Why High-Achieving Men Like Mark Secretly Struggle in Relationships – And How Therapy Helps Executives Reclaim Control

Worried about a relationship? That's what therapy is for 

Mark runs his team with efficient kindness. He doesn’t entertain nonsense but if someone has a genuine issue, he’s helpful and guides them to make useful choices and helpful changes.

But his dating life is different.
Mark’s Lucy is wonderful: bright, sexy and fun.

Lucy has a fab job but rarely picks up a bill.
Mark pays for dinners, holidays, and treats.
Lucy is effusive in her thanks but Mark tots it all up and it feels wrong.

Mark is hesitant to speak up.
He’s not sure why.

Maybe it’s because ‘real men pick up the bills.’
Something he feels may not be right?

Or maybe he worries that Lucy will be angry.
He knows that shouldn’t stop him. He feels shame even thinking that.

As life is overall excellent, Mark buries the problem. But a few months later he realizes it’s affecting his focus. It nags him but he’s not sure who to speak to.
So he continues, vaguely unhappy and feeling secretly helpless.

This is what therapy is for.
Sessions are private spaces where Mark can say what he thinks, work out what is happening, and figure out approaches that work best for him.

If you’re a Mark, take action.
You deserve to be happy.
