Top 5 benefits of therapy for men
1. Connecting to your emotions
The one thing men are not taught to do. Suicide rates and addiction in men are sky high, causation, correlation? Maybe. What we do know is better knowing your internal emotions leads to better outcomes in nearly every aspect of life. Want to land that job? Find your ideal partner? Start here.
2. Relationships
Relationships have a way of pinpointing our soft spots, our shame, our feelings of inadequacy. Are you looking for a relationship? Do you need help communicating in your current one? Explore and understand your values so you can find your potential mate. Master communication to better your relationships now and form new fulfilling ones.
3. Guys talking about guy stuff.
We all need a pack, a team to connect with — our squad. Men share many similar experiences in the world, and we have to talk it out with the boys. The problem now is how disconnected men are and the belief that showing emotions is weakness.
4. Alcohol/Addictive behaviors.
Are you drinking more than you’d like on the weekends? Are you not digging the amount of porn you’re consuming? These may be symptoms of negative core beliefs and unhealthy ways of coping with emotions. Therapy can help get you to the root cause of these actions, then you decide if you keep them.
5. Self-Improvement
Therapy doesn’t have to be for a problem it can be used to increase performance in a variety of areas. How much more effective could you be in life when you feel you understand and can control your internal state. A deeper knowledge of your unique skillset and talents will allow you to employ them effectively to better your career and your passions.
