But to your point, those feelings are subdued because of societal influences, family influence, social media, and so, as a result, what you have is other emotions that are seen as more acceptable coming up in those moments, which is the reason why you see anger and irritability being so prevalent amongst men, when, at the core, it's truly sadness that individuals were not given permission to be able to express.
Ever wondered how societal expectations shape men's mental health? In this thought-provoking episode of Elevated Voices, host Dysheka Bibbs, a seasoned therapist, sits down with Dr. Romero Huffstead, a counseling psychologist with a wealth of experience. Together, they tackle the heavy topic of toxic masculinity and its impact on mental health. Dr. Huffstead shares his extensive research on mental health crises, particularly within the black community, shedding light on the alarming suicide rates and the pressing need for change.
They discuss how traditional gender roles and cultural norms contribute to emotional suppression and how this can lead to issues like anger and irritability. Dr. Huffstead emphasizes the importance of creating safe spaces where men can express their emotions without fear of judgment. He also highlights the critical role therapists play in prioritizing their own mental health to better support their clients.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of mental health and the barriers that prevent men from seeking help. Tune in to gain valuable insights and practical advice on breaking down these barriers and fostering a healthier emotional landscape.
