Owen Marcus started helping men because he realized he needed help with his relationships. His 30-year journey from leading men’s groups led to writing a book, a documentary film on his work and starting three businesses that adapt the science behind stress and trauma therapy, attachment theory, and leadership development to train men to succeed in all their relationships.
His work has been featured in Men’s Health, New York Times, The Today Show, ABC News, NPR, and more. Leading therapists such as Esther Perel and Sue Johnson have endorsed this work because of the sustainable change it produces.
His passion for the work and the men it severs comes through the unique stories he has from decades of doing the work. Both men and women leave inspired and with a new frame to view men and how to help them.
3 Top Tips
My ROC Formula: slow down to Relax, Open up to vulnerability, and reach out for Connection
How we disconnect from our own experience or others is not our fault. Those coping mechanisms are survival strategies that have outlived their usefulness.
We have a growing epidemic of drug use, suicides, loneliness, and despair in part because men as they get older don’t have real friends. We have found easy and fun ways for men to develop some of the deepest friendships of their lives. We are not therapy, addiction recovery, or suicide prevention services, but we have several men come out and say, if it wasn’t for this work, they would have killed themselves. We have created a scalable way for men to help men.
