The life-coaching industry is similarly ridiculed with hypocrisy and fraudulent activity. With the impending psychedelic revolution in mental health treatments, people are starting to carve out niche job opportunities for themselves, like the psychedelic integration coach. Something needs to be done to ensure the failings of the life-coaching and psychotherapy industries do not transfer over to the field of psychedelics.

In the U.K. in 2020, there were 5,224 suicides, and 75.1% of these were men (ONS, 2020). Many causal factors lead to suicide, but this article will focus on addressing male loneliness to help prevent suicide. This article is not an attempt to argue that men are lonelier than women. The focus of the article is on the problems faced by men in Western society and what can be done to help. We will consider how culture, the media, and a lack of spirituality may be contributing to this problem. We will also consider how traditional psychotherapy may be unsuitable for men and how it can be made more useful. We may need to look away from traditional forms of 'talk therapy' to incorporate approaches that do not solely focus on the intellect, like the body, the field, spirituality, breathwork, and psychedelic therapy.
