Eddie Capparucci is a master at helping men see, perhaps for the first time, why they have had so much difficulty in their lives and how important it is to learn how to use self-compassion at any age. His brilliant writing style makes you feel that you are in his therapy office as he opens the door to self-discovery and motivation. This book teaches men not only how to give self-love but to own that they have deserved it all along!”
Carol Juergensen Sheets LCSW, CSAT, CCPS-S, PCC, EMDR, author of Help. Her. Heal.
“I am recommending this book to clinicians, clergy, those who are struggling, and those affected by the struggle like a spouse or parent. Eddie’s insights into the relational challenges faced by addicts and our overarching need for love to be healthy are presented with compelling anecdotes, strong science-based facts, an understanding of the spiritual component of healing, and practical antidotes that can be incorporated immediately into the recovery journey. If you have ever recognized that “being sober” is not enough as the addict, the caregiver, or the affected party, then this book will be a great resource to you.”
Jim O’Day CLC, SPARC, Executive Director, Integrity Restored
“As Eddie demonstrates in this book, the larger problem for men with sexual addictions is an underlying relationship disorder. Eddie taps into this reality in Why Men Struggle by uncovering 14 different blind spots that can hinder a man’s ability to form healthy relationships, even after sobriety, and how to overcome them. This book fills a gap in recovery content, particularly for men in the second stage of transformation. This book is an excellent resource for men, but also counselors, support group facilitators, mentors, and sponsors.”
