 Hey everybody, I find myself getting bullied in comments And I know I've opened myself to a whole another group of people and that's fine And I'm an adult and like if I have to block you that's what I'm gonna do because I don't have to allow you to hang out In my pool like most of my viewers, you know like bullying or shit talking or like harassing people It's never gonna get you anywhere in the community and I'll just block you everywhere as many different You know profiles as you can create Yikes, that's right Licensed marriage and family therapist Katie Morton who is a youtuber here on the platform Just did her video the dark side of Jake Paul with Shane Dawson and she's been getting a lot a lot of backlash about it And I have a few things to say so make sure that you stay tuned What is up everybody? This is Chris from the rewired soul where we talk about the problem But focus on the solution and if you're new to my channel my channel is all about mental health Sometimes I take things from the YouTube community or just pop culture in general to try to teach you how to improve your mental health But I'm also a mental health advocate So I try to decrease the stigma increase awareness and all that kind of stuff So if you're into that make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell because I make a ton of videos So let's break it down real quick for those of you who are in a cave And you don't know what's going on with the Shane Dawson series about Jake Paul Basically Shane Dawson is doing a series about Jake Paul Shane believes that Jake might be a sociopath in his first episode he talked with a Commentary youtuber by the name of iNabber in this second episode he talked with Katie Morton who has almost a half a million subscribers She's a licensed marriage and family therapist if you watch the videos on link up in the info card. I sang her praises She's a very smart well educated woman and like she she knows her stuff when it comes to mental health and therapy and things like that So that's one of the reasons she's so popular on the platform now in the video She she talks about sociopaths and not so kind way and Basically, I was just going through Instagram today I follow Katie on Instagram and I saw her story and I'm like yeah, I need to talk about this So what I'm gonna do I'm gonna play you a majority of her Instagram story and then we'll come back and we'll break it apart Okay, hey everybody I had a video go live today And I want to talk a little bit about it because I've gotten a few comments not a ton But just a few comments that I think it's kind of important to address your concerns Now those comments that I received were people saying that they were like Disappointed that I would say that people that sociopaths or people with antisocial personality disorder can't be fixed And that's not really what I'm saying what I'm saying is they don't care to be and that's because if you listen to the whole Video you have to understand that people who are sociopaths don't feel bad about themselves They don't want to get better and so it's not really that we're saying they're unfixable and they're terrible and well You should stay away from them It's just like they don't really feel bad and for those of us who are not sociopaths That's really hard for us to understand because we feel bad about it But just keep in mind that they don't and I know that that's kind of difficult to understand But I don't know all you can swipe up here to watch the video and listen But I'd love to hear your thoughts and also a lot of people are talking about sociopath and psychopath being different words One's born with it one's created and I know that there's a lot of information online that supports that but Diagnostically speaking from a clinician standpoint. There is no difference and that's just all I have to say about it But as always you have every right to have your own opinion My opinion is not the one and only thing that is important That's why I love to have conversations with you in the comments, but I hope you found today's video interesting I did a ton of research. I read a bunch of books about this topic. So I hope you like it Hey, everybody, I find myself getting bullied in comments And I know I've opened myself to a whole another group of people and that's fine And I'm an adult and like if I have to block you that's what I'm gonna do because I don't have to allow you to hang out In my pool because this is my pool but just to address the people that are like, how dare you talk about Sociopaths as they are and like dehumanize them. I'm not dehumanizing them What I'm doing is telling people what to look out for because if you haven't recognized this sociopaths sociopathy or antisocial or antisocial personality disorder They don't have empathy for other people and often utilize other people to Further their own gain which can be really hurtful to a lot of us and that means that if there's only 4% of the population 4% of population otherwise known as 1 in 25 people Have this I don't want any of us to fall victim to their manipulation and sure those people that can make I'm sound like they're bad people, but if you're using people for your own gain and not in a thoughtful And if you're not helping people in a loving manner that I'm sorry But I'm gonna protect the 