Скачать или смотреть Therapy For Men: Mental Health and Masculinity

I've been a therapist for nearly a decade, and as both a man who has attended therapy and who provides therapy for men, mental health and masculinity was quite an interesting topic to put my thoughts together on. In this episode, I'll explore the 'masculinity to mental health spectrum' and discuss why therapy can feel like enemy territory for some men while others find it insightful. I delve into the complexity of masculinity and its impact on therapy, breaking down four unwritten rules of masculinity—bring home the bacon, be the mountain, don't think pink, and guns are great—which influence men's mental health and their willingness to seek therapy. Whether you're considering therapy or a therapist working with male clients, understanding these rules can be crucial for therapeutic success. I'll provide some insights and practical tips on navigating this topic
