Mens Health is in the news for all the wrong reasons. Men are too proud or embarrassed to reach out for support. Thankfully, society’s views have changed.

From an early age, men are told to suck it up and get on with it. Recent statistics confirm that men are struggling with making sense of their childhood.

We take lessons and experiences from our childhood into our adult lives and sometimes making sense of the most innocuous situations can be extremely stressful.

Boys were bullied and had no idea how to manage their emotions. These boys became men and had no skills being assertive and lacked self esteem.

In his book The Wounded Male – Steven Farmer states  “Traditionally masculinity is a straitjacket that forces men to repress their emotions under an  I can handle it façade”.

ABOUT YOUR COUNSELLOR
