With refreshing candor, he reveals how the simple yet profound skill of separating behaviors from personal identity transformed his interactions. Manson explains why we naturally merge a person's actions with character judgments—connecting lateness with disrespect or messiness with moral failure—and offers practical strategies to break this harmful habit, especially within romantic relationships.At just 23, Manson made the uncommon choice to begin therapy when men rarely sought such help. This decision led to a startling revelation: the water he'd been "swimming in" since childhood wasn't normal. Through therapy, he discovered how unrecognized childhood trauma shaped his adult relationships, highlighting how we all assume our upbringing is universal until confronted with evidence otherwise. This pivotal self-awareness journey not only healed his personal life but ultimately guided him toward his calling in psychology and relationship wisdom.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
