A big topic, an important one. Consider this a conversation starter – how can we men take greater responsibility for our emotional awareness and development and how can we support each other in doing so.

I provide more context as to why this is an urgent conversation in the episode, as well as addressing some definitions. 

I suggest five considerations when approaching this work: 

1. Acknowledging that you are a multitude of parts and personalities
2. Realising you are a result of the conditioning you experienced throughout your life, especially the conditioning of your childhood years
3. Understanding these parts and why you do what you do is essential to regulating your nervous system
4. Self-regulation is essential for healthy relationshipping
5. You can change, your’e not inherently broken of flawed

Below are links to teachers referenced in the episode.

I hope this is of value. Have a listen, share it with someone you think needs to hear it and let's do this important and hard work together, with love.
