060 Timed Sessions: We Process... Father of Mine!

Welcome to another episode of Mr. Therapist & The Counselor Podcast where we discuss mental health & recovery topics and our goal is to demystify the process of therapy and who mental health professionals are. And we do this by showing up real, authentic, and having raw conversation. This week we process Fatherhood issues and fathers day!We start off the show by discussing if it is "gay" for 2 men to be vulnerable with each other. We discuss what "Gray rocking" is and why it might be a good way to practice confronting the challenges you face in your life. We discuss the Man Vs. Bear question on social media. Is it safer for a woman to be stuck in the woods with a bear or a man? Mr. Therapist tries to go inward to explore why he doesn’t like to be celebrated during fathers day. We discuss how men over-identify with their job at times and the challenges that can present with a child. We also discuss if being mentally present is more important than being physically present for a child. Do fathers get a bad rap? Let us know your thoughts on this and submit any questions you have on the show!
