Men & Emotional Trauma

“Fathers’ Rights – The Other Side of the Story”

Welcome back to the podcast. Today’s episode is going to be a serious one. We’re talking about something that affects millions of families, millions of children, and millions of men around the world… but somehow it still doesn’t get talked about enough. And that is fathers’ rights. Now before anyone switches off thinking this is going to be some kind of angry rant or anti-mother episode… it’s not. This conversation isn’t about fathers versus mothers. It’s about something much bigger than that. It’s about children, fairness, and what happens when families break apart. Because the reality is… when relationships end, the system that steps in to decide what happens next can have a huge impact on everyone involved. And for many dads, that experience can feel incredibly unfair. So today we’re going to talk about the reality, the statistics, the experiences, and the arguments from both sides of the fathers’ rights debate. Because the truth is rarely simple.

When Grief Doesn’t Move On: Understanding Complicated Grief

What Is Complicated Grief? Complicated grief isn’t about loving someone too much. It’s about loss that the nervous system can’t process properly. It often shows up when: * the death was sudden or traumatic * there was unresolved conflict * the loss involved a child or separation * support was missing at the time

Coping With Loss as a Man

This episode is shaped by my own experience — losing my mum — an unexpected loss that shook everything I thought I understood about strength, control, and coping. But this conversation isn’t just about my story.

Grief doesn’t end — it changes shape.

You know something I’ve learned about grief? It doesn’t end, It changes shape. Nobody really prepares you for that part.
