They don’t call it “therapy.”They don’t schedule appointments.But every Saturday morning, without fail, they meet at the same coffee shop. Or go for a drive. Or just sit in silence, watching the game.For many men, healing doesn’t happen on a therapist’s couch — it happens with a buddy.In this powerful and honest episode, mindfulness and emotional wellness expert Dr. Soha dives into the growing trend of men turning to close male friendships — what some are calling “buddy systems” — as their primary source of emotional support. With rising loneliness, societal pressure to “be strong,” and stigma around mental health, many men are bypassing therapy — not because they don’t need help, but because friendship feels safer than treatment.Dr. Soha explores:Why traditional therapy can feel intimidating, alienating, or “feminine” to many menHow casual, low-pressure bonds (“just hanging out”) become lifelines for emotional releaseThe hidden mental health crisis behind male isolation — and how buddies fill the gapWhen a buddy helps — and when professional support is still essentialHow we can honor these bonds while encouraging healthier, more open paths to healingThis isn’t about replacing therapy.It’s about understanding how men actually heal — and creating a world where they don’t have to choose between pride and peace.🎧 If you’ve ever said, “I don’t need help — I’ve got my guy,” this conversation will hit home.Because sometimes, the most profound therapy… never looks like therapy at all._____________________________________________________________________________Theraputic Session by [Dr.Soha] "Why So Many Men Are Choosing Buddies Over Therapy (And What It Means) – Dr. Soha."Produced by [Team Relaxire]Special thanks to [All our listeners on all platforms]For collabs & partnerships: [email protected] | All rights reserved
