Dr. Gloria Vanderhorst reveals how our culture systematically restricts boys' emotional development despite being born with a broader emotional range than girls. She examines the lifelong impact of emotional conditioning on men's relationships and mental health.
• Boys naturally have a wider emotional range than girls, but cultural and maternal responses narrow this range from infancy
• Mothers unconsciously withdraw when boys express emotions outside maternal comfort zones, teaching boys to limit emotional expression
• Society prepares boys to be fighters and providers by systematically cutting off access to tender emotions
• Boys experience different treatment in early childhood settings – female teachers often struggle with boys' natural emotional and physical expression
• Academic systems disadvantage boys who emotionally mature later than girls but face identical expectations
• Men often have feelings they can't identify due to limited emotional vocabulary from years of conditioning
• Our brains store every experience we've ever had, including memories from early childhood and potentially genetic memories
• Accessing stored memories can help heal emotional injuries and expand emotional capacity
