How to Speak to Men - Emotion, Trust and Breaking The Rules with Dr Audra Horney

Welcome to Episode 27 of No Man’s an Island – a podcast powered by Men’s Therapy Hub, a directory of male therapists for male clients.In this episode, Dr Jett Stone speaks with Dr Audra Horney, a licensed psychologist and founder of Modern Therapy Arizona, who has become one of the most visible voices in men’s mental health on social media.Audra’s route into this work was not conventional. With an academic background that included women’s studies, she did not initially set out to specialise in men’s mental health. Instead, the focus emerged through clinical practice, where she discovered both a passion for working with men and a gap in how therapy training prepares clinicians to meet their needs.Together they explore why many men are not resistant to therapy so much as cautious about a system that does not feel designed for them. Audra explains the practical changes she makes in the therapy room, including dropping the traditional “soft therapist voice,” being more direct with clients and creating an environment where authenticity and honesty are prioritised over formality.The conversation also explores the importance of trust in therapy, why crying is not the only measure of emotional depth and how men often need clearer guidance about what therapy actually involves. Audra also shares how her social media presence has helped men build trust with a therapist before ever stepping into the room.Finally, they discuss the biggest barrier many men still face when seeking help – access. Even when men overcome the emotional hurdles of reaching out, the cost and availability of therapy can still stop them from getting support.You can find Audra here:https://www.instagram.com/dr.audra.horney/You can find Jett here:https://jettstonephd.comEpisode page on Men's Therapy Hub:https://menstherapyhub.co.uk/how-to-speak-to-men-emotion-trust-and-breaking-the-rules-with-dr-audra-horney/Men's Therapy Hub UK DirectoryNo Man's an Island - podcast pageFollow:🎥 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@menstherapyhub📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/menstherapyhub/💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/menstherapyhub/🎵 Music: Raindear Hosted on Acast.
