Stop Nurturing. Start Truth-Telling: A New Framework for Working with Men

Terry Real-speaker of the programTerry Real-speaker of the programAs therapists, we’re trained to lead with empathy and compassion, so our clients feel comfortable opening up about what feels most vulnerable.

But there are some men with whom our typical approach just doesn’t work.

For men who’ve never learned to connect with their emotions, they can come in defensive. Guarded. Pushing back against vulnerability.

It’s a dynamic that Terry Real, MSW, LICSW, sees often in his work.

And according to Terry, we need a different approach when working with men who are emotionally guarded and shut down – one that is both direct and compassionate.

That’s what Terry Real gets into in this all-new live workshop:

— New Short Course —

Strategies for Working with Hard-to-Reach Men

In this live Zoom workshop, Terry will share:

  • 3 types of hard-to-reach men (and how to adapt interventions for your work with each)
  • Why we need to focus less on nurture and more on truth
  • How to use confrontation to build the therapeutic alliance
  • Strategies to confront destructive behavior — without shaming
  • A 3-part model of the psyche that can help clients understand the aftereffects of trauma
  • The precise therapeutic framework Terry uses to shift guarded men toward vulnerability

The workshop goes live on Thursday, November 13th from 12-3pm ET.

You’ll have the opportunity to ask Terry your questions during the Q&A portions of the workshop.

In addition, your registration includes the video recording and transcript of the presentation (and both are yours to keep forever).

  • The transcript makes it easy to go back and double check concepts, citations and names that are mentioned
  • We put in a table of contents to make it easy for you to find the exact part of the webinar you need
  • Having the concepts already written allows you to take notes on how you’re going to use the ideas rather than transcribing the ideas
  • Some people simply learn better by reading than by listening or watching
  • You will be able to print out and share techniques presented in the session with your patients
