Men's Work Session - Permission To Grieve

Talking points: transitioning, parents, resistance

Sometimes in life, we feel stuck, and that can happen even after you've done "the work" and developed a deeper understanding of how your past shaped your present. My anon guest this week (like many of us) has trouble feeling feelings. Together, we dig a little into where that comes from and why.

(00:00:00) - Intro and what it was like growing up

(00:09:23) - “It’s hard for me to feel the hurt”

(00:14:21) - What transitioning was like, and how we can honor both our parents and ourselves

(00:23:55) - Connecting with grief

(00:32:25) - It’s sometimes more about claiming what it was we wanted
