Things Men Don't Say Out Loud (E408)

For years men have been told to stay strong, to keep it in, to don't show weakness, and now suddenly we're asking them to open up and wondering why they aren't. Well, today we are gonna open up because myself, Spencer Matthews, the host of Untapped, and Matt Willis, the host of On the Med, are gonna have a conversation that a lot of men are still not having. what you're actually feeling, why it's so hard to say things out loud, and how we can start to change it. This is part of the Say It Louder initiative, a partnership with BetterHelp across the next few months, bringing these kinds of conversations to light and making a real measurable difference to men's mental health. Let's get straight into it.

But I've been in therapy a lot in my life. Yeah, but I'm not right now at this moment. Similar to you, Matt, I've I've kind of had periods of my life where I've been in therapy, you know, like once a week for an hour, every week. Um, and uh I'm not right now, although I still have contact with my therapist.
