men and emotions

Therapist Mike Mathers joins Daniel and Karen to talk about his new book coming out in 2024, Curious AF. Mike sets us up to understand how the human mind operates as a social entity that needs to belong to a group, and influences us to operate to avoid shame, particularly childhood shame that we can’t even remember, but that our subconscious still accesses to inform our daily thoughts & decisions.

Mike talks about his common friend who is always there for him, “I’m a Fucking Idiot”, and how we have a relationship with “I’m a Fucking Idiot” and we don’t even know it. Daniel asks if all addictions are driven by shame. Mike says he calls shame “unconscious unworthiness”. He draws a link to feelings as data that provide information about our lives and what’s missing in terms of emotional regulation, social connection and meaning and purpose.

Mike goes on to explain that the antidote to shame is to get curious about it using “I wonder…” questions, whose answer doesn’t matter because you can’t be judgmental and curious at the same time. Curiosity changes what's going on in our mind and body and gets us out of shame. 

Follow along with Karen who gets “therapized” in this episode. Early listener reviews have characterized Curious AF as a free half hour of damn good therapy.

As men we spend our lives being taught that expressing emotions is a sign of weakness.  In this episode I talk about the consequences of reinforcing unhealthy messages about men and their emotions.  The better we get at understanding and expressing emotions, the better our relationships feel.   

It's Fearless Friday Live!  In today's episode of The Remarkable Man Show, we are diving deep into the truth of the man you really are. It's about having the courage to look at the facts of every aspect of your life. But more than that it is taking a good hard look at the lies you tell yourself and others in an attempt to avoid the facts.

There's an emotional toll that every man suffers through when the lie becomes the truth as he tells it. Being out of integrity weighs heavy on a man and it will eventually catch up with you.

Today it's about coming clean and taking full responsibility for the facts of your life.

Rob Corbin began conducting programs on forgiveness shortly after losing his father to suicide in June of 2008. With the tragic death of his father, Rob had a realization of a truth that he never confronted in his own life. The truth of accepting that he had been living a life filled with anger, resentment, and bitterness towards his dad for the extreme discipline he experienced at the tender age of 6 years old.

The truth hit hard.  He was living in an emotional cage for 46 years – and by his own choice! This choice resulted in pain and he was never able to find peace or forgive his father until it was too late.

In ep #043 of the ManKind Podcast, Rob shares how the tragic death of his father became the moment his life took on a new purpose. Rob has since embraced the need and desire to learn and share with others how to forgive. To forgive both ourselves, and others is powerful, and forgiving is a decision we are free to make at any time.
 

You’re Going To Love This Episode if:

• You're wanting to learn how to let go of past experiences and move on with your life.
• You want to help others find forgiveness in their lives.

(Trigger Warning - Episode includes personal experiences of childhood trauma)

“Masculinity is not about being the biggest, the fastest, the strongest, the one who sleeps with the most girls, and the one who has the most money. The one who has the most accomplishments is not the most masculine. In fact, it is often the men who covet these things most who are covering and compensating for the greatest insecurities. Let us revere the one who loves others deeply, loves himself deeply, and has a dream that he is inspired to live with and by and through. He is a man.”  — Lewis Howes
