“Absolutely amazing course – I feel as though I have learnt so much in just two days.”
Why is there a need for this course?
The simple answer to this is: there is a woeful lack of education about men’s health issues in our homes and in the wider community. Governments are not investing enough time, money and effort in promoting the benefits of healthy living and men are not taking self-responsibility to maintain or improve their wellbeing.
So, the aim of this course is to address both of those issues, looking at the role that the practitioner can play in inspiring and converting men to try this amazing therapy and assisting them to place a higher priority on their health for now and into the future.
The course is presented live at various venues and is also available as a Live Webinar click HERE for next dates and times.
What does this course offer?
These two days have been specifically designed to examine the male psyche and to confirm what we might suspect and dismiss what cannot be proven. There are so many myths surrounding what it is to be a man and this course aims to question and to explode many of the outdated or nonsensical philosophies.
These stereotypical attitudes place a huge weight of expectation on men’s shoulders and, when those expectations are not met, lead to stress, disease and dysfunction.
By seeing more clearly, and explaining to our clients more succinctly, that it is OK to be vulnerable as well as being strong, we can aid in the healing process at a truly holistic level.
The issues we discuss are relevant to men of all backgrounds and will provide a platform for investigation during your case-taking.
The techniques I will share with you are highly effective as well as extremely relevant when dealing with male clients, regardless of their condition.
The course also offers a chance for self-examination in your relationships with men and to see how you view yourself. A kind of healer heal thyself.
