What are Men's Issues in Counseling?
Men tend to experience certain issues more than other such as anger management, substance abuse, impulse control problems and problems with intimacy. These issues may escalate during a crisis or transitional situation. Men in our society our expected not to express their feelings, but to deal with issues in a rational or logical way and our taught that being vulnerable is a bad thing. When emotions are not handled in a healthy manner or denied, other behaviors can manifest, such as additions, compulsions and avoidance. Some men feel safer expressing anger rather than hurt, preferring to work longer hours to avoid situations at home or utilizing addictions and compulsions to numb feelings.
Counseling offers the opportunity to explore and discuss these issues in a safe environment. Counseling can provide you with the skills needed to assist you in what will work while providing accountability and support. Many men find that they are more comfortable, more accepted and able to talk more freely to a male therapist. I have experience providing supportive counseling to a diverse male clientele. Men's counseling can be a coaching process that focuses on action and results. You can go to men's counseling alone or go with your wife or partner, whichever is more comfortable for you.
