When a man goes quiet, it’s usually not because he “doesn’t know how to communicate.”
�It’s because staying silent feels safer than saying the wrong thing and paying for it later.
For a lot of guys, shutting down started as self-protection. If you’ve been misunderstood, judged, or told you’re “too much” (or “not enough”), silence can feel like the only move that works.
But here’s the thing: going quiet isn’t really about communication. It’s about safety. Until you feel safe, no amount of “just talk more” advice is going to cut it.
If this sounds like you, I want you to know you’re not broken or alone. I work with men every day who are tired of carrying this weight. Together, we build a space where you can actually exhale, feel understood, and practice tools that help you steady yourself and reconnect with the people who matter most.
I’m accepting new clients in Kansas — if you’re ready to try something different, hit the link in my bio and let’s talk. The more hesitant you are about therapy, the better. 😉
