Therapy for Men with David Khalili

David F Khalili is a Licensed Therapist, board-certified sexologist, and founder of Rouse Relational Wellness, a sex and relationship and mental health wellness therapy center serving San Francisco and all of California. David’s book Mental Health Workbook for Men: Exercises to Improve Your Emotional, Psychological, and Social Well-Being was published recently to help men with their mental health and improve their relationships with themselves and others.  Dr. Kate and David discuss how men are not always encouraged to be open and honest about their emotions—especially when it comes to mental health struggles. As mental health pros, they explore how much shame and anxiety men live with and how it relates specifically to sex. They talk to us about “Soul Murder”, a term referring to boys killing off parts of themselves that leads to sadness and loneliness. They also describe Anxiety Closeness and how it affects relationships. David’s new workbook on men’s mental health issues, gives exercises, strategies and writing prompts that help men improve the way they handle challenges and is solution focused. If you are a male looking for some understanding of the male experience or are the significant other, spouse, sibling of a man, listen to this podcast and pass it on to those you care about!
