Would more men be open to going to therapy if they had resources tailored specifically for them, and if the office had Emotional Support Animals for appointment use?

    So I honestly believe that therapy for men would look vastly different…

    It would be a gym, or an auto shop, or woodworking shop where you can work with your hands while you talk about it. You’re entirely right, men deal with it differently, and the biggest thing we do differently is that we talk while DOING something rather than just sitting on a couch.

    Open a wood shop where I can spend an hour a week building a shitty spice rack while talking to someone about my issues, etc…

    Anyways, I have done plenty of regular therapy, but I can see why many men struggle with it
