After interviewing over 350 men, I'm not surprised that the suicide rates are so much higher for men than for women. What society tells men is damaging their relationships and all too often actually killing them... and for what? The messages that society teaches men don't pay off in the ways they promise.

If you want to stop the pain of divorce, regain your confidence and move forward with purpose, hope and energy, then I can help.

I’m Rachael Sloan, Master NLP Practitioner, certified life coach, and the creator of Better Beyond Divorce. I've helped hundreds of men move past the shock, betrayal, grief and anger they experience both during and after a divorce, to a place of clarity, calm and confidence. I hope to help you do the same.

Over the last 2 ½ years I’ve interviewed several hundred men, most of who were suffering after a painful divorce.

I’d been told, about how easy life is for men and that women are the victims of ociety steeped in patriarchy and misogyny, wasn’t entirely accurate.

But then I started talking to men.

Men don't have it 'easy'. In fact, men are already 3.5 times more likely to commit suicde than women. If you look at the divorced population, divorced men are 9 times more likely to die by suicide than divorced women. If that's not evidence that men don't have an easier lot in life, I don't know what is.

And the tragedy is that none of this is men's fault. Society tells men a lot of B.S. that is directly contributing to their suffering.

Here's just a few of the messages that society tells (and many men internalize):

Don't cry.
Your anger is dangerous.
You are the problem.
Your pain isn't as bad as her pain.

The more I learned the more I realized that society tells men to suppress everything. Suppress what you feel. Suppress what you need.

But it's a lose-lose situation. Because if you DO suppress everything, then you get accused of being a narcissist, a control freak, emotionally insensitive or even emotionally abusive.

Society lies to men.
