Men's Mental Health Iceberg

The men I’ve been seeing lately are struggling…


They’re struggling internally and silently.


Maintaining composure and a straight face is destroying them.


Here’s the men’s mental health iceberg…


On the surface you see:

Big smile

Great job

Nice home

Amazing kids

Supportive partner

Everything looks ‘good’ on paper


What you don’t see below the surface:

Pressure to deliver

Anxiety that won’t turn off

Feeling like he’s not doing enough

Harsh inner critic saying, ‘suck it up’

Exhaustion from holding it all together

Struggling to ask for help and admit it’s needed


This can affect:

How you handle work pressure

Withdrawal from intimate relationships

Sleep and physical health

Avoiding hobbies and activities

Superficial connections, increased loneliness

Family connections–increased irritability with children, emotionally distant from your partner


All of which impact your ability to perform your best.


Here’s the good news:

Men aren’t broken

They are not incapable

They just haven’t learned how to deal with what they’re feeling.

Yet!


It’s a matter of skill–and like any skill, it can be learned.


It starts with awareness


It grows with the right tools, guidance and support


You don’t have to carry the weight alone


When you step into this work, you unlock more peace of mind, inner resilience, and a greater sense of freedom.


The first step?


Deciding you’re done living the old way.


You’ve got this, I’m here to help.


Let’s connect!
