Something from the Cellar: International Men’s Day
Manage episode 450914210 series 2488911
Today, in honour of International Men’s Day and World Suicide Prevention Day, we’re revisiting some of our most powerful conversations with some remarkable men who’ve opened up so candidly about their mental health journeys. From breaking stigmas to finding strength in vulnerability, these stories are the epitome of resilience.
First, psychotherapist Owen O’Kane reflects on his deeply personal experiences growing up in Northern Ireland during the Troubles as a gay Irish Catholic man and how opening up to a therapist - an Irish Catholic nun, no less - helped him break free from what he calls the "holy trinity of shame." Next, SAS star Jason Fox shares his transformation from being sceptical of therapy to finding life-changing support through clinical psychology, thanks to the encouragement of a boss during one of his darkest periods. Finally, chart-topping singer Tom Grennan reveals how embracing fitness has been a game-changer for his mental health, giving him not just a new outlook but also a supportive gym community that feels like family.
We hope this episode inspires you to start your own conversations. If you’re struggling with your mental health, please call Samaritans for 24/7 emotional support on 116 123.
