There's just dimensions of this stuff that we don't understand.
I don't get it.
Right?
And so this is why when men have problems that they don't know how to solve...
Right?
We had a whole conversation about how we react to that.
And sometimes we use pornography.
Sounds like that's not your challenge.
So let's just start with, so I think understanding your own feelings, because once again, your child is going to model, they're going to pick up on what you're doing.
Let's remember that when your son was like 11 months old, he had no ability to communicate with you with words.
You had no ability to communicate with him with words.
The vital survival communication between parent and child is completely nonverbal.
He knows how you're feeling, right?
My favorite study of this is if you take a parent with anxiety disorder and a child with anxiety disorder, if you give the parent treatment, the child's anxiety will improve, even if you don't do anything with your kid.
Yeah.
Okay, so he is picking up whatever you are feeling.
Now, so that's the first thing.
So you gotta understand how you feel about it.
Maybe have a conversation with him.
He's 15, so you can probably do that.
