Manage My Emotions: The Live Deep Dive Free · Saturday, October 17 · 12 to 4 PM ET · Live on Zoom School taught you algebra. Nobody taught you what to do with the anger that shows up the minute you walk in the door. Most of us were never given a user’s manual for our emotions. So we stay on autopilot. We snap at the people we love most. We say “fine” when it isn’t. We numb out with scrolling, working, or one more drink. And we carry decades of unresolved hurts that still quietly run the show. Emotions aren’t a personality trait. They’re a skill, and skills can be learned. Join me, Dr. Ken Martz, licensed psychologist and author of the international bestseller Manage My Emotions, for four hours of hands-on training. This isn’t a lecture. You’ll do the work live, with notebook in hand. You’ll walk away with: ✔️ A way to spot what you’re feeling in your body before it hijacks you ✔️ Words for 50+ emotions, not just “mad,” “sad,” and “stressed” ✔️ The Five Elements map, showing which emotion is stuck in you right now ✔️ Practical tools for fear, anger, joy, compassion, and grief ✔️ Your own If/Then plan, ready to start Monday morning 30 years of clinical practice. Thousands of clients. Featured in TIME, NPR, CBS, NBC, and Business Insider. It’s free, but registration is required: 👉 us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regi… Bring a notebook. Bring an open mind. Leave with a plan. #ManageMyEmotions #EmotionalIntelligence #MentalHealth #AnxietyRelief #DrKenMartz

Thirty years in the making. Today, Unshakable is out in the world. I have been a licensed psychologist for over three decades. I have sat with thousands of people in the hardest moments of their lives. I have written nine books. And this one is the one I did not know if I could finish. Not because the words were hard to find. Because the words were true. And true things carry weight. Unshakable is everything I know about what it actually takes for a man to stop performing his way through life and start living it. The emotions underneath the armor. The neuroscience of pressure and performance. The carry-over cycle that quietly depletes the men who look the fullest from the outside. The path from reactive, to regulated, to genuinely free. I wrote this book because I kept meeting men who had everything and felt nothing. Who were succeeding by every external measure and privately wondering if this was all there was. This book is my answer to that question. It would not exist without the community that shaped it. The questions asked. The stories shared. The moments when something landed and someone took the time to tell me so. Your fingerprints are on these pages even if your name is not. Today the ebook is just $0.99. If you know a man who is carrying more than he should and saying less than he feels, put this in his hands. Grab your copy on Amazon: amazon.com/dp/B0H8WNYQYP And if something in it stays with you, write me back. I still read every one.

The Announcement that Wasn't I've been writing something for two years that I almost didn't write. Not because the material was hard to assemble. After 30 years of clinical work with thousands of men, the material was the easy part. I almost didn't write it because it required me to put on paper the thing men are least willing to say out loud: panic. Not stress. Not pressure. Panic. The 3am heart pound. The meeting where your chest locks up and you perform through it anyway. The thing you've never told anyone, including your doctor, including your wife. Here's what I've learned sitting across from successful, respected, high-functioning men for three decades: panic doesn't care about your resume. And the men who carry it usually carry it completely alone, because admitting it feels like it would cost them everything they've built. I wrote a book for those men. It's called Unshakable. I'll tell you more soon. For now, one question, and answer it honestly, even if only to yourself: what's the feeling you've never said out loud? #Unshakable #MensMentalHealth #PanicAttacks #AnxietyInMen #NewBook #DrKenMartz #HighPerformers #MentalHealthAwareness #ComingSoon #3AM

I am going to be honest with you about something. I have been working on a book called Unshakable for a long time. It is the book I have been building toward for thirty years of clinical practice. Everything I know about what it takes for a man to stop white-knuckling through life and start actually living it. And I am at the stage where I need your help. I am looking for beta readers. People who know this work, who have been part of this community, who will read the manuscript and tell me the truth about what lands and what does not. Here is the full ask: (mix and match as you are willing) Give me your honest private feedback on the manuscript. Be willing to buy a copy when it releases. Leave an honest Amazon review when it is out. And please, if there is a story I have told you, a quote that stayed with you, a moment from a session or a group or an email that changed something for you, send it to me. Those are the stories that belong in this book. I may have told it once and moved on without knowing it mattered. Comment below or send me a message if you are in. This community is in this book whether you know it or not. Help me finish it right. #Drken #Unshakable #Menswork #emotionalmanagement

