Emotional and Relational Practice for Men
Therapists who are looking for an emotionally safe place for men to practice what therapy is giving them. For others, seeing how their male clients lack some basic interpersonal skills that come from experience.
As an EVRYMAN co-founder, I hear from the therapists who refer men to our groups or participate in our programs that there is a need for men to connect to other http://www.MELD.communitymen.
Helping Men Connect
As men we are not given models, training, or often permission to develop our emotional skills. Over the course of a few decades of research and practice we discovered how men can teach each other.
Peer Support
Group members become accountability partners encouraging men to take new risks. The competitive side of men can show up here — men do not want to be seen as slacking; they will often step up where before they would not have.
Experience Training Men
EVRYMAN has become the source of premiere trainings and groups for men. We have expanded into working with large tech companies and municipal governments.
Men Teach Men
These groups are not didactical — they are experience-based. We help men to experience and share their somatic experiences to set them up to share their emotional and relational experiences. Rather than analyze or give advice, our groups direct men to share their experience when other men share.
Nationally Recognized
EVRYMAN continues to be featured by prominent media outlets. Our participation in our second Summit with Men’s Health.
The Evolution of the Work
From my training and practice of 45 years, then my men’s groups since 1995, I continued to use a somatic approach to connect to men and their emotions. First seeing the benefits for myself, I discovered connecting a man to his somatic experience sets him up to connect to his emotional experience. From there, in the emotionally safe space of being with other men, he gets to develop skills he never saw or had an opportunity to practice.
I continue to refine this method as I develop what we share at EVRYMAN. I’ve had the honor to teach it to or work with people such as Ester Perel, Sue Johnston, Ph.D., Terry Real, and Richard Schwartz, Ph.D.
