Men’s Issues

Somewhere along the way… that drive died off.

And duty took over.

There’s no longer any joy.

With your nose to the grindstone, you waste away, missing out on the great adventures of this life.

You’re doing everything by the book, but it’s a book without meaning.

You barely see your family, and they’re missing you.

Traveling for work is more of a drag than a perk. You don’t actually see the places you go. It’d be nice occasionally to pause and enjoy the world around you: A good cup of coffee, a mountain view.

You spend so much of your time working toward someone else’s goals that you’ve lost touch with what is really important to you. You want to leave your mark on the world, not someone else’s.

Your mind tells you, “Keep powering forward on your own. Push a little further, a little harder. It’ll get better.” That approach has only ever left you more empty. When nothing changes, your mind hits you hard with, “You’re a failure.”

It’s difficult to ask for help. That’s why we don’t do it!

Men suffer from higher rates of suicide, are more likely to abuse alcohol and other substances, experience lower rates of life satisfaction, and are more likely to be the victim of a violent crime.

Sadly, men are also much less likely to seek professional help.

You don’t talk about your feelings. And if you do, your mind tells you that you’re weak, feminine, inadequate, or worthless. You’re expected to be dominant, and in control, so you can’t ask for help.

Plus, societal expectations get in the way. You’ve been led to believe that real men don’t feel. In fact, you may have been operating under that paradigm for so long that you’re no longer able to recognize the feelings you experience!

When you’ve been told that counseling is for women and weak men – that you don’t need to talk with someone – that you just need to figure it out yourself… well, it’s no surprise that you’re “not interested” in therapy.

And beyond “not interested,” I bet your mind jumped right in and said, “Just talking about your feelings isn’t going to help a damn thing.”

Well, I agree: JUST talking won’t solve your problems.

Let’s do more than just talk. Let’s work together to find solutions that actually work.

We’ll confront your mind as it tells you things like “You’re insignificant, you’re weak, you don’t measure up” and find the wounds those messages came from.

In healing from those wounds, you’ll no longer be controlled by destructive behaviors but free to make choices that serve your values.

With that control regained, then we can take action.

We’ll develop tangible ways for you to live meaningfully as a man who is in control, free to look up from the grindstone and evaluate whether your efforts serve your values, to choose how you live your life.

You want to be a better father, better husband… a better man.

Even as your mind is resisting the idea of taking this next step, I urge you to fight back courageously. Don’t let your mind keep you from living a meaningful life.
