GOD DAMMIT JACK, YOUR therapist shouldn't be making ME cry.

I really like the part when Dr. K first asks about how it feels to be talked over, and when Jack starts going into the logical explanation, Dr. K talks over him with the same question to get the actual feeling out of Jack. Such a subtle but great way to get people to be more honest with themselves.

I Am Pretty Sure Your Dad Is Proud Of You ! Stay Strong 💓

Sean, I clicked on this video thinking "oh sure, I'll throw on this longer video so I can work and have a creator I look up to play in the background," but I've gotten nothing done, and instead I'm sitting here pretending I don't have a lump in my throat. Since my KZfaq has "taken off" I've been having so much trouble keeping up. I can feel so many parallels between my timeline and yours, especially mentally. It is so goddamn encouraging to hear you talk about your emotional struggle with the attention that comes with a larger audience. You obviously have a much larger audience, and deal/have dealt with the things that I am to a much larger degree, but this has been helpful to me. This comment will no doubt get lost in the thousands of positive comments, but even reaching out to you to tell you this helps me feel less isolated in what I'm doing. Thanks, man.

I really need to see a therapist. This shit was hitting so close, I started crying. And a lot of what Jack said about self actualization really spoke to me, it makes me want to help myself in the way I deserve.

"sounds like you learned to be a character at quite a young age, and that you had to be a character to be noticed" FUCK you bet i cried man. i am so grateful that you both did this. i really do hope that you are doing okay. what you have gone through and are currently go through is shaping you to be the self realizing person you are. and it's beautiful to see.

It's sad how Jack has to always be like "this is why I'm taking a break" losing someone so close such as a parent is going to hit you hard and because Jack is popular he has to tell people every little thing because he doesn't want people digging into stuff they shouldn't be in. I don't want to sound like every person ever but, do whatever you need to Jack because you are a human and humans can have emotion. I love you Jack

I’m so glad to see Seán being able to open up to others, put himself out there and be aware that he deserves to be happy.

I recently lost my 98yo grandma and while it wasn’t unexpected, it still fckn hit hard 🥺 I take forever to grieve for my family, I’m still not “over” my grandpa’s death in February 1992 , and that’s ok too

I’ve always been scared to go see a therapist for how people would judge me or how they would see me but seeing this really helps me to feel okay with talking to someone about my own personal issues without being judged for them. Thank you Sean, Seriously Thank you

Every part about his insecurities and being the youngest kid, not getting your word in and all of the things about loving yourself and realizing that you ARE good enough. You’re not just a smaller version of someone else, you’re your own person. That stuff hit HARD

I forgot how deep Jack's voice can be when he's being serious. But it's good to listen to him opening up to someone

27:50 “I’m gonna ask you like personal questions about feelings and shit like that.” I just love the way he said it, lol. It’s refreshing to hear professionals who talk like us. I really think having younger experts is beneficial in reaching out.

"At the end of the day, you shit like everyone else " quote of the year

Dear Jack The older I get the more life stops giving and the more it begins to take but the fact that you continue to give yourself shows your character sir. There is only room for kindness these days after the hell we have all lived through.

The fact that the comments on here are all way longer than the normally upvoted instant punchline sort of youtube jokes is so cool. It's just everyone sharing their own experiences and relating to eachother's (and Jack's) positions and problems. I think it's awesome!

My favorite part of therapy is when your therapist drops a truth bomb and you're just like... *explosion* *mic drop*

33:20 "What are you feeling right now?" "Good" Literally goosebumps and tears in my eyes 🥺

Honestly if he decided to ever take a year long break, I wouldn’t even be mad. He deserves time to himself. KZfaq is stressful, there’s trolls who can honestly get to you sometimes. I’m so happy he decided to take the time and open up.

Honestly, the privacy or hate thing is something really toxic that is embedded into a lot of people online. The whole “oh you should’ve expected it” thing is a completely valid viewpoint, but at the end of the day, ONLINE CONTENT CREATORS ARE STILL PEOPLE WITH RIGHTS.

I've been waiting LITERAL AGES!!! For someone to tell Jack to stop devaluating his own words!!!! That the things he puts out there are more than enough and he shouldn't doubt his own skills in getting the message across!!!! He's been doing that since as long as I can remember and im glad that someone finally made him be more aware of it. I wish you all the best Seán, Love you!!!💞💖💘

The way he talks so freely and openly, makes me respect him even more.

