FIELDWORK
Exploring Culture and The Mind Together
WHY FIELDWORK
In psychology, we’re often taught to study emotion, cognition, trauma, and behavior through frameworks and theories. But FIELDWORK begins with a different assumption:
that the mind cannot be understood in isolation from the world and culture that shaped it.
Culture teaches us what to feel, what to hide, and what it means to survive. It shapes silence, grief, masculinity, love, expression, and even healing itself. Yet most mental health models strip context away, and in doing so, they lose the full story.
FIELDWORK brings it back.
We go beyond the clinic and into real communities—exploring the stories people carry through our guiding framework:
-
What We Were Taught
-
What We Needed
-
What It Looks Like to Heal
We created FIELDWORK for the people who were told to tough it out. For the ones who didn’t see themselves in therapy language. For anyone trying to make sense of their mind by tracing where it came from.
This is mental health reimagined through story, culture, and clarity. This is FIELDWORK.
WHAT WE LEARNED
ABOUT: MASCULINITY
In this episode, we sit down with David, a lifelong coach who has trained everyone from neighborhood kids to professional fighters. Through his lens, the boxing gym becomes more than just a place to train and fight, it’s a space where boys, girls, men, and women learn how to carry pain, express discipline, and redefine what it means to be tough. We explore how masculinity is taught, tested, and transformed and dig into the emotional undercurrents of training, mentorship, and healing in a world that often tells men to stay guarded.
