There's a viral video that's been around for years — a woman with a literal nail in her forehead, her partner trying to point it out, her insisting it's not about the nail. A lot of men have felt deeply seen by it.
In this episode we get underneath why. Why the urge to fix runs so deep in us, what it's actually protecting us from, and why the woman we love so often goes cold the moment we try to help. We get into the unconscious belief most men carry about emotions — that they're inconvenient, inefficient, in the way — and we look at what becomes available when we stop trying to solve her feelings and learn to be with them instead. And for the men who feel like they've got their own emotions handled but hers are the real problem, there's a turn in here for you too.
