We explore how emotional avoidance becomes the hidden engine of abuse and why anger is often a mask for shame, fear, and rejection. We share tools for naming feelings, building responsibility, and guiding young men toward honest expression.

• why avoidance, not anger, drives abusive behavior
• how childhood conditioning trains boys to hide emotions
• the real emotions under anger and control
• silent patterns like stonewalling, numbing, and overworking
• how distorted perception poisons trust and communication
• practical tools: feelings wheel, timeouts, “I feel… because… I need…”
• modeling vulnerability with teens and teams
• three weekly reflection questions for growth

This week, name what you're feeling instead of reacting to it. Then share this episode with a man who needs to hear it. If you have a son, sit him down. If he wants to talk or needs someone just to help process feelings and emotions, reach out. I am available and I am willing and wanting to help.

We expose the seven common lies men tell themselves that protect ego and enable abuse, then show how accountability, consistency and humility rebuild trust. Practical reflections and clear next steps guide listeners to lead themselves before trying to lead at home.

• abuse begins with a story, not an outburst
• impact over intention as the true measure
• minimizing harm versus owning responsibility
• control and possessiveness are not care
• blaming others destroys accountability
• “this is just how I am” blocks growth
• apologies without change don’t rebuild trust
• isolation slows healing; support speeds growth
• practical reflection prompts for honest self-work

Share this episode with someone working on becoming a better man and answer the reflection questions honestly
