I'm glad GOW helped you out, Boogie; it did the same for me. At one point, when it got announced back at E3 2016, it slowly became my one reason to live because of the fact that GOW was part of my childhood and that I knew it wouldnt disappoint...needless to say, when it came out, I was an emotional rollarcoaster. I love that game to death and I played it four times in the first four months it came out; trying to go more in depth each time. Looking more into Kratos' psyche to truly understand him gave me life and made me feel something again. I've grown a bit more as a person struggling with my own mental health since the release, but at least I've found an escape when times get too tough: just throw the Axe. Thank you for sharing your story, Boogie.

Parental abuse is the worst. The people who are supposed to be there for you, are the ones who are hurting you. It’s a rough situation.

And when the Moment hits you that you really don't have any "parents" in thet sense, that´s even worse. When you finally realised what they´ve done to you and you can´t talk to them about it.

Kati and Boogie together? Never thought I needed this collab. As someone who has dealt with abuse, thank you for choosing to have someone on to talk about this topic with you, instead of making an analysis video by yourself. I feel it’s so important for others to have their stories heard because each case of abuse can be so different. Keep up the great work! 👍👍

No it isn't. Dealing with a problem is different to accepting you have a problem, accepting that people tell you you have a problem and taking steps to move away from the problem, solve it, or whatever is needed to improve the situation. Boogie is doing nothing, he is acknowledging that he is a victim and saying lots of things that sound like progress. In 3 months time there'll be another video like this - he'll have a meltdown and another period of reflection then a video, then a meltdown, then a video - like a retarded loop of shit on a turntable that skips the needle every 3 months when his views on his increasingly pointless videos start to flag. Boogie sinking, need to grab psychiatric youtuber to council me back to full mental capacity... need mental health sympathy views to make up the shortfall and convince sponsors that I'm still a very important youtube potato.

Dear Kati, I have been trying to find the right words to be able to express my gratitude for the difference you have made in my life through your amazing videos. The fact that I am still here alive and relatively well is directly because I stumbled upon your videos on one of the worst days of my life. Biggest effect of your content on me and what I'm mostly great full to you for is the fact that you took away the stigma, guilt, shame and judgment associated with mental health issues and through your videos gave me the strength to get help instead of taking the easy, cowardly way out. So I can just say Thank you! Thank you from the bottom of my (still beating!) heart, thank you for opening up these difficult topics and making them accessible to people like me who need them badly. God bless you

Yes! Romanticising or embracing the broken version of you is so tempting, but doing the work ultimately feels so much better, and it may get harder at times, but the further we go, the easier it is, because if nothing else we can look back and see how far we've come. Thank you so much for sharing! It's so moving to hear the story of a fellow survivor who's out there climbing up from rock bottom too.

This is awesome! I have overcome anxiety and can’t wait to share steps on how I finally let it go!

I was not familiar w/Boogie (gonna check his channel out now), but I applaud his rawness & vulnerability...& my heart goes out to him w/what he has been through. Awesome, that he is consistently & presently trying to better himself w/his issues & traumatizing past. Kati, I recently found you & just want to tell you what an AMAZING therapist I think you are. Your demeanor is so calm, understanding, genuine & you are VERY knowledgeable...your video's speak to my heart in a way I can really feel, comprehend & use your tools w/my issues in my every day life. I have been watching a lot of them & honestly I have gotten more from you then the last 3 therapist in my real life. I wish you were tangible to me to have sessions w/in person!

I was just talking to my friend yesterday who is also a survivor of child abuse about how it’s not talked about enough especially when it comes to the adults who survive and break the cycle and the daily struggles we go through.

