A Guide to Therapy: For Men
Talk Therapy is one of the most effective and widely used treatments for depression. But for many guys, there are a lot of unknowns about what therapy actually is, and this can get in the way of them connecting with a therapist and getting their health back in gear.
Therapy is:
- Non-judgemental
- Confidential
- An opportunity to get an outside/objective perspective (from someone not in your social circle, a friend, or family member)
- A space for you to just be yourself and share what you can’t with others in your life
- Where you develop new skills and strategies for living well
- Where you can get support without any strings attached (you don’t have to help your therapist out in return for them helping you, or worry about saying something wrong, like you may if you were getting help from a friend or family member)
- Where you can actually let yourself feel – maybe for the first time in years
For many guys, therapy is life changing and helps them get closer to becoming the person they want to be – a stronger and healthier version of themselves.
