Male support

​​​​​​​Male support is a guide that empowers with the strong demands it contains. Male support has the task of distracting from self-pity, self-blame and other negative feelings in order to switch to action.

Unlike female support, where there is more warmth, feelings and understanding, this support is often tough and business-like, it resolves both demands and assaults — the main thing is that its task is clear: this is help and support.

Male support is usually appropriate in a situation where it is possible to do something, fix something. Men’s support is more often provided to men, men are more inclined to it↑.

It should be borne in mind that men usually always think that something can always be done (even when it is not), and women are more likely to give up when it is still possible to fight. Modern psychotherapy more often implements a feminine approach and is critical of the masculine approach. See →
