<p>Are your goals secretly setting you up to fail? In this Mojo Monday, Carly explores the idea of “dead person goals”—those focused on eliminating feelings or stopping behaviours entirely—and why they rarely work. Borrowing from the work of Russ Harris, she offers a powerful reframe: goals grounded in action and values that actually move you forward. If you’ve ever said, “I just want to stop doing that,” this episode will help you find a better way.</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>

<p>In this enlightening podcast episode, I engage in a profound conversation with Dr. Zac Seidler, a distinguished clinical psychologist and Director of Research at Movember. Dr. Seidler is a trailblazer in the realm of men's mental health, focusing on not just the psychological aspects but the societal framework that shapes masculinity. The discussion traverses through topics of men's mental health awareness, therapeutic approaches, the societal perception of masculinity, and how we can foster healthier male communities.</p> <p><strong>What You'll Learn:</strong></p> <p><strong>Deciphering Masculinity: </strong>We delve into how the traditional concepts of masculinity can be both harmful and beneficial and discuss the need to redefine masculinity in more positive, flexible terms.</p> <p><strong>Therapeutic Approaches</strong>: Explore why traditional therapy might not resonate with men and how 'gender-sensitive' therapy can be a more effective approach.</p> <p><strong>Social Connection: </strong>The vital role of social networks in men's mental health and how a lack of these connections can lead to severe psychological issues, including suicide.</p> <p><strong>Preventative Measures: </strong>Understand the importance of getting ahead of mental health issues through early interventions and community-based programs.</p> <p><strong>Breaking Down Stigmas: </strong>Discuss the societal changes needed to address mental health proactively instead of reactively, and the importance of redefining spaces for men to safely express themselves.</p> <p><strong>Key Takeaways:</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>Masculinity Redefined: </strong>Emphasising the value of attributes like stoicism, altruism, and service when appropriately contextualised.</li> <li><strong>Supportive Networks: </strong>Highlighting the significance of building and maintaining strong social connections throughout life.</li> <li><strong>Therapy Reimagined: </strong>Utilising flexible therapeutic practices that consider men's socialisation and comfort levels.</li> <li><strong>Community and Connection: </strong>Promoting the idea that safe, non-judgmental spaces are crucial for men's mental health.</li> <li><strong>Early Intervention: </strong>The critical role of incorporating mental health teachings and practices from a young age to build resilience.</li> </ul> <p>Resources:</p> <ul> <li>Engage with <a href="https://au.movember.com/">Movember's</a> initiatives focusing on men's mental health.</li> <li>Explore gender-sensitive therapy training programs like "<a href="https://meninmind.movember.com/">Men in Mind</a>" to better understand how to engage men in therapeutic settings.</li> <li>Connect with organisations like "<a href="https://themancave.life/">The Man Cave</a>" and "<a href="https://www.topblokes.org.au/">Top Blokes</a>" that offer programs to support young men.</li> </ul> <p>Support and Share:</p> <p>Listening to this podcast could inspire not just awareness but also actionable steps towards building better support systems for the men in our lives. This conversation sheds light on the core issues impacting men's mental health and explores innovative solutions designed to uplift and support men in maintaining mental health wellness.</p> <p>To continue this important dialogue on men's mental health, visit Movember's website and explore their extensive resources aimed at creating change and advocating for better health.
