About this listen

Many men say they didn’t experience trauma.

No abuse. No violence. Nothing dramatic enough to explain why they feel disconnected.


And yet, something feels missing.


This episode explores the invisible trauma of growing up unseen — not what happened, but what never did.

The absence of response.

The lack of being mirrored, noticed, and met emotionally.


We talk about how early adaptation can look like strength, independence, and competence,

while quietly shaping an identity built around what was needed rather than who you truly are.


This is not an episode about blame or pathology.

It’s about understanding how order, self-control, and emotional distance can form without chaos — and why so many men grow up functional but absent.


If you’ve ever felt capable, stable, and “fine,”

yet strangely disconnected from yourself,

this episode is for you.
