Why Black Men Avoid Therapy
About this episode
This episode explores the reasons why many Black men avoid therapy, addressing historical and social factors that contribute to this issue.
Therapy isn’t avoided because Black men don’t care about their mental health. It’s avoided because of history, stigma, mistrust, and misunderstanding. In this episode, Casanova Williams breaks down the real reasons many Black men stay away from therapy, what the DSM-5 says about untreated mental health conditions, and how avoidance itself can be a symptom. This conversation challenges myths, uses real data, and opens the door to new ways of thinking about support and healing.
