In today’s world, many men are caught between two versions of masculinity: the traditional model, focused on power and hierarchy, and a modern approach centered on partnership and emotional connection. This conflict can feel overwhelming, making it essential for men to seek clarity and growth through therapy.
Most men are conditioned to suppress their emotions, leading to a struggle with emotional literacy. Phrases like "man up" reinforce the idea that vulnerability is a weakness and thus men feel like they have to respond to emotions just like their father by stuffing it or only expressing it when angry. When faced with challenges—like job changes, relationship issues, or mental health struggles—many men find it difficult to process their feelings. Instead of addressing their emotions, they often turn to self-medication through alcohol, porn, or other distractions. This avoidance can spiral into destructive habits, leaving them feeling isolated and frustrated.