If someone has been anxious about therapy, maybe worrying about what it’s like and hesitating to get a therapist, I hope that this made it a little easier and took away some of that fear.

My little green bean is growing up to be a tree. They grow up so fast.

If Sean ever needs to say "F U" to us I think we'd all understand lol

I am 20 years old and I’m almost done with my associates degree at my local college, and I still don’t know what I want to do with my life. When Sean said, “you’re not gonna figure it out that quick,” it made me feel relieved!!! So thank you, Sean!!!

I love how Dr. K is opening with a “stranger.” I’ve had therapists try to open up conversations I’m not ready to have. Then I feel forced into it. I left those therapist.

I am honestly astonished that Jack was brave enough to post a very vulnerable therapy session to the internet. When most people are hiding behind a screen, he's laid himself bare to everyone. I can't get over that level of vulnerability. And as a social worker who has seen many different therapists, this guy is REALLY good. Bravo to the both of you, but most of all you, Jack. So proud of you and I feel so honored that you shared this with us. Thank you.

All this knowledge about Sanskrit and Buddha and all these terms - Dukha, Vidya, Nyan have originated from India. As an Indian watching this, i feel so proud that the knowledge of our motherland is helping people so much across the world! Thanks Jack for sharing this with us, means a lot. Take care

I want this guy as my therapist. I want him to call me out on my bullshit, cuz I feel like he could get through to me.

"It became a writing essay to say who can give the best condolences." It is so sad that being as famous as you are, it attracts fake friends that only drop their act when you actually need them. We need to do better.

This is so healthy, pure, and needed. There are so many people, especially men, that do not seek any sort of help for many things, and especially mental health. So excited to see you normalizing this practice, in a very public way, which was likely very difficult. Love you dude, keep on being you.

To everyone scrolling that needs it. Success in your eyes does not have to be the same as anyone else's if you ever feel like you can't get a word in edgewise or your voice isn't heard just remember the only expectations that crush you are your own and start from there you have control over your brain and you get to decide how it responds to the world around you so take a step back take a deep breath because no one can do it for you

I feel guilty now always calling him Jacksepticeye. I got so used to it that Sean and Jacksepticeye have the same weight, and I feel bad for that after listening to this

I'm honestly genuinely disgusted that people would even make fun of anyone's death, let alone an influencer's. I said this when Sean first mentioned this too but people are just so unempathetic and narrow minded that it saddens me. I'm just glad Sean is getting the help he needs, and it's smth I need to do too which is inspiring in it's own way. I'm thankful for Sean for posting this super private session, I hope people aren't stupid enough to say he's doing this for pity.

whenever i hear or see “jacksepticeye” i think of sean. i don’t think of a character. i think of this person that brings me and millions of others joy. we love you sean. take the time you need, we’ll be here when you want to be here. ❤️

"Hows it make you feel when people talk over you" "its shit stop doing it" 😅

I really relate to a lot of what Jack is saying in this. It makes me wonder if he's an enneagram type 9 like I am. When he talks about always wanting to please everyone and make sure that everyone else is okay and at peace, it really sounds like he might be.

Let’s stop holding celebs and youtubers to such high standards of what we want them to be and just appreciate them for who they are. If we see them on the street, just say hello! and that’s it. Let’s not rush them or not allow them to live how they want to. It’s toxic. Try to think of it in a way as if you’re in a relationship with someone. Would you date them for who they are and then expect them to be completely different to uphold how you want them to be? Then you’re not with them for who they are anymore. More like a doll for you to control and morph. Don’t like that thought? Don’t do it to celebs then! It’s along the same lines. Like obviously support them with everything they do, but don’t change them.

Jack thinks we will abandon him if he leaves for too long. I’m here to say, on behalf of (hopefully) everyone who watches your videos, that we enjoy your content. You know that, of course, being this popular. But what I don’t think you understand is that we enjoy it enough to stay with you and the channel, but not so much that a small break displeases us. If you need free time, if you need a break, just do it. We’ll be here. You don’t need such a horrible thing like a close family member passing away to deserve a break. But one thing, if I may ask... Don’t leave forever.

