About this episode
James Hawes has spent 20 years in a therapy room with men. What he found there became a book.
The Secret Lives of Men draws on thousands of hours of client work to map the inner emotional world of men — the shame, the anger, the intimacy struggles, and the quiet longing to be understood. James runs a private practice, works in schools, and trains other therapists to work more effectively with male clients through programmes like SHOUT and CONTACT.
This episode covers what men actually want from relationships, why emotional fitness matters, and what it takes to build a truly male-informed therapy practice.
