About BEYOND THE BLUE: A Survival Guide for the Male Labeled, and a Healthier Society for All
Since the pandemic, mental healthcare has become inaccessible to many, and this has hurt certain people more than others (whether that is due to gender bias, racism, transphobia, biphobia, or homophobia). Untreated depression, anxiety, relationship conflict and anger, and trauma pose a risk for all of us in society, so this Survival Guide is essential reading for anyone who needs to tackle these threats to emotional and physical well-being.
Does any of this sound familiar?
• Depression snarls at you like a beast
• Anxiety burns through the pit of your stomach like a fireball
• You are constantly angry and in conflict with people around you
• A ten-ton trauma drags you down
Without the right help, any one of these issues can threaten your career, your business, or your personal relationships.
What if you discovered that you already carry survival tools to help you to tackle these threats to your emotional and physical well-being?
Like blazes on a trail, this Survival Guide will guide you through the rougher paths of the journey that is your life, teaching you how to prepare for these darker days, what to do when the storm arrives, and how to survive and thrive so you do not plunge from disturbance to crisis. Within these pages, you will find advice that is based on the latest research in neuroscience, strategies from the most effective approaches to psychotherapy, and Chris Warren-Dickins’s experience as a psychotherapist.
This Survival Guide offers an alternative approach to the corner-cut logic that is labeling. When it comes to survival of depression, anxiety, relationship conflict and anger, or trauma, labels can sometimes fail to help because we are more complex and sophisticated than that.
Chris invites us to look beyond the blue of the male label that was given to us, with an appreciation that our lived reality may differ compared with some of the assumptions associated with this label. These assumptions act as significant obstacles to adequate mental healthcare, and the reality is that there is little opportunity for adequate and accessible mental healthcare for people who have been given the male label. This was already a problem before the pandemic, and now it has become a healthcare crisis. Untreated depression, anxiety, relationship conflict and anger, and trauma pose a risk for all of us in society.
This Survival Guide offers adequate and accessible mental healthcare so you can survive and thrive, despite depression, anxiety, relationship conflict and anger, and trauma. If you are still in need of help beyond this book, there is advice about how to separate the good from the bad and ugly forms of professional help.
