At Kindman & Co., we believe healing happens in community—and that includes men and masc-identified folks reimagining what masculinity can mean. In this post, Paul shares why expanding men’s emotional capacity matters, why group therapy is so powerful, and why he’s proud to support the launch of our new group, Redefining Masculinity. If you’ve ever felt boxed in by traditional scripts of ‘how to be a man,’ this one’s for you.

What happens when men are encouraged to cut off parts of themselves to fit into a narrow definition of masculinity? In this honest, nuanced conversation, three male therapists unpack how traditional gender norms shape emotional isolation—and how therapy offers a space to reconnect with tenderness, vulnerability, and real relational strength.