Such a powerful session and video. I feel for your guest because of his upbringing that I relate with so much. This video just shows me how deeply you care for your patients and people who come into your life. I just adore how kind you are and how you are able to kindly suggest or share thoughtful techniques to help someone. I'm so grateful I found your channel. I'm trying to come back into my body and heal past traumas. I grew up with lots of verbal and physical abuse from both my mom and dad and was the 2nd to the oldest of 9 and always trying to keep the peace and save my siblings and even my mom from being hit so I took the brunt of my dads abuse. Then when I went out into the world on my own and to college I was raped on a shameful amount ofoccasions. I drank and put myself in situations where men forced themselves on me. I always blamed myself but now I'm starting to see that saying no and asking them to stop should have been enough. It's not my fault. I have whole chunks of my childhood that I cannot remember. It's so tough because it hasn't gotten better in my adult life I seem to attract toxic relationships that cause me so much harm and I've been such a people pleaser. I'm learning to set boundaries and to find my worth. I'm scared to fully recall sexual abuse and I feel like I was malested as a small child. I have these feelings that come over me that I haven't been able to explain and I have started to have some flashbacks and its caused me to hate sex and not being able to be touched. I just need to remember so that I can heal. How do I help myself remember? I haven't been getting the care I need (I've been in therapy on and off since 2006) but I really want to get well and am still trying to find a great psychiatrist and therapist. I have spoken to 2 new providers over the last 3 weeks and am being seen again tomorrow but it hasn't been going well. There are just so many things that are bothering me. For me yoga is one thing that helps me get out of my head and back into my body. When I used to go to a local studio several times a week I was happier and a better me. Now that my practice is alone at home it's not as fulfilling but I still value it.

I can totally relate to this video on so many levels. I was almost in tears in some parts and I do not cry often. Thanks for this..that is all .. for now

He’s a beautiful man and I get what he’s saying emotional abuse is worse sometimes....I’m still healing at 47 I’m finally getting strength to be me and to get toxic people out of my life but I still freeze when people are horrible to me...but I’m working on that....

Can I suggest that you do a video with Drew Monson? I think he’s a wonderful soul and it would be nice to see him talk about his feelings. Thank you Kati and Boogie for this inspiring video xx

Thank you for sharing Boogie! I have always heard parts of your story and had always been interested to hear more. Thanks for inspiring other people with difficult childhoods to heal and work through it.

The captions on this video are wonderful and entirely accurate which is so awesome to see for such a long video! Huge thank you to the person or people who put the time in to do this

I love him so much. It is always so helpful for me to hear from someone that has also been through severe trauma because I feel less alone.

I love Boogies honesty and openness. Over the years I’ve become much more open and willing to talk about the things I feel and have felt and the things that I feel have shaped my view of the world and it’s helped a lot. Everyone needs to be able to discuss their feelings like this

This man is such a warm and sincere person, he has so many wonderful qualities and seems really easy to talk to. It’s refreshing to come across individuals who are so honest and caring. The fact he is still friends with his previous partner speaks volumes, what a wonderful person

Thank you for sharing this video, Steven is someone that I really admire and respect.

This is powerful. His story is so beautiful and he’s worked so hard.

This was so important... so INCREDIBLY important. It struck me how openly Boogie talked about this because I often talk about my issues with the same factuality and people think that It's strange. "How can you be so accepting of your past?" Well there is NOTHING I can do to change it now is there? It's amazing to see it being discussed so freely.

Kati, you're such an inspiration to me! Your empathic nature is similar to mine and it is so refreshing to see someone using such a power for good! Your compassion and insight has helped and will continue to inspire so so many ♡ in a world where so much evil and hatred is omnipotent, you demonstrate the fact there is still hope!

Boogie has such a big heart. To a fault at times. He apologizes too much for just having an opinion, which isnt the healthiest thing to do. Found your channel because of the collab, look forward to the content.

