How Men Can Start Therapy Without Fear - Men's Mental Health

Therapy shouldn’t feel like a last resort.But for many men, it does....they even put it after suicide. This episode opens up the real, unfiltered truth about men’s therapy – what it is, what it isn’t, and why so many men struggle to even consider it in the first place.Jonnie Jensen is joined by Chris Hemmings – therapist, author, podcaster, and founder of Men’s Therapy Hub, the UK’s first dedicated directory of male therapists built by men, for men. Chris has spent years working with boys and men around masculinity, mental health, and emotional wellbeing, and he speaks candidly about why so many men drop out of therapy early – often because they don’t feel understood.The conversation explores the “lone wolf” mindset – the belief that men should just get on with it and hope things smooth over – and the quieter reality that many men are navigating life without the friendships, social groups, and support networks that previous generations took for granted.When did that shift happen?Why don’t men have the connections they used to?And what does this mean for young lads growing up today?In this episode, they explore:Why therapy feels intimidating for so many menWhy asking for help can feel harder than facing physical dangerHow masculinity can be a strength rather than something to suppressWhere men can start if they’re unsure or hesitantHow to find the right therapist – and why it doesn’t have to be the first oneAnd yes, if someone doesn’t like blokes from Lancashire with an earring, Chris probably isn’t the therapist for them – and that’s exactly the point.This is a grounded, honest conversation that lifts the lid on men’s therapy and masculinity without judgement, pressure, or hype.If this episode resonates, listeners are encouraged to share it with the men in their world, leave a review, and help normalise conversations that more men need to hear.CONNECT WITH CHRIS🌐 Men’s Therapy Hub: https://menstherapyhub.co.uk🎙 Podcast – No Man’s An Island: https://open.spotify.com/show/5QgINHeUZKorBCE4LBoBXF🔗 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chris-hemmings-03964054/Men’s Therapy Hub connects men with male therapists across the UK who understand the realities men face and want to work with them directly – whether that’s around relationships, grief, identity, addiction, or simply feeling stuck.SHARE, SUBSCRIBE & REVIEWPlease subscribe - it means you will never miss an episode of the Jonnie Jensen Show and it helps the podcast services see we are popular.If this episode hit home, leave a review and share it with another man who needs to hear it.Apple → https://highvaluemanproject.com/appleSpotify → https://highvaluemanproject.com/spotifyAll Platforms → https://highvaluemanproject.com/podcastJOIN THE HIGH VALUE MAN PROJECTGet the FIRE Tracker, the High Value Man Creed, and weekly momentum inside Basecamp.👉 https://highvaluemanproject.com/groupBOOK A POWER CALL (1-ON-1 WITH JONNIE)If you want direction, accountability, and structure – book a free Focus Call.👉 https://highvaluemanproject.com/powercall Hosted on Acast.
