As a man you are taught to be tough, be strong, and be brave. Society tells you, don’t be weak, and never fail. You might feel pressure to look a certain way. You might feel the pressure to financially take care of your family. You were told ‘no pain, no gain’, so you keep pushing on, even when it hurts. You might have even gotten the advice to ‘rub some dirt on it’. You were never taught to take care of your inner feelings.
So when you do struggle, its hard, and you might feel like you have no one to talk to. You feel so much pressure inside. Anger, might be the only emotion you can express sometimes, but you feel more than anger inside. You might feel hurt, and sad, and unheard, and all alone.
But the thing is, your life doesn’t have to keep going like this. Being a man doesn’t have to mean holding everything inside all the time. It can mean taking control of your feelings and learning to express them in a positive way so that you can focus on your happiness, your confidence, and your future. So you can be the man you want to be.
Just like your toolbox has many different tools to help you fix things. Counseling can help you add new tools to your toolbox, to help you learn to fix some of the emotions that are inside of you. Just like changing the oil in your car, and checking your tire pressure, talking to a counselor can help you maintain optimum performance of yourself, so you can have the future that you want and deserve.
