Well said. When you remarked "Our thoughts that is it somehow "wrong" to make self-improvement about ourselves" (that it is selfish) - well, I do feel ( and observe) that men in particular are often not willing to see a counselor, a psychiatrist, or even read a self-help book.

I have noticed that women (as a whole) do seem to be more OPEN to going to Counseling sessions (like Couples counseling), see a psychologist/psychiatrist ) than men. Do any of you have an opinion on this?

I'd Like to hear it. This is just my opinion - what I've observed.

I have done some counseling in the past.
