Men, it shows up more with irritability. It shows up with the inability to really feel. And Lisa Feldman Barrett wrote this great book called How Emotions Are Made. And in that book, she says, the more emotion words you know, the more emotionally literate you are, and the more balanced your psyche is. And I think there's some truth to that. Men don't know a whole lot of emotion words.

Women know a ton of emotion words. So as Dr. K was saying, we have to get men into their bodies. We have to get them into the feeling part of it. And the other thing that I think is really valuable for men is to start embracing tears as alarming as that's going to be. I mean, you don't have to do it in front of your woman, for sure. I have this thing I call car screaming.

So I try and have some tears about every six months. And it just doesn't come. Like it's really hard for me to get into some tears. So I will watch sad dog videos. Or the other thing I'll do is what I call car screaming. So I go into my car and I go to a remote area and I just start screaming. And I don't cry out of sadness, I will cry out of frustration.

Like if I'm really frustrated, and I think a lot of men are like this, is that when you get to that frustration point and you've been pushing it down and pushing it down and pushing it down, You really have to release it through your body. And it's got to be something that you feel like you have some agency or some control over.

It's usually stacked up. It's usually, it's like one frustrating thing is that, but once you get three or four in there, that's usually what tips them over. And the thing about tears is they're adaptive in the brain. The reason why I think this is like a hard truth. The reason why I think men kill themselves much more often than women do is women have tears. So your dog is still died.

You're still getting a divorce. But for some reason, those tears change your perception, your subjective perception of what you're going through and make it easier on you. And if you can't have that, I think it just bubbles up to the point where it just overwhelms your brain completely. And the only way out you see is suicide. And suicide isn't so much about wanting to die.
