Face Your Dragons
For men ready to stop running from the Father Wound, the Mother Complex, and Core Shame.
Where you stop avoiding the three dragons.
For 21 days you practice staying present with what you've been running from. Not understanding it. Staying with it โ which is a different capacity, and the one nobody taught you.
It takes about 21 days to break an old pattern and start replacing it with a new one. That is the whole design.
One of these has your name on it.
Core Shame
The deep belief that something is fundamentally wrong with you. Not guilt โ I did something bad. Shame โ I am bad.
- Perfectionism
- Hiding your real self
- Defensive armour
- Never feeling enough, no matter what you achieve
- Constant performance to prove your worth
The Mother Complex
The wound from your relationship with your mother โ whether she was enmeshed with you, made you her emotional husband, or abandoned you.
- People-pleasing
- Terror of real intimacy
- Giving yourself away to be loved
- Nice guy syndrome
- Attracting women who are toxic, or who need saving
- Avoiding commitment, or becoming too clingy
The Father Wound
The wound from your relationship with your father โ whether he was absent, critical, emotionally unavailable, or too soft.
- Emotional shutdown
- Workaholism
- "I don't need anyone"
- Terror of being seen as weak
- Self-sabotage
- Performing masculinity because you don't feel it
Everything you get.

In their words.
It gave me awareness of how much the combination of shame and my mother wound have been affecting my way in the world as a man. I've experienced so much change in just three weeks.
DerekThe biggest compliment I can give is that it has felt such a safe environment to do this work and be vulnerable in. As a father of two young daughters, I really feel the opportunity I have to break the cycles that my own parents couldn't.
ChrisLearning to feel into the emotions that I myself had not properly faced. It's nice to close feeling like my heart has started opening up again.
BatzThe container of other men who were willing to show up and share, be seen and be vulnerable, is what made it that much more powerful.

This is not for every man.
For you if
- You saw yourself in one of the three dragons
- You're tired of avoiding through work, control, or numbing
- You're ready to stay present with discomfort
- You can commit to 21 days
Not for you if
- You want a quick fix
- You're not ready to feel what you've been avoiding
- You're in active crisis โ get professional support first
- You expect to be fixed in 21 days. Nobody is.
Before you ask.
- Is this therapy?
- No. I'm not a therapist and this doesn't replace clinical care. This is men's work, somatic practice, and pattern recognition. If you're in crisis, get professional support first.
- What if I can't make the live calls?
- Every call is recorded. You get full value from the replays, the daily practice, and the group.
- I've never done men's work before. Is this for me?
- Yes. This is the starting point. No experience needed โ just willingness to show up.
- What's the time commitment?
- Four live calls. Daily practice 15โ20 minutes. About thirty minutes a day.
- How long do I have access?
- The 21 days, plus 30 more to go back over anything. I'll tell you what's next on the last call.
- Refunds?
- No. All sales final. The commitment is the point.
21 days to stop running.
It's time to rise.
โ Malcolm
