Why More Men Are Choosing Counseling
Redefining Strength
Traditionally, men have been told to be self-reliant, deny difficult emotions, and just tough it out. Seeking help, especially getting therapy, has been seen as a weakness.
Times have changed, but the stigma of men going to therapy is still there.
There’s a myth that therapy is about crying or discussing your childhood. Hey, nothing wrong with that, but therapy is also about facing your problems and developing a concrete plan to improve your life.
Therapy is about getting stronger - mentally, emotionally and relationally.
Being Your Authentic Self
What does it mean to be authentic, and who defines this? These are the questions men are faced with today.
Men get mixed messages from society and the media. On the one hand, they’re supposed to be tough and not ask for help. On the other hand, men are told to “be vulnerable.”
So how can men define their own lives? Can they be confident and independent, while at the same time ask for help?
Of course. You don't have to define yourself by other people's standards.
Expanding Beyond Your Limits
You can grow far beyond what you think is possible. Just because you’re not where you want to be today doesn’t mean you can’t grow into your future.
Do you want better relationships, more emotional satisfaction, and greater confidence?
You can have all of this. It starts with the courage to make a change, the decision to reach out for help, and the resolve to do the work.
You are capable of creating a better life for yourself. Why not get started today?
