This study seeks to better understand how some men use social support and isolation in regulating their emotions. To this end, 13 case studies were conducted with men having consulted a professional counselor. According to their testimonies, prior to consulting, they isolated themselves and were generally reluctant to talk about their problems and feelings. At a certain point in the process of working with a counselor, participants noted that they spoke more about what they were experiencing with friends and family. They feel that talking about it and engaging socially with loved ones helped in better managing their affects, either by allowing them to let off steam or cultivate positive emotions. They think that the social support they received also helped in dealing with the problem situation that triggered the emotional upheaval. They believe that they were able to gain control over their affects in the context of consultation before talking about it with friends and family. In their opinion, this process was facilitated by the climate of emotional security and the professional’s listening, non-judgment, and encouragement in the context of their consultation.
