I am someone who went through childhood trauma, sexual and physical abuse as an adult and now on the mend and want to heal and be better. Have been at a loss on how to even start or where. Ran across you and have never been so thankful. I as a child also wanted to be a pastor. My love for God is what has always gotten me through it all
"it's cool to see the ideas that saved my life save other people's lives." You have such an incredible way you articulate yourself. Thank you for all the content you post ❤️
You’ve earned a follow from me! Found you on tik tok doing exacly what you’ve exposed me for doing - being scared of being alone with my own thoughts. But I have never been so inspired and encouraged. Watching all of your vids and loving them. Thank you for doing what your doing for nothing more then to help others.
Your voice... The way you communicate and tell your stories... It is unique and it is special. Thank you for taking the time to do what you do, you make a huge difference.
Hi Matthias - thank you for what you are doing. You have a true talent for counseling and a kind and emotive delivery that shows you are genuine. I found you on Tik Tok a couple of weeks ago and am always thrilled when one of your posts shows up. I’m looking forward to going back through your Instagram posts. What you are doing is good and important at this time for so many folks. Thank you.
It’s funny. I was telling my wife how the only time I’ve heard someone speak with such emotional weight was in the church. It makes sense now, knowing your background a bit, where you learned that style of communication. We’ve had our own falling out story, since. As far as I’m concerned, there isn’t anyone more deserving of the “Megaphone” of social media, than you and your work. Keep it up.
Bro you don’t even know at what time in my life I’m listening to this and how much hope you have just introduced to me when I really needed it. I just want to say thank you
Found you on my FYP on TikTok and I am so grateful I did! You’re such a gift and what you’re sharing (and how you communicate) is immensely helpful. Thanks so much for sharing.
I found you through tiktok! .... Your video on Avoiding the argument to keep safe video really challenged me. Thank you, and thank you for sharing your story! I can relate to this so much but I trained to be a children's pastor. I stepped away from the church as a whole in the end (over 15 year journey) and haven't looked back.
I actually found your videos on tiktok- and boy I am not exaggerating when I say they have really moved me taught me, and made me think about so many things. I love the emphatic approach you take and you do such a wonderful job of explaining things. I’m really glad I found your channel here to watch more in depth videos you produce. Thank you for the good work!
God is using you! I was feeling lost and was having a very hard week. I kept stumbling upon your videos on tik tok and I can't tell you how much you have helped me see that I need my relationship back with God. My story is long. Thank you for making these videos and being so vulnerable so we can see God through you.
Thanks for sharing dude. It means a lot, and encourages me in my Faith. I appreciate you, you may not know it but your videos have helped me through a really hard time in my life.
I found you on Tik Tok. Every time you post a video... I feel like you are giving me a big warm hug. I have been going to therapy and working on EMDR. I finally feel like I am slowly healing but I just wanted to let you know that you make me feel like I'm not alone and that I matter and for that... I thank you. 💗
Found you on tic toc then looked on you tube and found your channel and find you just amazingly helpful you chose the right path ...I've been lucky and have had some of the best therapists the field could offer I like sticking with the PhD degrees even forensic ones and your videos I found to be very clear and relatable you stay the course you are divine gifted I believe and local I love that, im just in cda so I hope you continue in these videos and tic toc congrats on your baby girl happy for you and your beautiful wife and wish you all the best and thank you for all the help that reaches alot of people!
I understand that you may not see this, but I found you on Tiktok 20 minutes ago. I didn't look at your number of likes or subscribers, I felt your honest demeanor and sincerity through your content and immediately found your CZcams and just finished watching this video. How very refreshing a content creator you are. I, now, am also here for it! 🙌🏻
I’m so grateful I have found your content and be a part of the journey. You are helping me so much. Appreciate your vulnerability and beautiful heart. Full of wisdom.
I would love to know what Jordan Peterson series you were referring to. I'm going through a similar crisis of faith, finishing up my BA in Psych, but realizing that maybe I can't help anyone because..I don't know that I have anything to give. Your videos are very comforting. Thank you for making them.
Thanks for being so vulnerable and sharing your journey. I’ve been wanting to do something similar for almost 3 years now....posting everyday and sharing my thoughts on entrepreneurship and faith. For some reason I can’t seem to pull the trigger. It’s easy to say I’m busy but it’s got to be fear at bottom. You are an inspiration though maybe I can pull it together and just do it
This is your knack, your jam, your plan that was meant to be. Stay with it 100000% until you once again need to change for yourself. Until then I love your work, words, energy etc. Thank you!
Thank You much for sharing your story, I find myself relating to so many topics you discuss. Especially you “falling out” with the church...among others. Thank you again sir.
I appreciate you sharing your story. I really enjoy your content and also your soul around you know sharing even if others aren't here. Believing in be use of sharing your stories and learnings ❤
New subscriber! It’s comforting to watch your videos. I feel like I’m in an actual therapy session, which feels great since I’m not accessible to one at the moment . Thank you for all you do❤️
I just want to say thank you for your work. Your words are powerful, the way you address difficult conversations is meaningful and your heart is evidently so full of the Spirit.
