The resolved male caregiver, who may sometimes be described as “rigid as a pillar,” is highlighted in this podcast by psychologist Dr. Barry J. Jacobs. Dr. Jacobs explains how male caregivers who keep their feelings buried inside tend to struggle more and eventually burn out, while others who allow themselves to experience their own feelings and understand these internal signals can prevail. He offers advice for adult children on ways they can support their father to make caregiving a shared experience.
