You Might Be Here If…
Let's talk about the F-word....Feelings. A part of you wants to go there but you also know that men are supposed to be strong. You have learned that you are definitely not suppose to talk about your feelings. Yet, because you are not talking about how you feel, you stuff these feelings down. You do not ask for what you need, so your feelings tend to be more reactionary.
What Brings Men to Therapy
A lot of men aren’t lacking emotion or empathy - they’re lacking experience, language, and a way to process what’s actually going on.
You might be:
- Holding things in until they come out sideways.
- Feeling pressure to stay in control or “handle it.”
- Struggling to explain what’s going on internally.
- Disconnecting in relationships without meaning to.
Therapy here is about identifying that internal experience, building an understanding what you need to do, then putting in the reps to practice. To feel different you need to do different.
What We Work On
- Understanding emotions and feelings without overcomplicating them.
- Building language and diversifying what you’re experiencing.
- Recognizing the cues and patterns such as shutting down, avoidance, or frustration.
- Improving communication across personal and professional relationships.
- Identify and reduce internal and external pressure and stress.
Common Outcomes
- Clearer understanding of what matters to you.
- Confidence with your internal experience.
- Confidence expressing yourself.
- Better communication in relationships.
- Productive ways to manage the buildup of stress or frustration.
How This Is Different
This isn’t about sitting in awkward silence or being told what you're not doing.
It's about identifying how you want to show up and then working together to make it happen.
It’s a collaborative process where we:
- Focus on what matters - your values.
- Review the game-tape to review what's going on.
- Break down real-life situations and seek to understand the opportunities.
- Exchange insights to identify new ways of responding.
The opportunity is developing the "reps" to build practical change and sustainable behavior, not just insight.
