Today on "Vulnerability is the New Sexy," therapist Joe Corley closely examines the complex topic of emotional suppression among Black men. Societal expectations and cultural stigmas often prevent these men from seeking help and expressing vulnerability. Research indicates that men face significant challenges related to emotional expression. Studies show that societal norms frequently discourage men from displaying emotions, which can lead to higher rates of mental health issues among those who suppress their feelings.
Does society look down on emotionally expressive men? Many men report feeling judged or less masculine when they show vulnerability, deterring them from seeking help.
Is the prevalence of online toxic masculinity making it more difficult for men today? The pressure to conform to traditional masculine ideals can lead to emotional isolation and hinder open discussions about mental health.
We would love to hear your thoughts and comments on this important topic, so join therapist Joe Corley and his guests for this episode of "Vulnerability is the New Sexy."
