Don Neufeld, Social Worker/Therapist

Don Neufeld, Social Worker/Therapist A forum for sharing with my clients and others the materials that I find meaningful, as resources for personal and societal change. I welcome your feedback.

I have chosen to set up this page as an opportunity to share resources and personal comments for clients and friends who choose to follow. I am committed to the confidentiality of my clients, and I caution you from posting in ways that will identify you. You will find general clinical and social materials that I feel add helpful information as food for thought. You will also note that some of the content has a "religious" flavour, and I hope that no one will feel compelled to believe or follow any specific creed that is not comfortable for you. I post such content because I do have a fair number of clients for whom faith is central to their journey of life.

Change can feel like standing on shifting ground, but self-compassion is what helps us stay steady. When we meet uncertainty with kindness instead of fear, we discover a sense of trust and resilience within ourselves.

Most men don’t lack strength. They lack range.

They know how to fight, but they don’t know how to yield.

They embody stoicism, not softness.

Our culture doesn't teach them how.

We raise boys to perform toughness and call it maturity.

But real maturity is knowing what the moment asks of you — and being able to give it.

Sometimes that means being fierce.

Sometimes it means being gentle.

And the hardest part is knowing which is which.

That’s the work.

70% of men say they have no one to talk to about their emotional struggles — a silent weight most people never see. Psychology research shows that emotional isolation is one of the strongest predictors of anxiety, burnout, and depression in men. This isn’t about weakness — it’s about conditioning. Men are taught to “man up,” stay quiet, and carry everything alone. But real strength isn’t silence… it’s support, community, and honesty. Check on the men you love. And men — you deserve spaces where you’re heard, not judged.
