Therapy for Men

It’s hard for men to openly express their feelings.

Most men don’t consider themselves to be emotional. The world is not a friendly place to men who are emotional.

The problem is that emotion is the currency of relationships. To have successful relationships with the people who matter most, it’s necessary to be able to access and articulate what you’re feeling.

Anger may be the only emotion that men can express effectively.

In most cases, we learned how to throw a football and change the oil in the car, but we never learned how to acknowledge fear, sadness, or any other difficult emotions – with the exception of anger.

In fact, we do anger well. Sometimes too well.

You may fail to connect even to those you love.

Periodically, she’ll ask, “What are you thinking about?” We immediately say, “Nothing.”

What she doesn’t know is that “nothing” means “I’m scared” or “I’m disappointed in myself” or “If I told you what I was thinking, you wouldn’t understand.”

She’s asking because she wants to connect with you. You want to connect with her, too; you just don’t know how.

Lack of emotion is another form of bankruptcy.

I understand that men HATE being broke. We see ourselves as providers.

But if emotion is currency, then sadly we don’t always have enough to take care of the people around us.

Manly appearances can be deceiving.

Men are emotional.

We may be less expressive, but there’s a lot happening inside – and not everyone gets to see what’s really going on inside.

Perhaps you need a safe place where emotions can flow.

I know you can’t talk to everybody about what happened to you growing up or about the things that worry you.

But I also know it’s affecting you, and now it’s hard to be the man, the dad, or the partner you really want to be.

I want to help you get past it instead of stuffing it down.

You will have a safe and confidential place where open communication can occur.
