Description

When it comes to working with male clients, what strategies and practices work best? How do you work with a man who’s stuck in his head, constantly over-rationalising, or caught in a cycle of self-sabotage? What do you do if he struggles to connect to his emotions, can’t (or won’t) address hidden trauma or pain, or is deeply avoidant? In this workshop, you’ll learn, step by step, a proven framework rooted in attachment and developmental principles that helps even the most tough-to-crack male clients get out of their heads, into their bodies, and feeling a fuller, more satisfying sense of self. You’ll also learn: 

  • The latest approaches rooted in attachment and developmental science, and how they can be specifically adapted for men 

  • Prompts and exercises proven to help men articulate their emotions  

  • Tools for working with “resistance” and avoidance 

  • How to respond when male clients respond to therapy with intensity or shut down
