We explore the concept of the shadow — the hidden parts of ourselves we’ve learned to push away. As a therapist who works specifically with men, I share how shame, emotional numbing, and the loss of connection to other men can create an unseen crisis.

We will unpack what the shadow is, how it develops, and how it shows up in men’s lives today. We will also talk about emotional intelligence, the importance of grief, and how healing begins when we connect — to ourselves, to each other, and to community. If you have ever felt stuck, numb, angry, or disconnected, this conversation is for you.
