision! Ren’s current series are absolutely fascinating, horrifying, frightening, enlightening, and inspirational. They are his stories as only he can tell them. Anyone trying to analyze them can only speculate and respond based on their experiences. I’ll look forward to more reactions to Ren’s music in the future! ❤️🎶

I totally respect your decision to not react to Ren's chapters. I was shocked to see that people were. I hope you are taking the time to watch the chapters your self. Ren has a new song dropping the 9th called Troubles. He is making these chapters leading up to that, so I believe they are connected.

Yes I am watching them, and I'll probably do a reaction to the new music video. Thanks for commenting.

Completely agree. I'm not convinced that this is an emotional decision exclusively. My emotional take is that any reaction would take away from Rens' story, not add to it. Some things stand on their own, and should do so.

I didn't what to watch any reacters simple bc this is ren s story. Thank you for posting this important message.❤

I would _hope_ that it was hard for everyone watching... anyone with half an ounce of empathy would be absolutely gutted. It absolutely breaks my heart what that bright talented amazing being had to go through. I'll admit to being a bit of a marshmallow at times but I've made it through the previous chapters without tears... today got me... and speaking of amazing beings take care of yourself Ms Nana :-)

Thank you. I normally watch all the Ren reactions I can find but have not been watching any to these videos. It is Ren’s story and not for others to comment on or judge. Thank you for this empathetic decision 💜💜💜

Fully respect you on this and actually think you are making the right choice. I personally think its better for people to listen to Ren and this story of his life his journey through it reflect on it learn from it and seek a professional if they find some of it hard in person over hearing therapists talking over it.

Ren's 'Chapters' speak for themselves. There is no need for anyone to publish a reaction to them. We will all react in our own way. You have made the right call - so, thank you. I will say that Ren is a genius with words and we are the better for hearing from him.

Point understood, these chapters are better being relished and kept close to your heart and not used for "likes" on a page or channel, that said, I salute you..

I respect and agree with your decision (and it has nothing to do with your face, lol). Music is a lot more interpretive, making it easier to explore various different things that could be going on for the artists. Ren is essentially releasing an autobiography with these chapters of his life; there's not a lot of room for interpretation. How would one even react to an autobiography objectively outside of saying, 'Yeah, they had some hard times,' or 'Wow... [insert random person here], they did horrible or good or honorable things.' It makes a weird kind of sense in my mind to not do a reaction, as I have read numerous autobiographies and biographies, and the most I could react to was the writing style: was it engaging, was it informative, etc. I am definitely looking forward to your reaction to the songs he'll be releasing after these.

It's not hypocritical I totally understand what you are trying to convey. Thank you for making this video to explain why it's appreciated.

as someone who is lucky to have found the right therapy... met al ot of therapists in my yrs.. i think you are one of the good ones

Totally get the decision and respect it. Even though I would've loved to see the reactions. Thank you.

I think it's great, what you're saying. After one of the chapters in particular I felt like posting a comment but realized I had nothing to say, because Ren had already said everything. And comments that I did make for other chapters sounded trite. I've been through therapy and lots of self-therapy, but I have to say that the "Ren Modality" has been one of the most effective therapies I've ever encountered. And Ren's life chapter readings have taken it to a new level, helping me take a harder look at my own thoughts, beliefs and experiences. Thanks for this video!

I totally get it! I’m a reaction video enthusiast (to put it mildly) but I haven’t watched a single reaction to the chapters. I just can’t bring myself to and I can’t put my finger on it as to why. I very much appreciate your thoughts on your decision. They validate my own feelings. Love from Germany 💜

To be honest I haven't watched any reactions to this series from Ren, and I probably won't. Thanks for this 🖤

I watched the first one and haven't watched the others. And I haven't watched any reactions to it. It feels too personal to me and I avoid strong emotions and feelings (ya, I know, that's not good) but it just touches parts of me that I don't want to delve into right now. I can't watch/listen to his Freckled Angles song either after personal losses. Ren has the ability to draw out things I just need to suppress for my sanity. Someday, I'll explore these memoirs of his, but not now. I'm glad he feels comfortable enough sharing them with millions.

Completely understandable! Thanks for sharing.

I think it is valid for you. This is a journey for Rens fans to really understand and they are great medicine for Ren as he travels through the PTSD phase of his illness. He can never truly be free until he comes to terms, that yes, I really did go through this and made it to a different place in my life.

