Russ explains the importance of therapy in an exclusive interview with Men's Health

Last month, the 32-year-old rapper sat down for an exclusive interview with Men's Health magazine to discuss the importance of mental health and the impact of therapy on his relationships.

The Santiago rapper was seen discussing the couple's therapy since he didn't want to "lose [his] relationship," stating:

"It opened the door to me being receptive to therapy, talking with someone, looking at myself, being honest with myself, and having the humility to be wrong. In a beautiful, romantic way, love was my introduction to therapy and inner work."

Russ explains seeking professional help from Dr. Nicole LePera, who connected him with someone whose primary occupation is "talking to successful men," explaining:

"I reached out to Dr. Nicole LePera who's just so great and smart. She connected me with someone whose focal point is talking to successful men. That was always a concern of mine: that my therapist wouldn't understand what I was going through when it came to fame. It’s been really helpful to have someone who understands. He’s such a great fit."

The rapper went on to explain how his 2023 album Santiago was created out of his "therapy exercises," citing that he treats music as an audio journal instead of actual therapy.

"I would always write a song. A lot of the music from the past two years, especially on my album Santiago, was created from therapy exercises," he stated.
