I had a breakthrough when I realized that my stress and anxiety often present as irritation or anger. I was able to apologize more quickly to the person I snapped at and also to explain to them that I was feeling stressed or worried. This has changed my relationships.

When you're stressed, what emotion do people see—and what emotion do you actually feel?

Why does slowing down feel so hard?

Sometimes it's because busyness has been carrying more than our schedule.

It has been carrying our worries, our distractions, our sense of purpose, and even our avoidance.

When we slow down, we don't just make room for rest.

We make room to notice ourselves again.

What do you notice when you allow yourself to rest?

Are you the strong one? The one who takes care of your family and your friends? It can feel like weakness to ask for help, but:

Strong people get overwhelmed.

Strong people need support.

Strong people ask for help.

Seeking support is not weakness.

It is a willingness to face what is difficult rather than carrying it alone.

Many boys grow up learning that courage means hiding what hurts.

"Don't cry."
"Be tough."
"Man up."
"Shake it off."

Little by little, they learn to carry their emotions quietly.

But emotions don't disappear when they're ignored. They simply go underground.

The sadness becomes anger.
The fear becomes control.
The loneliness becomes silence.

Men do not feel less deeply than anyone else. Yet many were never taught the language of their inner world.

Healthy emotional development means helping boys understand that feelings are not weaknesses to overcome—they are part of being human.

When we teach boys how to recognize, express, and regulate their emotions, we give them a gift that lasts a lifetime.

What message about emotions did you receive growing up?

June is Men's Mental Health Month. As a therapist, I have noticed that more women than men, are likely to seek mental health support. Some of this may by socialization. Some may be stigma, or an internalized sense of what it means to be a man.

Many men have learned to carry their struggles quietly. They show up, work hard, take care of others, and keep moving.

But carrying something well doesn't mean it isn't heavy.

This Men's Mental Health Month, let's make space for honest conversations about what men are carrying.
