Why Men Suffer In Silence: How To Embrace Vulnerability To Create Healthy Love | Jason Wilson

See, a lot of people don't know that. Wow. CPSD, CPTSD, PTSD, yes, is real. So in that moment, that childhood trauma manifested in that moment. I've operated from it before. I don't put it past will. His actions were still inexcusable, but I understand. And so I see the contrast in both. I teach from both. I hope one day those two men can reconcile even after that.

But even in that, it's like he could have lost almost everything in that moment. How many men you know right now, intelligent, who are in prison? Because intelligent who are in prison are in prison because they didn't have rule over their emotions in the moment. Yeah. And lost it. Yeah. And that's what happened to Will and to Chris Rocks, understanding his situation.

Like, what about the trauma he experienced? That was in front of the entire world. Yeah. And, you know, it bothered me to see so many people talk about him. He should have done. He could have did. That was me. But it wasn't you. It was him. Do you even respect the fact that he chose not to respond in that way? Everyone wants to be tough or gangster. I grew up around that.

The man I knew, matter of fact, one of the most dangerous men in the city of Highland Park. Young kid was selling drugs on the street. Slapped his hat off. Did he retaliate in the moment? No. I said, I understand, young man, it's okay, and walked off. My brother would do the same because he knew if he did something to you then, he would get caught. I'm not responding right now. That's a reaction.

And if it's really real and I feel this way tomorrow or next year, I need to do something about it. Yeah, there were some confluences. So I take my hat off to Chris in that moment. It took a lot not to just respond.

Of course. But for you to say. He didn't react. How about let's make it practical for the average man. Your boss says something to you that pisses you off. Yeah. Do you slap him? Do you curse him out? You see the hypocrisy in this? The comedians who clowned him. You signed to Netflix, and the head of Netflix says something to offend you.

Nine times out of ten, you probably won't say nothing to him. Right. What's the difference? Chris Rock chose the best response for him in that moment. It's no different from a man boss irritating you. You're not going to cuss him out because you need that money to provide for your family. Sure.

And so that's the thing about understanding how to be a comprehensive fighter. Even fighting spiritually, brother, I never shared when we were in New York for Tribeca for the documentary with Lawrence Fishburne. I don't think I even shared this with him. My man is that the night before, we sleep, my wife and I sleep before the premiere. My phone rings. I hear it vibrating on the nightstand.

I look, it's my son. Him and my daughter are staying two floors below. I pick up the phone, hey, what's going on, man? Dad, someone's banging on our door. A man was drunk, banging on my son and daughter's door. I run down, didn't get my shoes on, ran out. My wife immediately dropped her knees and started praying. Because I'm trained to really hurt you.

I run down, and in the process, I'm processing in real time. Okay, if I see this guy here, what do I need to do? How should I respond? A lot's going through my head. When I get to the floor, I see the guy. Thankfully, the security is there, and he passes out. He was drunk. His hotel room was at the same corner of the hotel, just a floor above, I believe. Trying to get in, yeah. What if...
