"Are the things you're doing the things that she wants?"
How can masculinity adapt to create emotional safety in relationships? That's the question Sheri and Matt Salis tackle in this engaging episode of the Untoxicated Podcast. The couple, who have been through the wringer with Matt's past alcoholism, delve into the concept of evolving masculine instincts to better support emotional safety in partnerships and families.
With their characteristic blend of humour and honesty, they explore what it means to be 100% emotionally safe rather than just 99%, highlighting how even a small amount of emotional insecurity can be damaging. Sheri and Matt don't shy away from personal anecdotes, sharing moments from their own lives to illustrate their points. Whether it's a conversation about the history of peculiar phrases or the challenges of understanding complex psychological concepts like attachment styles, they keep things light-hearted yet meaningful.
They also discuss their 'Ask Laura' segment, where listeners can send in questions for licensed clinical social worker Laura Hammack, offering a unique opportunity for free therapy. This episode is perfect for anyone interested in the nuances of emotional maturity and how traditional masculine roles can evolve to foster healthier relationships.
If you've ever wondered how emotional safety can be achieved or why it's crucial for relationship success, this episode provides a fresh perspective with plenty of laughs along the way. So, are you ready to rethink what it means to be truly supportive in your relationships?
