Growing up as a man in society brings unique gender, gender norms, and gender expression problems. Western culture brings with it sometimes unhelpful messages about masculinity: that men must be tough, not show emotions, enact violence, and gain power and status. Men are less likely to seek out mental health therapists than other genders. Men must recognize seeking treatment for mental health concerns doesn’t make them less masculine or manly. It implies that they acknowledge that their health is vital.
Available Treatment Options
Counselors can help men work through the hesitancy to talk about mental health within therapy sessions. Some men may benefit from seeing a therapist who also identifies as a man, as the shared knowledge of the impact of their gender can facilitate the healing process.

From pouring a glass of water to playing piano, driving to work and checking our smart phones, so much of what we do is habit. The more iterations we perform, the more engrained it becomes.

It becomes a reaction rather than a response. My...

There's a strong, wise presence in us all - guiding our best actions. Sometimes we forget, doubt, reject this. Abuse, abandonment/neglect, trauma may have led to beliefs we're deficient, flawed - even deserving mistreatment and pain. Maybe we've been told - or heard - we must do or be certain things for love and acceptance. _______________________________________ Perhaps you're in touch with yo...
