Why Men's Anxiety Often Doesn't Look Like Anxiety
A man arrives in therapy, often referred by a partner who's been trying to get him to come in for a while. He doesn't think anything is really wrong. He's been a bit irritable, sleeping poorly, drinking a little more than he used to. His shoulders hurt. His stomach has been off for months. He thinks he might just need a vacation.