This was so nice to watch and see someone struggling just as much as me. It helps to see I’m not alone. I know there’s a lot of resources nowadays for PTSD, but deep talks like this are really relatable and comforting to watch. Thank you, Boogie for sharing and being vulnerable

Hi, I just found your channel about a month ago and your channel and advice has really helped me

When I was experiencing anxiety disorder and depression 18 years ago it was the feelings of derealization that were the absolute worst. So disturbing when it first happened to me, I really thought I was going absolutely insane. And so hard to get control of yourself as that wave of derealization takes hold of you. For me it was like 20 foot thick glass descending over me and the whole world around me was just this hazy illusion. I mean you would be doing something as innocuous as talking to one of your friends or a work colleague and without warning this elemental feeling of "I'm not really here, none of this exists" would just descend. Sometimes I'd just have to walk away to try get under control (it must have looked so weird to whoever I was talking to....)

The positivity in this video is remarkable. Thank you both for putting this out there and being so down to earth. Topics like this are rarely discussed transparently but I could (and I bet statisitics say 95% of us) relate to alot of these internal struggles. Also! Love your videos Kati, Im in my junior year for a b.s. in psychology and your videos always help me remember what I'm working for.

I was brought to tears by this. Thank you for being so open.

My mom and I live with my grandmother She is the most toxic negative person I have ever known She’s nice and sweet one minute then the next screaming about bills and money and telling us we’re lazy and to move out when we’re both trying She is so obsessed with my mom and I when we leave she calls non stop when we are getting ready she asks us 20.000 questions She complains about every single thing She tries to catch us in lies so she has excuses to start fights The other day I was sitting at the table she comes in and asks me where I’m going I say didn’t mom tell you and she calls me disrespectful 10 minutes later the microwave she coffee pot are thrown on the table she’s screaming at us calling us lazy and white trash my moms crying I’m shaking and disassociating I’m so sick of my so called grandmother Some days I just stare off into space hoping for the day we move out and I can put this behind me but I know the anxiety will always stick with me I’ll always feel like I’m less than I’ll always feel like I’m walking on egg shells Because my own grandma made me feel like it I’m tired of going to bed wondering what she’s going to be like the next morning Those are usually the days I wake up to her yelling and I’m laying cod shaking Worrying I don’t know what to do I just turned 18 and I feel so stuck so useless

*im not a therapist, just someone with similar experience* I’m 26 and I lived with my abusive family for years, they drove me crazy, made me feel like I was the bad guy, put me through things my mind just blocks out I can’t even remember. My advice to you in the here and now is try to meditate for a minute, try to find your peace and center in the chaos. Watch more of this wonderful woman’s videos, reach out to friends, and if you can, try to find a job. Talk about your options with your mom, are you guys willing to save and move out? Try to find some options for you two. It gets better, but it’s going to take a long time. I had to distance myself from my abusers to begin to heal. I moved out at 21, have been trying to heal for 5 years, and I still feel the ringing in my ears from the chaos at home, but not every day. It gets better, baby steps, feel better, love, forgive, you got this ❤️

Hey I got question.... My friend says she's been cutting herself and I've seen them on her arm. I've tried talking to her about it and my friend went to the school counselor. She was really mad at my friend after the counselor called her in. She said she curs herself when she's bored.

@raemills3089

5 жыл бұрын

Cutting /self harm can be a marker of a lot of things. Truth be told, based on your comment I am guessing you're in high school. You have notifed an adult, who now has eyes on the situation. From an education stand point, most high school guidance counselors are both teachers AND educationally qualified pyschotherapist. So, you, a minor, have notified a qualifed adult. So, really, you've done what you can. I hate to say this, so please read the whole comment before reacting. Your friend may not trust you. No one cuts because they're board. Cutting can be about pain, redirecting, believing they need to be punished, a cry for attention, shutting complex emotion down ect. It could be situational, it could be a chemical imbalance or a personality disorder. It is about them, however, not you. You have done nothing wrong. You should offer support "I'm here if you want to talk" "I care about you" "can I help you look into councillors ?" "What can I do to help you help yourself?" The truth is, they need to seek help for themself. They will only make changes when they're ready. You can support and love but you cannot put the ownership on you, because this is not your ball. You did the right thing. You need to hear that. you did the right thing by telling someone. Whatever happens, you did the right thing.

