In today’s episode of Men’s Therapy Podcast, host Marc Azoulay welcomes Owen Marcus. He is a seasoned expert in somatic therapy and emotional development. Owen sheds light on the complexities of emotionally unavailable men. He has years of experience helping men embrace vulnerability and heal from trauma. He provides valuable insights into the impact of toxic masculinity on emotional detachment. Additionally, he examines how societal expectations play a role in this issue..

Owen shares, "For many men, emotional unavailability is a defense mechanism. It's not a trait, but a learned response to years of conditioning. Where vulnerability was often seen as weakness." He emphasizes the importance of healing emotional wounds and taking time to focus on personal growth. Owen emphasizes that embracing vulnerability fosters deeper connections with oneself and others. This approach can lead to a more fulfilling life.

Owen examines how men often adopt coping mechanisms like suppression and avoidance. These behaviours can hinder their ability to form meaningful connections. As a result, men may struggle to build deeper relationships. Owen's somatic therapy approach targets both the mind and body. It is an effective tool for men looking to break free from harmful cycles. This therapy helps them heal emotionally.
