Men’s mental health is often overlooked, misunderstood, and full of misconceptions. Why do so many men hesitate to seek therapy? And how can we create spaces where they actually feel supported?
In this episode of Daring to Dad, I sit down with Dr. Audra Horney, a licensed psychologist who specializes in therapy for men. We break down the real barriers keeping men from getting the help they deserve. We discuss why therapy is often unintentionally feminized, how language impacts mental health support, and why shaming men into therapy isn’t the answer.
Dr. Horney also shares practical steps for supporting the men in your life, the role of social media in mental health advocacy, and what therapists and society at large can do to create real change. If you’ve ever wondered how we can do better for men’s mental health, this episode is for you.
🔹 Topics Covered: ✔️ The biggest myths about men and therapy ✔️ Why therapy has been feminized and how that affects men ✔️ How to encourage men to seek help without shaming them ✔️ The power of language in mental health treatment ✔️ What workplaces and communities can do to support men ✔️ How men’s healing benefits everyone
