 All right, everybody. I figured it out. I figured what's up with Katie Morton and Shane Dawson. 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 helping you improve your mental and emotional well-being. So what I try to do, I try to take things from the YouTube community or pop culture and try to teach you how to improve your mental health. So if you're into that kind of stuff, make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell. Now, all of my loyal subscribers out there, you're like, where the heck is Chris? So I am at Vid Summit in Los Angeles, California. Lunch was at 12. It's like a big YouTube event. I will be doing a recap when I get home. This is some of the best. I don't know. I just can't explain it. I haven't had a great experience like this in a long time. But anyways, like, I'm like, okay, I got to go, you know, watch the Shane video. So I literally took my box lunch and came to my car, ate my lunch, hooked up the Bluetooth, watched Shane on my thing, like, man, I hustle. That's just what I do. I hustle. You got to hustle with your mental health too. All right. But anyways, I know a lot of you, you've been enjoying my Shane Dawson Recap. So I was like, I got to do this. I got to do this. All right. So a big huge shout out to Zach Snyder Productions. He's been editing my stuff. I've been sending it to him. One of the coolest guys I've met in YouTube. I've been linking him down in the description. If you are into nerd culture, like comic books, superhero movies, video games and stuff, go check out his channel. But he's just one of the best dudes I've ever met. I love this guy. And I wish I could afford to pay him for all the editing I wish he could do on my channel. All right. Anyways, anyways, I'm going to try to keep this short. There's so much to talk about. So I'm going to do three videos. Zach is the first one you're watching, but you're going to do three videos. So I took notes. Y'all know I love my notebook. So anyways, and I'm going to be glancing over because this is not my normal setup. But I want to talk about Katie Morton's role in this thing. So some of you have seen my videos about Katie Morton. So Katie Morton is a licensed marriage and family therapist. One of Shane's friends. And there's just been so much controversy going on. Like, I want to, you know, start off this video by saying this. I think now that we're at episode six, like there was so much controversy about sociopath and everything like if you watch the videos I did with my mom, I truly think and I think this solidified it today that the whole sociopath thing is out the window. It's so out the window and I didn't I can't it kind of bumps me out because the way Shane like makes so many episodes like people couldn't see like the whole thing like this was just like an hour and a half long like documentary people by the end of it would have calmed down. You know what I mean? But because of the way that it's structured and released, like people had the opportunity to time to freak out about the whole sociopath thing, the things that Katie Morton said about icky and gross, you know, and all that. But I think that whole thing is out the window. Shane is starting to realize you don't have to pathologize everything. Some people are just certain ways and all of that. So that's what I think like as a mental health advocate. I don't think the sociopath thing like I think, you know, one of my goals, let's put it this way. One of my goals is to increase awareness and decrease the stigma. Shane got to learn a lot about mental health and the mental health culture that we have today through this experience of making this documentary as well as through the experience of releasing the documentary. Like he he has had two big experiences and like Shane is constantly learning and constantly growing. So I think this is really good for him and for all of you out there, like sometimes the backlash you get, sometimes the criticism you get, it's only there to make you a stronger and better person. Like I am very careful about the way I act, those things I say and a lot of it's because I screw up, right? There's no losses. There's only learning experiences, you know, so I think Shane has grown through this. So Katie Morton in this like she was exposed as a therapist to Erica. Now I made a video about like is this ethical, right? Is this ethical? Now I don't even know if I can give a final opinion on this. Maybe I need to talk to my mom again, but I don't know. It seemed maybe Shane watched the video I did about it, but I don't think we're ever going to know. I don't think we're ever going to know, but in my opinion, like where we see it now, Shane and Katie. Katie is basically Shane's mental health friend, okay? Like she's just a friend. Like there's a clip and towards the beginning where they're in the car and they're talking after they went to Walmart and like What are your thoughts? He's so nice. He really genuinely cares about people. I think so too, right? And like Katie was just there like and it was just a friend conversation. And now that I look back to that episode 2 with Katie Morton, I'm like no wonder why she was so casual with her talking. Like you guys, I'll be straight up right now. I will be straight up with all of you. If any of you heard all of the conversations I've had, like those of you who watched my live stream, like you would know that I am not careful with my words. I say things that can be considered very offensive. Like so I get that I get like I understand it from Katie now and I've made other videos about it. Like you guys I'm I'll just say this. I worked in mental health for some years now. My mom like she mentioned has been in in 20 years like what you guys saw Katie Morton say is nowhere near what people say like, okay, okay. Here's a great example. Like what do you think happens in the teacher break room? Like remember when you were in elementary school and your teachers would go to the break room? Like what do you think they were saying about you? Like what do you think they were saying about the kids in your class? What do you think they were saying about you being a pain in the butt? You know what I mean? Like I don't know. It's just weird that we hold these people to such high standards. They're people too. You know, I have a lot of empathy. I have a lot of patience. Like when I'm working with clients one on one or in a group setting, I've had people come cuss me out all sorts of stuff and I can show them love and compassion like in their