On this episode, Travis talks with artist and author, Matthew Sloane about his new book, Hiding Inside a Man: Finding Strength in Self Compassion (available for pre-order on Kickstarter September 13, 2024). Through words and illustrations about his own journey, Matthew suggests that self-compassion is the first step in having a more heartfelt approach to being with yourself. Topics discussed include: - The challenges of being under-socialized as a child. - How parenting made him confront his own inner work. - Repair work as a parent. - Finding safe expressions of "fight" energy and honoring the full cycle of anger. - Self-compassion. - What good facilitation looks like in a men's group. - Emotional Freedom Techniques
