03. Aggression, anger & emotional intelligence with Eric Uresk

 

In this episode, Eric discusses how his relationship with violence transformed throughout his life, and how martial arts have transformed the way he shows up as a partner. He delves into the value of moving toward fear rather than running away, and explains the complex relationship between vulnerability and strength. We explore why it's so necessary to become emotionally integrated for the sake of our well-being and relationships.

  • The role of personal responsibility in shaping a healthier masculine identity
  • How men can help their partners feel emotionally safe
  • The importance of letting go of one’s personal story to push the edges of our capacity