I want to thank you for all of you videos/ insights on psychological meaning of peoples actions. I always had an interest in learning about it why do we do the thing, and what contributes to it. You have opened the gateways for me to explore this even further.
What great things God has done. I also went through some very similar things and am so thankful to hear it all put into words. I would love nothing more than to sit down with you and your amazing wife as a friend and just chat. Keep on brother.... In Him we have Life ~ Becky
My friend shared your tiktok at a very opportune time. Im so happy I found your youtube channel. Im an aspiring psychotherapist. I hope to be as inspiring as you one day. Especially in my country where there is so much stigma. You are a light in all this darkness, Sir. Congratulations to you and your wife!
I could listen to you talk for hours about absolutely nothing and I think I would still end up crying. I dont know what it is about you, you're so....warm to me. I dont know what it is but.....just....thank you.
It would be truly amazing if you made a sleep therapy video I've been listening to these before bed lately and I just think you would be able to make really great some you just have the right voice and wisdom.
Hi man. I am 25 years old. And it feels that my life is falling apart in my religion in my work and everything, BUT listing to you and really open up my ears to know what you are saying make things every day better little by little. Just wanted to say thanks for that. Realy.
Hey Matthias! I am from Germany and found your CZcams account through one of your tiktoks - and you caught me with your calming voice and your sympathy☺️ would you ever consider doing asmr? Doesn’t even have to be some extreme asmr version, but just a video in which you talk a bit slower and more quiet so one could fall asleep to even easier than now. I would love to fall asleep to your voice because your presence through my phone screen makes me feel very comfortable, keep up the good work !
Thanks for the introduction. It was great getting to know you more. I forget when I started to follow you on tik tok, but thank you for joining the platform. I love all of your videos. Your voice and the music make it really pop and always relaxes me. IF you want to get on another social platform that similar to tik tok, it's Clapper. I feel like you may calm some people down over there. haha
Found your stuff through your series with Ben, my student teacher for band when I was in high school. Your work has really helped me with forging my own identity and story and I’m so grateful for the work you’re doing! Definitely gonna try to make it to the Q&A.
I'm here from tt, I'm drawn to you and what you say (not in a weird way) I'm dealing with the death of my brother, his name is Randy, he was my best friend the best brother a girl could have. He died in March from cancer. I can't imagine what my life is gonna be without him, I don't know how to be happy now. I have a wonderful husband and 3 grown children. Its like my heart is broke and will never heal. I don't know what to do. (I would never do anything to disappear) I'm just lost. I'm not religious but I am very spiritual.
You are the first professional that i can connect with. Don’t stop. I believe my daughter that has childhood trauma and she is 16 needs you. Besides sexual, she also has separation trauma. She needs u
What an honest beautiful account of your story. Your very testimony is touching everyone who watched this video. Also, not everyone agrees with Jordan Peterson's philosophy but a lot of what he says is powerful on-your-face life stuff you can't deny. I'm impressed that you were open enough to get out of your comfort zone, especially with your religious background. I applaud you. Keep up the good work! :o)
One of your vids speaks to how we don’t get to tell a person how to love us but rather see how they love and choose if we want to participate. I’ve been looking for it -Which video is that in?
I’m not a person who comments at all but i followed you here from Tik Tok. I am going through a similar struggle with life and where I’m going right now. I have found refugee in your videos thoughts ideas and reflections. I want to say I appreciate everything that you are doing and I am very thankful i found you in such a tough time in my life. Please keep doing what your doing.
Could you pleaseeeeee start a podcast!! I would listen everyday! Even if the audio from CZcams was just in an audio form I would listen much more often!!
I knew there was something I liked about you. Good family man, Godly man and you look like a softer, nicer Jack Black. (I respect Jack Black’s talent) Congratulations on your new little one! Don’t be mad at God. Man/men mess everything up. As you live and learn you’ll understand more. Jesus does love you! (I’m 65 - have spent a lot of time studying all of it.). Jordan is amazing! Check out Trey Smith too. He goes very deep.
It's so great to hear that you were able to get past your bias to listen to Peterson. There's so much good that can come of people open themselves up to new info. Really happy to hear he could help you.
Take a listen to the podcast Behind the Bastards on Jordan Peterson. Love to hear your thoughts on the type of person he is after an exhaustively researched discussion about him.
Hey I know this is a long shot, but I've had a struggle with alot of things you've talked about. It just gets worse and worse and it feels like I don't know what to do anymore. I lost all faith in therapists but you seem like someone I might put faith into. If ur open to talk and get a new person via Zoom please please message me
Hmmm so you experienced that lonely space too huh that void emptiness a space I I feel as though you are trapped in limbo where life, perception, the universe reality and existence itself send fogged it's such a complex feeling vibration zone to be in it's almost unbearable I don't blame you for feeling that way or even thinking of ending it all.
