Clip featuring Kelly Brogan offering an opinionated view on gendered emotional expression: she challenges the idea that men should be encouraged to "feel their feelings," arguing that excessive emotional processing is undermining to both men and women. Brogan suggests men should seek private catharsis (e.g., vipassana, martial arts) and learn to strengthen their "spines," while women need help "softening" due to defensive conditioning. The excerpt is conversational and prescriptive in tone.

So what is it that men have been encouraged to feel their feelings? Is that really what they should be doing getting in touch with their feelings? I don't think so. To a point To a point with their women? Not at all. That's my perspective is that it's.

That's right you find your ways of accessing catharsis privately with your men. You do you know vipassana martial arts you get your system strong Men don't need help connecting to their hearts their hearts are actually quite available. We need help. Women need help because of our defensive conditioning what men need is help connecting to their spines and women we need help softening.
