Aaron Johnson - Founder of the Chronically Undertouched Project

Author: Timothy J. Hayes, Psy.D. July 7, 2026 Duration: 29:33

Dismantling the myth that mental illness is a lifelong sentence requires looking beyond traditional clinical frameworks to find holistic, restorative pathways. Dr. Timothy Hayes sits down with Aaron Johnson, the visionary founder of the Chronically UnderTouched Project, to explore an essential yet deeply under-invested topic in America: the emotional and relational lives of Black men. Our culture often enforces rigid paradigms that isolate individuals, but complete restoration requires that we address underlying emotional and physiological trauma. Aaron shares his powerful personal journey of breaking through decades of emotional numbness after the sudden passing of his father. Through his profound work, he is creating safe village containers where men can dismantle toxic archetypes, practice deep internal listening, and safely rebuild platonic intimacy. This groundbreaking conversation provides seekers and practitioners alike with innovative wellness modalities to restore minds and reclaim vibrant lives.
