Rescuing yourself from childhood trauma, with Tom Mitchelson, author of "Don't ask me about my dad".

For men navigating the complexities of middle age, conversations about inner life can feel foreign or forbidden. Mid-life Men: the mental health podcast is a space where that silence is broken. Host Philip Briscoe engages in frank, thoughtful dialogues with men from various walks of life, exploring the unspoken challenges of mental wellbeing, societal expectations, and personal identity during these pivotal years. This isn't a lecture series; it's a collection of real stories and shared experiences. Listeners will hear candid discussions that range from managing stress and redefining purpose to navigating relationships and confronting the stigma that often surrounds vulnerability. The podcast delves into the cultural and personal dimensions of health, offering documentary-style intimacy alongside practical perspectives. Each episode aims to connect, reassure, and provide a sense of shared understanding for any man who has ever felt adrift. By focusing specifically on the mid-life experience, this series creates a vital, targeted forum for reflection and connection, challenging the notion that struggling is a sign of failure. Tune in for authentic conversations that prove you are not alone in your journey.
