In this episode of the Men Seeking Calm podcast, explores Overgeneralization — a type of faulty thinking where one bad moment is exaggerated into a total truth.

It’s the mental habit of thinking “She snapped at me — she always does,” or “We argued — our relationship must be falling apart.”

Greg explains how this distorted thinking turns single events into sweeping judgments, disconnecting men from growth, intimacy, and reality.

Rooted in old trauma or fear, overgeneralization can lead men to label themselves or their partners unfairly, turning everyday conflict into emotional catastrophes.

The antidote? Challenge the “always” and “never,” reframe thoughts, and see the grey areas where love and nuance live. With warmth and humour, Greg reminds listeners that relationships are like weather — not every storm means it’s over.

In this episode of the Men Seeking Calm podcast, Greg Martin explores the trap of All-or-Nothing Thinking — a rigid, black-and-white mindset where every mistake feels like total failure and every disagreement signals doom.

In intimate relationships, this thinking shows up as harsh self-judgment and polarizing assumptions like “If I can’t fix this, I’m useless,” or “She’s upset — our relationship must be over.”

Greg breaks down 10 vivid examples and highlights how this faulty thinking creates shame, disconnection, and emotional shutdown.

But there’s hope — the antidote is finding the middle ground. Through humour and real talk, Greg invites men to drop the drama, embrace emotional complexity, and replace perfectionism with presence.

It’s okay to be imperfect. You’re not a villain or a hero — just a bloke figuring it out. For more insights on anger, relationships, and emotional resilience,

In this episode of the Men Seeking Calm podcast, Greg Martin explores “Frozen in Conflict” — a shutdown response many men have when facing tough conversations.

Whether it’s criticism, shame, or unresolved anger issues, this reaction can look like silence, withdrawal, or emotional disconnection. Often rooted in emotional flooding, depression as anger, or fear of escalation, this leads to unresolved anger problems and broken connection.

For many men and fathers, this can compound anger outbursts, hurt relationships, and leave partners feeling abandoned.

This episode offers a compassionate roadmap to deal with conflict instead of avoiding it — one monkey off your back at a time.
