I think men and black men oftentimes have a difficult time asking for help.

They see asking for help as a weakness.

And it's actually just the opposite.

It's such a huge strength.

When you have unresolved trauma, you're triggered by things that your partner don't even realize it's triggering to you.

A lot of us don't even appreciate the here and now because we're always there. We can't even be present with our significant other. All right, y'all. We are back with another episode. I'm very, very excited about this episode. I think there's some good energy in the room. I'm a big energy guy, so I notice it'll be a good episode. We have a great guest, but before we get into the guests, I just want to say a few things to the people that are supporting us.

So with that being said, we're here with Dr. Rose.

Dr. Rose, can you please tell the people, first of all, how you are, what it is that you do before we get into content?

Yeah, well, I am a clinical psychologist. You know, that's a loaded question because I ask my patients that all the time.

I know. And I typically don't want them to follow it up with what they do. But I know for the sake of the show, we have to start that way.

So I'm a clinical psychologist, fully licensed. This is my 27th year of practice.

27 years. Listen, no. Listen. You're too young to know about Dewee Hauser, but, you know, I was that type of prodigy.

No, I'm just... No, listen, I was just about to tell you, like, bro, when you, when you, when you first said that you did, this is your 27th year, I was like, how? How? How? Because honestly, look, Dr. Rose. You know how they'd be like, black don't crack?
