Gary Kadi (speaker) argues that numbing behaviors (adrenaline-seeking, adultery, addiction) stem from avoidance and that true healing requires feeling emotions rather than suppressing them. The clip focuses on men's learned tendency to avoid emotional expression and includes a personal anecdote about his father and a teaser for a future episode about father-son dynamics.

What we're talking about now is like adrenaline, adultery and addiction. So we don't realize we're addicted, you know, in the value of avoidance. We're trying to numb ourselves out so those three things really start popping up and we can't control them because we're just trying to heal. Healing comes from feeling. I'm going to say that again. Healing comes from feeling. We men don't want to feel because we're taught not to. We're taught to rub dirt in it and get over it. Don't cry, right? Stop crying. Well, I'll give you something to cry for. You want something to cry for? My dad would take the belt out and whack the snot out of me, right? We'll talk about that in future. Podcast to the the Octagon with the son and a father which is like awesome stuff to learn and it also just give you a little foreshadowing. It also helps you in the day to day relationships that you have with men, just friends and, and colleagues and business people. Really powerful transformation that happens when you get a new relationship to your pops, even though he might be passed. So we'll definitely have that episode coming up.
