Shadow Work for Nice Guys (with Luke Adler)

from Evolutionary Men Hosted by Jason Lange

In this episode I dive into the hidden roots of nice guy syndrome along with my Heart of Shadow co-facilitator Dr. Luke Adler. We explore how being a "nice guy" is actually one of six primitive nervous system survival responses rooted in fear of losing connection. Luke and I share vulnerable stories about how this shows up and why shadow work is the real pathway out. We break down why cognitive strategies aren't enough and how the consistent presence of loving masculine energy through men's groups becomes the medicine that allows nice guys to drop the people-pleasing patterns and reclaim their authentic power. Break free from your nice guy syndrome and join the Heart of Shadow Men's Group and Retreat (https://heartofshadow.com) Like the Podcast?
