Friction between our internal reality and the external world is often a significant source of stress in our lives. Who we are is often the source of our greatest strengths, but it can also leave us feeling unseen or invalidated by the world around us. These experiences can lead to feeling unseen, invalidated, or threatened by our families, communities, or society as a whole. Depression, anxiety, and other feelings are the natural result. Despite this, our sense of self and our identities may guide us to developing our lives so they reflect the way we want to live.

Most of the issues we face every day are not pathological—they are not the result of mental illness—but rather just a part of life. These include questions about what career to pursue, or how to deal with a relationship issue, or how to find meaning in your life, or cope with the loss of a loved one, or resolve an ethical dilemma or to get clear on what fundamental values one holds or ought to hold.

I grew up in Jamaica with my mother and grandmother, and I remember witnessing them offering informal social work and therapy to many persons in need within our community. They were the kind of people others turned to for assistance, resources, advice, a listening ear, and a dose of reality. Their genuine concern and openness taught me therapy doesn't begin in an office; it starts with authentic human connection. I learned that it is important to understand our clients' diverse backgrounds so they can find a sanctuary where respect, honesty, and professionalism reign.

Men's Issues Therapists

Is therapy for men different than it is for women?

Therapeutic treatments and types are the same for men as they are for women, with the same protocols followed and the same strategies employed. Discussing one’s feelings and emotions is an integral part of most therapies, and some men find doing so more challenging. Therapists can help clients through the process; some specialize in treating men for this reason.

How do you encourage a man to go to therapy?

It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either himself or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.

How can men prepare for therapy?

Men can prepare for therapy by approaching the process with an open mind, being willing to talk about their challenges, and giving treatment the time to work. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. It can be useful for men who struggle to recall their emotional states to write down notes between sessions about their response to a given event or how they were feeling at a particular time.

What should men know about the process of therapy?

One of the most common reasons men don’t seek therapy is the notion that there’s something wrong with them if they do. Men should know that just because they’re seeking therapy doesn’t mean they’re mentally ill or damaged in some way. In the same way people work on their bodies through exercise or a craft through practice, therapy can be a way to improve the mental and emotional skills needed to be productive and effective partners, employees, and people in all realms of life.
