Primer is excited to announce our new monthly advice column, Soapbox Therapy, created for guys just like us who may need some anonymous counsel from time to time.
Advice column? You may be thinking that kind of thing is reserved for the shallow analysis of girly teen magazines like Cosmopolitan or Seventeen. But we are men with real lives, and sometimes we need a little guidance. You may be looking for direction for something that you know your buddies won't understand, or you're too embarrassed to ask anyone about. Or, maybe you're looking for the opinions of an educated expert.
We searched high and low for a professional who would be a good fit for the forward thinking, self-improving, introspective readers of Primer. The truth is, there are a lot of therapists and life coaches out there, but no one who really gets it, calls it like it is, and is actually intelligent, effective, and progressive. Therapists are smart…but modern, fresh, and relevant? Hard to find. 
But then, we met Brooke.
Brooke is an advice columnist, a published writer, and a therapist (Masters Degree, the whole bit). She’s professional, and pretty damn cute to boot. But she’s more than a pretty face with a degree, she’s real. She's got the goods to deliver what Primer's readers need.
She’s been cheated on (no longer bitter so she claims) and even admits to have cheated — a long time ago. She’s watched her house burn down. She’s had 2 brain surgeries. She has broken hearts and has had her heart broken…more than once. She’s had one night stands and long term relationships.
She’s the girl you wish you always had around, because she gets it — we also think she’s the therapist we all need once in awhile. Brooke is refreshing, and now she’s our Primer girl…and we’re happy to have her. Like we said, goods…delivered.
Send your questions, get real advice.
Starting now you can send questions to Soapbox Therapy, directly to Brooke about love, life, family, relationships, sex…all of it. And by the way no one will know who the question is coming from. All is confidential.
Wishing you the best,
The Primer Team
