One of the most common statements we hear when talking with men is “Only If”. ONLY IF… I had the right job, ONLY IF… I made a little bit more money, ONLY IF… my wife understood what I am going through and the list goes on and on. The ironic part is that IF I did get that perfect job, there would be another ONLY IF moment shortly after. Listen to Bill Dehkes and Mark Meier talk about “ONLY IF”.

Traditional methods of treating depression will involve medication and therapy. Studies have shown that these practices do not work for everyone. Here at Face It we feel that there are many other options for a man, suffering from depression to try. One of these “Tools” is journaling. I know, you dont like to write, you dont have time and I am sure that there are plenty other excuses out there. Journaling can be a very important tool in helping one express their feels. Going back and reading your previous journal entries will often give you a different perspective on life events that seem totally hopeless at the time. Journaling can be your own type of personal therapy. Listen to this weeks podcast to hear what Mark Meier and Bill Dehkes think about journaling and some tips to get you started. Here at Face It, we WORK with men to overcome depression…it does take WORK and journaling is a great place to start.
