  • 306. The Surprising Reason You’re Still Stuck (And How to Break Free)
    Apr 16 2025
    Today, we seem to spend so much time, energy, and effort chasing insight. Almost anytime that you engage in psychotherapy or counseling, someone will inevitably bring up the idea of having to look into your childhood to figure out why you do what you do. The idea seems to be that we need insight to facilitate change. We seem to think that we can figure out why we do what we do, and then we will be better able to change it. And sometimes, we have light bulb moments. We all love those light bulb moments—but what if they don’t lead to change? In this episode of The Joe Martino Show, Joe unpacks why insight without behavior change is worthless. He challenges the idea that understanding alone is enough, and instead, explores how real transformation happens when we start doing things differently. If you’ve ever wondered why you stay stuck despite knowing better, this episode is for you. Expect practical questions to help you shift from insight to action, and finally move forward.

  • 304. Men Grieving; Cognitive Distortions and Navigating Our Messy World
    Apr 2 2025
    Welcome to Episode 304 of The Joe Martino Show. Today, we're going to continue a topic that doesn't get enough attention—men grieving. Grief is hard enough, but for men, it's often complicated by cultural expectations and personal struggles. Too many guys hear, “Man up” instead of, “How are you holding up?” When called out, one wife responded to say that those calling her out were wrong. Let’s be honest, our world is messy. People are hurting, but instead of listening, we often get caught in cognitive distortions—filtering reality through our pain and assumptions. Some folks even get mad that this podcast isn’t just their perspective on the world. That’s not how growth works. We need honest, messy conversations to navigate life, and that’s what we’re doing today. Let’s talk about it.
