.. ♦ ♦ ♦ WHATEVER 'IT' IS ~
YOU'RE "A NOT SO HAPPY GUY"
Many, many men aren’t. Career & Life-Purpose Despair, Mid-Life Changes, Emotional Stuff or Painful Relationship Dilemmas. So go 'see' somebody and really start working it out. You - really being heard from way inside and coached forward & through by other men who can deeply understand you – man to man. That could be quite skillful work by another one of your own guys in Your Own Men’s Group. Totally being here for yourself - as you completely be here for each other. That's the whole point of a group!
So go on, get out of your protective self-imposed isolation: “I can do it by myself” male-ego-pride-shame- fear-bullshit cycles & just get into a men’s growth group for awhile where you can work on your stuff & your soul on a frequent enough weekly-basis to make a really noticeable difference.

At least check the 'idea' out! .

American Poet-Laureate & Mythologist ROBERT BLY,
author of bestseller IRON JOHN: A Book About Men says:
_____________________________________________________
.
"I think what men need to do –
is to spread their wings in the valley
of their own sorrow and then soar!
And roar! Go ahead, dance on the corpse
of your own despair! Get out of your
protective isolation & get into a local
men's group, that's where you can work
on your soul on a frequent enough basis
to make a noticeable difference !
.
Bring your life back
from the "Exile of the Male Spirit" -
and into a healthy, Sacred Balance again!" .
