We are all resilient people that are amazing at adapting and changing with our environments. When those places are unstable, unsafe or inconsistent, we figure out ways to survive. These patterns or beliefs can soothe us, keep us in control or help us to express ourselves. However for many of us, they can also become a burden and themselves a source of suffering. A complicated mix of discomfort as well as serving a meaningful function. No wonder it’s so hard to make changes, even when we have every good reason to. Taking on these patterns may seem overwhelming, however we can begin anywhere and set goals that makes sense for you.

Being human comes with complexities of great loss, love, curiosities and questions. We may reach a point in their experience where they feel like they are not living as their best and most authentic self. This can leave some feeling depressed, anxious, angry and fearful. As well as having ruminating thoughts, social withdrawal and being overwhelmed by it all. While working alongside a therapist, I believe that you can create a healthier and deeper understanding of the self, learn/practice communication skills, and process trauma to navigate and gain depth and perspective on the complexities of life.

Worry, sadness, and uncertainty are natural responses to feeling you can't control parts of your life. Often regaining control feels like it requires giving up something else, whether it is time with family and friends, your passions, or last night's sleep. While dark humor, caffeine, and willpower may get you far, you shouldn’t have to give up the best parts of your life to just survive. No matter how you got here, you are the expert on yourself. My responsibility is to create a supportive and attentive space where you can gain perspective and resume growth.

Through the stress of everyday life, so many of us have learned to put our needs aside. Often, we ignore them in the service of others, overwhelm, or simply not knowing how to nurture ourselves. By building self-compassion and awareness, I work with clients to help them listen to their minds and bodies. Clients can learn to bring themselves back into alignment, finding peace along the way. Past trauma frequently yields inner beliefs about one’s self and the world that clients are not aware of. Through various techniques that use the body’s own natural processes, I work with clients to allow their minds and bodies to heal themselves.

Men's Issues Therapists

Is therapy for men different than it is for women?

Therapeutic treatments and types are the same for men as they are for women, with the same protocols followed and the same strategies employed. Discussing one’s feelings and emotions is an integral part of most therapies, and some men find doing so more challenging. Therapists can help clients through the process; some specialize in treating men for this reason.

How do you encourage a man to go to therapy?

It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either himself or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.

How can men prepare for therapy?

Men can prepare for therapy by approaching the process with an open mind, being willing to talk about their challenges, and giving treatment the time to work. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. It can be useful for men who struggle to recall their emotional states to write down notes between sessions about their response to a given event or how they were feeling at a particular time.

What should men know about the process of therapy?

One of the most common reasons men don’t seek therapy is the notion that there’s something wrong with them if they do. Men should know that just because they’re seeking therapy doesn’t mean they’re mentally ill or damaged in some way. In the same way people work on their bodies through exercise or a craft through practice, therapy can be a way to improve the mental and emotional skills needed to be productive and effective partners, employees, and people in all realms of life.
