I dive deep into the reality of the father wound and how it quietly disrupts our sense of self-worth and value as men.

I explore Carl Jung's concept of the anima to explain how an absence of a true mission causes men to become possessed by their unconscious desires for validation.Ultimately, I explain why making a relationship your primary goal is a mental trap and how true fulfillment only comes when you dedicate your life to a meaningful purpose of your own.SHOW HIGHLIGHTS00:00 - Lacking Direction in My Early Twenties02:15 - The Unconscious Fixation on Women05:30 - Making a Relationship Your False Purpose08:45 - Carl Jung and Anima Possession11:20 - The Danger of Living For or Against Women***Tired of feeling like you're never enough?
