Summary

Fair warning, a focal point of this episode is suicide. Talking points: therapy, self-help, masculinity More men than ever are actively seeking help. They're going to therapy, they're working on themselves, they're doing "the work". I know because they come to me and people I know—either in the coaching or the therapeutic industry—by the thousands. And yet a significant percentage of them don't come out it "helped". Many don't come out at all. To be clear, I am NOT saying therapy as an industry is totally broken or something to ignore. But there ARE some things I think it could do better. (00:00:00) - Intro and some statistics(00:04:47) - What I’ve seen and heard from men who come to ManTalks live events(00:05:40) - I’m not saying the therapeutic industry is broken(00:07:06) - We have to acknowledge that there are differences in men’s and women’s experiences(00:09:25) - The three things the industry underestimates or misses with men(00:11:43) - I’ve known a lot of men who looked great on the surface(00:13:27) - Many of us don’t know how to help men get their direction back This episode is brought to you by Cured Nutrition!
