Mental health is improved by accurately communicating how you feel and think.

Brian has worked with hundreds of men who have difficulty in expressing their thoughts and feelings. This has led to his Men Trilogy, where he interviews 60 men, including gender fluid, from all walks of life, aged 14 to 80. Funny, sad and wise revelations lift the lid on why men struggle to identify and express their emotions.

Brian says, ā€œThe e-books to accompany the films will assist you to notice how you may be similar to or different from multi-generational men. Complete a workbook and recognise how learning to safely express these emotions can transform your life".

Our society is in a paradigm shift about what it means to be male. ā€œMen need to be more authentic, self- aware, express a greater range of thoughts and feelings and seek more meaningful connection in relationshipsā€, he explains.

You can watch the films with accompanying e-books by yourselfĀ or in a group. Questionnaires help you to identify those ā€˜feelings we donā€™t talk aboutā€™ and give you tools to better express yourself.

Here's a little more information about each.

Men & Love (2019) chronicles the thoughts of 17 men talking about love. Witness singer songwriter Mike Bradyā€™s life journey ā€“ how heā€™s learned love is more important than anything else, saying ā€˜itā€™s never too lateā€™; Father Peter Maloneā€™s views on love that isnā€™t genital; Associate Professor Warrick Brewer reflecting on the fundamental nature of love in relationships, and why musician Paul Fergus Morris is coy telling his partner what he loves about her.

Men & Anger (2017) details the experiences of 16 men ā€“ including what Executive Director of Orygen Youth Mental Health Services, Professor Patrick McGorry AO; former Victorian Commissioner of Police, Kel Glare AO; and author Ray Mooney ā€“ think about anger and the role it plays in their lives. Ray identifies the need for self-management ā€˜drillsā€™, while others talk about dealing with their fear or shame.

Men & Crying (2014) features the thoughts of 28 men about the taboo subject of crying and what happens when you repress crying. Hear Eric, a young installation artist laugh about how he used crying growing up to get what he wanted, Keith a psychologist in his 60ā€™s who says he has seldom cried, and why most men confess to only crying in movie theatres.

The Trilogy has been aired on Channel 31 TV, and Brian has been interviewed on Channel 7ā€™s Weekend Sunrise and ABC radio.
