Amouranth tears up in emotional chat with psychiatrist Dr. K on Twitch Twitch: AmouranthPopular Twitch streamer Amouranth got emotional in a chat with streamer psychiatrist Dr. K when discussing the strain of streaming as an occupation, and the difficulty of taking care of her offline self. Amouranth, real name Kaitlyn Siragusa, is a streamer with over 1.5 million followers. While her career has boomed, skyrocketing to become one of the most popular creators on the platform, she has also undergone her fair share of trials. She received her third Twitch ban in May 2020, which increased scrutiny on her once again. This followed on from her gym stream ban earlier in March, and her September 2019 ban for a wardrobe malfunction on stream. Inevitably the pressure of streaming as a job culminates in a huge level of stress, particularly for anxious personalities. Here\u2019s where Dr. K comes in. Psychiatrist Dr. Alok Kanojia, HealthyGamer_GG on Twitch, is known for providing conversations with streamers, and has become popular on the platform. He received attention following streams such as his discussion with Mizkif, where they talked about his struggles with ADHD and how that affected him in his daily life. Topic starts at 2:05:00 In Dr. K\u2019s discussion with Amouranth, he talked about how she is putting her internet personality first instead of caring for her real self, Kaitlyn. \u201cYou\u2019ve lost touch with yourself,\u201d he said. Amouranth discussed the pressure of the workload, and how many creators probably feel the same way. \u201cThe grind is like, taking away part of what made them \u2018them\u2019 before social media.\u201d She also said \u201cit sucks that, like, I\u2019m losing myself.\u201d Dr. K touched on the difficult relationship between the audience and the creator, and the problems that arise in setting boundaries. \u201cThe internet loves when content creators don\u2019t get to be human.\u201d He described her as \u201ca normal wonderful person who has had life, social media, and streaming get to them, because that\u2019s what it does.\u201d Dr. K\u2019s approach of discussing streamer\u2019s insecurities and fears with them publicly is his way of breaking down the often toxic wall between audiences and online personalities, and it certainly seems to have struck a chord with Amouranth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
