Guys Dealings with Feelings
For men who say "I'm fine" when they're not.
Guys Dealings With Feelings is a podcast about what men actually carry — anger, grief, shutdown, the things they don't say out loud. Aaron Gray, who lost his infant son Joel in 2012, hosts with his childhood friend Jason, a therapist with 18 years of clinical experience. One of them has lived it. The other knows the language.
Together they talk about identity, trauma, presence, being a man, and what it takes to feel anything again — without judgment or performative toughness.

The Invisible Weight of Trauma | What We Carry Without Knowing

In this episode of Guys Dealings With Feelings, Aaron and Jason explore the invisible weight of trauma — the unseen burden many men carry without realizing how deeply it affects their thoughts, bodies, relationships, and sense of self.
They discuss how trauma doesn’t always show up as dramatic memories or obvious symptoms, but instead as chronic tension, emotional numbness, hyper-responsibility, disconnection, or a constant feeling of pressure. Often, men adapt so well that the weight becomes normal — until it starts shaping identity, behavior, and burnout.
This conversation looks at how trauma lives in the nervous system, why “pushing through” often makes things worse, and how awareness and presence create space for real healing without forcing change.
Guys Dealings With Feelings is a podcast dedicated to helping men build emotional awareness, resilience, and a more honest relationship with themselves and the lives they’re living.
