What Are the Biggest Blockages to Men Doing This Healing Stuff?
People come into the area of getting healing with all sorts of prejudices and fears, some of which do tilt towards genders. It demands no stretch of the imagination to see how a great many men have struggled and do still struggle with the idea of going inside themselves and unlocking, seeing, feeling, and talking about the deeper stuff of life, particularly their own personal histories.
There are all sorts of fears that corrupt the therapy/self-therapy process for many men, many of these same fears afflict others, too, not just men.
How Much Effort Does Healing Require?
There are few patterns I’ve seen more consistently over the years, than the proclivity people have to give in to fear when it comes to self-help and the whole realm of healing and growing self. That’s how powerful fear is. The pain in your life mustbecome unbearable before it can push you through your fears. The fear is of the stuff that is dragging you down most inside. Thus, the work of healing and growing selfto full authenticity and ALIVENESS, is conversation between you and your own fear.