Makes perfect professional and compassionate sense. He needs an open canvas to paint his story in order to heal and you are giving him this

I think I understand what you mean. Either way it’s your choice based on your emotions and opinions so I respect that ❤ I’m very glad you at least made this short video to explain it. Especially since I think they’re very important chapters that as many people as possible should watch to help raise awareness of the missing. This might make some people curious who haven’t seen them yet. I’m not sure if all Renegades even notice them since they’re saved on Ren’s secondary channel after the live/premier? One thing I have learned from comments on his videos and social media posts is that there are a lot of missing people 😢Hopefully they will feel a little less lost and forgotten as Ren shares his story so publicly.

Thanks, that was the intention of this video - to still bring awareness to his videos without directly commenting on them. I might make a summary video in more general terms about his chapters when the music video drops.

What Ren is doing is something that is a privilege to witness and great respect is owed to him for being so honest and vulnerable. There is no place for evaluation and a reaction is to say "look at me and what I have to say about this", which is totally out of place in this context.

Completely understand and couldn’t agree further! Thank you for all you do, and share with us, those that consume your content. Much love and have a great day!

I think this is an admiral decision. I have been avoiding reactions to the Chapters... There are some things that really shouldn't be coupled with commentary. This is why I subscribed. I appreciate the careful thought you put in to your videos. Have a wonderful weekend!

I wholeheartedly agree. I’ve seen thumbnails for reactions to the chapters but haven’t watched any as it felt awkward to do so.

I appreciate this very much. It shows exactly the respect I believe those 'chapters' deserve.

I 100% agree with your decision. I personally that think that as long people hear these chapters, people will relate on their own views if that makes sense. I don't think it's wrong to publicly react to these but I completely understand and personally agree that people don't need to do it. Everybody should watch them though in whichever way they want to with no judgement ❤

❤❤ I agree with you 💯. As both on both a professional and personal level. 👏 I feel he says it in the very beginning, it's his own experience and his solitude. The way telephone works even with the best intentions can be extremely damaging to a person's intimate personal life and experiences. As interesting as it wld be to hear ppls thoughts on this bc of the personal details it could be really damaging. So thank you for this.

Your decision conveys a high degree if integrity. You are a gentleman!

I agree. I was surprised when I saw the title of this video. Truthfully I did not think anyone would react to his life story. I don’t know how anyone could. I had to stop yesterday and take a break. It was too painful. I have 3 people very close to me that SUFFER from Mast Cell and POTS and it is ugly. As a mom and Nana that has to watch this in my loved ones life’s I appreciate your thoughts.

💗 Respect 💗 I have brought this up in his discord, I feel it's disrespectful to him. I'd much rather reaction channels spoke on the chapter's without playing them and pointed them in the direction of Ren's chapter's and to listen for themselves and not take advantage of such personal thing's 💗

(Not a native english speaker, sorry in advance) “I don’t have anything to add" is an absolute valid statement for not uploading it. In general I dislike it when content creators react to something and bring no extra value to it. In your videos you seem really empathetic and to have high emotional intelligence. It’s obvious how you put effort into trying to understand the artists message and interpret it in different ways, in addition to that you convey us your own message and thoughts with your experience. Hopefully this doesn’t change as your channel grows, and it sure will ❤️. I really appreciate and respect your work and wish you the best on your journey. P.S. The channel „Reaction Therapy“ seems to have drifted away from that „concept“ over time, he sometimes still makes valuable videos but often it’s JUST a reaction. Just my opinion cause you make it in an better way.

I'm pretty sure that I understand what you mean because I've been reluctant to even leave a comment on the chapters. I definitely couldn't do a reaction to one when I wasn't even able to form a sentence worthy of posting. I wasn't even sure why everything I thought to say about them sounded wrong, but you're probably right, that it was probably related to that intimacy. How can anyone have a response to something which was so directly self proclaimed.

I think you made a perfect and sensible decision. Ren made a point of sharing with us that this was incredibly hard, and that the more he gives to us, the less he gets to keep. To turn his chapters into a commodity overlooks the reasons he's done them, and the spirit of connection Ren always seeks to create. Thank you for your respect and discretion, Stuart. Would never expect less. ❤

Our reaction is not even a fraction of what’s already been done ❤😂🎉😂😊

Respect, I think one of the reasons Ren is doing these videos is to answer all the questions he is repeatedly asked, to finally put it to bed and to move on.

