The Struggle That Men Can’t Talk About – Depression
Have you ever listened to a talk that left you feeling profoundly moved, almost as if it had peeled back layers of your own experiences? That’s exactly what happened to me recently. I stumbled upon a talk that delved into a subject we don’t often discuss – the burdens of shame and depression that many men carry silently.
How Couples Therapy Can Help
Many couples come to therapy after finding themselves caught in familiar loops of misunderstanding and frustration. It is not uncommon to fall into patterns that lead you to feel disconnected, despite your best efforts to be on the same page with your partner.
Disenfranchised Grief – When People Just Don’t Get It
Have you ever experienced a loss but felt like people around you just didn’t get it. Perhaps you felt like they discounted the loss or how impactful it should be in your life? When we lose a pet, an embryo/pregnancy, are grieving someone who hasn’t yet passed, the grief we feel is real and significant. Sometimes others have a hard time relating.
