“Free Yourself From Your Father’s Expectations”
Completing With Your Father with Phil Gomez
Why does David Deida advocate for men to live as if their fathers’ were dead? Without voicing all of our grievances from boyhood to our fathers in a compassionate clearing conversation, those patterns will HAUNT us for the rest of our lives. Societal programming has failed men and now it’s time to change long-standing patterns of emotional containment and repression. Listen in for Phil’s wise words of encouragement on initiating this powerful exchange!
