In this impactful episode of Thursday Therapy, Tyreese opens an honest and necessary conversation about men’s mental health — a topic too often overlooked, minimized, or silenced. The discussion centers on the emotional pressure men carry, the stigma surrounding vulnerability, and the consequences of being taught to suppress rather than express.

This episode highlights how unaddressed stress, trauma, and emotional isolation can affect men’s relationships, leadership, health, and sense of identity. Tyreese emphasizes the importance of creating safe spaces where men can speak openly, seek support, and redefine strength in healthier, more sustainable ways.

Through candid dialogue and community-centered reflection, the episode challenges outdated narratives around masculinity and encourages men to prioritize their mental and emotional well-being without shame.

Key Themes Include:

• The stigma surrounding men and mental health
• Why emotional suppression is often mistaken for strength
• The impact of stress, trauma, and silence on men’s well-being
• Creating safe spaces for honest conversation and healing
• The role of community, accountability, and support systems

This episode serves as a reminder that mental health has no gender, and healing begins when men are given — and give themselves — permission to be seen, heard, and supported.

Tune in for insight, encouragement, and a powerful call to normalize mental health conversations for men everywhere.
