Good article:

A clinical psychologist on why men still don’t seek help for their mental health

01/30/2026

When a client experiences trauma, they don't just lose their sense of safety.
They also lose connection. Emotional control. Their vision for the future.
But in our own work with trauma, Leanne Campbell, PhD, and I have discovered an often overlooked element of healing. And that is . . . . . when a client is able to work through these losses, it can actually open the door to what they need (and want) most.
So how do we help them do this?
That’s what Leanne and I will be getting into in an all-new live workshop hosted by our friends at NICABM: An Attachment Focused Approach to Trauma and Loss.

Here’s the agenda:

• The 5-step approach that works especially well for attachment trauma
• How to work with the grief and loss that come from trauma
• How to help clients destigmatize trauma by viewing it through an attachment lens
• Case examples that show you attachment theory in practice
• How to replace the defensive, protective cycle of trauma with a positive cycle of responsiveness

We’ll go live on Tuesday, February 10th from noon - 3pm ET (US).

And if you register now, you’ll save 50% off your registration.

We’ll be taking your questions periodically throughout the workshop.

I hope you’ll plan to join us.

Our fights aren’t just about feelings triggered in everyday issues outside the bedroom or sexual issues inside the bedroom; it’s about both at once.

Calling Men everywhere to join me at the MELD retreat, so we can all help each other authentically connect better.

MELD PRIME Retreat & Training Feb 19-22, Joshua Tree, CA:
https://app.meld.community/prime-retreat-order-form

The PRIME Retreat is a 4-day, 3-night somatic training for men who are ready to root out the causes of their patterns of dysregulation, collapse, and self-sabotage. Using a science-backed method developed and refined over 40 years of practice, we work with the nervous system, where these unconscious patterns live, to resolve old protective behaviors that have outlived their utility. PRIME is for men who are competent but leaking energy, responsible but internally strained, successful but fragmented. PRIME gives men a direct experience of the MELD system for increasing functional capacity when it counts.MELD

Men are not taught how to remain stable, clear, and connected when life gets hard. Men don’t need healing, motivation, or insight—they need a reliable process to allow them to shift deeply ingrained patterns of behavior. MELD is not a philosophy—it’s a system. It’s trainable. The MELD Method™ is science-backed, based in 7 decades of research on how stress impacts the body. MELD’s unique blend of science, somatic awareness, community engagement, and a focus on causality creates a holistic system that transcends traditional wellness/growth methods. MELD men experience not just temporary relief or superficial changes but deep, lasting transformation that permeates all aspects of their lives.

For therapists to explore well, we need to tolerate the space of unknowing! To make the implicit explicit we need to be okay not having answers!
