Let’s be honest. Black men are carrying weight most people can’t see. But when it comes to talking about it? That’s where the struggle begins.

In this episode of Four Titles, One Truth, we go deep on why therapy still feels like a battle for many Black men, even when we know it could help. From the pride we were taught to wear like a bulletproof vest, to the fear of looking “weak,” to not wanting to relive pain we buried long ago… this conversation is a revelation.

We talk about:

•Why so many of us avoid therapy until we’re in crisis

•How the military mindset makes it even harder to be vulnerable

•The difference between therapy, venting, and silence

•Moments when we almost went… and what held us back

•What healing could actually look like if we let go of the stigma

This episode isn’t just about therapy, it’s about freedom. The kind that starts in your mind. 

If you’ve ever told yourself, “I’ll handle it,” but deep down you’re tired of carrying it alone, this one’s for you.