Completely valid and I applaud you for it- it's easy to take the views that a reaction would get and go with it, making the _right_ (IMHO) decision is harder. The chapters aren't an illness or an overview they are the nitty gritty details of a life and that isn't something for review. Take care

Agree!! Haven’t watched any reactions to the chapters. Nothing to break down. Thank you ❤

Hey! I totally understand your point. I still didn't find the courage to watch those publications, because I feel I need a very strong mood to face them. On another point, I hope you didn't forget you are to react to "Uninvited" by Ren for it's a song most people take lightly when I think it's a very dark one. Best regards!

I think your decision was correct. I haven't watched one reaction to his Chapters. I've watched them when they're live and only once. They are incredibly personal and often heartbreaking. I do obviously hope you react to his song "Troubles" though.

Sounds good 👍

Very insightful take. I can completely appreciate your reasoning for not reacting. I have watched all the chapters but not any reactions of them. Opposite of his music. I am obsessed with reactions to his music. So I think it’s the right decision.

I 100% agree and thank you for putting it in a way that people can understand. Reacting to a music video that can touch someone in so many different ways is... different than reacting on something that is so personal as sharing what you have been going through to try and help others out there that are going to the same, or similar, things. Thanks for letting us see your way and reasons behind not reacting, and letting him just be him in those videos. All the respect in the world for that. Keep being you!

I applaud you for this decision., this is Ren's story to tell.

That's fair enough you do what you are comfortable with 👍❤️✌️

Thank you thank you! I don't think less of anyone who is, but every thumbnail that I see, I just cringe. I think a better course is for reactors, educators, whomever, watch it on their own and then they can respond, talk about it, talk about the major themes with their community, etc.

I support your decision to not react to these chapters and respect why you've chosen not to. It makes complete sense. I even applaud you for it. 💫 They are intimate on a level much deeper than even his music (which I never thought possible) as he bares his soul for all the world to see. And so publicly and painfully. Through music he's guided us on a journey through his life: his world, his pain, hopes and dreams; both dashed and realised. But this is an entirely different form of vulnerability. Ren has already made such an impact through music, touching so many and bringing a wave of people together all while raising awareness. He's pushed the envelope showing us that if he can do it then so can we. He dares society to talk about things we've been told or believed we shouldn't. To erase the stigma. The world desperately needed a person like Ren, and one day I hope he realizes how much he's done for us. These chapters will certainly up the ante. You are both a gift to the mental health sector of the world, and I thank you for that. 💝

This is the most logical and reasonable reason ever. Personal stories like that dont need a reaction or critics. All it needs is to be heard and you as an individual that hears it has to make up your own mind and do with it what you think is nessacary for ypurself to grow and understand.

I respect your decision, it can't have been an easy one to make. Personally, I'm waiting until they are all released before watching them. I think it'd be better for me to take the hit all at once rather than a few pieces at a time. It can be difficult to watch something that raw and personal, so I'm going to curl up, get myself a coffee and make space for the whole story.

Thank you for this, totaly understand and respect your decision😊❤

thank you for putting your values above seeking views. Rens story is so honest and so his that no reactor should put his interpretation over it. I watch a lot of reaction videos to Rens music. thanks for letting ren tell his own story without a third party opinion of it

Thank you for not reacting to Ren’s chapters. They are intimate and I don’t click on reviews of them. This shows how compassionate you are. Thank you.

Trust your feelings. You comment that you don't feel your reasons are very logical, but to me, they sound incredibly reasonable, and I, for one, appreciate you making a video to explain why you feel that it wouldn't be appropriate. We've got a fresh drop on the 9th. Look forward to catching your reaction. 🌹

That makes perfect sense. Thanks for explaining.

I also think of Ren's chapters as being different and I was taken aback to see that there are reaction videos. They are so deeply personal and produce such empathetic responses in so many people, that it never occurred to me that anyone would want to make reaction videos in relation to them. As you say, what is there that anyone can add.

