@new.man.codes: Here are 7 things happening inside his mind that he probably can't put into words. 1. He sees every way he betrayed himself. This is where the Tunnel begins. Every time he stayed quiet, abandoned his truth, or became who others needed him to be suddenly comes into focus. The weight of it is overwhelming. 2. He feels shame. Not shame placed on him by others. Shame between him and himself. The quiet pain of knowing where he compromised. The truth is, only honourable men feel this. It's not proof he's broken. It's proof he remembers who he is. 3. He feels empty. He still provides. He still performs. But inside, something has gone silent. From the outside, his life looks the same. From the inside, it feels like he's merely existing. 4. He questions everything. His business. His purpose. His relationship. Not because they're wrong, but because the identity that built them no longer fits the man he's becoming. 5. He feels anger. Beneath the numbness is rage. At the people he accommodated. At the life he accepted. And eventually, at himself. Owning that is one of the hardest parts of the passage. 6. He can't be rescued. His partner, children or business can't pull him through this. The Tunnel asks one question: Who are you when nobody can do the work for you? 7. The Tunnel isn't a crisis. It's an initiation. It's the passage from the man he performed to the man he truly is. The darkness becomes the doorway…if he's willing to walk through it instead of running from it. He doesn't need saving. He needs someone who knows he makes it through. Lemme know in the comments which one landed for you and if you’re a man in the Tunnel ready to move through it, book a call through the link in my profile. #FatherWound #MensWork #GroundedMasculine #MensMentalHealth #USA

At 45, high performer, no wife/gf, no child, no parents, no siblings. Number 1&2 are very loud…the loudest part is, I’m remembering who I am. I’m about to relocate to a different city in a months time, No certainty waiting for me there just following my heart. I’ve been wondering what’s calling me away from what’s been home all my life? Through this post, I’ve found out it’s the tunnel, and I’m right in the middle and it’s dark. Turning back means settling. Forward means adventure. Let’s go.

Part of being a real man. Painful inside. But have to carry on. Eat better train better, love better. Clarity will show up someday somehow, keep pushing 👊

I am exaaaaaaclty in that tunnel. Review of the past, taking the blame, hard on self and then eventually look at the lessons, find healing and more that the world isn’t what I thought it was. Just because you do good and try for others, it doesn’t mean they will do same. The view is definitely not the same from here on

And, through all of those emotions, which I have seen a few of those already. We are fighting to still try to keep it together, be the rock, be the father, keep connected with our parents. The balancing act is one I never understood until now.

I'm on a two years journey now that started when I was 39. Life decisions and inner world were not aligned to each other. Hard, depth and dark times and still walking. I think I have gone through more than one stage.

A school of thought considers the 40s the second puberty…more and emotional one than the first

49. Can’t agree across the board. Some of it resounds some of it doesn’t. I think this really depends on you as a person, your life growing up, and the support you have now. My wife and I have been together for 30 years and our connection gets closer and closer. That protects me from a lot of this pain
