Online Therapy for Men in Ohio
You have considered counseling before but decided to move on. You were afraid to be vulnerable, or worried that you would be judged. Perhaps you’re concerned that asking for help makes you seem weak.
Let’s be honest, the thought of going to therapy isn’t something on your bucket list. It requires lots of vulnerability, time, and forces you to get in touch with your emotions. It means acknowledging that you can’t take care of yourself and everyone else at the same time. As a guy, you may be thinking “I can just shrug it off and move on”. After all, you have a job, family, school, and a whole host of other tasks you have to take care of. You just don’t have the time for therapy.
With everything going on in the world, playing superman can be difficult. Everyone needs help at some point in time. Even you. You may believe that you don’t have time to begin therapy. Or, you may see it as a sign of weakness, or being “unmanly”. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Men must normalize taking care of their mental health. You may be feeling shame and guilt for not being strong enough to deal with your emotions. But, no person should have to feel like they need to hold everything together all the time. We all need to take a moment to decompress and be real. Our online therapists understand how you feel, and we are here to help you.
Men often struggle with mental health issues including depression, suicidal thinking, anxiety, relationship issues, and so on. However, because of the negative stigma surrounding mental health, they are less likely to seek help and get counseling than are women. While women are conditioned to ask for help, men tend to brush off or bottle up feelings, rather than address them.
Regardless of what you’re dealing with, talking to a therapist who can empathize and walk through the hard things with you is important. We know it's not easy to reach out, but by taking the first step and contacting an online therapist in Ohio, you can begin to feel better about yourself and your life situations. You’re not alone, or weak, you’re simply human.
Common Reasons Men Begin Counseling:
While we all may have different reasons for seeking out therapy, there are many reasons why men seek out mental health services. Some common reasons include:
Anger
Work adjustment issues such as procrastination, avoidance, anger, or success sabotage
Burnout
Body image issues
Bipolar disorder
Stress such as somatic issues, complaints, irritation, frustration
Grief and loss
Regardless of why you come into therapy, it's ok to need to vent. Perhaps your loved ones expect you to be strong and able to handle your issues on your own. But this is unrealistic and hurtful. Society has perpetuated the notion that men don’t need to process feelings. It’s unfair. “Being the man” and strong all the time is damaging to your mental health. You should get to define what being a man looks like. And, if that means addressing your feelings and emotions in a way that is healthy for you and keeps you feeling whole, then we are here to help.
