Therapy for Depression and Emotional Numbness in Men
Jeffrey Tower is a certified bilingual psychotherapist working with adult men who are living with low mood, emptiness, loss of interest, exhaustion or emotional numbness. Therapy may include behavioural activation and cognitive work where appropriate, DBT regulation skills, values-based action from ACT, Schema Therapy and dynamic/psychodynamic work, chosen with the individual. Psychotherapy is not always sufficient on its own, and medical or psychiatric evaluation is sometimes appropriate. Sessions are in English or Hebrew, in Modi'in, Tel Aviv and Jerusalem or online, by appointment via WhatsApp.
Depression does not look the same from one person to the next, and in men it is not always experienced as sadness. Some describe flatness rather than pain: going through the week competently, doing what is required, and feeling almost nothing about any of it. Others notice mainly the exhaustion, the irritability, or the fact that things they used to enjoy have quietly stopped mattering.
Emotional numbness can be confusing precisely because it does not feel dramatic. A man may still be working, still showing up for his family, still answering messages — and still describe watching his own life through glass. Because functioning continues, the difficulty often goes unnamed for a long time, including by the person living with it.
If this is an emergency: If you or someone else is in immediate danger, contact the local emergency services where you are physically located or go to the nearest emergency department. In Israel, ERAN provides emotional first aid at 1201. In the United States, call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline; call 911 when there is immediate physical danger. Jeffrey Tower Therapy and Jeffrey’s WhatsApp number are not emergency or crisis services and are not continuously monitored.
