Shame Bite #4: Men, shame, and vulnerability with Dr. Erica Liebman

Timed intentionally ahead of Father’s Day and during Men's Mental Health Month, this special Shame Bite explores how shame manifests within masculinity, how it shows up in the therapy room, and ways that societal messaging impacts boys and men. Some burning questions we will answer include: What are the biggest misconceptions when it comes to shame and men? Is there something unique about the shame men and boys carry? What's different and the same about how a therapist creates safety with masculine identifying people in order to address shame?
