The Lie That’s Destroying Young Men

Therapy for men has a problem, and it starts long before a man ever walks into a session. In this episode of the Men’s Therapy Podcast, Marc Azoulay is sitting down with Timothy Wienecke. Tim is a therapist, educator, air force veteran, and host of the American Masculinity Podcast. Together, they dig into how the mental health industry’s falling short when it comes to serving men, what counselor training’s missing, and what better care actually looks like. Tim’s drawing on years of clinical work and guest lecturing in graduate programs to make the case that men are not simply harder to reach, they’re a demographic the system hasn’t been properly trained to serve. The conversation is covering: Why counselor training still relies on modalities that are three or four generations old How the shortage of male clinicians is affecting the quality of care men receive What emotional intelligence and emotional expression look like in therapy for men  How to find the right therapist for men  “The field in general is almost always 10 years behind,” Tim’s explaining. “And if you put in men’s issues, tack another generation on that.” For more podcasts, blogs, and to get involved in the Men's Therapy Online Community, visit www.menstherapy.online.
