The Psychology of Prostate Cancer - Helping Men Cope

Prostate cancer doesn’t just affect the body — it challenges identity, relationships, intimacy, confidence, and emotional well-being. Yet too often, men face these struggles in silence. In this powerful episode of the If You Are My Brothers Podcast, host Reggie Hicks sits down with Max McMahon, LICSW — a clinician who has worked closely with men and their families at the world-renowned Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, helping them navigate the emotional and psychological realities of prostate cancer.   Max brings deep insight into: ✅ The hidden emotional toll of prostate cancer ✅ How diagnosis affects masculinity, identity & relationships ✅ Why men often struggle to ask for help — and how to change that ✅ Tools to cope with fear, anxiety, and uncertainty ✅ The importance of talking about intimacy & sexual health ✅ Emerging therapeutic approaches — including psychedelic-assisted support in cancer care   Whether you are a prostate cancer survivor, caregiver, partner, or simply someone who believes men deserve safe spaces to talk, this conversation offers truth, compassion, and hope. You are not alone. We are brothers in this fight — and together, we heal.   🔔 Call to Action   If this episode moved you or someone you love, please:   👍 Like this podcast 🔁 Share it with another brother or family member 🗣️ Comment your takeaway or question below 📌 Subscribe for more life-changing conversations about men’s health & healing   Learn more or get involved: www.IfYouAreMyBrothers.org Support our efforts at www.ifyouaremybrothers.org/donate
