The Psychological Complex So Many Men St...

Connor Beaton
About this episode

Talking points: archetypes, psychology, relationships

I genuinely feel this is one of the most important concepts we as men should understand. It affects a lot of us, and it definitely affected me. It definitely fits the word "complex", but it's absolutely something you can work on. So grab a notepad, dig in, and share with any man you think would benefit.

(00:00:00) - Intro, definition, and why knowing about this is useful

(00:08:09) - What causes this split?

(00:21:55) - Rounding up what kind of man is at risk of this, and where to start healing

(00:26:04) - What are you hiding, and what do you reveal

(00:32:16) - Important: have conversations
