Men's Work Session - Reckoning With Past Abscence And Anger

Talking points: parents, anger, unavailability

My guest this week came to work on how can't see any path other than "it's all on me", as well as a feeling of emotional distance from his father. But why? What's hidden in the shadow that connects the two?

This is an excellent episode to get a feel for the work in action—and how we so easily bury certain parts of ourselves and others in the unconscious.


(00:00:00) - Intro, what my guest is struggling with, and his family situation

(00:10:30) - How my guest’s teenage self felt in the moment

(00:19:16) - What’s really going on

(00:27:01) - What my guest has realized
