Men vs. Therapy: Do They All Need It?

If you've been on the internet ~as of late~, you may have seen the memes and videos suggesting that all men should be in therapy; that it's a bare minimum ask that will help them finally become self-aware, emotionally mature, good partners. It might seem easy to say, 'Well, duh!' and start calling therapists in your area to set up appointments for every man you know. But is the answer really that simple?Perhaps...not. Join us this week as we discuss whether every man really *needs* therapy, why emotional awareness doesn't guarantee healthy behavior - and why therapy isn't always the answer, the problems with overusing the word 'trauma', and the dangers of sweeping generalizations. We also cover the downsides to therapy and why it shouldn't be a 'forever thing', going vs. getting something out of it, and how all parties play a role in creating a successful relationship.About Your Hosts: Beth is a licensed, Ph.D. clinical psychologist with 40+ years of experience treating patients of all ages. Joyce is a millennial just trying to figure it all out.Note:Advice and opinions on this show should not be considered as treatment.
