Unmasking Men's Fears: Dr. Avrum Weiss on Human Connection

If I don't please you, I am inadequate as a person, since my worth is dependent on my capacity to please women and to make them happy with me.
Ever wondered why men might fear women? In this eye-opening episode of 'Deepen with Christina', psychotherapist and award-winning author Dr. Avrum Weiss dives into this often overlooked topic. Drawing from his bestseller 'Hidden in Plain Sight: How Men's Fears of Women Shape Their Intimate Relationships', Dr. Weiss shares his decade-long research on men's internal lives and fears.
He breaks down seven specific fears, including the fear of inadequacy, control, and being hurt, providing a fresh perspective on how these anxieties shape intimate relationships. Dr. Weiss also discusses the famous 'Still Face Experiment' by Dr. Edward Tronick, which reveals fundamental differences between men and women and how these differences affect relationships. He sheds light on the impact of socialization and gender stereotypes on men's fears, and how criticism and condescension can harm relationships.
The conversation isn't just academic; Dr. Weiss shares personal anecdotes from his own love life, making the discussion relatable and engaging. This episode isn't just for those interested in psychology; it's for anyone keen to understand human connections better. Whether you're navigating your own relationships or simply curious about the dynamics between men and women, you'll find valuable insights here.
Tune in to learn how marriage, family support, and genuine human connection play crucial roles in personal growth and relationship health.
