Be a Man — How Masculinity Norms Are Damaging Men — Truuman Podcast Ep 88
About this episode
Ten years at the BBC. A book that put it plainly. Then a decade helping men unlearn it.
Chris Hemmings is a BACP-accredited psychotherapist, former BBC journalist, and author of "Be A Man: How Macho Culture Damages Us and How to Escape It." He founded M-Path, an organisation dedicated to engaging men and boys in their own wellbeing, and now runs Men's Therapy Hub, connecting men with male therapists across the UK.
In this episode: where the pressure to "be a man" actually comes from. Why macho culture costs men their health, relationships, and years off their lives. What therapy looks like when it's built for men rather than just available to them. And why having a male therapist changes what men are willing to say.
The damage is real. So is the way out.
