What if fear—not hatred or indifference—is what’s driving the disconnection between men and women?
In this episode, Jackie sits down with Gary Katz, LCSW, CSAT, to explore a surprising but deeply human truth: many men are afraid of women. But not in the way you might think.
We talk about:
-
What men are actually afraid of when it comes to women
-
How early attachment wounds and social messaging shape male fear
-
The link between fear, control, and intimacy avoidance
-
How this fear shows up in sex addiction, betrayal, and emotional disconnection
-
What healing looks like—for both men and the people who love them
This is a nuanced and honest conversation about masculinity, shame, vulnerability, and the path forward. Whether you’re a man trying to make sense of your own fear or someone impacted by it, this episode offers insight and compassion for the work ahead.
