Blake Robert Templeton tells men to drop their problem-solving mindset at home. When you bring your fixer energy into intimate relationships, you wound the person who came for safety and emotional support, not solutions. She needs you to hear her, not fix her.
You've got to remove the right answer from the conversation because over here in Warrior, you think, man, I've got the right answer. I'm a fixer. This is what I do. I solve the problems. But you've got to remove that from your vocabulary or you bring that sword home to actually solve problems and you hurt the one that you were actually trying to provide safety for. So this normally happens when a guy is stuck in, in Warrior. This is like textbook. Guy comes home, he ends up still has all these things running in his mind. He's got files open he didn't, you know, finish. He feels like a failure. And then woman steps into his world. She now is naturally trying to step back into playful princess.
