Why have I listed them?
Because I want to get your attention
Why? Out of the thousands of meetings I have attended, I see very few men moving out of preoccupation with self-interest and into their roles of partner, husband, father, protector, healthy community member etc.
It is really difficult for men to own up to the damage, face the results of their behavior and move into a new way of being in relationship with you.
I help and guide men get out of their preoccupation with themselves
… and into holding your anger, sadness and pain, understanding your needs, INCLUDING SAFETY and taking concrete steps toward ownership and relationship repair/renewal.
This is not your job. Delegate this work and let me. You look after your nervous system. I will look after him.
Why do they need help?
Because they are shit-scared and battling with their own wiring and nervous system under the stress of realizing what they have done and been discovered doing. Their core beliefs, their identity, how they see themselves, their default operating system developed in childhood, determine how they behave, especially under the pressure of infidelity discovery.
It’s well known that around 85% of men in treatment for addictions (and infidelity is strongly associated) come from some sort of dysfunctional upbringing. This has nothing to do with you. You did not cause any of this.
This has nothing to do with you. He had problems before you met him.
You can search for all the information you want. I have heard the 40 items listed above many times, and many more. You are battling with something that’s been running quietly in the background unseen, and it’s likely you don’t and maybe won’t understand it. However, I do.
They need to do two things at once
correct their wiring, their programming and
hold space for you while repairing or building a new relationship with you.
There is a slow track and a fast track.
Slow Track / No Track
Go it alone, work it out for yourself
Do the bare minimum (or less)
Avoid anything uncomfortable
Think about doing without doing anything
Stay isolated
Hope for change without any real action
Fast Track
Ask for guidance, suck up your pride
Be pro-active, ask what helps and what doesn’t
Do everything advised by a competent guide/coach
Know that this will be uncomfortable and effortful
Associate with others improving themselves
Educate, educate, educate. Enquire: What caused this? How did I get here? How can I re-write this programing? Who has the answers?
Change is possible. Healing is possible.
It is not easy. It is hard.
It is not going to be a straight line.
I work with men who have been caught living secret lives. I help turn them around.
They need direction, a firm, knowledgeable guide, understanding, support and a lot of encouragement.
Most men are willing but don’t know what to do or where to start.
