Good morning all - my latest Substack article for this week on how anxiety often manifests itself as anger. If you can understand your process of automatic responses, it can go a long way towards adjusting how you react to things.

When most people picture anxiety, they have a fairly predictable picture in mind.

My latest Substack article focuses on exactly what I deal with often - men getting into therapy. There's a stigma behind it that can't be ignored. If any of this resonates with you, I invite you to reach out to a qualified mental health professional. Psychology Today is a good start.

There is a particular conversation I have had in one form or another with many men over my years in practice.

One of the problems with talking about po*******hy is that the conversation almost immediately becomes moral. Like “Porn is bad!” or “Porn is harmless!”

But those arguments can distract us from a better question:
What effect is po*******hy actually having on your life?

Is it affecting your relationships? Your s*x life? Your mood? Your ability to connect with your spouse or partner? Or is it something you occasionally consume without any meaningful negative consequences?

So maybe the question isn't whether po*******hy is inherently “good” or “bad.” Maybe the better question is whether your relationship with it is healthy?

I took a deeper look at that question in my latest article. I hope you enjoy it.

And it’s all you’ve done for a long time.Maybe you have coworkers or even a partner. Maybe you're even surrounded by people. Yet somehow you still feel alone. If this i...