It really stood out to me the bit where he talked about jumping out of a moving vehicle in an attempt to escape an abuser who has you cornered in a car, because I also have had to do that before in my past, and nobody I know personally has ever resorted to that risky of a flight response. I didn’t even care if jumping could have killed or seriously hurt me at that point, nothing would have been as painful as what I was going through.

What a beautiful story! I am so glad this was filmed. I can imagine that there's a fine line where you have to be mindful yourself, to not therapetize during what's meant to be a conversation. This provides great insight for what a therapist does in a "civilian" space, and thank you!

What a beautiful discussion about the resiliency of the human spirit. Amazing man. I know he is helping so many with his story.

Idk how I feel about this video. Thank you for making it! I have never met anyone who has gone through mental abuse and knew that it happened. I don't know who to talk to, but listening to this is like talking about it. I feel like I finally got to have a conversation about it.

Great video guys...I’m trying to get myself to think bout seeing a therapist after yrs of denying that I need it..this kinda thing helps & I love listening to the interaction. Much love to ya both💕😘❤️✌🏼✌🏼

I enjoyed this video. Makes me reconsider how I treat others when I can get angry about stuff that I don't really care that much about. It's weird because I was never abused from what I remember, but I completely understand the disassociation. I just like to combat people's ideas, and sometimes get a bit too into it.

What can I do about mixing up my appointments? I am so stressed but I mix it up as soon as I write them down. I’ve missed my meds appointment and a check in appointment when I have needed them the most. Now I have to wait 3 months before someone can finally help with my suicidal thoughts and my meds not working.

The best pieces of advice I'd ever been given from his last of words shed a light on my concept that a really emotionally injured person walking on the right track can potentially play a part just like a real therapist to other people at the end.

I'm sorry for what you have gone through. I have depression and anxiety and my Mum has Bipolar disorder, my Dad has depression and had two nervous breakdowns and is a recovering alcoholic so the have both taken out thier stress and anger out on me. They favour my sister over me and in their eye's she never does wrong, so when she did something wrong, she would lie and say that I did it and they would believe her every time and even though I wasn't even in the room at all then and they knew where I was if she broke something or whatever they still punished me every time. Whatever she did or said wrong and she would deliberately get me in trouble for something I didn't do, I got blamed and punished every time. My parents would shout loudly at me in public telling me off, (they still do that) I have never seen them punish my sister like that or at all. Even though my Dad has depression he doesn't understand my depression and he will shout louder and louder at me even though I have told him that stresses me out, causes me to have panic attacks, Stomach problem flare ups (my stomach problem has calmed down as I found something that helps it so I have less flare ups now) sometimes and when I have told him I can't cope when he stresses me out like that he has told me I don't care if it stresses you out. I care about them but he doesn't care about the impact his anger has on my mental health. I am in my 30 now and have been made redundant twice so I can't afford to rent and live with them. Things have improved a bit, but Dad has never done anything to deal with his anger.

Thank you for this! We love Boogie, he is someone my husband and we keep up with online and care about. ( hi Boogie! ) I agree with Kati, gosh we really like you! Thank you for the honesty and the updates. You both help so much and it is appreciated. Much Love.

I have bpd and did and I dissociated into my childhood and it is all happening again, the things I thougth were not real are happening again and I react the same way I used to when I was little, I invalidate myself and feel helpless. Before this I had control over things and I was able to recognize one thing from the other but now im sooo emotionally vulnerable that I end up invalidating myself. What can I do? #katifaq #katifaq

5 things that make me happy is hard man. 1 - Making my family happy 2 - My cat 3 -

What a nice guy, can relate to much of what he said as far as emotional abuse being far worse than physical, and having no confidence after abuse... Ten years of an abusive marriage and there's nothing left of me...

