How Vulnerable Is Too Vulnerable For Women?


Listen Later

Women are turned on by emotionally strong men — they crave rugged masculinity.

But if you’re going through the therapeutic process, you have to lower the gates to the castle. In short, you need to be vulnerable. And during your process of healing and growing, it might be too much for your significant other. There’s a possibility she’ll think you're an “emotional basket case.”

Worst part?

If you don’t include her in your transformation, there’s a real chance she’ll feel threatened and alienated by your progress — and the relationship could terminate because of it.

That’s the bad news.

The good news?

I reveal how to undertake the therapeutic process — without alienating your significant other.

Today’s also a special episode, because for the first time, we have a guest. Today’s guest is Brandon, and we have an on-air, live chat about how to figure out exactly how vulnerable he should be in front of women. We also delve into exactly WHY he feels vulnerable, as well as the coping strategies he unknowingly implements.

Listen now!

  • The “unblending” strategy to stop a flurry of overwhelming emotions (and finally be able to settle down into a long-term relationship) (37:22)
  • Why attending therapy with your significant ensures you don’t become an “emotional basket case” in front of her (39:18)
