In today’s solo episode I wanted to share my own journey with becoming more emotionally available within myself and the impact that it had on how I am as a father. Too many men are not taught this from an early age, instead we are told to “man up”, or “toughen yup” or “just get on with it”. However, this just causes us to suppress all of our sh*t and then it is our children & partners that catch the brunt of it. We become reactive over the simplest of things, all because we are not equipped with the tools to understand & express ourselves in a healthy way.
By learning these valuable tools for ourselves, we can then model them to our children and lead by example. That is how we get to transform how we show up in fatherhood.
A quick summary of how to become more emotionally available are;
👉 Catch it, become aware of when you are triggered
👉 Become the observer to what you are feeling and why you feel it
👉 Express it, allow yourself to put words to how you are feeling
👉 Move through it, ask yourself “what do I need right now” and gift yourself whatever it is!
