037 - She Is Not Your Rehab with Matt Brown

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s been a belief of mine for a while now that many of the most messed up and avoidable issues we have on a global scale are the result of dysfunctional, disconnected, and discontent men.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To expand upon that, even more, I think we have a problem with how we portray what a healthy and mature man is, and we lack adequate passages and initiations into true grown-ass mature manhood.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As a result, we have many men, through no fault of their own, going about life still running some outdated and adolescent psychology. When I say ‘no fault of their own’ I mean we learn what we learn growing up, we model what is modelled to us and so at the point of just going about living how we’ve learnt to live and to make our way in the world we do just that; our best with what we’ve learnt and been given.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But unfortunately, many of us fall short in being healthy men - which, hopefully, you can start to see, is totally understandable when we haven’t had a healthy idea of wTF that is.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So - dysfunctional, disconnected, discontent, disenfranchised even - and we have men who are too in their head, or too in their anger, or too in their fists, or too in their sensitivity, we have men who can’t find the middle ground of being a useful, healthy and mature men and member of commnuity.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This certainly isn’t to shame on men - fuck no - it’s to point out some shit that hasn’t been working for us and direct us to how we can be better, for ourselves and those we influence.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’d also not to totally blame men for the world’s wrongs - fuck no - but it is to offer some shit that we get to own and improve upon.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One of the incredibly obvious ways in which men who haven’t learnt how to deal with the shit
