The New Masculine

Nathaniel Amos- Son, Lover, Friend

Episode Summary

On this episode, Travis talks with fellow social worker and mental health provider, Nathaniel Amos. Nathaniel identifies as a son, as a lover, and as a friend. He firmly believes that we as men can no longer rely on the women in our lives to do our emotional labor for us. In his work as a psychotherapist, he helps men develop the emotional literacy that is rarely taught to men in our culture. Nathaniel further helps Travis explore what is often a confusing intersection for gay men between their own masculinity and the common wounds gay men experience at the hands of outdated masculinity. Together, they share the importance of doing internal work to integrate these wounding experiences so that queer male communities do not replicate the challenges of traditional masculinity that this conversation seeks to disrupt.
