Beyond Men and Masculinity
I haven't been able to stop thinking about this documentary since watching it last week.
I think it is a beautiful yet heart wrenching insight into how men are conditioned/cultured into disconnection with self at a very young age, and how that acculturation harms everyone.
It features, amongst other practitioners, Terry Real, whose writing on men, self esteem and relationships was an important part of my formative training.
I really urge anyone to watch this for an understanding of what patriarchal structures uphold in how men see themselves in relationship with self and others. I watched it on Netflix but see it is also available for free on YouTube :

Beyond Men and Masculinity explores how men see themselves, how the...

If the cost of counselling is a barrier to accessing support then I want to be able to help.
I am very pleased to now be able to offer a number of subsidised slots for clients who are on a low income or benefits. If you wish to find out more please contact me directly through the contact form on my website: https://greenferncounselling.com/contact/

And if there is anyone who you think could benefit, please share this with them.

An interesting piece on Substack by Stuart Hillston which I wholeheartedly agree with, and as a supervisor to all sorts of professions, I would be so disappointed were the power and privilege to do such work limited to working with only those in select professions.

Supervision is for everyone

Some children hold it together all day at school… only to completely unravel the moment they get home.

Not because home is the problem, but because it’s the first place they finally feel safe enough to let go.

The Exchange and Neuropathways Clinic are coming together for an important online session exploring after school restraint collapse and why so many neurodivergent children and young people experience emotional exhaustion, overwhelm, meltdowns or shutdowns after the school day ends.

This workshop will help families better understand what’s happening beneath the surface, why these patterns occur, and practical ways to support children more compassionately and effectively at home.

If you’ve ever found yourself wondering “Why are they fine at school but falling apart at home?” this session is for you.

A day very well spent on Saturday at a CPD training in Somatic Resourcing with baxter.

We learned about using techniques with clients that will support them in up and down regulating nervous system states, moving emotion like anger through the body and accessing their power. We got to try out all of the techniques suggested and I came away with so much wisdom from Mhari who is highly skilled as a dance movement psychotherapy practitioner, and so generous.

If you ever get the chance, I highly recommend attending one her future trainings.
