Men and women - the difference in how stress operates and how it manifests. And why men are less likely to admit they need help
See this article for more details on gender differences in neurobiology

00:00 The stress response in men and women are different - physiological differences in brain organisation. Fight and flight vs. Tend and befriend.
02:31 Emotions are part of that system that communicates safety biologically. When symptoms arise, women are much more likely to notice and respond to them.
03:30 Men much more likely to come when things get so bad that they can't fix it themselves. Shame in needing others (being emotionally vulnerable) is cultural.
04:45 Childhood experience is hugely landscaping of men's and women's brains. High sensitivity is just as common in boys as girls (orchid children). Emotional suppression more common in men.
06:08 Trauma embeds itself in body memory (instances of not having emotional needs met). Anxiety is present in both men and women but presents differently - can be more melancholic, shame filled.
07:57 The body presents its bill through symptoms, and it needs inter-relational safety to connect with the sensations that mask the underlying emotions wanting to break through.
09:20 Children have to attach to survive. Strategies develop as a means to manage the situation. But they become dysfunctional later in life particularly in relationships - which causes more shame.
11:22 The dysfunctional behaviour is not the authentic person but the coping mechanism. Learning to express yourself emotionally is vital to full health.
12:50 How to contact me - experience somatic psychotherapy which tracks sensations in the body which are proxies for the emotions that could not be felt.
