The Men’s Circle

Emotional Illiteracy (Not a Personal Failing)

THE MEN’S CIRCLE — SESSION 6

Emotional Illiteracy (Not a Personal Failing)

Many men were never taught how to understand or express what they feel.

It’s not a lack of depth —
it’s often a lack of language.

When emotions are hard to name, they can show up in other ways:
stress, withdrawal, frustration, or simply feeling disconnected.

This session explores:
• Why emotional language can be difficult for men
• How emotions show up in the body and behaviour
• How awareness can grow without pressure or judgement

A calm space to explore what’s often left unspoken.

Work, Worth & Identity

THE MEN’S CIRCLE — SESSION 5

Work, Worth & Identity

Many men are defined — by themselves and by others — through what they do.

Work can bring purpose, structure, and pride.
But over time, it can also become tied to identity and self-worth in ways that are difficult to see.

When work is going well, we feel steady.
When it isn’t, it can affect far more than just our careers.

This session explores:
• The link between work and self-worth
• Who we are beyond what we do
• What happens when identity is tied to performance

A space to reflect, speak honestly — or simply listen.

📍 The Lemon Tree, 1st Ave, Walmer, GQ
🗓 Sunday 31 May
⏰ 11:00 – 12:30

Calm, facilitated conversation.
No pressure to speak. Listening counts.
No charge to attend.

If it resonates, you’re welcome.