Sean has an impressive amount of self-awareness and emotional maturity. What a great conversation. Also subbed to Dr. K now. :)

The part in the end where you talked about the feeling of everybody being better than you in college etc really resonated with me, I am close to finishing my studies and will be applying for jobs soon. And I really gotta deal with that feeling of not really deserving the job because I am kind of an "Imposter" and not really good at what I do.

I feel like all you need to say is “we like you as a person and not just an entertainer and you’re perfect the way you are” don’t worry about it. Do what you want, you’re already a legend

Jesus Christ. Sean is essentially my model for self improvement and this video was a fucking gift. Thank you so much

"Does that require an F U?" *writes therapist notes*

This video really makes me see the importance of therapy

This is such a refreshing piece of content. To see someone who is highly valued and has a lot of expectations held against them talk about how draining it can be is fascinating to me. It really brings back the point that all creators are still humans. Who, behind the scenes, have had to fight for their place at the table or fight to get their point across and have their voice heard. For all we appreciate Sean and how hard he works, a lot of people need to remember that he is only 1 person who is grieving the death of his father, and working through a lot of emotional pain during the last few years. The self growth and reflection that consistently happened during this exchange was fantastic. So much love & support to Jack as always.

Whenever I talk about stuff I struggle with people always say “you’re not alone” but what they say doesn’t ever feel true until you hear someone else talking about the same problems with words you’ve been thinking for so long, thank you Jack

I actually really love that jack allowed himself to be recorded and share his personal memories and insecurities for us to see because I really resonated which a lot of the things he’s felt. It was very comforting and I really appreciate it ❤️

Hey Jack, you’re not alone in this mate. My younger sister (21) died four weeks ago of a pulmonary embolism. It really makes you think about how short life really is. Having been a pen pushing office clerk for the last 7 years, I too have been having that self-evaluation thing happen. All the best mate, you’ve got the full support of the community, love from the flooded NSW, Australia, Jake

When Jack was talking about pleasing people he's entire life and not pleasing himself and focusing on what he needs that's when I was thinking how much I can relate. He's so brave to open up about what he's been feeling and I hope this helps him. Stay strong Jack 💪🏻

I appreciate that he is so open with his mental journey and normalizes these kinds of conversations. Thank you Sean.

I never realized how much we have in common. I am the youngest of 8. My parents were 30 & 43 when I was born. My father passed NYE 2020. He would've been 85 this March 28th. I related to 90% of what you were talking about. I really needed to hear all his questions right now. This seriously hit home. Thank you!

one of the reasons i enjoy his channel and content, and letsplays even over others is that in games, especially those that deal with multiple endings, he has a level of empathy that cannot be matched; its who he is as a person that makes the games he plays so much more fun because of his reactions and responses. he's always searching for the symbolism and a deeper meaning and i genuinely enjoy someone who does that because they want to, not because they feel they have to, and i love how much he always makes me think and challenges my perspective. i remember especially when detroit become human came out, i watched like 4 different people play the first hour, but sean's is ultimately what i decided on watching and finishing the rest of because his empathy led him to make decisions similar to what i wouldve picked if i had the chance to play the game. and im glad i did because he really fell in love with that game and had a lot of fun with the memes, actually meeting connor, etc. i hope he comes across this message. i have always felt this way and was ignorant enough to think it was obvious and needed not to be said. but really, much as i love jack and his brand, i stay and return for sean and who he is as a person.

I ate up every word of this because not being heard is something I’m currently battling. Thank you Jack for being here and sharing journeys like this. I don’t know if I’d be as self reflective as I am if I hadn’t found your channel and I am always reaping the rewards of being taught that. I’m someone who, since the first day, has been watching for you and only you. It’s the reason I’ve been watching for the last 8 years and counting. No matter the subject, I watch because of you. I will absolutely build your ego and say that seeing someone so genuine and someone who is here to just do what they love cause they truly want to is the cornerstone of why I always keep coming back. Thank you. You inspire me everyday. I appreciate you. What a lovely surprise! Thank you for 300 likes! This community is amazing and im always glad to be apart of it! 😄

I feel like I shouldn't be watching this because this is like a personal therapy session and its like I'm eavesdropping

my dad passed away when I was a kid, and my mom has said the same thing about having the outpouring of community support right afterward, but then the anvil of loneliness just dropping on you after everyone else moves on. keep supporting your grieving loved ones. grief never goes away, it just becomes familiar.

