Welcome back to another episode of The Things You Can't Touch.
November is Men's Mental Health Month, a time to shed light on the often-silent struggles men face. As a podcast dedicated to diversifying the world of philosophy, we believe that exploring mental health is crucial - not just through the clinical lens, but as part of broader philosophical dialogues about identity, resilience, and vulnerability.
This month, we dive into topics that challenge stereotypes, reflect on how cultural expectations impact men’s mental well-being, and encourage open conversations.
Please follow the conversation below:
00:00 - Intro
01:29 - If We Alter Our Mental Health, Does That Alter Our Identity ?
03:40 - Define The Question
05:27 - Identity As An Amalgamation

09:44 - Identity Is A Process
