In this episode of the Mr. Therapist Podcast, Manny Romero discusses the importance of mental health and personal growth for men, especially in the context of relationships. He emphasizes that while this podcast provides insights, it is not a substitute for professional therapy.

The conversation explores the complexities of conflict in relationships, focusing on the root issues that often drive repeated arguments—such as feeling misunderstood, disrespected, or neglected. Manny introduces active listening as a powerful tool for breaking these cycles and creating healthier communication.

What is Active Listening?
Active listening means putting aside your own agenda to truly understand your partner’s perspective. It involves:

• Putting your stuff aside and giving undivided attention

• Saying things like “Tell me more,” “What else?” “Tell me everything”

• Rephrasing what they said and asking if that’s what they meant (seeking to understand)

• Summarizing their point of view and perspective

• Apologizing for not understanding or for the pain you caused

• Asking for feedback: “What can I do differently next time?”

Notice—nowhere in this process are your own issues, complaints, or emotions front and center. That doesn’t mean they won’t ever be addressed, but the first step is to create a safe space where your partner feels heard.

By practicing active listening, couples can shift the dynamics of their arguments, build emotional awareness, and work toward resolution rather than repetition.
