Why Men Are Exhausted From Work and Home | Ep 196 | The Dear Son, Show

Men’s Mental Health, Fatherhood & Capacity: Dr. Jason Phillips on Therapy, Burnout, and Being Present On The Dear Son Show, D Johns talks with Dr. Jason Phillips, a licensed therapist and confidence coach, about men’s mental health, fatherhood, and learning to assess personal capacity. Phillips shares how corporate talks during Mental Health Month lead men to seek support, why therapists also need therapy, and how grief and major losses forced him to slow down and care for himself. They discuss the provider mindset, saying no to “raggedy yeses,” balancing career and family, and how parenting choices may not be understood until children reach their 20s. Phillips reflects on his own parents’ roles, emphasizes prioritizing family in real life and calendars, and encourages men to acknowledge struggles, take accountability, and take action while asking for help when needed. 00:00 Parenting For The Future 01:03 Show Intro And Apology 03:06 Meet Dr Jason Phillips 04:04 Mens Mental Health Month 06:32 Fatherhood And Self Care 08:45 Grief On Holidays 10:26 Why He Became A Therapist 14:37 Capacity And Saying No 22:55 Work Ethic Versus Family 27:07 Discipline And Dad Style 31:45 Therapists Need Therapy 39:03 Success Scripts And Identity 43:45 Raising Kids Without Pressure 45:32 Encouragement And Where To Find Him 46:58 Projects And Closing #fathersonrelationship #adviceformen #modernfatherhood #adultchildren #lifelessonsformen #raisingmen #raisingkids #mantalk Channel Focus Areas: “What Fathers Should Teach Their Sons” “How to Be a Better Father” “Father Son Relationship Advice” “Mistakes Fathers Make” “Lessons Every Man Should Learn” Follow Jason: https://instagram.com/drjasonphillips Also, if you've made it this far, don't forget to: 1. subscribe to the channel, 2. turn on the notifications, 3. like this video, 4. leave a comment, and 5. share this content with someone who needs it.
