NATIONAL MEN'S HEALTH MONTH BREAKING THE SILENCE: BLACK MEN, MENTAL HEALTH & THE WEIGHT OF NEGATIVE ENERGY BY JOSH PELTIER
Healing Through Energy Work and Emotional Awareness Mental health support can take many forms: therapy, coaching, brotherhood circles, meditation, movement. One powerful approach is energy life coaching—a method that combines open conversation with practices that release stuck energy from the body and mind. This kind of healing work allows Black men to: Express what they’ve been holding in Understand the emotional roots of their struggles Release trapped energy through breath, meditation, and intention Reconnect with their own wisdom and voice This is about more than feeling better—it’s about becoming whole again. Redefining Strength Strength is not how much you can carry—it’s knowing when to set things down. It’s taking time to rest, reflect, and recharge. It’s choosing growth over survival. It’s speaking truth over silence. In a society that often sees Black men as unbreakable, we must redefine what resilience truly means. Vulnerability, self-awareness, and emotional healing are not signs of weakness—they are tools of liberation.
To Every Black Man Reading This: You deserve to be seen. You deserve to be heard. You deserve to be free from the weight of unspoken pain. Your healing is sacred. Your peace is powerful.
And your story is not over—it’s evolving. Let’s talk. Let’s release. Let’s transform.
