Today I'm going to teach you about something that has the power and capacity to

completely alter your relationship to yourself, to your confidence, to your sense of self-worth

and self-esteem. I'm going to start by just telling you one simple truth

that probably flies in the face of what you experienced as a kid and maybe as an adult. You were

never too sensitive. You were never too sensitive and you were never too reactive.

You were trained.

You were trained to override your instincts.

You were trained to suppress your emotion and your sadness.

And you were trained to doubt your own intuition.

Now why?

Because somewhere along the way you learned through parents, through conditioning,

through your family system, through friends, teachers, that belonging was more important than

your own inner sense of power or truth and authenticity. And so you made a trade. You traded your own power,

your own truth, your own authenticity for approval, for safety, for connection, and for validation.

And today I'm going to show you exactly how that happened and give you one thing that you need to stop doing immediately if you want to claim your power back.

So let's start by talking about how this training happens because the majority of men that I've worked with and spoken to over the last decade, they really share one

core wound. There's one core wound that they have in common. They were told directly or indirectly

that their emotional responses were wrong or incorrect or needed to be altered, cut out. They heard things like, don't be so dramatic.

Why are you always so angry? Why are you so sad all the time? Stop. You're crying. You're too

much. You're never going to amount to anything. You're overreacting. So what does a child do

when they hear those things? Well, a child doesn't think my mom or dad is, you know, they're being hyperreactive.

They don't know how to deal with their emotions.
