Last week the New York Post that it’s time for Therapy Bro Summer: The summer in which men will finally go to the psychologist en masse after long resistance. The question is whether we are indeed dealing with a revolution here, or with an editor trying to make her friend clear through a detour that a protein diet does not count as therapy.
Magazine Flair In any case, couldn’t wait and eagerly took over the message. “Self -insight is the new Sixpack. […] So men, if you really want to score this summer? Book that therapy session. And let your shadow side shine. ” Nice tried, but in the meantime the Men’s Health Less than a week later the next Instagram message into the world: “Almost 1 in 5 adults in the Netherlands have to deal with depression. Therapy or medication are known treatments, but did you know that strength training can also help? *Spierbalemoji *”.
Fires, folding hands and more muscle balls in the comments. “Have helped me 100%,” writes Djarno. Did you already know that they also have a nice gym in the psychiatric department in the hospital, Djarno?
If you want to get a man in therapy, in many cases it is waiting for TBS with compulsory nursing. They don’t go by themselves. They prefer to learn dates out of their heads, walk a marathon or spot the Air Force One. Why right? In an item of Heart of the Netherlands Psychologist Valerie Ritchie claimed this month that “boys are given that they should be tough, and should not share too much about feelings.” If it is not their mother or girlfriend, there is always another woman ready to better more difficulty their behavior with nonsensical arguments.
Men who share their emotional struggles are so rare that an almost inappropriate jubilation mood arose when professional footballer Guus Til made known at the end of last year ‘no more fire or something’. That vulnerability was so good that Til later forced himself to clarify that he had, unfortunately for the public, ‘no burnout’. He felt somewhat paralyzed, but already knew what the solution was. “That’s football.”
After the end of his career as a professional footballer, former international Gregory van der Wiel also had a hard time, he said in an interview with the NOS last month. But: now it went better. Now he wanted to help others. “I am almost a doctor, read all the books, listened to all podcasts, gather so much knowledge, in all areas.” Exactly that is how Sigmund Freud and Keith Bakker also thought. Helping yourself is nice enough, Greg.
So more and more men seem to be willing to be prepared until the latter. In the same Heart of the Netherlands-Interview the participants come from ‘The Gathering of Men“Like. They wear T-shirts with the text „I see you, Brother“On it and stand barefoot or on white ankle socks in a circle. Breathing exercises are being done about feelings. And yet, according to the founder of the group, one thing has to be very clear.” You do not come here because this is your therapy group. You come here because you feel that you can become a better father or because you feel that there is simply more capacity in you. ” In fact, your mental health is not very different from your muscle mass: something you can inflate until you are satisfied with the result. Nice together with the bros, just like in the gym.
Moreover, therapy is a tough requirement for more and more women. If we have the New York Post Must believe, women no longer want to attach themselves to someone who does not know what his attachment style is, and they do not have to have children with someone who does not know what the inner child is. But for most, some willingness to self -reflection will suffice. Put it on, men. If Tony Soprano could, you can do it too.
