Men’s Issues

You’re sick and tired of being sick and tired.

Endless irritation. Endless resentment. Endless pressure. Why won’t they just listen?!?

You so wanted to be the Mr. Rogers of dads. And you try so hard to be nice – to keep calm – but there you go. Flying off the handle, you find yourself yelling – again.

Sometimes, it honestly feels like they’re all working against you.

Finances are shaky, love and romance have flown (you wouldn’t know Cupid if he broke his bow on your head), and the kids show you no respect.

In these hard times, you’ve got basically two emotions: anger and frustration.

All you want is a little – just a little – appreciation.

You’re doing everything you possibly can to make a good life for your family. You buy dinners, you make plans for date nights, you buy her nice things.

Yet all you hear from her is, “You won’t let me in.”

You wish you knew what she meant.

When she says stuff like that, it’s like she’s toying with you, just deliberately trying to make you feel bad. How are you supposed to respond to that?

There’s more to being a man than just getting things done.

It would be nice to get in touch with a more caring side of yourself, to find Mr. Rogers again, but it feels odd.

Would revealing that vulnerability weaken you? If you let down your guard, even just a little bit, would things spiral out of control?

It would be so nice to be the kind, caring dad you’ve always wanted to be. But can you do that and still hold your kids to standards?

You wonder – is that even possible?

As men, we’re not expected to know how to connect emotionally with people. Our male role models use violence and aggression to get things done.

Think about it – when was the last time you saw a movie where the hero didn’t use violence to achieve his goal?

These stories about how men “should be” influence how we are – with the people we love most. But rarely do we experience a feeling of accomplishment by connecting with our emotions.

We can turn that process on its head.

Those experiences are out there. They’re personal. They’re possible. They’re real. And you can enjoy them – through therapy.
