Brainspotting Therapy Promises a Novel Way to Heal from Trauma. Here’s What Happened When I Tried It

- Masculine role socialization. To benefit from counseling, a man must admit that he needs help, must rely on the counselor and must openly discuss and express emotion. These requirements, conflict with traditional ideals of what it means to be male: toughness, independence and emotional control.

- Social Norms. Some men may also worry that society will look down on a man who can't "tough it out" on his own, and that seeking--or even needing--help is not "normal" male behavior. Even men who do seek counseling may worry about what others think of their choice, including Tim (a pseudonym), a client of Good's in his 50s who began therapy after he ended an extramarital affair.

One way to convince more men to seek help, then, is to convince them that the things they need help with are "normal."
