Do you find it difficult to express yourself? Need help to get in touch with your emotions?

Then keep reading because Men Should Talk is just what you need to take that first step towards positive change.

In this comprehensive, easy-to-read book Gareth Palmer shares:

valuable examples of men who have tentatively begun therapy with feelings of shame and guilt and emerged happier and more balanced
real insights into why men suffer from anxiety and depression (and exercises to help overcome these conditions)
expert advice on how to move away from the compulsions that drive men towards a more easeful and authentic way of living
and much more.

Unlike other books in this genre, Men Should Talk is based on what works. The author has drawn on his 12 years' experience as a Manchester-based therapist working with men from all walks of life to create this one-of-a-kind book. His practical model of the self demonstrates how you have developed relationships with your body, other people, your thinking and your emotions – four fundamental relationships which are unconscious reactions to your environment.

Once you understand how you have become the way you are, you can begin to make those all-important, life-enhancing changes.

About the Author

Gareth Palmer qualified as a therapist in 2000 and has been working exclusively with men since 2009. He has been through a variety of work experiences as a waiter, musician, clerk, film-maker and professor.

His own road to therapy has included periods of depression and anxiety which enable him able to connect to clients and conduct sessions which are not clinically cold and formal but relaxed and amiable. As part of his work to explore men's relationships to their emotions he has made films, created artworks and spoken publicly on various platforms.

This is not his first book - he has published books on Bruce Springsteen and working-class men in film and television amongst others. However this is by far his most impassioned work reflecting his belief that men should talk.
