‘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.’

APPROVED FOR CPD: This course has been approved by COSRT – College Of Sex And Relationship Therapists – for 14 hours CPD
SLIDES AND EXERCISES: Before the workshop you will be sent a copy of the slides and the exercises that you need for the workshop. After the workshop you will be asked to fill in a feedback form. Filling this in will release a link, to a second set of handouts.
THIS COURSE, AND WORKING ONLINE: This course is not intended to be a comprehensive workshop about how to work couples online. Our focus in these workshops is working with couples, and up until now this has always been face to face. Having said that, implicitly you will experience handling online technology, and will be doing ‘couples therapy’ roleplay in 3’s – where one is the therapist and two role play a couple – in breakout rooms. This mirrors doing couples therapy online, and will give you some skills practice at doing that. However, to work with couples online will need further practice and training.
SIX MODULES ON HOW TO WORK WITH COUPLES: This course is part of the six module workshop organised by Juliet Grayson, for people who want to learn about working with couples or enhance their current skills.