You look successful. You are successful. But what no one sees is what it’s costing you. The pressure to hold it all together. The nights you can’t sleep because your mind won’t shut off. The way you snap, numb out, or quietly shut down because the weight is just too much. That’s anxiety. Not weakness. Not failure. Just your body and mind saying: “I can’t keep living like this. ”I help high-performing men break through the overwhelm and reconnect with clarity, strength, and emotional peace, without blowing up their lives. And I want to share what works. If you’re ready to stop silently struggling and start feeling unshakable, send me a message or drop a comment. I’ll personally connect with you and share the first steps. You’re not broken. You’re just overdue for a better way. You can also schedule a free strategy session with me to get started right away. calendly.com/drkenmartz/stra… #DrKen #leadership #emotionalintelligence #unshakable #menswork

Words as Strength A lot of men think: “If I can’t explain what’s going on, I’ll just handle it myself.” But that silence creates distance. And distance creates misunderstanding. The real strength is this: Being able to say what’s happening inside of you. Before resentment builds before anger erupts before the relationship starts to feel like two strangers living side by side. Connection requires communication. Not perfect words. Not long speeches. Just the courage to express what’s true. Men aren’t failing at feelings. We’re learning a new language. And together, we can get fluent, for all our relationships.

“Isolation is the killer. Brotherhood is the cure.” Too many men are silently drowning in isolation. They carry the weight alone, convinced no one would understand, or worse, that no one wants to. We’ve been conditioned to believe that asking for support is weakness. That strength means silence. But isolation doesn’t make us strong, it erodes us from the inside out. You don’t need to fight this battle alone. In my men’s group, you’ll find the brotherhood that heals isolation: a space to be real, tools to manage stress, and connection that lasts. 👉 DM me the word UNSHAKABLE and I’ll send you details. #DrKen #UnshakableMen #BrotherhoodAsMedicine #MensMentalHealth #StrengthInConnection

I look successful, but no one knows... Finish this sentence in the comments, anonymously if you need to: "I look successful, but no one knows that I ___." No judgment in this space. Just men being honest about what's behind the curtain. The version of you everyone sees, and the version of you that exists at 11pm when the house is quiet, are often two different men. That gap is where the work begins. I read every comment. You're not as alone in this as the algorithm wants you to feel. #MensMentalHealth #BehindTheSuccess #RealTalk #DrKen #Unshakable #MenSupportingMen #VulnerabilityIsStrength #SilentStruggle #HighFunctioningAnxiety #BreakTheStigma

Leadership isn’t just about vision—it’s about trust. Trust isn’t a trait—it’s a practice. 💬 Which of these do you see most often—and which do you wish more leaders embodied? #TrustInLeadership #UnshakableMen #LeadWithIntegrity #LeadershipMatters #Mindf...

Is the Victim Mindset Running Your Life? Are you addicted to the victim mindset? It might not look like self-pity. It might sound like: “This always happens to me.” “They never listen.” “What’s the point in trying?” Here’s the truth: Just like we learned to play basketball or memorize our times tables… We learned negative mindsets. We practiced them. Sometimes for years. But anything learned can be unlearned. Anything practiced can be rewired. You don’t have to stay stuck in old stories. You’re not fragile. You’re powerful. You’ve just been practicing the wrong narrative for too long. 📩 DM me the word SHIFT if you’re ready to stop rehearsing powerlessness and start rewriting your story—one thought at a time. #VictimMindset #UnshakableMen #MindsetShift #EmotionalStrength #MentalFitness #MensMentalHealth #RewriteYourStory #InnerWork #StopPlayingSmall #Lead
