Surely you heard of “Hot Girl Summer”. You may be familiar with “Sardine Girl Summer”.
But now it is the turn of the boys: in 2025 it is officially “Therapy Bro Summer”.
More men ever receive help for their mental health, and the post spoke to several therapists to find out what they are wearing.
Therapy by 2025: The hottest health mania?
Therapy has been a bit of receipt over the last decades, with celebrities and users of social networks more and more open about their experiences with anxiety, depression and addiction, once they are used to be super-taboo and inspire more and more people to seek help.
“As the stigma associated with mental health treatment continues to increase, men are definitely more proactive in seeking help so that previous generations of men had not been,” The Post John Montagna, MHC-LP in the Greenwich House resilience and Wellness center.
But although women have always tended to be a little more comfortable talking about their feelings, men have been a little further back.
That is why it has been as remarkable that world-class athletes like the Olympic Michael Phelps, the star of the NBA Derozan Demar and the Football Hall of Famer Brian Dawkins, have talked about their struggles, and shows how “Shrinking” at Appletv+ Megalight Mega-Stars like Harrison Ford and Jason Segel in the field.
“ The combination of social media, therapy that becomes mainstream on television and films, changes in evolution and exciting in gender roles, and the fierce courage of popular celebrities and athletes have created a perfect storm of impulse hereinafter, ” added Dr. Rachel Ginsberg, a Newyork-Presbyterian Psychologist/Columbia University Irving Medical Center.
“I often refer to a scene of” is always sunny in Philadelphia “where one of the main characters resists therapy and, after a moving expression of his feelings, shouts:” You disassociate me! “”
But it is not only that men are depressed, many simply seek a better understanding of themselves to try to be happier.
What women want
Then of course there are women in their lives or those who hopes to attract.
“Women want to be with men who are aware of themselves, emotionally intelligent and good listeners, with the ability to notice, feel, validate and go out of themselves to see and take care of the other,” said Ginsberg.
“The more men can become vulnerable and in contact with their emotions, the better their life.”
Dr. Kathryn SMERLING
“They want to be with men who have humility and confidence and are not afraid to reflect, grow, shout and communicate.”
She states that dating applications now have directions that reference therapy, including, “My therapist would say I …”
“This is a testament to how the therapy rhetoric is becoming a way to drop the guard and connection with others,” he said.
Psychotherapist, Dr. Kathryn Smerling, said that a man in therapy is considered a “green flag” for many young women, showing that they want to get rid of
“They are interested and curious about the ways of improving, which means that they can bring this emotional intelligence and care to a romantic relationship,” he continued.
“We now also hear much more about the importance of men who embrace their emotions and not bottled things, which must be vulnerable to men if they want to have a healthy relationship.”
In fact, a survey published in May by the Hilly Dating Application found that 55% of women on gene Z refuse to a man if they are not at least willing to go to therapy and 45% find people who make more attractive therapy.
This number increases to 55% for ancient women.
“Self -current: emotional literacy, authentic confidence, humility and the ability to make healthy decisions, naturally will make someone an attractive companion and better partner in any relationship, romantic or otherwise,” added Montagna.
Happy mood, happy friend
But although it is a great way to increase your romantic perspectives, this is a fairly large commitment: of time and Money: Only to get a date.
According to our three experts, men are becoming less and smaller by a lot of reasons, from a better family life to emotional regulation.
“People now seek internally and intentionally having a better labor/life balance,” Smeerling said, author of Learn to play again: Rediscover our first to become better adults.
“Men also get more involved with their children. They often seek therapy because they want a better relationship with their children.”
They are not just young boys either. Smerling has many patients at the age of 40 and 50, and Montagna and Ginsberg say they have patients of all ages, but how old they can influence the way they come to therapy.
“Younger men have socialized differently,” said Ginsberg. “Although younger men are more active and ready to pursue therapy, older men will also look for therapy, especially around life transitions, such as health events, changes in roles or jobs, around loss or retirement or at the family/friends’s elbow.”
Prepared for “Summer Therapy”?
Isn’t it yet so psychological to see a psychologist? The benefits say you have nothing to lose, and everything to win.
“The more men can become vulnerable and in contact with their emotions, the better their life and healthier they will all their relationships, not only romantically,” Smerling said.
To get the most out of the game, Ginsberg urges you to do it for “correct reasons” and set specific goals to “feel more linked to the profitability of your investment”.
And make sure your “summer therapy” becomes an “introspective autumn” and “vulnerable emotional winter”.
“There is no shame to seek help to deal with your emotions, just as there would be no shame to visit a doctor in the eye if your vision was blurred!” said Montagna, the main mental health counselor in the group of group therapy for CRW -resistant men.
“We definitely live at a time when masculinity is redefined and men are looking for guidance to navigate a social, political and economic landscape that changes rapidly. But we can succeed and prosper if we are not afraid to seek support.”
