We explore how emotional avoidance becomes the hidden engine of abuse and why anger is often a mask for shame, fear, and rejection. We share tools for naming feelings, building responsibility, and guiding young men toward honest expression.

• why avoidance, not anger, drives abusive behavior
• how childhood conditioning trains boys to hide emotions
• the real emotions under anger and control
• silent patterns like stonewalling, numbing, and overworking
• how distorted perception poisons trust and communication
• practical tools: feelings wheel, timeouts, “I feel… because… I need…”
• modeling vulnerability with teens and teams
• three weekly reflection questions for growth

This week, name what you're feeling instead of reacting to it. Then share this episode with a man who needs to hear it. If you have a son, sit him down. If he wants to talk or needs someone just to help process feelings and emotions, reach out. I am available and I am willing and wanting to help. For daily motivational and up-to-date content, follow us on Facebook and Instagram at Excellence Above Talent. Remember, keep moving forward, never give up, and you are never alone in this battle.
