Although there is no lack of research on masculinity and help-seeking behavior, men continue to seek counseling less often than women. It is crucial we find effective therapeutic approaches to connect and meet men where they are, acknowledging the positive aspects of their masculinity while addressing their needs in the counseling setting. In this conceptual research article, we propose a new approach for counselors to utilize with men seeking counseling, the Relational Resilience Approach, which applies tenets of Relational-Cultural Theory, Positive Psychology, and Shame Resilience Theory.
尽管关于男性气质和寻求帮助行为的研究并不缺乏，但男性寻求咨询的频率仍然低于女性。我们必须找到有效的治疗方法来与男性建立联系，并满足他们的需求，同时承认他们男性气质的积极方面，这一点至关重要。在这篇概念性的研究文章中，我们为寻求咨询的男性提出了一种新的咨询方法，即关系弹性方法，该方法应用了关系文化理论、积极心理学和羞耻弹性理论的原则。
