## Resource

Danny Morel joins me on The Pocket! This conversation goes deep into emotional wounds, fear, commitment, masculine and feminine energy, and how childhood experiences shape the way men show up in relationships. We talk about why men avoid vulnerability, how chasing success can be a form of avoidance, and what it actually takes to experience real intimacy and freedom in love. This one is confronting, honest, and powerful. Key Discussion Points Why men are emotionally disconnected How childhood wounds shape adult relationships Fear, commitment, and avoidance in men The difference between boy energy and man energy What real intimacy and love actually require Order Danny’s book: https://awakenbook.com/ Learn more from Danny: https://link.me/dannymorel Follow Chris: https://www.instagram.com/morechrisgriffin/ Chapters: 00:00 Why men are emotionally behind 03:10 Masculine vs feminine energy explained 07:40 Unconscious fathers and emotional suppression 12:50 Pain as the trigger for awakening 18:30 Childhood wounds and relationship patterns 23:40 Victim consciousness vs creator consciousness 28:20 Real intimacy and telling the truth 33:10 Men, commitment, and fear of freedom 37:55 The phases of love and why couples get stuck 43:20 Why dependency is not love 48:10 Knowing when it is right to commit 52:40 Awareness, healing, and transformation 57:15 Fear, courage, and emotional growth 01:01:20 Enlightenment and living without fear Learn more about your ad choices.
