The Power of Being Seen: Why Every Man Needs a Witness

What does it mean to be truly seen?

In this intimate episode of 13 Minutes, host B HaLevi welcomes lifelong friend, mentor, and psychologist Yochai, joining from Israel, to explore a powerful truth: every human being needs a witness.

Together, they reflect on their personal journey — from a rabbi–psychologist relationship to a brotherhood built on trust, vulnerability, and deep listening. Their conversation centers on the shift from being the “sage on the stage” to the transformational work of presence and connection.

Yochai highlights the contrast between macro-purpose and micro-awareness — how men often chase large visions yet overlook the small, sacred details that make life meaningful. He shares how witnessing someone’s inner world can be more impactful than trying to fix or guide them.

The episode also explores the cultural and emotional landscape of Israel, a country where community, responsibility, and shared meaning shape identity. They discuss how agency, belonging, and social cohesion may contribute to lower suicide rates, offering a profound perspective on how purpose protects life.

Together, B and Yochai dive into:

-The life-changing role of being witnessed

-Why listening is an act of love

-The tension between ambition and presence

-How community shapes masculine resilience

-Lessons from Israel on meaning and mental health

This episode is an invitation to slow down, connect, and remember that life’s most transformative work often happens in quiet moments of shared presence.
