Hey guys, Welcome to the Unshakable Man Podcast: A show and community for men who want to be their best emotional, mental, physical and spiritual versions of themselves. Today’s show is in the category of emotional wellness.

Tom Paulus is a clinical psychologist in North County San Diego. Tom is a personalist and a realist, meaning he has a high view of people and for how little control we have over life. He values honesty, compassion, free will, and unconditional regard for the dignity and healing potential in every person.  

Tom is an ISTDP therapist (Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy) who has experience partnering with people on a number of problems, including resistance to emotional closeness, high anxiety, medically unexplained physical symptoms, and treatment-resistant depression, etc. He also sees couples for relationship help and families for consultation on addiction, enabling, and mental health concerns.  

In this episode, we explore psychotherapy and what happens when men resist opening up to other people. We talk about how this impacts our relationships and what we can do to help men in our lives open up. Lastly, we talk about guilt and how it can help us connect more deeply with ourselves and other people.
