  • EP 197 How We Crush Men's Soft Side with Dr. Gloria Vanderhorst

    In this powerful episode of The Stroke It Podcast, host Jenny Townsend welcomes Dr. Gloria Vanderhorst, an experienced clinical psychologist, speaker, and author, who brings decades of wisdom on parenting, relationships, and emotional healing.

    Dr. Gloria takes a deep dive into how cultural norms have shaped boys to suppress emotions, teaching them to be tough instead of tender. While once seen as survival skills, these outdated expectations are now harming marriages, fatherhood, and children’s development. 💔

    Drawing from her impactful books “Read, Reflect, Respond: The Three R’s of Growth and Change” and “How Not to F-Up Being a Father”, she shares practical tools for parents and partners to:
     ✅ Encourage boys to express the full range of emotions
     ✅ Replace “stop crying” with validation and compassion
     ✅ Strengthen marriages through emotional intimacy and self-awareness
     ✅ Use journaling and creative methods as healing practices
     ✅ Break harmful generational cycles of emotional suppression

    Listeners will hear thought-provoking insights on how fathers influence emotional growth, why emotional intelligence starts in infancy, and how men can reclaim the tenderness that society has denied them. Dr. Gloria also introduces the “empty chair” method, a therapeutic practice to process unresolved emotions, and explains why teaching children early to feel safe expressing themselves is essential for lifelong mental health.

    ✨ Whether you’re a parent, leader, or spouse, this episode is packed with life-changing lessons to help you build stronger families, healthier relationships, and a more emotionally aware future.
