Modern man's escapism problem

Modern man's escapism problem

Devin McDermott

More guys are repressing their emotions than ever.

I know bevause I used to be one of them, and I see it literally everywhere I go.

I can't "unsee" the pattern.

And heck, it's not necessarily a problem with the man, rather more a problem with the environment in which he lives.

Why is this?

For one, there are social factors that contribute..

"Suck it up."

"Be a man."

We're taught to shut up and produce, and to feel shame for having feelings that are ultimately an ubiquitous part of the human experience.

But that's probably always been the case.

The modern world just makes it worse.

Because it isn't just societal and social pressures on the playing field.

In the modern world, we have so many easy forms of stimulation and escapism.

And the combination of societal and social programming, and that easy escapism, has led to a generation of men who just aren't dealing with their feelings well.

At all.

And it's at the root of a LOT of dysfunctional behavior.

Instead of processing their emotions in a mature, conscious, healthy way... Guys end up turning towards self destruction to cope with their stress, sadness, and dissatisfaction.

The Netflix, nicotine, YouTube, porn, video games, booze, drugs, and whatever else you can think of...

Different expressions of the same thing:

Escapism.

Problem is, modern men just don't know how to deal with their feelings in healthy ways.

Because no one has taught them.

And no one is teaching them.

But it's a damn important skill to learn, especially for high performers.

I regularly work with the kind of guys who make a mill a year but they're kinda a mess inside. Spending way too much time scrolling, anxious, lashing out at their wives, coping in the wrong ways, can't stop using porn despite wanting to...

Then I come in and teach them the emotional intelligence skills they've been missing.

Among some other rather critical skills.

And before long, they feel much better. Their relationships go more smoothly. They're sleeping more soundly. And the escapism problems evaporate...

So they can move on as a healthier version of themselves than they've ever really known.

Working with a good handful currently who are well on their way.

And regardless of whether it's by working with me, or finding your own way, this is a major part of where you should put your attention if you're struggling with compulsive behaviors like porn or whatever else.

Naturally though, if you resonate with my message...

Well, there's a good chance we'd resonate working together too.

Unfortunately I'm not taking on any more clients for the time being while I work on a major project, but if you want to quit porn for good in 60 days flat & be one of the first to know next time I have availability...