#KatiFAQ can you perhaps help? I had the following experience. Started to shake and so bad I could not write. Dizziness followed. Phoned my hubby to pick me up as I don’t feel well. The pins and needles started in my hands and my legs got cold. Breathing difficulties and the pins now moved up my arms and into my face so bad that I could not speak or move a muscle in arms or hands. They clenched together. My blood pressure went through the roof. I only remember bits here and there till they stabilized met in ER. I was scared out of my pants. What and why does this happen?

I was going to say that sounds like a panic attack until I read the part about the blood pressure and the ER. You should talk to your doctor about what happened to you, there could be a really simple answer.

I think he's charismatic and kind. Confidence isn't just about looks. It's difficult for many different kinds of people.

It's so interesting I'm seeing this now, I just spoke at a university today about my experiences with DID, it's great to see more people are open about dissociation and trying to remove the stigma.

Thank you Katie for all that you do from a victim of attempted murder & PTSD survivor. I love your videos. Really helpful. ❤

I had a bit of an epiphany about one of my own brain squirrels (what I call my specific "crazies " or mental health issues). Not sure I can put into words but here goes: unless I am indoors by myself and not at a window where I could be seen, I always feel like I am being observed and judged by other people. Not specific people as such, but just this ongoing feeling that people are looking at me and thinking badly of me. I suppose I have just accepted that I'm paranoid. But I think perhaps to some extent I am actually depersonalising - viewing myself from ths third person - and it's actually me looking at and judging myself negatively 🙃 not really sure how to overcome it but I can at least manage it and for the most part challenge the thoughts.

Sometimes I feel like my traumatic experience was not enough for me to develop ptsd and my eating disorder...Is it only me?

Isabelle Larsen I agree, sometimes hearing stories like these make my past experiences seem so invalid by what they produced, idk how to feel about this.

No it's not just you... a lot of people think like that and assume what happened really wasn't bad enough. But trust me.. if you ever feared for your life or that of someone you know and love.. that's enough to have PTSD. xoxo

This was a really informative discussion. I've watched some of Boogie's content on his previous challenges with mental health issues and appreciate the raw and honest discussion here.

Hey Kati I was wondering something... What is the difference between Clinical Depression and MDD? thanks you!

@Katimorton

There isn't difference between the two when it comes to the DSM and how we diagnose and treat it here in the US. I do know that other countries have their own diagnosis and terms they use.. so that may be why you are hearing both :) xox

@@Katimorton Oh okay thank you so much! :)

Very interesting talk, glad to hear his story. Wish him the best. Is there any way "back" for people that have gone through traumatic things like this? Or will it stay there and you have to learn to live with it and control it?

such a devastating life but such a positive man! I cannot ever understand these kinds of people who keep smiling even through the shittiest of times. I commend you, this is a great video!

I love and appreciate when people put themselves out there, warts and all, in order to raise awareness and incite change. I'm 50 now and was diagnosed with the cPTSD ensemble 6 1/2 years ago. The more I incessantly learn, the more I compulsively ponder, the more I come to believe that the only real chance I have at a normal life is speaking (and getting a service dog!). Perhaps getting it out there, pushing beyond the disbelievers and "omnipotent" self-help purveyors and trying to find groups of parents and youngsters who unfortunately understand chronic CSA and need to know more. Maybe in that role, and downing a lot of Ativan, I will somehow achieve some kind of prosocial, productive version of fulfilling "normal".

I really like this video, I have struggled with very similar things as him and its good to know that I'm not alone and that I can heal as well. Thank you, Kati and Boogie :)

Did you use an ASMR microphone to record the audio?

Kati, not only are you an excellent counselor, but you also seem like you’d be a terrific friend!

Kati, thank you! I really enjoy your videos, as well as hearing the guests you bring on. 💙

Thank both of you so much for this. I have never watched boogie, and never known his story, but I am amazed how openly he talks about his issues. I am grateful to both of you for this conversation, I have learned many things about myself.

I’m so depressed. And than I watch ur videos it brings me up

Thanks for sharing your story boogie. And thanks for another video Kati. My 13 year old sister is going through a hard time at the moment and your videos are helping her too xx
