Men and Loss, Dr. Jim O’Neil

Loss is a universal human experience. With that said, many men have difficulty working through and accepting the various forms of losses that occur over the course of a life time. This difficulty can be traced in part to how men are taught to approach grief related issues by using restrictive emotionality and control issues, both of which can inhibit working through process. We will explore how men can take painful loss experiences and transform them into meaningful life events. Our guest is Dr. Jim O’Neil, a pioneer in the area of the psychology of men.
