KAHere they are 👇
1️⃣ Regret & Anger Toward The Past
They believe the only way to feel alive now is to somehow go back & change what already happened. So they replay it, obsess over it, beat themselves up… thinking that punishing themselves will finally make them feel better. It never does.
2️⃣ The Identity Born From “I’m Not Good Enough”
They pushed, strived, achieved, made more money, built success… But it was all built on top of a wound. They constructed a life that constantly requires massive energy just to avoid feeling the original belief: I’m not good enough. This type of burn-out can lead to depressive feelings.
3️⃣ The Inner Boy Who Is Still Hiding And Hurt
Time does not heal what is avoided. Men who are depressed have a wounded inner boy who has been waiting inside of them for years to hear: “It’s not your fault.” “I’m right here. “Everything is going to be okay.” Until that part of him is loved back into the whole of who he is, the depression stays.
Most men DON’T need more motivation.
They don’t need another coach online telling them to think positive, go outside more, or just *decide* to feel better.
They need resolution.
Often times, people who are depressed are the most stubborn. It’s like they keep trying to walk down a path that they have poured their energy into… refusing to see that it leads to a dead end. (They are also often the most caring, heart centered people as well who have a tendency to put others first at the expense of themselves).
The refusal of this truth is what keeps them stuck in a cycle of depression.
Resolution comes from shadow work.
Shadow work is the behind the scenes look at what your subconscious is doing to keep you “safe” that is in direct opposition to what you actually want.
