Matt Englar-Carlson is back for part two of our conversation - an introspective journey into healthy masculinity where Matt shares hard-earned wisdom on navigating the changing landscape of modern manhood. With humor and heart, he recounts how confronting rigid notions of masculinity in his work as a therapist sparked a personal quest to redefine what it means to be a good man. Matt and I dig into the transformative power of deep male friendships, the myth of the lone cowboy, and why we must teach boys to embrace their full range of emotions. I'm moved by Matt's vision of a future where men break free from the confines of traditional gender roles to live richer, more connected lives, and he leaves us with a powerful call to action - take the first step, however small, toward building your tribe and showing up as your most authentic self.Bio:Dr. Matt Englar-Carlson is Professor of counseling at the California State University at Fullerton.

Today I am thrilled to be joined by Matt Englar-Carlson who takes us on an introspective journey exploring the roots of his profound resilience as we begin our conversation. With candor, wit and a few laughs, Matt vividly recounts how an itinerant childhood and the grounding example of his marathon-running psychologist father instilled the tenacity to persevere through life's inevitable challenges. Whether sticking it out solo during a harrowing outward bound trip or finding solace in meaningful conversations with fellow runners, Matt's experiences reveal deep truths about healthy masculinity. I'm struck by his wisdom on the gift of loyal friendship during dark times and the healing power of simply showing up for others when they suffer. Matt leaves us with powerful advice - when facing life's difficulties, embrace the struggle, envision the light ahead, and trust that this too shall pass, but not alone.Bio:Dr. Matt Englar-Carlson is Professor of counseling at the California State University at Fullerton.

In Part 2 of their three-episode discussion on the APA's guidelines for psychological practice with boys and men, Gabe and Jon wrap up the remaining definitions. They flesh these out by looping in past discussions of how potent patriarchal conditioning is and how it shapes what gives us the “ick”.
Continuing on the theme of men in therapy, Jon and Gabe begin a multi-part discussion (because ya'll know we can't be brief) on the American Psychological Association's (APA) official guidelines for improving therapy and general psychological practice for boys and men. In this first of three part episode series, they give their take on what's so exciting about these aspirational guidelines and APA's definition of gender, gender role strain, oppression, and more.

In the third installment of our special series covering the 2023 National Transgender Health Summit, we bring you the recording of a task force from the American Psychological Association (APA), who were presenting their working Guidelines for Psychological Practice with Transgender and Gender Diverse People. All four people on the task force identify as transgender or non-binary. Here is the current version of the APA's Guidelines, written in 2015: https://www.apa.org/practice/guidelines/transgender.pdf We were grateful to again be joined by a Bay Area pediatrician who attended the conference and was at this session with Aaron T.

In 2018, the APA released guidelines to help psychologists work with men and boys. These guidelines recognize that some traditional masculine traits are harmful. This in itself can be damaging because those traits serve a purpose in society. Self sufficiency and independence should be fostered in a healthy way, not seen as risk factors.On today's podcast we discuss the war on masculinity.RADICALLY GENUINE PODCASTTwitter: Roger K.

Transgender and gender diverse people appear to be at higher risk for suicidal thoughts and behaviors than cisgender people. In this episode, Dr. Raymond Tucker shared what he has learned about this topic from his research with transgender and gender diverse veterans and civilians. Importantly, he highlighted the limitations of the current literature by pointing to methodological challenges in the field. Dr. Tucker shared the psychological mediation framework to describe how external stressors (e.g., discrimination) influence internal experiences (e.g., shame) to impact mental health. He also described factors that seem to protect against suicide risk (e.g., chosen family, social support, equitable policies) and a transgender-affirming cognitive behavioral therapy adaptation for clinicians. We learned a lot from Dr. Tucker, and we hope you enjoy the episode. Thanks for listening! Dr. Raymond Tucker is a licensed clinical psychologist and assistant professor of psychology at Louisiana State University. His research and clinical work focus on the prevention of suicide, particularly in underserved communities.

Sean Illing talks with political commentator and author David French about modern conservatism and masculinity. They discuss the divergence between the Right's view of masculinity and what they fear the Left's view is, how Trump and politicians in his image have changed the conception of manliness within the GOP, and what the continued glorification of these revised ideals will mean for our political future in America.

