PHILOSOPHICAL COUNSELING FOR MEN

Counseling that makes sense.

Men and women are different creatures and serve different purposes. Men’s existence is predominently rooted in rational thinking; women's in feeling. Together, they combine and form holistic intelligence—and babies.

General purpose

If you’ve been around psychotherapists, and I have rubbed shoulders with hundreds of them in various educational programs, today’s counseling model caters to women: “how does that make you feel” anyone?

That’s cool, some men could use a little more feeling sometimes. But men sort out their lives primarily through reason and evidence first, and feelings second—if there’s time.

So philosophical counseling meets this unmet need for a type of counseling that makes sense for men. Philosophy after all is about knowing how to think and using it to benefit our lives, including women’s. My style, as you might expect, includes holistic intelligence, ie. conscience. So there’s a place for emotions as well.

Counseling for awakening

The ultimate purpose of my philosophical counseling is to free good men from the control system. By contrast, the mental health professions today work to keep people in the system. My work is a radical departure from what is available out there. Please let it sink in.

If you have yet to realize that you are in a control system, then it’s probably where you should start. Think Matrix allegory. I am aware that I will probably lose some readers after this statement. And it’s okay; they’re simply not ready. They will wake up as they enter the camps, as the saying goes.

For those who remain, I will show you that most of your problems originate from the friction created by a covert struggle between the control system and our inherently rebellious and independent masculine nature.

Wake up call

There’s a saying that summarizes our different but compatible roles:

“Men build civilization. Women make it worth living.”

So my question to men is this: if men build civilization, what are you building? And no, fantasy football doesn’t count.

Exiting the system is the initial step, to stop the noise if you will, just as we would exit a concert to find a little peace outside. The next step is to formulate a plan to live independently from the system without contributing to it in any way. This is a difficult task; the system is everywhere, infiltrates everything, and plays games of conscience. Then we must get back inside the concert hall and tell everyone the band has no clothes. I hope you get the reference.
