Couples Therapists: what are we doing with emotionally bankrupt men

Just as the title states the situation is all too common: a woman who wants to be seen and heard and appreciated and will have emotional breakdowns and a man who consistently lets her down and has no clue how he got there.

They sit in session blank stares. They acknowledge what they did was hurtful but yet nothing changes and they don't know how to fix it. They keep forgetting. They keep making poor choices and statements that they say to their partner, often choosing cold and callous comments.

Lately I've been telling these men to go to individual therapy to learn emotional attunement. I don't know if that's the right call.

What is everybody else doing?
