Men often struggle with mental health and overcoming past trauma. In our society, men are expected to be tough and emotionally resilient, but there is a lack of guidance on how to achieve this. Our Manlihood ManCast interview with Dr. John Delony offers valuable insights for men seeking to work on their mindsets, confront their past, and establish the connections and community necessary for personal growth.

Understanding Men's Mental Health

Dr. John Delony is a renowned expert in mental health and wellness, a bestselling author, and the host of The Dr. John Delony Show. With dual PhDs in Counselor Education and Supervision, as well as Higher Education Administration, his extensive background includes two decades of experience as a senior leader at various universities, a professor, researcher, and crisis responder. Today, as a Ramsey Personality, he is dedicated to teaching people how to regain control of their lives in our fast-paced world.

Unpacking Trauma in Men's Lives

Dr. Delony sheds light on the concept of trauma in a way that resonates with men. Contrary to popular belief, trauma isn't limited to catastrophic events; it can also stem from neglect, feeling unseen, or enduring challenging experiences in isolation. Regardless of its magnitude, trauma leaves a lasting impact that lingers in our bodies. It's not just a narrative from the past; it manifests as physical reactions in the present, affecting our relationships, spirits, and physical well-being.

The Ripple Effect of Trauma

One of the key points Dr. Delony emphasizes is that trauma often leads to behavior that is uncharacteristic of individuals. It erodes our self-worth and prompts us to react excessively to various stimuli, which can, in turn, perpetuate further trauma.