96% of people who might be negatively affected and If you are the 4% then you should get help But we know statistically speaking that those with Antisocial personality disorder don't get help and when they do get help They actually use the information that it would gain from a therapist such as myself as a way to hurt others And this isn't meant to stigmatize other mental illnesses You guys know me. I've been putting out videos forever about all sorts of mental illnesses And so if you feel upset or hurt by that that actually means you're not a sociopath and just know That we need to be more aware. We need to talk about it more. Nobody talks about it That's really the whole goal of the video is just to educate and let you know. That's it Just know that like most of my viewers, you know like bullying or shit talking or like harassing people It's never gonna get you anywhere in the community and I'll just block you everywhere as many different You know profiles as you can create because that's just not nice And I think overall I'm just upset that people would think that I would want to stigmatize mental illness more It just shows you don't know me and I think that's sad to me and disappointing because I have like a thousand videos to prove the opposite thing all right, all right, so I Just want to share my thoughts and my opinions on this because I'm very torn I'm very torn on this subject like I had some comments on my video that said Kind of the same thing that Katie's been hearing and I'm torn I'm torn I can see both sides of it because I too am a mental health professional and and it's difficult It's it's difficult and it's hard But first I'll go on the side of some some of the backlash that she's been receiving because I can I can definitely understand why like I Was watching the video when she was talking with Shane Dawson and like man, I think I'm trying to empathize here I think Katie's just so comfortable talking in this one-on-one setting and things like that that you know when a camera's on certain things are You know taking taking it away where you don't truly understand who Katie more nays So basically like some of the things that made me kind of like cringe a little like and don't quote me verbatim Like cuz I'm gonna try to quote off-memory what she said But every time she said something to Shane to the effect like when Shane's reaction to was like oh my god So she'll pass and like Katie said something along the lines of like yeah It's really gross, huh? She said like a few other things like kind of just saying like they're bad people and that's why I was like Because like with mental illness like it's so It's so difficult and like I made a video yesterday about Shane being a fixer and how he tries to see the good and all People and stuff and that's definitely Me too like and and there's a lot of videos I don't make because I know the public backlash that I can get but like I Empathize with a lot of people like I may not agree with what they do I may think they're disgusting terrible human being for what they have done But on a human level I still empathize like something I always say and I try to teach it to my clients It's I love everybody, but I don't like everybody. All right, so like I definitely understand why Katie's getting some of this Here's the thing on the same day so yesterday Katie morning posted a video on her channel titled like is he a sociopath and Here's a clip from that. Dr. Kent Keele published a book in 2014 of his findings from doing research on male inmates And I know yes, it's just males and yes These are only people in prisons now He was able to compare the brains using structural MRI data of inmates who had scored high on hair Psychopathy checklist meaning that they were already psychopaths. That's what that is That checklist tells us and he compared those brains with those who did not score high on that checklist So they're not a sociopath What they found was astounding Sociopaths showed reduced gray matter in the orbital frontal cortex amygdala hippocampus insula temporal lobe and the Anterior and the posterior singulate meaning that the entire Paralympic circuitry was impaired So, yeah, this is something that I try to do on my channel a lot One of the reasons my channel is called the rewired soul is because I talk about how science has proven neuroplasticity And how we can rewire our brain so Katie through her extensive research She learned that sociopaths actually have different Brain chemistry than the average person. So like when you look at that when you look at that I look at it in the realm of mental illness like this person's brain is not functioning properly, right? With these different parts of the brain Interacting with each other and how there's decreased gray matter gray matter like they're not Experiencing empathy in the same way that somebody should right so what I would say what I would argue is that we need to do more Research and see how we could fix that, you know, because I don't like the idea like every one of these people You know, obviously every human being has a mother and a father, right? A lot of them have brothers sisters, you know and stuff like that So even criminals like I'm of the belief that criminals should be rehabilitated But if people are biologically different where their brain cannot