How Male Counseling Works For Its Clients

By Nancy Thompson


Life for men can be tricky business, and peer or work pressure or family problems are a load that should not be shouldered alone. In times past, the priest or the pastor could have some good words to counsel men with these issues. Today, it has gone the way of counselors or psychologists who know more about the temporal or secular plane.

Males can be stoic and not too communicative where their troubles are concerned. This is culture generated, a feature of many male dominated societies with loads of prejudices and taboos. Though communication today is said to be open and free, males are still anchorites trapped on their penitent pyschological pillars and this is something male counseling Boise Idaho addresses.

Men may have much experience about not being able to speak when they thought they should because of some standard in the culture. They can belong to peer groups or even clubs that have noisy rituals but will not discuss things that really matter to them personally. What with all the noise, those who want to speak of life matters are simply drowned out.

In the city Boise Idaho they could do this at bars, though, where they can blame drink when they blab too much. Better men could talk to their spouses, but this is one person he could have problems with. Supposedly the better half, so many men have come to the conclusion that she is a bitter pill that they must swallow every day.

Listening to that spiritual tune about the world turning vampire is relevant. The persona in that song is trapped in a cage but can only scream in futile desperation. He is probably wasting his lifeblood away, and the world is sucking it up as the best kind of entertainment because the bleeding happens only to another man.

Psychologists who work with men know that they hurt as much as their female counterparts. And often, females are the ones who could handle the hurt and not males. Society, again, probably has much to do with this, but nowadays males can approach many counselors and not feel out of place.

The best friend, too, can lend some support here, but they are seldom the experts on emotional balance and psychic healing. But counselors will tell you that if there is girl stuff there is also guy stuff. He will cut through a host of issues and go straight to the heart of the matter, which is only the beginning in the long process of healing where applicable.

Guys in this modern day and age may finally be opening up, but the counselor will not bet on this, especially with problematic males. However, he can do the opening up, the analysis and the conversion from knotty psychological issue to understanding. He or she does this the way the more general type of counselor usually does.

This field of male counseling is a new designation, where there was no such designation before. It is not about a medical solution, simply counseling treatment without the need of deeper treatment or drugs. It is more about preventing many small problems or potentially dangerous ones from burning up his client.
