Mens Counseling

“From the Boardroom to the Bedroom”

Men are often misunderstood by women. The talents and skills used in the work place that makes men successful are often seen by wives and girlfriends as unimportant in the relationship. Hidden in this assumption by women is the expectation that you turn a part of yourself off in order to achieve a deep relationship with them. Or, the expectation that you become more like them so they feel loved and accepted. What is a guy to do?

I often hear men say they are not emotional and therefore it affects their intimate relationships.
Did you know that men are as emotional as women? It just looks different. It is impossible to know that it is impossible to not be emotional according to the current brain research. Every decision we make as human beings is an emotional decision. Think about how many decisions you make a day. You are emotional. The key is not to change you, but to expand the ways in which you use your natural pathway of emotions to help your partner to know you and understand you more fully.

Have you ever been told:

• You are not emotional
• You just need to change who you are
• You need to get in touch with your feminine side
• You are non-relational
• You need help relating to people
• Your just all about sex, not relationship

How sad it is for men to be so misinterpreted. You are emotional, caring, relational, and a man. Learn ways to take who you are as a man and teach your partner how to relate to you. Stand for yourself and at the same time use all of your talents and skills to do relationship in a new way that gives the opportunity for relational growth and satisfaction for both of you.

Benefits the Human Thread has to offer:

• Increased sense of confidence in intimate relationships
• New strategies for relationships using your current talents and skills
• Learn how to:
  • Recognize the difference between your emotion and thinking
  • Integrate relational language into your current skill and thinking structure
  • Assess the current “temperature” of the relationship that is based on relational
    functioning

These changes and strategies increase the capacity for intimate relationship, therefore reaping benefits that are both satisfying to your and your partner.
