Why You Keep Reacting Like This (Even When You Know Better)

—

2–3 minutes

You know getting defensive isn’t helping.

You know shutting down makes things worse.

You know your wife wants you to listen instead of immediately explaining yourself.

So… why the hell do you keep doing it?

In this episode, Tara sits down with clinical hypnotherapist and transformational coach Joey Labossiere to talk about the subconscious stories and childhood conditioning that can take over when your nervous system feels threatened.

Before becoming a coach, Joey spent ten years working inside a maximum-security prison in Canada. Years of hypervigilance, drinking, numbing, anxiety and depression eventually forced him to confront something much deeper than his circumstances: the patterns underneath how he was living.

Now he helps people uncover those patterns.

In this episode:

  • Why “knowing better” doesn’t necessarily change your behavior
  • How childhood experiences can become subconscious beliefs about love, worth and safety
  • Why successful men can handle massive pressure at work but shut down emotionally at home
  • The difference between your conscious intentions and the patterns running underneath them
  • Mother wounds, father wounds and how they can show up in adult relationships
  • Why men need emotionally safe relationships with other men
  • The connection between shame, numbing and self-sabotage
  • What “shadow work” actually means
  • Why purpose isn’t necessarily a career, goal or giant mission
  • What emotional safety looks like from a man’s side of the relationship
  • Why healing doesn’t mean you’ll never get triggered again

Because sometimes the person arguing with your wife isn’t the 42-year-old man standing in the kitchen.

It’s the eight-year-old version of you who learned a long time ago what he had to do to feel safe.

And until you understand him, he may keep grabbing the steering wheel.
