    The number of clients I get who are clearly struggling with the burden of “what a man is and isn’t” would astound you… Hint: It’s a lot!

    No, boys aren’t OK…

    Just be you, friends!

      Getting constantly punished for being “weak” and showing emotions kinda does create problems it appears. Apparently it’s not very healthy to ignore emotions and pretend to be stronger than you are. It took quite a while to get over that.

      There’s so much wrong with the expectations on men set by media and by society. Change is happening, but there are plenty of people who seem to want to keep things this way. Grown up men who still perpetuate all this bullshit, constantly kicking down on any minority group or anyone who stands out just to look tough.
