Why does it feel like the therapist is always on your case, even when your wife is the one shutting down emotionally?

In this video, I explain why anxious men—like many of you—end up being the focus in therapy sessions... and it’s not because the therapist is against you. It's because you're actually the one most likely to change and grow.

We’ll talk science, psychology, and real-life patterns I’ve seen in hundreds of men who come to Help For Men. I’ll walk you through:

Why anxious men are more likely to do the work

Why avoidant women tend to resist therapy

What the data says about who actually becomes secure

How your own healing can change the relationship—or your entire life

If you're tired of dragging your wife to therapy while getting all the blame, this one's for you.
