Therapy For Tall Men — Why Are Men Shy About Therapy?

I try to keep it to myself I’m in therapy unless I meet someone with extreme problems that would be receptive to it. But to be honest, I meet angry and depressed people all the time that have no willingness to work on their dreams. These are called pipe dreams, where you have all these big plans and don’t do them. I have had them, too, but have collected the skills to make it a reality. I try to lift up others as well, even when they don’t lift me up back.

There seems to be this stigma that being a man means having no feelings and being the most aggressive person possible towards others. I get where that comes from, it’s all you were taught growing up by others bullying you so you think that’s what will fix other people. But you have to remember that not everyone has had the same experiences as you so what works in your case won’t work for them.

In a child’s life, they need male AND female influences that show them things like empathy and how to be firm. If you only have a mother figure you like you become clingy to her and with a father that’s not good to you then you become a bit like him unless you realize what’s going on and take care of that problem early on.

Males are known to do things like talk shit on each other for fun and that’s fine but if you’re around someone that’s constantly talking about you like you’re a piece of crap then you’re going to start to feel like one. And if you are around someone that spends most of the day being upset about other people, you can bet they are doing the same behind your back.

Men don’t understand they could be more successful in their work and love life if they were able to create a relationship with a therapist they like and get the advice their parents never gave them. And when that happens, they can spread such knowledge to others that are struggling. If you don’t tackle this now, eventually society and other people won’t like you much and you will end up on drugs or in a bad place where you don’t ever even want to go out.

As a tall and skinny person growing up, I was always the butt of the joke until I learned to accept the humor and use it to interface with people. They would call me a name and I would introduce myself as that name. They’d make fun of my Walmart shoes and I’d draw Nike symbols on them to illustrate how dumb it is that the symbol made me a target. If they don’t know you are poor you don’t have to tell them, but you also don’t have to feel bad for yourself. Their bullying is THEIR problem, not yours.

Therapy in Southern Oregon is in need in tons of instances. People overuse this but if you do the same thing you will get the same results. If you’re drinking constantly and having problems and haven’t tried life without alcohol in a long time, then you need to get sober or at least tackle what’s making you drink whether you have to be slightly drunk while doing so or not. But you could also find medications to replace the booze with, and feel normal for once and ready to conquer your dreams.

I have started to learn to see things as signs I need to up my game. If I see someone spinning their wheels that won’t take my advice, it’s fine but I do have to back away from such things before it gets worse and spreads to me. People close to you become your problem in one way or another which in turn will transfer some of that negative energy to your soul.

And a self care tip for men with PTSD is beard oil. Trust me, being able to ground yourself with the scent of it is so helpful.
