Men are handed the keys to anger and pride early, while the doors to fear, grief, and tenderness quietly lock. This is for the men wondering what is behind them, and those who love them.
Liana Lucine explores why male pain so often goes unseen, how depression can hide as anger, and the gentle first steps toward unlocking what was shut away.
About the Guest:
Liana Lucine is a former Metropolitan Police officer and trainer with a background in psychology, now running Lucine Training. She works to bring visibility and support to male victims and the inner lives of men.
Key Takeaways:
- Boys are handed anger and pride, and taught to lock away fear, grief, and tenderness. Those rooms stay shut for decades.
- Male victims are too often dismissed or ridiculed. That response only pushes men back into silence.
- Depression in men can look like anger, so those close to them miss it; it does not look like sadness.
- We respond to male pain using a template built for women. Men need their own, different kind of support.
- Healing starts with validation, on your own terms. Say it or write it first, then choose carefully who you tell.
