Why does a female therapist want to support men?

I have closed my books to Couples Counselling because I noticed too many men, being criticised, ‘told off’, talked over, interrupted, and responding with defensiveness or withdrawal because sometimes, it just seems easier to walk away or shut down!

I have recently and personally witnessed the reverse of the gender bias in domestic family violence - women are capable too of abusing the system and reducing rights and freedoms of their male partners. This in turn, quietens your voice, because “the statistics say… so who would believe you” and some suggest “it’s not much of a masculine look to be dominated by a woman so there is no way it will be reported”.

Here is your safe place to ‘Be the Man You Want to Be’ and be accepted with respect, and without judgement, all while encouraging richer and safer relationships.

“Men do not need to fix their behaviour. They need to reorganise who they are under pressure” Scott Austin Martin

Quick Reads:

  • Deal with anger earlier, stay with it longer, respond FROM IT instead of reacting OUT of IT.

    1. Notice what is happening in your body without reacting to it.

    2. Even though it is uncomfortable, stay engaged in the moment.

    3. Don’t rush to respond, pause, take a few breaths.

    4. Acknowledge what is said without defending or explaining. See and hear her.

    5. Take ownership where it is real - small over perfect is better than none.

    6. Next, provide information not a counter attack. Let her know what happens for you when the pressure builds and why it is difficult.

    7. Lead the conversation toward how you can both apologise and what you can both do differently.

    8. You do not need to win the conversation, you just need to stay longer.

  • 1. Understand how your identity was shaped.

    2. Train the nervous system to stay present and safe when under pressure or threatened.

    3. Process the past through the body and the brain.

    4. Apply your reclaimed clarity into today and tomorrow.

  • Recalibrate YOUR nervous system and BUILD YOUR CAPACITY first. This is PERSONAL REGULATION

    1. When you feel overwhelmed state 3 things

    i. I can feel this in [where in your body]

    ii. I need to take a break to do [whatever works]

    iii. Let’s come back in [x] minutes, or talk again at [x]pm.

    2. Do the work to get your nervous system calm - don’t just switch it of and distract yourself.

    3. Reconnect as a couple and co-regulate (breathe, touch, hold, give appreciation and acceptance to each other).

    4. Speak your truth (be honest).

    If you both feel SAFE, HEARD, and UNDERSTOOD - the issue can be closed.

    If not, this process needs another attempt. It is ok, to revisit it again.

  • It may not be about one event. It’s possibly about the buildup of suspicion or realisation and loss of safety and loyalty (being put first). That’s why when you say, “Sorry, it didn’t mean anything”, to her it needs acknowledgement of all the little steps prior to the betrayal, not just the moment you made the wrong decision.

    It is not about words, it is about your actions increasing safety. The nervous system is only calm when it feels safe.

    If you intellectualise with only words, without a calmness and softness in your body (a felt sense), she will feel rigidity and coldness and not feel safety from you, around you or within you.
