Not opening up is an epidemic among men.
You wonder what happened to your friends. They were your buddies in school – the ones you stayed up with late into the night, bullshitting and laughing.
It’s been a while since you felt connected with other guys.
And then, your head quakes at the thought of talking about what’s happening inside your head.
“Do I matter?”
Many guys never really learned how to get their needs met in life. Sure, you can provide for your family and have a job and house, but things feel – empty.
Since you survived the trauma, it’s like living your life with happiness on mute. The anxiety dials up to 11. You’re numb or angry a lot.
You don’t open up to people in your life. You feel convinced that talking about your past will leave you broken and feeling judged. And maybe it’s happened before with friends and family.
Isolation promotes stinking thinking.
When times get tough, maybe you lean on your significant other. But you’re worried you’re putting too much on them. So, you start to worry or try to problem solve. You white-knuckle through the stress or try to kill it with a six-pack. You don’t know where things went wrong.
And despite your best efforts, you never feel like you measure up. You see people who have profoundly authentic and nourishing relationships and think they must have hit the lotto.
I’m here to tell you that you can have that, too.
You can learn how to build healthy relationships.
It pays off to be with men who understand what it’s like to try to be the rock, only to feel like they’re crumbling on the inside.
Men’s group therapy can help you build a life around your values, strengths, and interests – allowing you to develop healthy communication. This group focuses on men who want to reclaim their happiness and are ready to take that step.
We’ll dig into issues around Communication, Trust, Healthy Relationships and Sexuality, Anger, Shame, and Loss. You’ll look at your assumptions about yourself and the world.
Take back your life!
You might have waited a while to start therapy. And honestly, I give you credit for even looking.
The thought of therapy can feel scary, but you don’t have to do it alone.
Opening up to other men about how you feel on the inside helps remove feelings of inadequacy, isolation, and not measuring up.
Join our groups and learn that you are not alone. Others want to hear your story and tell their stories.
