Author: Craig Nakken

Men’s Issues in Recovery identifies and addresses the ten most common male stereotypes and helps men begin to confront denied emotions, talk about what hurts, and seek support from other men in recovery.

Excerpt:
“Growing in recovery necessitates that you examine and redefine your values.  This has an added dimension for men, who often feel constricted by the stereotypes that society sets before them.

With deep insight, noted author and therapist Craig Nakken explores ten “myths of manhood” – roles, and expectations about what it means to be a man – and explains how continuing to live according to these limiting roles can hinder your growth in recovery and as a human being.”
