138. How to Work With Pain
Episode 138
Most men don’t realize just how much pain they’re carrying, or how that pain silently bleeds into their work, relationships, and sense of self. In this short solo episode, I break down how unaddressed pain shows up in the body and mind, why “powering through” makes it worse, and what it actually looks like to begin healing. You'll learn a 4-step process for who to work with your pain in real time using writing as the tool. You’ll hear insights drawn from my own life, client experiences, and what I’ve seen working with high-performing men who’ve reached their breaking point.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why most men underestimate how much pain they’re carrying
- How to begin using writing as a tool for transformation
- A story of facing pain in relationship and what it revealed
- Practical steps (the 4-Step Enlifted Storywork Process) for working with fear and discomfort
- A powerful invitation to take the next step in your own growth
