“I’m a great dad… so why am I still losing it with my son?”
In this powerful conversation, we unpack a question every high-performing man quietly wrestles with:
Why do we keep repeating patterns we know aren’t serving us — as husbands, fathers, or leaders?
This week I sat down with Dr. Bob Beare, PhD — licensed therapist, recovery leader, and founder of Deep Waters Recovery and The Creative Life Institute. Bob has spent over two decades helping men confront the emotional wounds they’ve spent a lifetime avoiding — trauma, shame, addiction, grief — and guiding them toward healing that actually lasts.
Together we explore:
Why your biggest parenting blowups have nothing to do with your kid
How “doing the right thing” as a child can create a lifetime of pressure
The dark side of positivity (and how it blocks real healing)
How spiritual bypassing shows up in fatherhood and leadership
Why healing your nervous system is the best thing you can do for your child
How men can access deep emotional release without abandoning strength
This isn’t theory. It’s two men telling the truth. About childhood wounds. Emotional reactivity. Shame. And what it looks like to repair with the people you love most