face. But that doesn't mean I don't go home to my girlfriend and say, yo, there's this kid in my treatment center right now and he is a pain in the butt. Like sorry guys, welcome to the real world. We do this stuff like I'm sure firefighters who save you from a bullet burning building like they saved your life. They might be like, man that dude I saved man. He was like kicking like a weirdo. You know what I mean? Like I don't know. So I just hope everybody's calm down at this point. But Katie, I can really relate to Katie because in my circle, like I don't know. Like in my circle, I've become this mental health guy. Right? It's what I do. Like you guys all come to my channel, you know, mental health and all of that. But like my friends who have known me for years and they saw me, you know, get clean and sober. They saw me improving my mental health. They saw my life getting better. Like I am that person now. Like I'm the person that people turn to. So I didn't see Katie so much as a therapist as just a friend that could offer clarity to Shane. And that's just my experience. Like I like a lot of people come to me with that same stuff. They ask me questions. How should I, how should I handle this? How should I word this? What do you think? You know what I mean? So she like, I like, I love that Katie. See, that's another thing. I'm like, I know you guys are going to say like, Oh, you're a Katie stan. I don't care. Like when a, when a therapist goes above and beyond and tries to understand the brain science and stuff, I love that because I'm a huge neuroscience nerd. So when Katie was talking with Erica after she exposed that she was a therapist and talked about the brain science of like how you got to separate like your work from your, your, your, your like living space. And you know, like, like she mentioned, if you do a bunch of work in your bed, it's going to be hard to sleep because your brain is associated that. Like I'm just, I'm a fan of anybody who is interested in brain science. All right. So if you like brain science, I love you. Okay. But anyways, hold on. I'm looking at my notes. I don't know if Zach's going to cut this out. Towards the end, the ending of this, this is where I do have some criticism of Shane and Katie. And again, my videos are for you. My videos are for you. Okay. I don't know. It's just interesting because in episode two, Katie kind of like brought to Shane's attention that he's a fixer, right? That he's a fixer. He wants to help people. He wants to fix people. That's not a bad quality. But what can happen is, is you get into a position of unsolicited advice, which can make people really upset. What is this serious? What am I doing? What am I doing? I can't do that. Well, we're not forcing anybody to do anything they don't want to do. But just to turn the tables, if you feel like this is so personal to you, would you have wished someone would have told you or said something to you earlier? So, and this, this is something that might have happened behind the scenes that we don't know. But like, did Shane ask? Did Shane ask like, yo, Jake, like, do you want me to help you get your life back on track? Or do you want me to help you, you know, just as like your YouTube mentor? Do you want me to share my experience with you? Like my mom taught me that very long time ago. Like I used to be the huge, the biggest person. Like I would throw around unsolicited advice all the time, all the time and people would get pissed. It gets so mad. Like people get defensive. Like think about it. Like, do you have anybody where you're just giving them advice and they get mad? Yeah. Like we do. It attacks our pride. It attacks our ego. So like Katie like, I don't know. And maybe she asked Shane this on the side, but like on camera, like if it was me, if it was me, like when my friends come to me like that or even my clients come to me like that. The first question I ask is like, why do you feel that you need to fix this situation? Why do you feel that you need to be involved in this situation? Why do you feel that you need to give them this advice? Like we got to ask ourselves that question. Like Shane is just now meeting Jake Paul. He's filming a documentary. Like what's he doing? Like coming in there like, you know, like Captain save a Jake. You know what I mean? Like I hope, I hope that makes sense. So I want you to kind of look at that in your life and saying, why am I going around trying to fix people trying to give advice? Is it working? Is it not working? But I will end with a positive note. So I like that sandwich technique. You do positive criticism, positive for all of you employers and manager out there know the sandwich technique. So I'm going to end with a positive. Shane did a good job asking Katie like, how do you think I should approach this? And that's perfect. So like if Shane's going to do it anyways, he might as well get somebody's advice on like how to do it the right way. And Katie nailed it. Okay, Katie nailed it. I remember somebody left a nasty comment on my video a few weeks ago and they're like, oh, this guy, this guy is like the vegan of addicts. He's got to tell everybody that he's an addict in recovery. No, it's because what I learned is the way you, the best way to give people advice is to share your own experience. So Katie was telling Shane that the way he should approach Jake is by sharing his experience and saying, I can relate to that. Like if you're wondering why people go to 12 step programs, that's it. The best way to receive advice is by somebody sharing their own experience and you going, oh, wow. Well, maybe if it worked for them, it can work for me and Shane has a ton of experience. So anyways, that's my review slash reaction for this thing. I want to, I want to hear from all of you down in the comments below. Oh, okay. Two questions. Answer, answer one of both. Okay. One of both. Okay. Are you somebody who gives unsolicited advice? Like, is it a problem? Like, let me know in the comments or are you somebody who gets defensive when you get unsolicited advice? Like I hope you guys read the comments because like you can learn and grow from other people's experiences and that's what I really hope people can do with this channel. All right. But anyways, that's all I got for you right now. Again, thank you Zach Snyder from Zach Snyder Productions for editing my stuff while I'm out of town. I just realized I'm shaking this camera a lot. So I hope you fixed it somehow, some way. But anyways, that's all I got.
