[QUOTE="Mountain Man, post: 197592, member: 14411"] I would think that stress management is job one on this. I am a psychotherapist and specialize in working with men. I always go the stress management route first and if the client will do it, they always get some noticeable results. Moderate exercise, more if they want, good diet and sleep, and some CBT. For CBT, I combine brief periods of meditation, at least 10 minutes per day and more if the guy gets into it and journaling. Journaling for 5 to 10 minutes in morning and evening sessions is optimal, more if something needs to be processed. I have a number of exercise I prescribe for specific issues that will inevitably pop up that facilitate the benefits of journaling. Of course we also look at people, places, and things that cause upset to their lives. Medication, especially as powerful as TRT, should not be approached lightly. Don’t know about coaches, but as a therapist I cannot make suggestions too bluntly. Funny thing is that a lot of guys will hire a coach for a lot of money when their insurance could get them a psychotherapist for the cost of a copayment. I tell my client that stress management is a process not an event and they need to work that as if it was physical exercise and do the work whether things are going good or bad. I use metaphors that appeal to male mentality and divide the work into Maintenance and Problem Solving areas and prescribe exercises for both. Sorry for long response, but the answer is maybe. I would just try other things first. I would assume that high end CEOs want a quick fix. There is no such thing. [/QUOTE]
