Guys, here's some honest talk... The intention was to always keep access to this community free - but I've now seen a problem with that. We've got 66 members and I only ever see the same 3 or 4 active here. Why? Because when you get something for free, you don't value it as much and don't make the most of it. I would much rather have 40 members with really high engagement than 100 with very low engagement. Therefore, once we hit 80 members, I'll be moving the free tier to £9/mo. DON'T WORRY - you guys already here, and anyone else who joins before we reach 80 will have grandfather rights and maintain your no cost access. When people pay - even a little - the are more likely to either engage or leave. That is what I want. So, take the opportunity. Any of your family or friends who you feel could benefit from access here, send them your referral link ASAP. Peace!

Guys - I've tried setting up weekly support calls before but no-one attends. I run them for my paying clients and they get a lot of value. so, what more support do you need? Would you like a weekly call for a Q&A, weekly teaching topic, share wins and challenges etc.? If so, when each week? Let me know and we'll make it happen.

This study supports everything we’re about at StrongDads. Brotherhood, community, shared hardship and shared problems. Opportunities to hear similar experiences, witness another man working through difficulty, contribute support and discover that struggle is not evidence of personal failure. A brief isolation/belonging measure could help test whether this is actually occurring. 🔱 A secondary analysis of an RCT involving 60 adults with PTSD compared two very different 16-week online programmes: an Internal Family Systems-informed intervention and a nature-based stress-reduction programme. Both combined weekly group sessions with fortnightly individual sessions. In both arms, reduced isolation was associated with less self-judgement, better emotional regulation and reduced PTSD symptoms. Joss et al., ⁠Scientific Reports⁠, accepted 13 July and published 18 July 2026⁠ - What is new: The study begins to examine why groups help, rather than merely whether they help. Despite markedly different content, reduced feelings of being alone in one’s suffering appeared important in both programmes. - Why it matters: Brotherhood may be more than a pleasant by-product of group work. Recognising one’s struggles in another person can reduce shame and self-criticism, potentially creating more capacity for regulation and change. - For counselling: A group can complement individual work by addressing the belief that “this is uniquely wrong with me”. In individual sessions, carefully chosen normalisation may offer part of the same corrective experience.
