The Way of The Confident Husband - Chuck Chapman, M.A.

In this video, I explore how to effectively handle and overcome my sensitivity to criticism and how it affects your masculine energy and integrity. I delve into how perceived criticism or pushback emotionally impacts me, leading to feelings of withdrawal or hurt. I discuss some signs of these unskillful reactions and the concept of negativity bias. I talk about a lesson from David Deida's Book, Way of the Superior Man. I share advice on how to recognize, navigate, and resolve these emotions, including becoming aware of my emotional state, identifying where the pain physically manifests in my body, and holding onto that pain until it gradually dissipates. I emphasize the importance of creating an open physical space and maintaining strong eye contact, especially when confronting the person who hurt me. I also explain how this practice can enhance my masculine energy, attractiveness, and leadership skills, and deepen the levels of intimacy in my relationships.
