S: 我在富裕家庭长大,但父亲酗酒,这让我学会压抑情绪。离婚后,我与女儿们失去联系,内心停滞不前,充满恐惧和羞愧。我害怕释放情绪,因为我担心会变得软弱。我感到羞愧,因为我让女儿们失望了,尽管我已经尽力联系她们。我内心深处不喜欢自己,因为我犯了很多错误,无法释怀。我还没有处理我父亲、母亲、哥哥的去世以及失去女儿的悲伤。 Connor Beaton: 羞耻感通常不是我们自己的,而是从别人那里传递给我们的,告诉我们应该能够控制无法控制的事情。你真正的一面是一个充满悲伤的人,而这种悲伤从未得到充分的表达。这么多的悲伤没有被处理和感受,导致你的系统关闭。你需要找到可以释放悲伤的空间和场所,否则很难解冻。许多男人不释放悲伤,因为他们担心如果释放出来,会迷失自我,或者没有人知道如何引导他们。如果你能被正确的人和环境所支持,你就能度过悲伤,变得更加充满活力。悲伤需要被见证。你带着这么多的悲伤,还能做到今天这样,真是太了不起了。

Talking points: trauma, validation, mindset, relationships

Recently, I put out a call on Instagram: who wants to join me for a short, recorded Q&A. We had a TON of respondents, but I wanted to highlight four in particular that I feel are unique, but at the same time offer a window into what so many men endure. 

These are everyday men from completely different walks of life, all different ages, but united in a single fact: they’re doing the work. I’m deeply grateful to each of them for agreeing to be on the show. 

(00:00:00) - The story of S, six years sober, who struggles with people pleasing and feeling stuck

(00:16:04) - C’s struggle with internal validation and the relationship with his father

(00:35:15) - D’s working on feeling worthy, but his relationships have never felt safe or trustworthy

(00:56:47) - P wrestles with some of the contradictions in the self-help space and past trauma
