Why Men Minimize Their Feelings | I'm Fine. Just Let Me Be. | #2GMHC | Ep 30
from 2GMHC w Joe T & D Johns · host Johns & Co Productions LLC
2 Grown Men Talk: Men, Pain, and Learning to Celebrate ProgressJoe T and D Johns check in on their moods and faith, including a devotion practice centered on “being anxious about nothing.” D Johns details a much needed car worship moment after taking his mother-in-law to the airport. The conversation shifts to what pain men keep to themselves, prompted by the show “Blue Therapy,” and explores how men often default to problem-solving, minimizing feelings, and moving on quickly rather than expressing emotions. They discuss the importance of choosing a partner who can handle honesty without “fixing,” avoiding overstimulation, and not creating self-imposed pressure. They also talk about resentment, PDA and assumptions, routines becoming manipulative, and the need to celebrate relationship milestones (like improved communication) through intentional habits such as date nights, while continuing personal growth and gratitude.00:00 Cold Open and Setup00:11 Show Intro and Check In01:25 Devotion and Worship Ride02:56 Blue Therapy Sparks a Question04:10 Men and Emotional Expression08:07 Letting Your Partner In09:49 Carrying the Load and Misread Signals12:04 Self Made Pressure and Lifestyle20:42 Why Peace Beats Pain Talk22:17 Tools for Handling Pain23:50 Stop Chasing Lessons25:00 Celebrate The Wins26:29 Plan Monthly Celebrations27:16 Date Nights Got Lost29:12 Wedding Is Just A Moment29:56 Ego And Vulnerability33:29 Routine Or Manipulation35:23 Long Love Still Learns37:26 Past Shackles And Healing42:05 Keys To Your Joy45:01 Choosing Peace Daily46:31 Gratitude And Gospel#MensMentalHealth #VulnerableConversation #ChristianMen #RelationshipAdvice #OvercomingAddiction #believers Follow Joe T: https://instagram.com/bakeriii Also, if you've made it this far, don't forget to:1. subscribe to the channel, 2. turn on the notifications,3. like this video, 4. leave a comment, and5. share this content with someone who needs it.The DSP: https://thedearsonpodcast.com Support the podcast by supporting our sponsors: Shop DSN Merch: https://dear-son-merch.creator-spring.com/listing/the-dear-son-show Love Kisha J Studios: https://lovekishaj.com My ebook: https://thedearsonpodcast.com/dsp-merch-%26-digital/ols/products/20lifepromptsv1My book (physical): https://thedearsonpodcast.com/dsp-merch-%26-digital/ols/products/dear-son-what-i-wish-my-father-told-me-physical-copyLet’s connect socially: https://instagram.com/thedearsonpodcast https://facebook.com/thedearsonpodcast The Three Foundational Pillars of the DSP Community1.
