Summary

In this episode, we welcome therapist, writer, and podcast host Blake Blankenbecler into a powerful conversation about emotional language, body awareness, and the harm of emotional outsourcing. Blake unpacks why many men struggle to name their inner world and what it takes to reclaim curiosity, tenderness, and truth. Together, we talk about the nervous system, faith deconstruction, co-regulation, and why presence is the most healing thing we offer one another. This episode will meet you where you are and gently invite you further in.

Takeaways

“If I can’t be with it, I can’t heal it.” Naming precedes healing.
Outsourcing your emotions to others is common—but it can become harmful.
Co-regulation is foundational to emotional safety in relationships.
Curiosity helps us approach our pain instead of controlling it.
The nervous system needs safety to tell the truth.
You can’t think your way into healing—your body has to believe it too.
Presence is the most healing gift we can offer in a hurting world.
Emotionally safe men are formed, not found.