Empathize or have a conscience, you know, they're good and bad and stuff like that Like I think that we need to fund some research to figure out how the heck do we fix that? You know, rather than just taking a human life walking away forever and then they're separated from their families and all that kind of stuff So again where I can see where some of people some of the people were kind of offended or Disagreed what she said like I'm a drug addict and alcoholic in recovery Okay, and like as I was watching her video with Shane about sociopaths like So many addicts so many people in active addiction have sociopathic sociopathic tendencies, right? Like everything I did was to get I would manipulate. I would lie. I would cheat. I would steal I not only did it to get and use drugs or get and drink alcohol. I also did it, you know To women I did it to friends and family. I would lie I would say exactly what they needed to hear so I could get what I wanted, right? But I am six years clean and sober if you ask anybody who knows me. I am rehabilitated So like I don't believe that people are lost causes when it comes to sociopaths though It's difficult because we know their brains are different and I don't know if science has gotten there But I don't think that anybody's lost cause. Okay, now now the pro Katie Morton side I get it. I get what she's saying. Okay for those of you who don't know I I'm an author too. I write some books. I will link down in the description below Shameless plug I wrote a book called caught in the crossfire and it's a book for anybody who's been affected by a drug addict or an alcoholic Right because most people they want to know how do I help them? How do I help this person? But in the book I explain like sometimes you gotta cut that person out of your life, right? And like so I get what Katie's saying like It's tough and like as mental health professionals We gotta tell you that tough stuff that isn't always so nice and it's not so warm and fuzzy and lovey-dovey and stuff like that Like for me personally, I did not get clean and sober and people until people cut ties with me They had to let me go my mom was ready to let me die because I was killing myself and refusing to get help You know what? I mean so so like it's difficult like now that I'm in recovery And I've worked at treatment centers and things like that Like I have to tell people when they get sober like you gotta cut your best friend out of your life You gotta cut your mom your dad out of your life. You gotta cut your husband or wife out of your life We have to tell people that and that's where I see exactly where Katie Morton's coming from like in her instagram story She states that you know, uh One out of every 25 people right are our sociopaths So her view on this is trying to protect the majority of people and yes, like it's true So as mental health professionals, we are stuck in this tricky situation, you know So I will say this like Katie ended her video by saying like those are people who follow me and you know me like You know better than that right and like this is where I talk about how You know people have like black and white thinking. This is a symptom of borderline personality disorder But a lot of people struggle with uh black and white thinking even though you don't have borderline personality disorder Like when I saw Katie saying those things like my brain because I struggle with black and white thinking It wanted me to put Katie from the all good pile into the all bad pile Right and I had to calm myself down and say wait wait look at Katie as a whole look at her as a whole What does she believe? Who is she as a person? And let me tell you one of my favorite videos by Katie Morton Which I don't think I've nearly as many views as it should have Is she made a video dedicated to the fact that california years ago california passed a bill to get a ton a ton of funding For mental health right to help the homeless in california to provide better mental health care They got a ton of money But what they're doing is is they didn't do anything with that money and now they're reallocating that money and Katie took time on her channel to stray away from her normal content and basically do some mental health advocacy And that right there shows me as a person who Katie Morton is and me and her We're fighting the same fight to try to get more awareness out there to help people get better mental health care And all that kind of stuff So so please if you're watching this like like if you don't know Katie Morton very well Like go check out some of her videos you'll you'll learn to understand her as a person And I hope my video and my voice on the subject kind of offered you some insight and like I said I'm torn on it like I don't know if I would necessarily have Worded it the way she did Shane Dawson is amazing at editing. So is his Film guy hand drew, you know, so there might have been things cut out But I know Katie loves all people and hopes for the best But like she said It's very hard with sociopaths because they might just be pretending to get help So in my opinion, we need to fund research and see how we can help those people You know what I mean But anyways, let me know your thoughts down in the comment comment section below Um, I I hope this offered you a new point of view.