Excuse me while I go watch ever video you’ve ever posted. If you’d be willing to share, I’d love to know more about what allowed you to feel grounded after being disillusioned with church and the Bible.
So I love Jordan Peterson! Most don’t people don’t lol. It’s interesting to me how many peoples belief in Christ is so rooted in there church and the experience they had, then were it should be which is the text and in The story of Jesus and his call on his believers to be like him! The Gospel should shape the church, and yet we let our experiences in the church how we live out the gospel. Thank you for sharing your story and I’m looking forward to watching more!
Do you incorporate religion into your psychological work? Because my dad is also a psychologist and he says that because he incorporates religion and God into a lot of his work and that is where he has found a lot of answers that he could not have previously found
Bro I can't even tell you how much you're helping my metal health rn.
I second that
Man your voice is so calming it makes me feel relaxed and okay
Yes I agree ❤
I agree!! Would love to hear meditations by him!! Hes so soothing to listen too❤
Matthias, this isn’t an introduction, this is a testimony. So happy to have found you.
I am someone who went through childhood trauma, sexual and physical abuse as an adult and now on the mend and want to heal and be better. Have been at a loss on how to even start or where. Ran across you and have never been so thankful. I as a child also wanted to be a pastor. My love for God is what has always gotten me through it all
Raw, honest, vulnerable and extremely relatable which is why people are happy to engage.
"it's cool to see the ideas that saved my life save other people's lives." You have such an incredible way you articulate yourself. Thank you for all the content you post ❤️
You’ve earned a follow from me! Found you on tik tok doing exacly what you’ve exposed me for doing - being scared of being alone with my own thoughts. But I have never been so inspired and encouraged. Watching all of your vids and loving them. Thank you for doing what your doing for nothing more then to help others.

Wow this is what it’s like to have a healthy mental state. One can dream.
PS Found you on TikTok

Thank you so much for sharing Rodney!! So glad to have connected with you
@@MatthiasJBarker I really appreciate your reply. I’m very grateful also. Congratulations to you and your wife on your expected daughter.!
Your live was on my birthday 😌
Found you thru tik tok. Good stuff.
Could you pleaseeeeee start a podcast!! I would listen everyday! Even if the audio from CZcams was just in an audio form I would listen much more often!!
Awesome! I'll be there! What if we don't treaties Twitter?
Aww 🥰😍
I knew there was something I liked about you. Good family man, Godly man and you look like a softer, nicer Jack Black. (I respect Jack Black’s talent) Congratulations on your new little one! Don’t be mad at God.
Man/men mess everything up. As you live and learn you’ll understand more. Jesus does love you! (I’m 65 - have spent a lot of time studying all of it.). Jordan is amazing! Check out Trey Smith too. He goes very deep.
I’m so happy you’re here
Pleasee make a podcast! I NEED to hear what you have to say
Can you make a video of your journey to be a psychotherapist? Pls 🥺
I can understand 😩
Question do you do online counseling?
It's so great to hear that you were able to get past your bias to listen to Peterson. There's so much good that can come of people open themselves up to new info. Really happy to hear he could help you.
Take a listen to the podcast Behind the Bastards on Jordan Peterson. Love to hear your thoughts on the type of person he is after an exhaustively researched discussion about him.
Hey I know this is a long shot, but I've had a struggle with alot of things you've talked about. It just gets worse and worse and it feels like I don't know what to do anymore. I lost all faith in therapists but you seem like someone I might put faith into. If ur open to talk and get a new person via Zoom please please message me
I love Jordan Peterson! He's so helpful!!!
Can you please make into podcast so I can listen without video?
Hmmm so you experienced that lonely space too huh that void emptiness a space I I feel as though you are trapped in limbo where life, perception, the universe reality and existence itself send fogged it's such a complex feeling vibration zone to be in it's almost unbearable I don't blame you for feeling that way or even thinking of ending it all.
Could you talk more about Christianity and what it means to be a Godly man in every aspect of life
Excuse me while I go watch ever video you’ve ever posted. If you’d be willing to share, I’d love to know more about what allowed you to feel grounded after being disillusioned with church and the Bible.
Betrayal in Church not uncommon
So I love Jordan Peterson! Most don’t people don’t lol. It’s interesting to me how many peoples belief in Christ is so rooted in there church and the experience they had, then were it should be which is the text and in The story of Jesus and his call on his believers to be like him! The Gospel should shape the church, and yet we let our experiences in the church how we live out the gospel. Thank you for sharing your story and I’m looking forward to watching more!
But at the end of the day, are you born again? Did you return to the church and Christianity?
Do you still consider yourself a Christian?
Do you incorporate religion into your psychological work? Because my dad is also a psychologist and he says that because he incorporates religion and God into a lot of his work and that is where he has found a lot of answers that he could not have previously found
Thank you for sharing your story, it was really nice to hear it. You’re awesome!
