G Herbo Was So Nervous During His First Therapy Session That He Cracked His ID In Half

G. Herbo's new album, PTSD, comes immediately following the rapper was clinically diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder and realized that he had serious mental health issues. His music often reflects on the turbulent situations that he had to go through growing up, so right now that he sees it in hindsight, he realizes just how much that his upbringing affected him. He sought out professional help in the form of therapy, and in a new interview with MTV News, he revealed that he was especially nervous on his beginning day — to the point that he cracked his ID in half.


"I think it was crucial for me converse with somebody who's never been by means of the stuff that you been through," G Herbo mentioned once asked about his choice to go to therapy. "Talking to my therapist, I was telling her certain stuff and she couldn't believe it. I was so nervous while in my first therapy session that I cracked my ID in half. She notified me, 'You have PTSD.'"


"I had to really, like, get naked with her in a sense," he continued. "Every day I left out the residence, I really felt like I was going to perish or just go to jail for protecting myself.  It's crucial just converse with somebody.  A lot of times, we'll block that intuition in the back of our head because we're desensitized by it and we think its usual. She was there to tell me, 'No, it's not normal.'"


After reflecting on why he had PTSD at a young age, and explaining that other kids who reside in rough environments do to, G Herbo suggests that schools should have therapists. "Schools should have somebody that's going to ask you 'How was your day?' Because a lot of those kids, they don't have a sense of family member, a sense of none of that at residence. As soon as they're in school, that's the only love that they're going to feel. Some days that the only meal. Some days that the only tidy, safe environment that they have. And it's only for eight hours out of the day."


Later in the interview, G Herbo also spoke about the legacy of late rapper Juice WRLD and his impact on their shared hometown. "Chicago never seen an artist like Juice — young and on top of the world, talented at that and reached this big level of stardom so fast," he mentioned. "He was great with dealing with the fame."
