Shrink-Wrapped. Custody-Stripped.

I thought therapy would help... That if I got emotionally literate enough, calm enough, self-aware enough…I’d win. But when the affidavits came in and the custody narrative started shifting, none of that mattered. This episode breaks down what therapy actually gave me...and what it never could. It’s not an attack on healing. It’s a sober look at the limits of emotional insight in a system that rewards paperwork, positioning, and preparation. If you’re mistaking emotional growth for strategy, this one’s worth a listen. Full write-up’s in my posts. Get full access to The Green Binder at masonblakex.substack.com/subscribe
