"Men shouldn't cry in front of their kids," or just "Men shouldn't cry."
You've probably heard it, maybe even believed it. But what if this belief is doing more harm than good?

In this video, I'm breaking down the myth that men should never cry—especially around their children. We'll look at:

  • Why this belief is so common

  • The grains of truth that make it feel valid

  • The serious downsides of emotional suppression

  • A healthier, more powerful alternative

As a therapist, I want to help you challenge outdated narratives around masculinity, vulnerability, and parenting. Whether you're a dad yourself or thinking about what kind of parent (or partner) you want to be—this video is for you.

💬 Have you ever cried in front of your kids? What was their response?
