The Awakening of the Tender man - Paperback

by Ryan James Seidlitz (Author)

Men are deteriorating from the inside and causing large shadows, pain, harm, and grief to their communities throughout the country and to themselves. As the system of patriarchy that is normalized by hegemonic masculinity norms that result in rampant misogynistic attitudes seen in expressions like the manosphere, the boys and young men of America continue to fall behind in education, economics, and in relationships. Due to cultural narratives often framed in misguided terms like "toxic masculinity," the problem is often overlooked and not addressed in helpful discussion and specific avenues that can help men begin to address why so many have been living lives that are anti-masculine instead. Dr. Seidlitz believes something must be done to address the growing problem and masculinity crisis in America. This book is the entering point for the work to be done and explores what can no longer be ignored or avoided. This book provides a chapter-by-chapter exploration of vital topics that include waking up from trance, identifying the inner narratives, storylines, and thinking patterns that are causing suffering, a journey into understanding the soul as a tool for life change, addressing the wounds of men and their shadow side, and how to rebuild by identifying healthy emotional regulation and find order within. In the pages ahead, the reader is provided avenues and pathways for men to begin to address their inner life, pain, depression, and grief that have been avoided and suppressed, and find guidance on entering the underworld and address the uncomfortable but required emotion as a path for healing not by avoiding the wound but by entering in.
