Why Men Need Therapy | Emotions, Masculinity & Mental Health
*Our 10-episode deep dive on relationships kicks off in episode 3, but this is where the Bro-ing Pains story begins. Keep listening*
In our very first episode, we pull back the curtain on masculinity and mental health: what we’ve unlearned, where we’ve healed, and why we started this podcast in the first place. From the outdated “man up” script to the quiet rise of men finally getting therapy, we share our own journeys and the cultural shifts reshaping what it means to be a man.
We even drop some eye-opening stats on how men are really doing (SPOILER: it’s rough out here) and why seeking support isn’t weak, it’s necessary.
