Men‘s Mental Health

Sidqie is a Professional Life Coach and works with fathers, young adults and leaders. He focuses on building emotionally intelligent families, and is particularly passionate about working with Men & Mental Health.

 

In this episode, Sidqie very humbly recounts his personal journey, including relationship breakdowns, and the major turning point of him losing a dear friend to suicide.

 

Sidqie also dives into issues of the stigma of men’s mental health, cultural influences, issues  around men’s attitudes towards vulnerability, and draws on some intimate familial anecdotes of how his emotions of pain and anguish were not acknowledged nor received. Yet, Sidqie manages to reframe some of his most unfortunate tales with compassion and understanding.

 

He shares a holistic account on the multifaceted areas of mental health awareness amongst men such as:

• Issues around shame,
• Negative self-talk,
• Various behavioural manifestations of escapism such as gaming,
• Impacts on work, children, and romantic relationships.

Sidqie also offers some insights and practices into reflecting and bringing the unconscious to the conscious mind.
