BU BÖLÜM HAKKINDA
Men's mental health, male anxiety and masculinity sit at the center of this one. Author, software developer and mental health advocate Brian Sachetta joins Bruce Anthony to talk about why so many men suffer from anxiety in silence, and never say a word about it.
Brian grew up in the "boys don't cry" era, and he traces how that programming followed him into adulthood, his relationships and a successful software career, all while he was quietly fighting panic attacks he did not understand. There was no single fix, just a long and uneven search for what actually works. Bruce and Brian get into the anxiety hidden behind ambition and productivity, the way technology becomes a tool for avoiding what we feel, and the male loneliness crisis so many men are living through without ever naming it.
Brian's story is a reminder that healing rarely arrives as one clean breakthrough. It asks for honesty, patience and a willingness to stop running from the parts of yourself you have spent years avoiding. Because sometimes familiar pain just feels safer than the uncertainty of becoming someone new.
