Hygiene for Boys

Self-care doesn’t announce itself at Whetstone with spa music and soft lighting. It shows up in the mundane: brushing teeth, washing clothes, tending a cut, making a bed that will be messed up again by nightfall. And yet, this is where a lot of the real therapeutic work lives. When a boy learns to care for his body, he’s often learning—sometimes for the first time—how to care for himself at all. In therapy we talk about patterns that repeat themselves across systems. Messy rooms, messy days, messy relationships. The same choreography, different stage. So we slow it down. We name it. We reshape it. Join us this week on A Time to Sharpen as we talk about Self Care and why the smallest habits often do the heaviest lifting.
