Stress Management Therapist for Men in San Diego

Men Feel A Different Type Of Stress

The amount of stress men internalize can feel like it is on a completely different level than others. Traditionally, men are expected to fill their societal roles without complaint, which leads to increasing levels of stress building up until there’s nowhere for it to go. All of the stress often gets swept under the rug, leaving men with a feeling of wanting to deal their stress but no way of actually handling it. This can be due to a lack of resources or tools on how to spot stress, an absence of support for the stress they are feeling, or a general misunderstanding of how stress plays a huge role in men’s everyday lives. Everyone feels the stress to a certain degree, but men are expected to hide these feelings and keep pushing forward no matter how it weighs on them.

The Different Factors Of Stress

Being a man in today’s society can produce massive stress levels simply by trying to maintain the appearance of what it means to “be a man”. It can often feel like everyone around you has a friend, family member, or partner to share their problems with, while you are left with no one to turn to. This issue is one of many that can exponentially increase stress levels in men, making it progressively harder for them to seek help when they need it versus when everything finally boils over. Additionally, when a man does speak up about the stress that he is experiencing he is often told that stress is just a normal part of a man’s life and to get over it. While some men find it easier to manage stress in their lives, but others who were given no tools or resources on how to deal with stress will often let it simmer until there is nothing but feelings of resentment and frustration.
