Description
I Don’t Want to Talk About It is a psychological non-fiction book about male depression and the ways men can hide emotional pain from those around them, and even from themselves. Drawing on more than twenty years of experience treating men and their families, psychotherapist Terrence Real examines behaviours such as difficulty with intimacy, workaholism, alcoholism, rage and abusive behaviour, and considers how these can be connected to underlying depression.
Real combines psychological insight with stories from his work with patients and his own experiences as the son of a violent, depressed father and the father of two young sons. He explores how men can confront their pain, heal themselves, restore relationships and break destructive patterns that can be passed from one generation to the next. A thoughtful choice for readers interested in depression, men’s emotional health, relationships and psychology.
