Systemic biases in therapy for men

Therapy may not be as effective for men due to systemic biases in the field. The majority of patients and therapists in psychotherapy are women. The emphasis on talking about emotions in therapy may be more suited to women, while men tend to express emotions through actions rather than words. Men may feel outgunned in couples counseling and struggle to effectively articulate their feelings in therapy.