In this episode we talk about objections to Stoicism and "Stoic attitude" in our own day. We discuss two seemingly different, but in fact quite congenial, attacks, i.e. about APA's document Guidlines for Psychological Practice with Boys and Men" and the survey "Stoicism and Well Being". In the process we discuss fruit of contemporary "dissolution mentality", clearly expressed in the first document and lay out the origin and nature of the pleasure principle which is at the base of the critique laid out in the second one. Finally, we discuss Christian evaluation of Stoicism.
Edward M. Adams, PsyD, is a psychologist in private practice for over thirty years. He founded the nonprofit organization Men Mentoring Men and has facilitated over one thousand men's meetings, workshops, and retreats. As president of the American Psychological Association's Division 51, Adams helped usher in the landmark "APA Guidelines for Psychological Practice with Boys and Men" in 2018. He has written or cowritten articles for Fortune, Inc., and Wired and is the coauthor of three books. His latest book, Reinventing Masculinity: The Liberating Power of Compassion and Connection, explores the conventional notion of what it means to be a man. What he calls "Confined Masculinity"--traps men in an emotional straitjacket; steers them toward selfishness, misogyny, and violence; and severely limits their possibilities. As an antidote, he proposes a new paradigm: Liberating Masculinity. It builds on traditional masculine roles like the protector and provider, expanding men's options to include caring, collaboration, emotional expressivity, an inclusive spirit, and environmental stewardship.

It's officially spooky season so we thought we'd celebrate this with a 2020 study about scary movies, psychology and COVID-19. (Can you think of a more bone-chilling combination of variables?) This week's study is called, "Pandemic practice: Horror fans and morbidly curious individuals are more psychologically resilient during the COVID-19 pandemic." Join us for some tricks and treats as Paola and Taylor break down this study that sought to explore if interest in horror films and trait morbid curiosity relates to pandemic preparedness and psychological resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic. We promise this episode will give you pumpkin to talk about. **Side note: we misquote a Blink 182 lyric as being by Good Charlotte or My Chemical Romance.

We often hear about the physical benefits of training (e.g., fat loss, muscle gain), less often are the psychological benefits promoted. Yet, engaging in a moderate amount of physical activity will result in improved mood and emotional states. Exercise can promote psychological well-being as well as improve quality of life. You can gain a lot of wisdom and real-life lessons just by moving your body and seeing it change its shape. Listen to the entire podcast segment to understand this unexplored side of exercising.
Join me for the latest episode of The Co-Working Club podcast as I welcome a very special guest, one of my oldest and closest friends, Amy Sixsmith to talk all about looking after your mental health during uncertain times. With a Masters in Children and Young Peoples Mental Health and Psychological Practice, Amy now works as a mental health first aid instructor which means she delivers training to individuals looking to become mental health first aiders.

The Modern Therapist's Survival Guide with Curt Widhalm and Katie Vernoy
Curt and Katie talk about the 2018 APA Guidelines for Psychological Practice with Boys and Men. We talk about the definition of masculinity and each of the guidelines, looking at what they explain well and where they miss the mark. It’s time to reimagine therapy and what it means to be a therapist. To support you as a whole person and a therapist, your hosts, Curt Widhalm and Katie Vernoy talk about how to approach the role of therapist in the modern age. In this episode we talk about: Discussing whether these guidelines would be created The importance of teasing out the differences across demographics, genders, etc. The complexity of men and what the guidelines address The definition of masculinity and Curt’s problem with it The concept of many masculinities The shifting perception of masculinity and femininity Toxic masculinity as the extreme The places where the guidelines miss the mark Comparing Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Michael Cerra The stuff that is “no duh.” Discussing intersectionality, the impact of culture, sexism, power, privilege on how men develop Biological, evolutionary, and societal impacts on sexism for men Challenging the idea that we actually value all the different types of masculinity How the educational guidelines miss the need to adjust how schools operate What is missed or misrepresented about bullying How the guidelines address violence The problem with the data on violence – looking at convictions versus how many are committed The concept of “boys will be boys” Physical differences that lead to stand up and be protective The thought that the Guidelines are not acknowledging the biological or physical differences between men and other genders The types of responses men have toward taking care of their health How to embrace masculinity as an element of diversity and not thinking that masculinity is bad Differentiating toxic masculinity from masculinity (i.e., pathologizing masculinity) How this can be perceived in the #metoo era The shifting of what is acceptable for men and potential impacts of these shifts on boys and men How advocacy is addressed in the guidelines, especially looking at intersectionality Relevant Episodes: When is it Discrimination?

