Therapy and Coaching for Men

“A man does not die of love or his liver or even of old age; he dies of being a man.” — Miguel de Unamuno

We learned early how to “be a man.”

Growing up as young boys, we saw that our fathers and grandfathers knew how to be MEN. Or at least that’s what it seemed like.

They may have been “men of few words,” but the few words spoken were specific instructions to make sure you knew how to grow into a MAN.

“Work hard.” “Be tough.” “Provide for your family.” “Find a good woman.”

Sound familiar?

When “being a man” still leaves an emptiness inside…

So, you did those things… did them well… and now you have made a good life for your family. You have the career, bring home the bacon, and spend time playing with your children.

But for some reason, something doesn’t feel right. There’s an emptiness – a lack of feeling like a whole person.

You look in the mirror and try to convince yourself that you are fulfilled, but you don’t know what it is like to feel happy.

Exploring emotions isn’t always our strong suit…

We men suffer from stress, depression, and anxiety.

But we’re not always emotionally available to ourselves in a way that lets us explore how we really feel. Instead, we often try to “fix it” in ways that only bring short-term relief.

Not taking care of ourselves emotionally then makes us emotionally unavailable to our loved ones.

If you often find yourself angry or short-tempered…

Having difficulty managing your relationships…

Drinking too much…

Or having heard from important people in your life say that you “don’t know how to express yourself…”

It is time to find solutions to these problems.

Unfortunately, men often resist getting help.

If you know men who are suffering, you know that getting them to realize that they need help is usually not easy.

They might be in denial… telling you nothing is wrong.

Only when they are ready and realize their need will they seek help.

Let’s work together to be better men.

As a young boy, you probably weren’t taught to speak about your feelings and recognize how powerful our emotions can be.

To no fault of his own, my father didn’t teach me how to or encourage talk about emotions. He hadn’t been taught either! I didn’t learn the value of or how to until I was in my 20s!

I imagine that you weren’t encouraged to explore your feelings as a young boy either…

But ensuring our mental and emotional well-being makes us better MEN.

It’s time to be the fun, connected MAN that your loved ones deserve! Give me a call, and let’s get started today: (657) 345-4681