Self awareness is a level of wisdom that goes so far beyond being “smart”. It requires a great deal of character strength in addition to a keen mind. We really need to value that more as humans, and nurture it in each other.

We need more people being so open about getting help. Watching this humanises streamers, celebrities etc and that's important so we can see that they go through all the daily crap that we do and they need time to heal just like us. His family and friends must be very proud of the man he is x

I was genuinely disgusted with all of the negative comments about Seán's father and his schedule. I was very disappointed with the negative perception of the time that he took off, but some of it was restored with the positive 'feedback' that was given.

“I think you were Jacksepticeye long before you created a KZfaq account.” What a statement.

Omg Dr. K thing about grief and ppl being there only at the beginning and missing them at random moments. So spot on. I lost my mom in 07, my dad in 13. I miss them sporadically. I hope you're doing ok, and that your family and friends can continue to support you. But man did that hit home.

just started the vid and im very worried about the fact that every comment is a whole paragraph

we stan a man who talks about his problems

What Dr K said about support in grief is so true. Past the first year I've felt like I'm not allowed to grieve. Even my own family makes me feel that way. So you just feel alone with this twisting, crushing emptiness.

The entire time he spoke about his early family life, I was getting choked up. It wasn't till I was almost 30 years old that my parents ever said they loved me or that they were proud of me. Something about having older parents hardens your heart because they've been through so much shit that they don't feel the need to console their children. I appreciate this video so much. Happy I've found this channel

I'm not sure what Jack's intentions were when he decided to put this out here, but I will say, it was oddly enjoyable? I like looking into the psychology behind things too, and it's also wild that a successful KZfaqr feels/used to feel a lot of the same things I do, an undergrad trying to get my first real job. Feels like there's always someone smarter, more qualified, more outspoken, but no one has even told me that. It's just me thinking that. At any rate, I hope we get a part 2

"Sounds like you learned how to be a character at quite a young age." 'I guess so, yeah' "And that you had to be a character to be noticed" 'Oh' I just want a compilation of Dr. K cracking people's whole fuckin worlds open

These types of videos are why I just subscribed. Not because of all of the videos of you striving to please the viewers, but you just being real, thinking and existing. I really appreciate the real talk. There's so much content out there, I appreciate when the content just sort of stops for a while, and people can talk about the things that matter. It's like stopping to take a deep breath.

You can hear the sadness in his voice, poor jack.

This reminds me of how great my last therapist was. Having someone not only analyze but repeat to you what you're really saying. It's so clarifying

I realised most of these comments is them talking about themselves and their experiences and I realised that people heard what you said but didn’t sit to process it. Sean, I hope you’re okay, I hope that you are at peace with where you are and you don’t feel any sort of emotional or mental pressure. I and lots of other people love what you do, you’re too sweet to everyone and I hate that you’ve had to go through such a hard part of your life with people who would disrespect you. You’re probably not gonna read it but I care for you and everyone who are in the comment section who have also went through such a hard life. I care for you people, I might not know you but I hope none of you are hurting

Sean I’m not kidding it was so nice hearing about you and your family. My brother is about 10 years older & I’m 20. My parents are retired and around 70 & 60...it’s so refreshing to know someone else had a hard time connecting due to age even though you don’t want that. Everything you explained I related to and understood..like the sentence you said about having to be the tension relief and make sure everyone else is okay in the family. Thanks for sharing so much.

I'm currently a student in psychology and have always been interested in exploring Buddhism. I've tampered with the idea of integrating it into study. I want to thank you and Dr. K. I've been trying to pay attention to energies directing me, so thank you for being the link. ❤

I have lost both my parents. My dad almost 23 years ago and my mom 7 years ago, both unexpectedly. There are still days I think of the both and still cry. Time doesn’t heal the wounds but helps make them easier to deal with. Thanks for sharing. Stay positive and we love you Sean.

"what is stan culture?" Me: oh no, here we go.

The dislikes are just people who need a hug to feel better about themselves.

that stuff about his experience being the youngest really struck a chord in my heartstrings, i really felt it

The sheer amount of comments just pouring themselves out makes this such a cozy and positive place. This video was really needed by some people, but still, the pinned comment speaks for itself.

