"If I ask for help, I'm a failure"
This is one of the biggest lies men believe. There is no such thing as the 'self-made' man. But thinking we need fo fight all our battles alone has made us lonely, riddled with anxiety, burdened by secrets and afraid of taking off the mask.
Here are some topics many men could benefit from bringing into the light...
First-time fathers
Managing a Growing Family
Growing in self-awareness
Leading self through family change
Strengths-based parenting
Relationship with Partner/Spouse
Personal and family values
Spiritual transformation
Kids Schooling Choices
Kids and sports
What's the difference between therapy and coaching?
Coaching and therapy are fundamentally different and both have their place in personal growth and self-improvement.
Take a look at the 5 points below to help decide what's best (btw, these points have been vetted by a therapist).
Therapy
- Therapists are licensed professionals who need to maintain a professional distance from their patients.
- Therapists focus more on a clients and give them a safe space to explore thoughts, feelings, and past experiences.
- Therapists have extensive licensing processes and are trained to diagnose and treat mental health conditions.
- Therapy can be a long-term practice depending on a person's needs.
- Therapists often look to solve issues rooted in the past to solve past traumas, emotional issues, or specific mental health issues.
Coaching
- Coaches use their life experiences and share personal stories to teach.
- Coaches often build a more collaborative relationship giving guidance, accountability and support on actionable decisions.
- Coaches tend to coach in areas in which they have their own experiences to share.
- Coaches tend to process a specific situation or hurdle for a shorter sprint.
- Coaching is future-oriented and helps clients accomplish a set of goals. In the case of Every Dad Project coaching...this will be talking through dad or household situations.
