Men's Processing Group: Navigating Masculinity in Modern America
Join us for a supportive exploration of modern masculinity in our Men's Processing Group. In today's rapidly evolving society, the expectations and realities of being a man can often feel like a maze to navigate. This group offers a safe and non-judgmental space for men to come together, share their experiences, and gain insights into what it truly means to be a man in contemporary American culture.
Our goal is simple yet profound: to delve into the challenges that men face today, from societal pressures to conform to traditional gender roles to the complexities of emotional expression and mental health. Through open and honest dialogue, we aim to reconcile these expectations with the realities of our lived experiences, fostering a deeper understanding of ourselves and each other.
We believe that by coming together we can support one another on our individual journeys of self-discovery and personal growth. Whether you're grappling with questions of identity, seeking guidance on navigating relationships, or simply looking for a space to share and be heard, you'll find a welcoming community here.
Through shared stories, active listening, and mutual respect, we strive to build awareness around the diverse experiences of men in our society, challenging stereotypes and fostering empathy. Together, we can redefine masculinity not as a rigid set of expectations, but as a nuanced and evolving concept that embraces authenticity and vulnerability.
So if you're ready to embark on a journey of self-reflection, connection, and growth, we invite you to join us for our Men's Processing Group. Together, let's cultivate a deeper understanding of what it means to be a man today, and empower each other to live authentically and purposefully.
The group is led by Eric Reitz, a Licensed Professional Counselor, who will guide the group in developing a safe, authentic environment. For more information and to join please reach out to Eric at eric.reitz@bastionhealthworks.com or 804-404-3557.
