The MAN M.A.P. The Man M.A.P. (Meaning And Purpose) is a great tool to foster open communication with men, individually and in groups, about the struggles of maintaining healthy relationships with others (especially spouses and children). The MAN MAP discussion centers on four truths about things most men struggle with and then reveals six questions that help nurture healthy self-talk – giving men the opportunity to 1) challenge social norms about men and emotions, 2) open a dialogue about any past painful experiences or trauma, and 3) reveal and process unmet needs and unrealized potential. This discussion creates opportunities for significant personal growth in relationships, social contexts, and the workplace. It also reveals the need for more profound one-on-one intervention for some men. The goal is to bring men to the courageous place to be open, authentic, and vulnerable with struggles they usually hold onto and either ignore or try to deal with alone. The four truths are: 1. The ONE thing men fear most – Feelings 2. The TWO lies many men believe are vulnerability is weakness, and they are too busy to worry about themselves. 3. The THREE things we all need: Belonging, Love, and Purpose. The three things we must nurture with our partners are ensuring they feel heard, valued, and understood. 4. The FOUR phrases men often struggle with the most are 1) I was wrong, 2) I don’t know, 3) I am sorry, and 4) I need help. The SIX questions we often need to take a break and ask ourselves, especially when we are experiencing friction in life: What am I aware of? What am I believing right now? What am I choosing? What am I desiring? What am I fearing?
