Episode notes
Masculine Shame Shows As Withdrawal
- Masculine shame often appears as distance, silence, overwork, or numbing rather than tears.
- Addison and Julie agree a man's subconscious question is usually "Am I respected here?"
Use Low-Demand Invitations
- Instead of demanding vulnerability, say, "I'm not your enemy and I don't need you to fix anything. I just want to know you're still here."
- That language lowers threat and invites a man to show up without emasculation.
Beware Borrowed Conviction
- Reaction videos simplify complex human differences into absolute categories, which breeds borrowed conviction.
- Addison warns borrowed conviction must be paid for personally or it becomes shallow or weaponized.
