Michael Anderson is a couples/family therapist and coach who helps people find deeper healing and connection with themselves and others. 

In this conversation, we explore topics like understanding trauma, why it matters, how we go through the process of healing and reconnection, understanding triggers, and unhelpful vs. helpful processing.

John then speaks up about the challenges of being a parent and father, and we explore some concepts of repair, emotional regulation, and how to change our reactive patterns by getting more comfortable with our own discomfort. 

He concludes with some guidance on how to start the inner work which begins with curiosity, opening the door to deeper self-compassion and self-love.

In this episode, Hunter shares the story of exposure to pornography and it becoming and unwanted behavior. Over time, he became more open, honest, and public about the struggles he had experienced and found that to be an important part of the process of letting it go. He also shares the impact of shame, which only worsened the behaviors, and learned to let go of shame and let go of perfectionism to create a healthier relationship with himself and others. He talks about reframing porn in a way that lessened its appeal, and how changing his perspective on it has helped him to decrease the desire to view and seek deeper, authentic connection.

It's Men's Mental Health Awareness month – John and Mike share an initiative we're calling the "mental fitness gym" where we do daily practices with the Heare community to improve our mental, emotional, and spiritual well being. We discuss some fundamentals of physical and mental wellness: adequate sleep, sunlight, nutrition, movement, and social connection; as well as practices and tools that have helped us have transformational experiences such as meditations, breathwork, experiential exercises and therapies, cold plunges, retreats, and guided experiences with coaches and mentors. John shares some principles he learned from his recent intensive training such as movement and the body remembers what the mind does not, and Mike shares how Inside Out 2 represented core belief systems in such an interesting way. We touch on childhood development, how some core beliefs are formed, how we can repair as parents, and the inevitability of forming some limiting or false beliefs. We discuss doing the work to identify and challenge these beliefs in adulthood and to identify the truths that empower us and enhance our lives – all while acknowledging that the work is ongoing and as we strenghten our mental fitness, we grow in resilience and our ability to choose how to respond, rather than react to, life's circumstances.

Brandon Clift is an emotional intelligence coach, a leader of a men's group in Chattanooga, Tennessee called Men Who Chatt, and an involved member of and podcast host for the ManKind Project. He shares his story of initially viewing men's groups with skepticism to finding out for himself the transformational value of these groups and of doing the inner work, on a weekly basis and at impactful retreats like the New Warrior Training Adventure. Brandon's openness, courage, and vulnerability led him to share personal stories of facing challenges, taking ownership of his choices, and finding strength in integrity, accountability, and brotherhood. We discuss some inner child work, our life mission statements along with our shadow missions, and how we continue to do the work.
