n this episode, we challenge the conventional narrative that masculinity is the root of men’s mental health struggles. Drawing from the article “Redefining Men’s Mental Health Approaches” by John Barry, we explore why many well-intentioned interventions fall shortת and how shifting the focus can lead to more effective support.
Using a compelling marine biology analogy, Barry makes the case for four key ideas: masculinity isn’t the core problem, current research needs a new and less biased direction, masculinity can be a strength, and truly male-centred approaches are essential for meaningful therapy.
This episode was created with NotebookLM and calls for a smarter, more compassionate way to support men’s mental health—one that moves beyond blame and toward real understanding.
