Why Some Men Never Grow Up (Puer Aeternus Pt. 1)


Listen Later

In the first part of this two-part series, Dr. K explores the Puer Aeternus archetype often described as the “eternal boy.” This mindset can leave people stuck in a state of endless potential with no real-world progress. If you've ever felt like you're meant for something more but can’t seem to start, this episode may resonate.

Dr. K talks about:

  • The trap of idealized potential

  • Why perfectionism and fear of failure keep us in fantasy

  • How chasing the “perfect future” can backfire

  • Listener reactions, including some raw and honest moments

    It's an honest, reflective conversation for anyone who feels stuck and wants to understand why.
