    Join Dan and guest Andy Drewitt in this eye-opening podcast as they delve into the complexities of emotional masking, aggression, and anxiety. Drawing inspiration from Andy Drewitt's thought-provoking article 'How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Making Penis Ladders' as well as his upcoming exhibition 'THIS IS YOUR FAULT', we explore the different types of masking behaviors that lead to emotional blowouts.

    They discuss the challenges of acting tough and masking pain or anxiety with a facade of calmness. They also delve into how cultural and societal norms influence aggressive behavior and the unique struggles faced by neurodivergent individuals in expressing their emotions.

    From the unsettling experience of not understanding or communicating feelings to the alarming rates of suicide among those on the autism spectrum, this podcast will shed light on these critical issues. We'll also offer insights on choosing a kinder path to self-understanding and dismantling the scaffold of fear and shame.

    Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of how aggression often stems from self-directed emotions and learn strategies for managing anxiety and emotional turmoil in healthier ways.
