For many men, the holidays aren’t the "most wonderful time of the year"—they’re a minefield of stress, grief, emotional triggers, and unhealthy coping habits. Whether it's the weight of past trauma, judgment from family, the sting of loss, or the pressure to keep it all together—you’re not alone.

This group is for men who are ready to face the season differently—with support, tools, and accountability.

What We’ll Cover:

- Seasonal Depression – Learn tools to manage your mood as the days grow darker.
- Grief & Loss – Navigate the holidays without the ones you miss most.
- Family Conflict – Handle toxic dynamics and boundary issues with clarity.
- Coping with Alcohol – Reduce or rethink your relationship with substances this season.
- Emotional Regulation & Anger Management – Build strategies to stay grounded.
- Creating New Patterns – Break the cycle and rewire how you move through the holidays.

Schools can do a lot for their students by going phone-free!

These are a few benefits of schools going phone-free I've learned from my counseling practice and readings:

1. Kids are less distracted and better able to learn
2. Kids learn to interact face-to-face rather than through a device
3. Kids experience the benefits of free play

Learn more about going phone-free as this week is Phone-Free Schools Week of Advocacy

Hi everyone! I’m a licensed professional counselor helping men and adults find solutions to relationship issues, work through complex emotions, and find balance with screen use.

Think of me like that coach from every football movie who supports and guides their players to be the best version of themselves.

Or William Wallace (without the face paint and sword but with the long hair) who empowers and motivates you to take action.

Or Yoda listening intently when he says “mmmHHHHMMMmmm.”

I have availability for 5 new clients and would love to support you in your journey in therapy.

Reach out for a free 15-minute consultation to see if I would be a good fit. 214-433-2721 ext 1 or jeremy@escapingthe.com
