Episode #166: We Need to Talk NOW: Men’s Mental Health Emergency!  Featuring DR. JODY CARRINGTON!  
We’ve never been more connected… and we’ve never been this alone.
Dr. Jody Carrington explains why modern life is pushing our nervous systems to the limit, how unresolved trauma can quietly shape who we become, and why authentic human connection may be one of the most important things we’ve lost.
Dr. Jody is a clinical psychologist, bestselling author, speaker and founder and principal psychologist of Carrington & Company. She holds a Master’s and PhD in Clinical Psychology and spent the first decade of her psychology career working on a locked psychiatric inpatient unit for children. Today, her work focuses on trauma, mental health, human connection, leadership and helping people find their way back to themselves and each other. She is the author of three bestselling books and host of the UNLONELY podcast. 
 
In this episode, she explains:
■ Why we’re becoming more disconnected despite being constantly connected■ The mental health crisis facing middle-aged men■ Why men need better language for their emotions■ How constant notifications and stimulation keep the nervous system on high alert■ Why you can’t address what you refuse to acknowledge■ How trauma can remain stored in the body long after the event is over■ How unresolved experiences can affect relationships decades later■ Why naming emotions can help us regulate them■ Why success, money and possessions often fail to create fulfillment■ The difference between knowing your worth and feeding your ego■ Why giving, connection and feeling seen can create deeper fulfillment■ How to find your way back to yourself in an increasingly disconnected world
