Welcome to No Man’s an Island – a podcast powered by Men’s Therapy Hub, a directory of male therapists for male clients.
In this conversation, Dr Jett Stone speaks with Dr Krista Fisher about why male anxiety can be difficult to recognise. Men may experience physical symptoms, tension, rumination or a general sense that something needs fixing without identifying what they feel as anxiety.
Krista explains how expectations of fearlessness and self-reliance can prevent men from recognising their symptoms or seeking support. She also introduces her “resisting, reckoning and responding” model, describing how young men gradually identify and learn to live with anxiety.
They then explore how young men turn to social media for answers and how the manosphere can capitalise on anxiety and insecurity by offering confidence, status and simple solutions to complicated emotional problems.
This episode is a conversation about recognising male anxiety, challenging the expectation that men should be fearless and helping young men respond to uncertainty in healthier ways.
