Men Speaking Out

Men Speaking Out is a podcast where men can openly share their positives, problems, concerns, and secrets. All our podcast shows are done in an interview/round table format. Meaning, although we welcome guests that have a background in the subject matter of discussion, we also bring on guests that do not. This gives our audience multiple perspectives. Our goal is to create an environment that promotes healthy relationships, truthful expressions and honest conversations for men.

Episode 94

MSO spoke with Dr. Jeremy Thompson, a family practitioner specializing in cognitive, narrative, and solution-based therapies. As the author of UNDERSTAND YOUR TRUE IDENTITY: Discover the Real You and Enjoy Healthier Relationships (Morgan James Publishing, January 6, 2026), he explores how modern mental health language shapes our understanding of ourselves. Dr. Thompson introduces the concept of "The Diagnosis Generation," highlighting the trend of adopting psychological labels as personal identity and the effects this has on self-perception. He explains that today, mental-health terminology and self-diagnosis are widespread, leading people to define themselves by conditions rather than experiences. Through his Positive-Centered approach, Dr. Thompson helps individuals separate their core self from learned behaviors, enabling a healthier and lasting change.