Absolutely respect your decision. I'm glad you are watching them, though, as someone who supports others through difficult stages in their lives. It helps just to know that professionals like yourself are listening. ❤ Ren wanted to raise awareness, and by listening to his story and reflecting on how it might impact your interactions with others, you're doing exactly what he hoped for already. The 'Troubles' music video on Thursday might be a way for you to share the things you think will help in a way that is more akin to previous reaction discussions?

Thanks for letting us know why but he also personally said in one of the chapters that he would like for people to not try and get involved and get ahold of any of the people that he mentions or even himself for a bit and also about the subjects so that’s respectful aswell as your own opinion on why you’re not doing so

Thank you, Stuart! ❤ I love the respect you always show in your reactions to and analyzes of Ren's (and others) music. I love even more the ultimate respect you show when you don't react to his life. I'm sure he doesn't want or need reactions or analysis on that, he's already done that himself. I think all he wants is for his message to be heard loud and clear so that more resources are given to research these diseases and bring some relief to those affected

Thanks for saying this. They are bloody tough to watch. He is being so honest, without being graphic, and further speculation about what he has been through isn't required, and feels somewhat...distasteful?

Respect, thank you. I haven't watched any reactions to this series and I'm not sure if I will, maybe after Troubles. I'm here for reactions to his music 100%, please watch them still :) maybe make a video about your thoughts on it after all have been completed if you feel like there's something you wish to talk about around the matter?

Nice face. Nice man. Good decision x

I think this is a fantastic take and I am glad you expressed this. Probably different POVs out there, but imo even if its emotionally driven rather than logically, the logic of it from my perspective is not needing a public therapy session on account of private life details that are willingly made public. I think you hit the nail on the head of its his story and how he wants to share it. Its different than artistic representations where there is more room for tangents of interpretation "diagnosing" or discussing the art as the subject, rather than the person being the subject. That's how I feel, at least, when sharing some of my own writing where some pieces take artistic angles so it can be topical versus the topic being me in an assessment if its detailing more factual account stories I have written down from my life. Its kind of where perspectives are attached to a piece of art versus thrown onto a whole human being.

@@TherapistReactsOfficial That is one area that I think you making this video in and of itself hits really well for me. Compared to visual arts or (some) writing, musicians or actors tend to get very little distance from people attaching narratives of the art to the person making the art, let alone when it comes to sharing personal life in any form. Its already hard enough to find a line of distinction with natural curiosity, connectivity, and projection of every day life. So I really appreciated from another spectator the way that you still made a point to make the video to explain why you are NOT doing that

I've not watched any reactions to rens story and don't plan to. Your decision is spot on I think, Ren has his platform and chose to share these stories with us now, and for others in the future as well. That's a legacy right there I think

I totally understand and respect your decision. These chapters are connecting many people, not just to this amazing person and artist, but to each other and to the truth about suffering, redemption, love, courage. I am one of the so called "Thalidomide babies", and maybe this reality I have since I can remember made me feel close to other people. Yes, there were times of anger, have GAD so there were moments of fear, thoughts coming from the shadows. But here I am, a fan of Ren. Sorry this long comment just to say I am happy for your decision and will keep watching your reactions. Greetings from Porto, Portugal.

Although I love watching your reactions to Ren and I felt a bit disappointed when I saw your title,I totally understand your point.What Ren shares with us is too personally to comment on.There is nothing to ad what he said.It's his own experience,we can just listen and understand. I hope you do reactions to songs of him instead. You are a very kind human and reacter.😊

I think I understand what you mean 🤔 and of course I respect it. However, a reaction is an emotional thing isn't it? At least for me. When I watch reaction videos I look for people showing their reaction and emotions. That's what I want to feel a connection with. No analyzing or explaining needed. Maybe we should add a category called "analyzing videos" instead of "reaction videos" on youtube 😁 After all, Ren puts these chapters out to create awareness about serious health conditions and if we don't spread the awareness... then what was the point. 🥰

Thank you for your integrity.

I respect you for this decision! It is very selfless of you !

Even my comments on them are short. Usually a thanks for sharing life.

Respect too you everyone should hear this from Enough Ren himself

Any person who loves Ren will agree with and applaude your decision here. I think that a reaction video for Ren's open-hearted and honest story of his life would seem crude, and it would cheapen his message as well as disrespect it. Thank you for going with your heart!