IMPORTANT NOTICE: From episode #6 and on, the podcast will be under the name of Necessary Bullshit Podcast.In this episode, Josh and Ian discuss their take on masculinity. In wake of the recent guidelines released by the American Psychological Association (APA), writers on the political Right and the IDW have condemned the APA for pathologizing men. These guidelines are briefly discussed. But then they move onto the analysis from the Very Bad Wizards podcast, as well as the Quillette article entitled 'Thank You, APA' written by Clay Routledge. Josh and Ian also talk about their own personal experiences with masculinity (with help from some tasty brews) and navigating relationships as men, briefly touching on Josh's article from his blog entitled 'Romantic Love is Sacrifice?'Follow them on Twitter at:Josh @theonlyoneblogIan @modernovermanand the podcast @NecessaryBSPodWebsite: https://www.necessarybspodcast.com/Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/necessarybspodLinks:APA Guidelines for Psychological Practice with Boys and Men@verybadwizardsVery Bad Wizards Episode 156Thank You, APA@clayroutledgeRomantic Love is Sacrifice?Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/necessarybspod)
In August 2018, the American Psychological Association released The Guidelines for Psychological Practice with Men and Boys, which officially declared traditional masculinity as psychologically harmful to males. Detractors were sure the study was coerced by the #MeToo movement and shouted that men were going to be forced to be feminine. But the document itself says […]
Jeff Salzman talks with Dr. Keith Witt about an evolutionary approach that liberates masculinity and femininity into a new integration that features the best of both and makes them available to all. The culture wars heated up last week with two new skirmishes. One was the release of the American Psychological Association’s new Guidelines for Psychological Practice with Boys and Men. The other is a new ad released by the Gillette razor company: The Best a Man Can Get. Both explicitly criticize traditional views of masculinity; as the APA Guidelines states, “traditional masculinity — marked by stoicism, competitiveness, dominance and aggression — is, on the whole, harmful.” And both encourage men to be more sensitive, cooperative and revealing. Predictably, the new ad and report created blowback from people who see them as part of a postmodern project to neuter men by damning masculinity itself as toxic. They maintain that traditional masculine qualities are innate to men and essential to a healthy culture. Could both sides have a point?

By now, you've probably seen this picture... ...and heard about Gillette's new ad, The Best Men Can Be Maybe you've even heard about the American Psychological Association's Guidelines for Psychological Practice with Boys and Men, which some applaud and some condemn. (Two recent headlines: "Toxic Masculinity is Under Attack. And That's Fine," from a left-leaning website, and "The American Psychological Association Has Made Choosing a Therapist Easy," from a right-leaning site.) Discussion of these videos, pictures and guidelines have dominated social media recently -- for better and for worse. For better: People are publicly discussing masculinity and the expectations placed on boys and men. For worse: Many people are jumping to conclusions without looking at the actual source material. In many corners, "discussion" has devolved into shouting. In this episode, Jen & Janet dive in & discuss: The APA Guidelines for Psychological Practice with Boys and Men The Gillette ad, The Best Men Can Be The encounter between the boys of Covington High School, tribal elder Nathan Phillips and the Black Hebrew Israelites Note: On 1/21/19, Twitter suspended an account which spread the initial 1-minute video of the encounter in DC after realizing that the account was likely part of a network of anonymous accounts that were working to amplify the video. Soon after that initial, short video sparked outrage, a longer, nearly 2-hour video of the encounter was posted on YouTube to an account called "John Duncan." As of 1/23/19, no one seems to know who recorded or posted the video. One journalist Jen spoke with said, "We all have serious questions about the origins of the vids and related content and the fact that finding a human attached to any of it proves elusive."

On this episode of Fault Lines, hosts Garland Nixon and Lee Stranahan discuss a suicide bombing perpetrated by the Islamic State in northern Syria which left at least 16 people dead, including 4 Americans.

On today's show, Dr. Bosworth joins the hosts to give her thoughts on this report and why she believes learning masculine character traits is critical in the development of successful men. Four Americans were killed by a recent ISIS attack in Syria which could be used as a reason to keep American forces in the region. Kevork Almassian, the founder of Syriana Analysis, returns to the program to discuss this deadly attack and his expectations for how President Trump will proceed with regards to American forces in the country.A man named Phil Whelan was recently arrested in Russia on suspicion of espionage. Former CIA officer Philip Giraldi joins the show to give his take on this story, how intelligence agencies operate in foreign countries, and the likelihood that Whelan is an actual spy who is associated with the CIA. To close the show, Garland and Lee are joined by Ryan Cristián, founder and editor of The Last American Vagabond to discuss both the situation in Syria and the never-ending onslaught of media propaganda facing the American people. Will President Trump continue with his plans to withdraw forces from Syria and how will media propaganda continue to rise as we move towards the 2020 election?
Photo by duncan c via Flickr Our listeners ask the big, important questions! When we put out our most recent call for listener questions, we got some heart-felt, thought-provoking, difficult-to-answer questions. Allison asked how to effectively love and support a young teen: We have a 14 year old boy, and I'm on shifting sands. I'm trying to find balance supporting and loving him while holding boundaries for battles that feel worthy of fighting. I know you all have talked young teens before, but this is all new for me, and I'm really struggling to find my new normal now that he's growing into a young man. We are strongly attached and have lots of love, so I'm grateful we get to start from there, but he can be combative and moody and I'm often taken aback by what new terrain this is. Margaret wants to know more about sensitive boys. She wrote: How about some conversation about the highly sensitive tween and tween boy? How to protect and honor and care for that gift and sensitivity, and integrate, be resilient and grow into their full masculine self in a way that honors and keeps the sensitive piece safe and ideally shares and appreciates it in helpful, meaningful, contributing ways? Linda asks about implicit bias: How do you help boys dealing with implicit bias, such as lower expectations from the teacher, benefit of doubt going to girls in conflict, etc. In this episode, Jen & Janet discuss: Normal behavior for a 14 yr old boy Parenting teens as a marathon (on shifting sands) How learning & talking about the brain changes of adolescence can help parents & boys Why deliberate boundaries can decrease conflict between parents & children (and co-parents!) Shifting definitions of masculinity, and how to help your boy navigate them How to help your boy find his tribe Implicit bias against boys in schools - & how to keep it from damaging your son's self-esteem Links we mentioned (or should have) in Episode 144: Episode 123: The Good News About Bad Behavior with Katherine Reynolds Lewis American Psychological Association Guidelines for Psychological Practice with Boys and Men Episode 103: Sports and Boys Who Don't Like Them Episode 131: Emails & Phone Calls from Teachers Love this Listener Q & A?

