Welcome to another insightful episode of The Integrated Man Project with your host, Travis Goodman. Today, we delve deep into the world of mental health with our special guest, Greg VanDyne, a former Green Beret medic turned mental health advocate and med-tech professional. Greg shares his profound journey of transitioning out of the military, facing the stigma around mental health, and the challenging but transformative path of seeking therapy. In this episode, Travis and Greg discuss the fear of rejection, the importance of a supportive environment, and the emotional burdens men often carry in silence. They explore the idea of normalizing conversations about mental health from a young age, the impact of social media, and the benefits of teaching emotional intelligence. Greg also shares his experiences with different therapy modalities like EMDR and his pursuit of TMS treatment. HIGHLIGHTS: The Struggle of Opening Up: Greg shares his personal journey from recognizing the need for help to overcoming the fear of rejection and worthlessness that initially prevented him from seeking therapy. He discusses the impact of societal pressure on men to suppress vulnerable emotions and how it affects mental health. Significance of a Supportive Environment: Both Greg and I delve into the importance of having a supportive environment, whether in therapy or personal life, and how it significantly impacts mental health and the healing process. We draw parallels between the supportive nature of a military team and the need for such support when tackling personal struggles. Finding the Right Therapist: We entertain the idea of a "speed dating app for therapists" to make it easier for individuals to find the right fit for their therapeutic needs. Greg's candid recounting of his initial disappointments and eventual success in finding a therapist who could understand and help him highlights the importance of persistence in the therapeutic journey. Challenge Question: How can we as a society break down the stigma surrounding men seeking help for their mental health, and what steps can we take to normalize these conversations from a young age? #integratedmanproject #integratedmanprojectpodcast SUPPORT THE SHOW: https://www.patreon.com/IntegratedManProject JOIN THE MAILING LIST & GET INVOLVED! https://sendfox.com/integratedmanproject CHAPTERS: https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/AmWS9KlRY9A Leveraging AI to improve men's mental health. https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/AmWS9KlRY9A Rapid transition, mental health struggles, barriers for men. https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/AmWS9KlRY9A Ongoing pressure to suppress vulnerable emotions and masculinity. https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/AmWS9KlRY9A Striving for success and titles, feeling inadequate. https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/AmWS9KlRY9A Humanity, courage, bravery, fear, hurdles, brain. https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/AmWS9KlRY9A Therapy support helps achieve growth and stability. https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/AmWS9KlRY9A Normalize emotional health through open, ongoing dialogue. https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/AmWS9KlRY9A Education and preparation for therapists is vital. https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/AmWS9KlRY9A Therapists need nuanced approach for effective change. https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/AmWS9KlRY9A Adapting protocol to help clients with ADHD. https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/AmWS9KlRY9A Struggling with mental health is part of being human, it gets better. https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/AmWS9KlRY9A Please share the link for Acoustic Chillmix. --------------------- DISCLAIMER: ALL VIDEOS are for educational purposes only and are NOT a replacement for treatment from a licensed professional. --------------------- If you or someone you know is in immediate danger, please call a local emergency telephone number, 988, or go immediately to the nearest emergency room. --------------------- MY GEAR AFFILIATE LINKS VIDEO: Canon 90D - https://amzn.to/3QajHUm 24mm Lens - https://amzn.to/3Z4XUl7 50mm Lens - https://amzn.to/3WH8QE9 Tripod - https://amzn.to/3Ih7POJ SanDisk 64GB Extreme PRO - https://amzn.to/3GbKlYw LIGHTING: GVM 2 Pack LED Video Lighting - https://amzn.to/3Ck4Dhi GVM RGB Camera Light - https://amzn.to/3VMwnCa AUDIO: Shure SM7B - https://amzn.to/3X1pwG5 Shure MV7 - https://amzn.to/3GyyWDB Wireless Lav Mic - https://amzn.to/3VQ71na Headphones Audio Technica M50X - https://amzn.to/3Z6ntCi Headphones Audio Technica M20X - https://amzn.to/3idrJ2n Headphones Audio Technica M30X - https://amzn.to/3Z6OaqF UA Audio Apollo Twin - https://amzn.to/3GdP7op Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 - https://amzn.to/3Ipchea
