In this episode, we delve into the often misunderstood world of highly sensitive men within the mental health spectrum. Inspired by my mentor, Dr. Barbara Herlihy, a pioneer of feminist theory in psychology, we explore how this theory benefits not only women but also men, particularly those who are highly sensitive. Amidst the current climate of women's empowerment, I express concerns about the marginalization of men in discussions of mental health, drawing from personal experiences and highlighting the positive influence of sensitive men in my life. We examine the unique questions and struggles faced by highly sensitive men of all ages, emphasizing the importance of fostering healthy masculinity without stigmatizing sensitivity. The conversation also navigates the balance of power in gender relationships, stressing the need to educate both sexes about their inherent strengths and the importance of not abusing them. We confront the fears surrounding male energy, especially for those with traumatic histories, and suggest working towards building trust and safety. The goal is to keep the conversation going, encouraging understanding, acceptance, and most importantly, communication about mental health and HSP (Highly Sensitive People) in our diverse world.
