By Rich Simon As therapists, many of us practice in two different worlds. In the first, we see polite, well-behaved, articulate clients with solid values. They engage fully in therapy, talk cogently about their problems, listen attentively to our responses, make reasonably good-faith efforts to follow our suggestions, and sooner or later get better. No wonder we genuinely like these people! Does This Kid Need Medication? with Ron Taffel

Therapists tend to expect less from certain male clients--those who can’t connect with their wives and girlfriends, are self-absorbed, have narcissistic tendencies, or struggle with shame and rage. Many of these men are confused while others don’t have a clue what they aren’t doing, what they’re doing wrong, or how to behave differently. In this workshop, you’ll learn specific strategies and tools to intervene in characteristic male patterns that are counterproductive to intimacy. We’ll then focus on how to help men draw upon specific characteristics of women’s wisdom, learn what being connected feels like, stay regulated when overwhelmed by emotions, take in nurturing, and be able to give it.
