Stop acting like a lone wolf. The "strong, silent" act is a design flaw that’s keeping you stuck in the storm. It’s time to drop the pride, find your tribe, and get real. You don't need permission to start. 💪🛠️ #BiblicalManhood #MensGroup #IronSharpensIron

#Men of the fediverse: Do you feel lonely or isolated? Are you going through things that you just can't (or rarely get the chance to) talk about with your friends or family? Do you wish people understood how hard it actually can be to be a man in this messed up world?
You probably need a therapist! But ALSO it might help to join a men's group. I'm leading one tomorrow night!

I haven't posted about my #MensGroup in a while -- we took a bit of a break for the summer, but we're back!
#Masculinity doesn't have to be toxic, violent, abusive, hateful. But it's hard to chart a different course by yourself.
I'm proud to be part of a community that offers #men solidarity & support, connection & friendship, space to vent, and practices to hold ourselves accountable so we can show up with our whole hearts for ourselves and our loved ones.

Stop Blaming Women For Adult Men's Loneliness
„…male loneliness is an inside job …“
This is one of the biggest reasons for men‘s groups: to „fix“ our isolation, loneliness, depression (& high suicide rates).

I'm writing about "men's health issues." If you are a man or know a man, consider responding to this short questionnaire at https://bit.ly/mensgroupsresearch

Thank you for your interest! I'm writing a series of articles on broadly defined "men's health issues." I'm starting with a piece on men's groups, as it's my experience that the work we do in these groups is fundamental to our well-being as men. Your answers to these questions is confidential. Unless you choose to allow me to use your name I will not be naming you. Even if you do choose to allow your name to stand, I may not identity you. If you are willing to be contacted for follow-up interviews or other research I'm doing, please leave your name and email. Rev.

a question for all self-identified #men: what are you doing to become more self-aware, accountable, and intentional about how you show up in the communities that support you throughout your life?
if your answer is "not enough" (or even "I can always do more!"), you might find the support you need at the #WholeheartedMasculine #MensGroup

We have an open session coming up on October 3rd. Come check it out!
On Tue Aug 29, 7-9pm ET, I'm hosting an in-person #MensGroup in Salem, MA!
This is an offshoot of the online group I've posted about before. We have some info about what this will/could look like here (details are not set in stone):
https://wholeheartedmasculine.org/mens-groups/salem-ma/
If you're a man (trans men are men) or #masculinity-type person in the Greater Boston area, I'd love for you to join us. DM me or use the "contact" button on the website.
Please boost for reach and tell any friends who live nearby!
@dyfrig I'm part of a #MensGroup that's trying to offer alternative visions of #masculinity for exactly these reasons. Granted, we are not trying to do "influencer" tactics or grow a community of millions (or, at this point, even more than a few dozen, though we do see Wholehearted Masculine as part of a larger movement to some degree). But I'd love to know how well you think our messaging speaks to the needs and anxieties of the "Marks" of the world?
#Men and masculine-identified folks, check out this project!
Wholehearted Masculine helps men* connect with the best and truest parts of themselves, and build a brotherhood where we can support each other in living into healthy, responsible, intersectional, wholehearted #masculinity
I've been one of several co-facilitators of this #mensGroup for a few years now. Having this community makes me a better dad, partner, friend, and all-around human 🔥❤️

* trans men are men
in my #mensGroup we usually talk in terms of five primary emotions, so it's the four "negative" (sadness, anger, fear, and shame) plus one "positive" (joy). so it's kind of like, why continue to go through life only feeling good about 20% of your emotional experiences?
if you reframe it so they are all normal and good, then you get to start asking interesting questions like "what is this anger trying to tell me" or "why am I feeling shame about this"
and that's where the magic happens
