Men tend to express their emotional distress using physical terms rather than emotional ones, such as saying 'ripped my heart out' or 'stomped on my balls.' This physicality helps men understand each other's emotions without needing to delve deep into emotional discussions.

This highlights the connection between the mind and body in managing emotions, a significant aspect often overlooked in psychotherapy.
