Why so many men are emotionally handicapped

We have it pretty good in the modern world.

And yet it works against us men in so many ways.

In fact, many men are so disconnected and clueless about their own emotional worlds that it might not be a stretch to say they're "emotionally handicapped."

Because for a very long time, machismo culture essentially taught men to stuff their emotions down, be tough, and keep pushing forward regardless of what they were feeling. Which, in fairness, has some merit to it - in particular, if your tribe is under attack by another war-hungry tribe, or if you're hunting every day to put food on the table.

Yet the modern world doesn't have such peril in it anymore.

And men are still taught to stuff their emotions down.

Then, on top of that, the modern world has made escaping your emotions easier than it's ever been in the history of humanity.

🧠 The Missing Key
Discover why emotional maturity is the critical ingredient most men lack in their porn recovery journey.

Between video games, alcohol, social media, youtube, netflix, drugs, and s*xual vices like porn. and probably more things I'm forgetting here.. modern man has so much escapism available that it's almost overwhelming.

Which is a double-whammy.

Imagine being taught to stuff your emotions down, and then having such abundant escapism everywhere too.

You might never learn how to actually interact with, process, and overcome your feelings.

Which, indeed, is how many men will live their entire lives.

The good news is that's not set-in-stone.

Emotional Intelligence can be developed.

You can learn how to stop self-sabotaging with compulsive escapism.

And that's one of the most important elements to successfully quitting porn (or any other vice) for the long-run. Which is why when I'm working with my guys 1-on-1, we dive deep into how exactly to develop that intelligence, and work on ingraining new neural pathways so deeply into their psyches that those healthier patterns stay with them for the rest of their lives.

So, I invite you to take that journey of developing emotional intelligence.

Because escapism will never fix your problems, and usually just makes them worse.

Your future self will thank you.

And if you want a guide along that path, someone who's been through it and helped many other men through it too and can help you reliably quit porn in then next 60 days regardless of how long you've been trying to quit or how many times you've failed, reach out.
