"When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves"
In order to have fulfilling relationships with ourselves and loved ones, we as men have to know ourselves deeply. This means being able to turn toward the challenging places in us and face them with curiosity. When we struggle to do this, we can feel frustration, confusion and even shame.
My work with men helps to create an updated version of masculinity that includes having deeper access to our feelings so we can be more present and available in our lives, especially in relationships with the people who matter most. Learning how to do this can feel daunting, especially when we have been trained to ‘conquer’ discomfort with control, problem-solving and avoidance. But change is possible with the right kind of support!
Therapy is a place where men can feel witnessed and supported in a non-judgmental environment while exploring the questions “Who am I?”, “Why do I feel this way?” and “How can I be more of the person I want to be?”
