Description
Many men experience powerlessness over their compulsive behaviour, often leading to feeling stuck and lost. Shame, guilt, anger, isolation, and pain have become the driving forces within your life. Relationships with the people you care about the most, including yourself, have been impacted by your behaviour. You have started to question whether you are a good father, son, or partner. No matter how hard you try or what you do, it seems like you will never be free from the mental, physical, financial, and interpersonal effects of your actions. You are not alone, and therapy can help.
