‘Most men lead lives of quiet desperation (& go to the grave with the song still in them) ‘
The above quote, paraphrased from Henry Thoreau, seems as distressingly apt today as it did when it was written over 150 years ago. Despite the advances made by feminism, the ‘new age’ & the ‘men’s movement’ men are still notoriously reluctant to present for any kind of therapeutic support. Yet levels of depression, violence & suicide in men, particularly young men, are worryingly high. What is it that leads to this state of affairs? How, as practitioners, can we engage effectively with men? What unconscious biases or prejudices might we be holding that will interfere with or sabotage our work?
This training will provide participants with hands-on experience of a range of methods & approaches, which they can take away and add to their to add to their tool kits, including personal reflection, group and pair work, creativity, poetry & story.
Some of the topics we will explore include:-
- Not measuring up’ – men and shame
- ‘Boys don’t cry’ – men and grief
- The dangers of ‘nice’ men
- The ‘boy code’ – breaking the silence
- Working with men’s anger & violence
- Men and sex
Feedback from previous ‘Lives of Quiet Desperation’ participants
‘Simon’s depth of experience in running workshops for and about men was clearly evident. I recommend his course.’
‘This is the first time I have been able to grieve for my father – thank you.’
‘Simon’s workshop is very apposite; much needed at this time. He invites us to look very squarely and honestly at the male and masculine archetypes and find value and integrity. A challenging workshop for therapists and the therapy culture.’