On this episode of Fault Lines, hosts Garland Nixon and Lee Stranahan discuss Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard's announcement to run for President and how her decision is being received thus far. While the DNC and Democratic establishment may view this as a potential headache, could public grassroots support turn Gabbard into a legitimate contender?Guests:Stephen Lendman - Writer and Geopolitical Analyst | Foreign Policy Round-Up & Early Thoughts on the 2020 ElectionNiko House - Political Activist & Broadcast Journalist | Will the DNC Successfully Torpedo Tulsi Gabbard's Presidential Campaign?DC McAllister - Cultural and Political Commentator | What's More Harmful: TOXIC Masculinity or a LACK of Masculinity?Danny Sjursen - U.S. Army Officer and Former History Instructor at West Point | Will Trump Follow His Gut on Foreign Policy?While the ongoing government shutdown remains the main focus of the American mainstream media, the Trump administration continues to have its hands full with foreign policy challenges. Geopolitical analyst Stephen Lendman returns to Fault Lines to discuss Venezuela, Iran, and Syria as well as to give his early thoughts on the current field of Democrats running for President in 2020.Tulsi Gabbard jeopardized her political future with the Democratic Party when she endorsed Bernie Sanders over Hillary Clinton in the 2016 Democratic Primary. Political activist & broadcast journalist Niko House joins Garland and Lee to talk about Gabbard's prospects as a Presidential candidate in 2020 and the treatment she can expect to receive from the DNC given their tense relationship.The American Psychological Association recently released a document entitled: GUIDELINES for Psychological Practice with Boys and Men. These standards are critical of certain masculine traits in boys suggesting that these traits are often harmful to society and should be dealt with clinically. Cultural commentator DC McAllister finds these standards to be both counterproductive and dangerous, and she will detail her views on this topic to the hosts on today's program. For the final segment, Garland and Lee are joined by US Army Officer Danny Sjursen to discuss the overall sustainability of America's current foreign policy and the Washington DC establishment's appetite for perpetual war. Will President Trump draw back forces around the globe as he has shown a desire to do, or will John Bolton and others continue to lead the administration down the road of a hawkish global agenda?

Psychologists Declare Traditional Masculinity ‘Harmful’The American Psychological Association (APA) has released guidelines that teach psychologists working with men and boys that “traditional masculinity is psychologically harmful.”According to an APA announcement, the release of Guidelines for Psychological Practice with Boys and Men comes after a review of more than 40 years of research showing that men who are not emotionally expressive are damaged and end up with serious behavior problems.According to the APA announcement:Men commit 90 percent of homicides in the United States and represent 77 percent of homicide victims. They’re the demographic group most at risk of being victimized by violent crime. They are 3.5 times more likely than women to die by suicide, and their life expectancy is 4.9 years shorter than women’s. Boys are far more likely to be diagnosed with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder than girls, and they face harsher punishments in school—especially boys of color.===========================Could Smartphone Apps Help Curb Teen Depression?Social media use on smartphones has been blamed for rising rates of teen depression — but those phones could help solve the problem.Psychiatrists and parents have long been worried about the psychological and emotional risks of high rates of social media use among teens, with so much time spent on their phones limiting face-to-face interaction, the development of social skills, and potentially contributing to depression and anxiety. But now, researchers are trying to find ways to use the fact that teens are on their phones so much to track possible signs of depression and intervene.
