Support for Dads: How Therapy Can Help You Show Up as the Father You Want to Be
You care deeply about your family and want to be a great dad, but that can be hard if you didn’t have a good example of what a father should be.
Perhaps your dad was cold and distant or perhaps he was often angry. Maybe your dad wasn’t around at all.
You don’t want to repeat those same patterns as a father or a partner. The good news is that you can learn a different way and therapy can help!
Do any of these sound familiar?
​
-
New conflict with your partner since the baby was born
-
Resentment is building up between you and your partner
-
Loss of physical relationship/ intimacy
-
You’re not getting any time to yourself
-
You’re often angry, sad, frustrated or lonely
-
Everything feels stressful- you know you don’t want to repeat those old patterns of using drugs or alcohol or working to avoid your family, but you’re not sure what to do instead
-
Maybe you’re wondering if you can support the family on your salary?
-
You’re not sure how to balance work and family. Your partner wants your around, but you need to work to pay for everything which takes you away from your family.
​
Maybe you’ve considered therapy before, but it sounds kind of weird and mushy. You’ve never really talked to another dude about your feelings before. Maybe you’re only reading this because your partner told you to.
A lot of men feel this way when they first start therapy, but they usually get more comfortable within the first few sessions, and discover that talking in a private and judgment free space can be incredibly freeing.
As a man myself, I’ll meet you where you are. I’m also a father, a partner, and I’m well versed in all of those uncertainties.
Let's add more text to this section. Can you talk more about what the process is like? and a little more on what to expect after therapy?
