Why does emotional expression still feel out of reach for so many men?

When strength is defined by silence and caregiving by sacrifice, emotional safety becomes rare, especially in childhood. Boys grow up learning to perform rather than feel, and that impacts everyone they connect with later.

In Episode 35 of The Therapy Diariez, psychologist Sohini Rohra explores how both parents shape a child’s emotional world. From men mistaking providing for presence to using humour as a shield, she unpacks how emotional patterns are passed down and how, Gen Z and Gen Alpha could finally change the narrative.
