Societal Conditioning Around Gender Bias, Starts Early

During my work in education, I’ve witnessed firsthand how boys are conditioned to suppress their feelings. One day, while working in a kindergarten class, a little boy who was in tears, longing for his mom was told by the teacher, “You’re a big brother, you don’t cry,” I was shocked- I mean, I’ve seen little girls cry at school and have never heard such comments made to them.

This incident made me reflect on the damaging effects of societal expectations that place an unfair burden on men to suppress their emotions. From a young age, boys receive messages that it’s not safe to be vulnerable, that expressing their emotions is somehow unmanly. These beliefs become deeply internalized and are often associated with feelings of shame and self-doubt.

Suppressing emotions affects both the mind and body, leading to imbalances that contribute to physical and mental health issues. Unexpressed feelings become trapped within our bodies, manifesting as illnesses, depression, anxiety, and other health complications. It’s a silent struggle that many men face, often unaware of the profound impact it has on their overall well-being.

As a hypnotherapist, I’ve had the privilege of working with numerous male clients seeking to address these deeply ingrained beliefs. Through the powerful tool of hypnosis, we delve into the subconscious mind, where these beliefs reside. By bringing awareness to these subconscious patterns, we can challenge and reprogram them, freeing men to embrace vulnerability and express their emotions authentically, leading to increased confidence and overall well-being.

Our Bravery Breakthrough Session offers a transformative journey for men to confront their fears, overcome subconscious blocks, and rewrite the narrative that has held them back. It’s an opportunity to create lasting change, gain newfound confidence, and pave the way for personal growth and fulfillment.
