What’s New:

 

You are successful in life but feel like something is missing

You may have met your career goals, but feel a need to get more out of life. Perhaps you have a romantic partner and friends, but you have the feeling that there is something missing. Maybe you have had trouble finding a suitable partner.  Group and individual therapy can help gay men sort out the underlying issues.

I have some questions we would consider in your therapy:

Do you have a clear sense of purpose in life beyond the specifics of your job?  What is your higher purpose in this world?

Have you assessed recently what is most meaningful to you? Have you questioned whether your underlying values may have shifted by this point in your life? Maybe they have changed and you have not realigned your life to meet your most important needs.

Is your career choice allowing you to express your deepest values and passions? 

Are your current relationships meeting your needs for satisfying connections? 

Is there some way in which you need to go deeper in some of your friendships and romantic connections, but you don’t know how to get there?

What is your level of engagement with your community? 

Do you feel a need for more adventure, but lack a healthy way to proceed?

How are you expressing your creativity in your current life?  Research has shown that unexpressed creativity is one of the most underrated sources of pain in this world.

Have you set some specific goals so you can see your progress toward new growth?

Having great success in life can be very satisfying, but that might not be enough to meet all your needs for a full life.

Maybe it is time to take stock and explore some of these vital questions with a supportive group of men who are asking similar questions in their own lives. Let’s get going.
