To sit around, knowing there is a problem and not doing anything about it can be as painful as staying in an unhealthy love relationship because you are afraid of being alone again. Studies say women are more likely to seek counseling than men. I am a man, so I can say this. We often feel that we must maintain our ego-centered macho image by refusing to admit we may need help. Men are human beings, too.
Human beings have problems.
Some men often view seeking help as a weakness. To seek the advice of a professional when things are falling apart can only be a sign of strength. We use that same argument to justify why people should use our own professional services in our everyday work, yet we are too afraid or too stubborn to admit that we need help. Face it, men. We need help.
