Most men would consider themselves to be honest, but what about when it comes to feelings?
Talking about feelings isn't common among men - and it's not something we're naturally good at either - but it is a requirement for maturity (despite what socio-cultural norms have taught us to believe about masculinity).
Psychologist and author Dr Ron Johnson joins me on this episode to share from his 50+ years of experience with men in psychological analysis and therapeutic contexts. Ron outlines the role honesty with feelings plays in a man's maturity, how that honesty relates to a man's success, why men need to expect and accept that failure will be part of the maturation process when it comes to using feeling-based words, and how maturing in this area leads to a deeper, more satisfying life.
