Mens feelings and emotions have evolved throughout our history, from the primal emotion of fear to learned social emotions like guilt and pride. And tens of thousands of years later, men are still trying to figure out what they’re feeling and why. That’s why we created Manifest Wellness to specialize in counselling for men.
Some feelings are important indicators that something’s not right. Jealousy, anger, frustration – these are all signals that you can choose to ignore or act on. Men’s feelings don’t disappear, so what we resist, persists. When we ignore them, it puts stress on our minds and bodies, negatively impacting our mental and physical health.
But when we learn to recognize certain feelings, we’re aware that we have a problem and can alter the course of our damaging or limiting behaviours. When we have a vocabulary around our emotions and we understand what they’re telling us, we can translate them into meaningful and beneficial circumstances.
