Talking points: coaching, therapy, masculinity, mental health

Eyebrow-raising title aside, I know from personal experience it can be wildly difficult for coaches and therapists who work with men to make actual progress. But! There are clearcut reasons for this, and there are clearcut things you can do.

So if you’re a coach or therapist who wants a better experience for both you AND the guy in your chair, listen in. If you’re not one of those, then use this as a guide to help you find a coach that’s right for you!
