7 Keys for Working Successfully with Men in Therapy Part 1 Workshop with James Hawes
This workshop and training will help the practitioner have greater awareness and knowledge to work with men more effectively.
More men than ever are attending therapy and asking for help with mental health problems and yet while therapy may offer a supportive environment many men are turned off by this ‘foreign’ environment. When men do attend, they can occasionally encounter a lack of understanding and empathy leaving them confused and unsure whether to return.
Gender socialization and stigma often prevents men from seeking support, many men have learnt that to show vulnerable emotions is weak and shameful. This process has taught them to restrict these emotions. The unwritten ‘male rules’ have resulted in men living with inner dis-ease contributing to the following issues:
• Three-quarters of suicides in the UK are by men
• Men are far less likely than women to seek help with medical problems.
• Depression occurs as often in men as in women, but women are twice as likely to be diagnosed and treated.
• One in nine adult men is dependent on alcohol; men are three times more likely than women to be alcohol dependent.
• Schizophrenia tends to have an earlier onset in men and is associated with poorer outcomes than in women.
