Dr. Rick Hanson recently sat down to watch the new Netflix series Adolescence… and ten minutes in, he got the buzz.
From Rick: One of the scenes in Adolescence shows a grieving father being told to “suck it up.”
As a psychologist, I see this as more than just a passing line — it's a reflection of the deep, often unspoken messaging many boys and men receive: “Don’t feel. Don’t show. Be strong.”
We’re all swimming in these cultural scripts — and they shape how we process pain, connection, and identity. Let’s unpack it together. Have you watched the series? We're curious to hear your thoughts!
