Summary
Men and women communicate differently. Shock! Horror! You heard it here first.
In this episode Hamish and Vic have an honest and open conversation behind what might be causing men to struggle when it comes to opening up emotionally.
It is no secret that vulnerabilities are still considered a weakness rather than a strength by many and this might be the reason behind so many men turning to alcohol as a means of opening up or numbing out their feelings.
The effects of this on men's mental health and suicide rates are terrifying. How can we help each other through these times and re-consider the way we approach these difficult conversations?
Listen and find out!
