All right, welcome to a men's work session. I am Connor Beaton. Today we're going to be diving in

and working with a man who in his childhood had experienced some complex trauma and was showing up

in his adult relationship and his marriage.

He's recently had a son who is a month old.

But what's been showing up in his relationship and his marriage is a kind of freezing and inability to express himself,

shutting down, not being able to make the decisions and create some of the direction that

he wants in the relationship and so we're going to address that by walking him through a little

exercise that you will see and I also give him two or three things that he can specifically do

I label and sort of identify the complex trauma, break it down. And then you'll notice

that I walk him through an exercise. And after I walk him through the exercise and the experience,

I give him some very specific pieces of work that he can do in his life to create the first step in being able to rectify some of the

abandonment and neglect issues that he experienced growing up.

So whether you identify as having complex drama or not, what I really want you to pay

attention to, maybe you are somebody who struggles to connect struggles to express yourself in your

relationship or your marriage maybe you are somebody who really struggles to stay connected

in your relationship and the tools that I lay out in this episode are certainly going to

support you so don't forget to like subscribe wherever you're watching or listening to this on.
