In XYBM 157, we sit down with Bashea Williams, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Bashea breaks down what he sees most in his sessions with men — from emotional suppression rooted in traditional masculinity to the communication breakdowns that slowly damage relationships over time. Drawing from couples therapy, personal experience, and clinical frameworks, he helps us better understand validation, mirroring, boundaries, and the impact childhood trauma can have on the way we love as adults. If you’ve ever struggled to communicate in relationships, felt misunderstood, or realized your past may be affecting the way you love today, this episode will leave you thinking differently about yourself, your relationships, and your healing journey.
