Young Thug Balks At The Idea Of Therapy, Says It ‘Can’t Heal Sh*t’

Young Thug recently made his stance clear on whether engaging in therapy could actually help confront trauma. According to an X (formerly Twitter) post he made on Saturday (Sept.27), therapy “can’t heal sh*t.” Following the post, Thug was met with an onslaught of criticism. “Talking to your boi ain’t therapy bro. Therapist doesn’t heal, they allow and give you tools to better handle your emotions, ” one person commented.

“Therapist don’t heal, they help you walk through to better understand and approach it in a way you might have not thought about,” another X user wrote. Whereas, another poster, who claimed to be a mental health professional, tried to offer Young Thug a different perspective. “Respectfully THUGGER, it’s not about what we can do but rather what YOU can do in that SPACE. it’s always up to the client to seek healing & change. We are only the guiding force to help you get there. P.s – don’t knock something you haven’t tried.”

Young Thug Claims He’d Feel ‘Less Of A Man’ If His Partner Sought Therapy

The rapper’s post came after an interview he did with The Pivot podcast. Throughout the discussion, they touched on mental health, masculinity, and interpersonal relationship struggles. In Thug’s opinion, he doesn’t see the value in seeking professional help during a mental health crisis. The “Hercules” rapper would rather lean on friends and family verses a stranger.

“My big sister, my big brother, my dad, my mom, my OGs… I listen to y’all,” he said. Thug—who’s been dating Mariah The Scientist for almost four years—made a shocking claim that he would feel “less of a man” if his partner sought out therapy. “It’s like damn, you’ll actually call somebody and listen to what they have to say over me? Instead of listen to what I’m telling you,” he said.
