Men: Ask your Therapist to take you Outside | Nick Cardone | TEDxHalifax

A culture clash exists between men and therapy. How many men or boys want to sit on their butts for an hour, talking about their feelings? There are other ways of ‘doing’ therapy tend to align with how guys are wired, like going on a hike, shooting hoops, going out for coffee, or playing music - and they are showing up!
Production: Basil Audio-Visual Inc. Nick Cardone is a Registered Counselling Therapist in Nova Scotia. He is also the Owner and Lead Clinician at Free Range Therapy - a private therapy clinic specialized in working with men and adolescent boys.
With 20 years experience in school, institutional, community-based and private practice mental health settings, his clients are invited to explore new ways of ‘doing’ therapy. Utilizing evidence-based modalities like adventure-based therapy, physical movement, creative expression or exposure to nature, clients engage while on a hike, journaling, rock climbing, playing guitar or using a mousetrap! This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

So awesome!

Decreasing the stressors! Such practical advice. Dress casual, get rid of the tie. Move the body, as it tends to get fidgety and wiggly when we're exploring uncharted or stormy areas. Go where there is no clock to watch, and wander. Excellent video.

What makes you think there is a clear gender line and that some women don't experience this?

[@poocrayon4588]

A better question is why should men go to therapy if they dont want to? Who are you to tell them what they need?

[@kimli7105]

He is the one who will make money off you.

[@007Scout]

Did you listen to the talk? He explains why.
All humans should be going to therapy and the ones that don't think they need it, are probably the ones that need it the most.

@@007Scout Lol, yeah sure they do buddy. Now keep handing that money over to the therapist

[@007Scout]

Okay poo crayon, you keep telling yourself what you need to hear. Some of us are committed to becoming the best we can be. The others are adults using names like poo crayon.

Kind of creepy guy, I wouldn't trust him with my kids. Smoked too much weed in the 70s.
