Engaging and counselling the angry man

Tim will address these issues - if you counsel men, are a man, live or work with men, then this training will give you new insights into the reactions of men to counselling.
You will have greater confidence about dealing with male clients with calmness and understanding.
What You'll Learn: -

Men and Therapy
Men tend to approach counsellors in the same way they do lawyers, mechanics, and doctors - with specific problems for which they want specific advice. How to deal with this, given that such advice is rarely useful in a counselling situation?

The Mole and the Magpie
Learn why most men retreat further into their burrows (mole - fearing being overwhelmed),
while their partners ever more desperately try to connect (magpie - fearing abandonment).

Fear and Shame
Men who are reluctant to talk about feelings need to understand that their current way coping with their emotions - by withdrawing or attacking - stimulates their partner’s fear of isolation, harm, or deprivation. This takes the men further from the loving connection they need.

Core Values
What do men think about the meaning and purpose of their lives and their longing for connection? How do they deal with the shame of hurting those they are meant to protect?