I think it’s good that he explained His story behind His songs so people will know where He’s coming from when others write their songs people can only speculate what they sung about but REN definitely cleared all that up in His chapters even tho the songs might have different meanings to us it’s still all good the music is great ❤😂😊Rock on😂

Much respect! Fully understand. Maybe, you can react to the final song "Troubles".

You lined out the exact reasons why I made the decision to not watch any reactions by anyone on the chapters. And I'm a huge Ren reactions fan. Chapters are extremly intimate thing where Ren sits down and says "listen up mate, here is my life for you, nothing more, nothing less" and anyone reacting and adding their takes to it feels just plain wrong.

Good on you. Totally support your decision. These chapters are just someone pouring their heart out and bearing their soul. To me - not reacting is a measure of respect for his intimacy. Sadly I have made a few comments along those lines where I have seen reactors that chose to react. Unfortunately all this does is garner negative comments from that reactors following. Sometimes vicious and or obnoxious responses. I have noted that some of the highly rated reactors e.g. Cliff Beats, Black Pegasus, Knox Hill, Fischtank etc have all chosen not to react. It really is a simple matter of respect. Some just don't get.

Stuart, I think you made the right decision not to do reaction videos to Ren’s life story Chapters. Ren’s words are perfect and they say it all very eloquently. I think we have the personal right to comment in the comments section of each video, especially if we have shared similar experiences ourselves, but to make reaction videos out of them is another matter. As you said this is his actual emotional life being laid bare. We are fortunate to have Ren’s artful music out there for obvious reflective consumption to be shared, played about with in remixes or to be reinterpreted by fan covers. Also to be dissected in critical, therapeutic, emotional or artistic ways in reaction videos such as yours. You do this so well. I respect your heartfelt and intuitive belief that these ‘Chapters’ should be left alone to exist as part of who ‘Ren the man’ actually is, and not the ‘figurative Ren’ he chooses to project artistically outwards to be consumed by the masses.

Thank you❤

Thanks Ariel. Exactly why I made this video - to still bring awareness to it and to share it with people.

I have not clicked on a single reaction to his chapters. They aren’t performances. I don’t know how he feels about it, but it makes me very uncomfortable that people are reacting to it. Thank you for articulating what I could not. ❤

Totally understand where you're coming from. Emotionally, for me, it just felt wrong inside to watch someone else reacting to Ren telling his story. So I haven't. Thank you ✌️🙏

i completely agree with you. i watched the videos and saw that someone had reacted to them. i started to watch one and it felt wrong. here ren was reading his autobiography and some one was analyzing it and it felt dirty somehow.

The only thing I will say is IF you change your mind, a reaction to the section in part 6 where he speaks about his psychosis, from a science/medical perspective would be very interesting, to me anyway! I understand that goes exactly against what you said in this video!! I just find myself so intrigued and wanting to understand how/why his illness lead his brain to that outcome. That’s all!

Totally understandable - respect!

Hey no need to explain, I appreciate and respect the fact that you did, but not necessary. I'd like to think most Renegades agree, his story hits deep, and affects people different ways. I've seen some reactors do them all together on a live stream and everyone discusses what they're feeling, and others that felt the same as you, and would rather have it be a more personal experience. You travel your path down the Ren rabbit hole as you see fit, and we'll support whatever decision you make! ✌💚

100% respect this decision! ❤

Actually I'm glad. I don't mind watching a reaction to this of an observer or fan (for instance there's this one fella who had only watched Hi Ren before starting these and knows nothing of Ren's backstory - it's interesting to watch him learn it all) but watching a therapist comment on it would be like watching someone else's therapy sessions and that wouldn't feel right. Also, he doesn't have a lot of great medical experiences and at some point you might feel the need to defend a therapists actions because of whatever clinical reason make is ok. That would just tick me off.

How dare you. 😂just kidding. This is an incredibly personal story. I totally get where you’re coming from. Ren describes it all perfectly well, no need to expand. I don’t entirely mind the reactions. I’ve only seen two or three people doing them. They’ve done a good job with it, and have a better understanding because of it, but I don’t think it’s totally necessary for it to happen. It’s all being done with love and showing support to Ren, so, it’s not terrible seeing people reacting to them. Look forward to hearing your take on “Troubles”.

Wholeheartedly agree. I don't feel anyone needs to add anything to the chapters. I feel Ren sees all that needs to be said about his story, its raw and profound.
