ALL THAT REMAINS frontman Phil Labonte has sparked controversy with his recent statement that 'therapy is for women.' The singer made his original comments earlier this month while speaking to Bill Bailey of Today's Boondoggle Podcast about his op-ed, 'The Silent Crisis: Why Society Is Failing Men And Boys.' In the piece, Labonte highlighted rising male disengagement from education, work, and community, alongside increasing rates of depression, addiction, and suicide.

He claimed that men need to be treated differently than women when it comes to addressing their problems.

Labonte told Bailey that men don't solve their problems by talking, but rather through action.

He stated that men need goals that are achievable, and they need to make progress to those goals in order to feel empowered and fulfilled.

However, his comments have been met with criticism from some quarters, including former CRADLE OF FILTH keyboardist Lindsay Schoolcraft.

In an interview with BLABBERMOUTH.NET, Schoolcraft responded to Labonte's remarks by saying that he is not a healthcare professional or psychologist, and that therapy has helped many men transform their lives.

However, Labonte doubled down on his comments in a recent video post on X, stating that studies have shown that therapy works better for women than men, and that he was simply stating this fact.

The debate surrounding Labonte's statement has reignited the conversation around mental health and how different genders address their problems.

While some people have criticized Labonte's comments as toxic or outdated, others have defended his right to express his opinions.

As the discussion continues, one thing is clear: the topic of men's mental health and the effectiveness of therapy in addressing it remains a contentious issue.\012
