The Psychiatrist's Waiting Room

Men and Shame


Listen Later

This episodes sees Georgia and her Dad, Psychiatrist Dr Nicholas Cassimatis, talking about the evolution of mental illness in Dr Cassimatis's 55 years experience working, and what have been the biggest changes he has seen in his time.

They then deep dive into the core issue of shame in men, unpacking the layers as to how and why a man can start presenting to a Psychiatrist with feelings of failure and shame, why this is not something to be taken lightly, and how to best treat this so the 'flick can be switched' and feelings of not being worthy are replaced with life being better with them in it. Also explored is the importance of the support network; a network Dr Cassimatis stresses to never underestimate. Dr Cassimatis also titillates with his own personal theory, an ethological explanation as to why men in this current day and age, feel shame. An interesting vignette!