It made me nauseous when I saw that people were making fun of his Dads passing. I cannot believe that there are people on this earth that could be so awful. It honestly makes me really sad. Neither Sean or his Dad deserve that❤️ (Sorry for my bad grammar)

Jack it has been a rough time. And hearing somebody’s story is calming. And im sure this helped a lot of people hearing your story. Much love

Thanks for making this available. Lotta people can't afford therapy and left the religions, etc, that have their own goals in processing these things. Lot of us listening in and working through our own stuff with this.

I know the feeling of being with a therapist and doing all these mental gymnastics and working out core root problems and answers of your own psyche and at the end of it just feeling completely drained of all energy. PS this was so interesting and I've always been interested in what's behind influencers minds and always hoped there would one day be this sort of in depth analysis of the psychology of an influencer. PSPS Sean is really brave to publicly analyse such a personal topic. Not just his fathers passing, but roots and causes of his own (for lack of a better fraise) 'Deep shit'.

jack: I wanna take time off also jack: *uploads his therapy session for us to know what's happening* he cares so much about us and doesn't want us to worry

I honestly admire how positive Jack remains no matter what he’s going through. Power to ya man

this is a very comfortable thing to watch, it’s nice to know even seán is willing to be open and talk about his own issues. it is a good way of reminding people he is just as human as everyone else. i’ll always have great respect for him because of this.

This was really interesting to listen to. As someone that tries to self reflect and figure out where my problems come from. It's interesting to watch someone else dig into their issues and thoughts

Just listening to this is therapy enough for me.😊Only 30, and has changed so much in such little time. Im 14 and glad I’m growing up watching you its helped me alot!!

For everyone who's skeptical about therapy this is exactly what it is

Dr. K mentioning that he would have liked more support throughout that decade after losing his father hit home with me. Lost my father when I was 9. Now at 25 I find myself on the most random of days wishing I had a father to talk to about anything. What kills me are all the unanswered questions I have that only a father could give his son. I dealt with his death at 9 not really knowing what the hell was going on and eventually the pain got easier. After high school and college is when it picked up again. Long story short the grief I dealt with at 9 is very different than the grief I feel today. Loss is a very strange yet consistent thing in our lives. Don't know why I shared this, I just felt compelled to start typing. Much love to all those out there dealing with the loss of someone.

Why do people think it’s okay to treat people online who have a following like an object just stop! He’s human just like us and don’t you dare say well it’s his job it’s not his job to put up with your abuse or any influencer for that. Just be mindful

Jack saying he started from a scientific point of view, now doing more spiritual stuff... That's literally me. Thanks for sharing so openly. I feel less lost and alone now

This is heavy, but very much needed and appreciated. This does not fall on deaf ears.

i'm subscribed to jack since he was just starting his career and living in a wooden house and never once i saw negativity or toxicity in him, he is legit one of the most genuine person out there.

Dr. K is literally my role model in my road to become a Clinical Psychologist. Glad to hear you open up, Jack! We're all here for you

This is REALLY nice to watch! I missed these moments of you opening up, Sean! Love you, man! Really like you, as a person, for being genuine in this online environment and, well, wherever you express yourself! That is how everyone should be...I also want to let you know that, on an emotional and mental health level, you've always been an inspiration and of great help to me (and probably many others, but I am talking for myself and how much of an impact you had on me here). Thanks, keep it up and...take care of yourself! ^_^

this was so great to listen to. it's so interesting to hear him have thought he was "standing on the shoulders of Giants" when I've always considered Jacksepticeye to be one of those giants. it's comforting to know that you've grown more comfortable and confident in yourself and I can't wait until I'm there! this vid also caused me to do some own self reflection and also inspired me to return to therapy because I knows there's stuff i'd like to talk through. thank you Jack for being open and vulnerable with Dr K, and in turn with us!

The self awareness Sean shows he has developed here is incredible. He should be so proud of how much he has grown as a person in a world that is so different to all of ours. Many of us struggle in our average lives, but to manage the "streamer life" and the juggling of identities is such a challenge that he has done so well to cope with for an extraordinary time. I hope he continues to realise that our opinions (even my own) don't matter, that he does belong and that his responses to situations are his own to control and noone else's. This is Sean's story and the more he focuses on his success and amazing journey and the less he compares to others, the stronger he's going to become. So happy to hear you have so much support from people in your personal life and I believe you've got what it takes to overcome these challenges
