    Ep. 157: What Therapists see in Black Men Becoming Better Husbands & Fathers with Bashea

    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.

    If you want to listen to the full episode (XYBM 156) from this clip, search for the title: "Ep. 156: How to Heal When Your Mind Is Working Against You with Rwenshaun" — it was released on May 11, 2026. In XYBM 156, we sit down with Rwenshaun Miller, a therapist who has lived on both sides of the therapy couch. He breaks down the real face of bipolar disorder — far beyond the mood-swing myths — through the lens of his own diagnosis at 19, three su-c-de attempts spanning seven years, and a battle with alcohol that nearly cost him everything, all while graduating from UNC on an academic scholarship and walking onto a Division I football and track team.         This is a must-watch for anyone who has ever looked “high-functioning” on the outside while quietly struggling on the inside.         For the athletes, the overachievers, the men battling in silence, and the people trying to support someone they love through mental health challenges… this conversation is going to hit different.
