Hubris isn't confidence — it's protection. Protection from being seen as wrong, as needing, as human. This episode names what living inside that prison actually costs: the love you can't receive, the apology you can't reach, the people who've stopped knocking. Drawing on Brené Brown's research on...

Humility isn't weakness — it's accurate self-knowledge. Drawing on Brené Brown's Braving the Wilderness and Maya Angelou's "I belong to Maya," Mat explores the grounded middle between hubris and self-erasure. The bison doesn't charge and puff up. It doesn't hide in the herd. It just stands there ...

Wounds don't stay contained. They leak into our closest relationships — through the shutdown during conflict, the need for control, the difficulty receiving love. This is not a marriage advice episode. It's a honesty episode. Featuring themes from Craig Cashwell's novel The Guardian, Mat explores ...

Generational trauma doesn't require malice to travel — it just requires an unexamined life. This episode is about fathering yourself forward: giving yourself what you didn't receive, and making the decision that certain cycles end with you. With both grief and agency, Mat explores what it looks li...

Inside every man is a boy who adapted. Who learned to need less, hide more, and survive the gap between what he needed and what he got. Drawing on the work of Dr. Gabor Maté, this episode invites men to find that boy with compassion instead of embarrassment — and to understand that what looks lik...

None of us came into the world knowing how to be a man. We were taught — by fathers, coaches, uncles, pastors, and older brothers. This episode explores the instruction manual we received about manhood, where it served us, and where it's been quietly costing us. Not to blame the past, but to exami...

We carry more losses than we know — not just the ones with funerals, but the quiet kind. The version of yourself you thought you'd be by now. The dream that died slowly. The future that felt certain and then wasn't. In this Season 2 opener, Mat invites men to name what they've been carrying — an...

The Supreme Court's recent ruling on conversion therapy (Chiles v. Salazar) has raised important questions for many people. I want to be clear: conversion therapy will never be practiced at Greer Counseling.
Every major medical and mental health organization has recognized this practice as harmful — and a court ruling doesn't change that evidence.
If you're looking for affirming, compassionate counseling in Greenville, SC, this is a space where you'll be heard and respected as you are.
Read my full response on the blog:

Here at Greer Counseling, I adamantly oppose conversion therapy, and it will never be part of the work done here. Evidence is clear that it creates harm. Helping people work through shame in their life is a common part of my practice, and I will never practice in a way that clearly only deepens tha

Many men living with Complex PTSD don’t realize it.

C-PTSD isn’t about a single “big T” trauma — it’s about chronic emotional wounding that shapes how we love, trust, and cope. Tim Fletcher notes that 97% of people struggling with addictions also live with Complex Trauma, a finding that echoes Dr. Gabor Maté’s work.

In my latest post, I explore how C-PTSD shows up in daily life, why so many men miss the signs, and what healing can look like.
