Unpacking Emotions: Navigating Stress, Vulnerability and Self-Sabotage The episode discusses mental health from a black man's perspective on childhood trauma and how men deal with stress and breakups. Guest Willie G notes some men are reluctant to open up to partners due fear of vulnerability or trauma being used against them. He handles his own trauma by continuing life goals without letting it control him. Relationships sometimes end due to self-sabotage from childhood issues creating fear of closeness. Breakups affect people differently depending on reasons and relationship length. Men can become desensitized to problems but should empathize with others' experiences.
