Felix "xQc" Lengyel has revealed that Twitch forces streamers to attend therapy sessions as part of the process for getting unbanned from the platform. 

xQc is a controversial streamer who first got attention for being toxic in the Overwatch League. He later decided to switch to streaming full time, where he has continuously been in the spotlight for his troll-like antics in and out of game and his strong opinions about other streamers. His behavior has often led to suspensions from Twitch, including one time when he was banned for the second time back in June 2020. 

Back in June of 2020, xQc was banned for showing a clip of two gorillas going to pound town. xQc had opened the clip from a fan without knowing what the video contained. When he saw it was sexual in nature, xQc exited out. But it was too late and xQc received a 24-hour ban from Twitch for the raunchy display. 

What nobody knew, however, is that xQc had been forced to attend "streamer therapy" after that second suspension — and Head of Twitch Community Productions Marcus "dJWHEAT" Graham was his therapist. 

Said xQc in a recent stream: “Back in the day when I got banned, Twitch said that a part of me being unbanned... I had to get like a streamer therapy type of thing. I had to agree to one session, or a couple of sessions, of streamer reform therapy. I’m not even kidding.”

During the therapy session, djWHEAT asked xQc why he believed he was banned. The "discussion" included djWHEAT asking if xQc knew if what he did was bad and why. The hour-and-a-half session felt like a "streamer anonymous" thing to him. 

Apparently, the therapy session didn't work too well on xQc. He was banned a total of five times, including three more times after the streamer therapy session with djWHEAT. This included stream sniping and sharing the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. It's unclear if xQc had to attend the streamer therapy after any of these incidents. 

No other streamers have opened up about streamer therapy. It's unclear if this is a requirement for all streamers or if this was a special case due to xQc's popularity on the platform. Since djWHEAT is not a licensed therapist, the session was more likely about Twitch's Terms and Services rather than xQc's mental state or reasons behind his on-stream behavior, although the full details of the session are still unclear.
