Welcome to The Man Talk Show.

I'm Connor Beaton.

And this episode is another anonymous guest.

So in this episode, we kind of bounce around a little bit for the first few minutes,

getting an understanding of what this individual is looking to work for, work on, sorry.

And one of the things that I would like for you to listen to is that if you're going to listen

to this episode, please try and listen to the whole thing.

Because this is one of those experiences where more context, more understanding, and more revealing happens throughout the entirety of the episode and sort of builds up to a kind of a climax towards the end

where the individuals has some realizations about their specific challenges.

And, you know, this is a really good example of how sometimes the things that we think we want

to work on are actually not the things that we need to look at at all. It's a really good example of how our shadow can kind of

lead us astray in some ways. And so in this episode, we talk a lot about the victim. And that plays a

huge role in this individual's process and the work that he's doing and embarking on. And one of the things that I want to say is that

for many of us, we have a block to claiming our own sense of direction, to claiming our own

sense of internal leadership, to being able to regulate ourselves internally, to be able to

actualize our own individual sense of power, and to be able to actualize our own individual sense of power and to be able to utilize that in a way

in our life that is generative and nourishing and expansive and contributive to our family,

to our society, to our community. And those blocks can really range. They can, I mean, they can be a number of things.

But I just want you to listen to what feels familiar to you in this episode. What feels foreign,

what feels familiar. Just listen for those two things. And the reason why I say that is because for all of us, one of the most challenging

things for us to come into contact with psychologically, emotionally, is where we are being

the victim in our own life.
