Men, Talking about Real Stuff
I love facilitating a space for men to share what’s going on with them. A space where we talk about real stuff. When was the last time you talked about real stuff that’s going on with you?
Mindfulness for Men
I wanted to share some common symptoms and problems that are often (not always of course) present with males who come into my office:
They have problems with anxiety and stress, and they internalize and absorb this stress
They can’t get out of their head / their mind spins in circles
They are more often than not analyzing / thinking / evaluating future tasks or past problems
They have become increasingly more angry and irritable and notice that they snap at small, trivial things more than they used to
