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,
