Nice Guy Rehab

You’re a "good" guy.

You have a stable job; you’re a good friend & family member.

You don’t want women or other people to feel threatened by you.

You were taught that you’re not allowed to be angry or too "dominant"; and that if you were, it would be dangerous.

You don't want to be seen as “too pushy,” “aggressive” or a “toxic man”.

And yet . . .

You feel like a pushover; a pussy; like you can't fully stand up for yourself.

Think back to when you were a kid . . .

Maybe your mom was a controlling, masculinized woman & you felt emasculated.

. . . or maybe your father was an abusive “alpha” male, & you don’t EVER wanna be like him.

You didn't have healthy role models of powerful masculine men.

Think about your relationships with women . . .

Women don't seem to be "drawn" to you, and you don't know why.

You know something has to change in YOU, but you don't know how to make the shift.

You’ve lost touch with your POWER - and it’s killing you!

As a result of being too “nice” . .

• Women friend-zone you
• You’re less attractive
• You’re a people-pleaser / pushover
• You’re less powerful & successful in your career
• You feel resentful
• You secretly admire guys like James Bond & assholes on TV who are dicks but somehow seem to get everything they want

You have ALL of this power that you keep locked up inside of you

& you don’t know how to let it out.

>> THAT ENDS HERE!!

JOIN US FOR A WORKSHOP IN FINDING & EXPLORING “YOUR EDGE” as a man.

Reclaim your power!

Tap into your ferocity & primitive masculine energy.

Unleash emotions you’ve kept locked down.

Feel more TURNED ON, POWERFUL & ALIVE!

1. “EDGINESS” SELF-ASSESSMENT

Take stock of your own “edginess” & power as a man.

What emotions do you get stuck in?

What situations or relationships do you go into people-pleasing, collapse, or “shutting down?”

You’ll use this in the workshop to set the tone for where you are now, and where you wanna go.

1. ROLE PLAY

Dive into edgy places in your body & emotions.

Warm up with movement & music to connect to your impulses & release blocks.

Then we’ll use improvised role play to dive deeper into expressing your “edges” in relationship.

As your practice partner & guide, Lindsey will egg you on . . .

Helping you to “unlock” pathways for trapped emotions & expressions to come out.

You’ll explore edges like:

• Expressing anger
• Being cold, dismissive, or rude
• Interrupting others

• Asserting yourself
• Domineering
• Being derogatory or mean

You can come with some scenarios / role plays in mind, or we can decide it in the moment.

You’ll also have the chance to witness other men as they go through this process.

What techniques will we use in the role play?

As your guide, Lindsey will pull from a variety of modalities including:

• Miesner repetition (acting)
• Improv
• Tantric emotional release
• Linklater Vocal Training for vocal release

1. INTEGRATION: HOW TO BE POWERFUL. . . BUT NOT AN ASSHOLE

Once we’ve gone to one extreme of expressing your “edge,” you’ll have the chance to explore finding the “middle ground” for yourself.

What does it look + feel like to be in your POWER . . .

. . . but not be a dick?

Gain tools & practices to . . .

• Stay grounded
• Hold space for your emotions
• Speak your truth in a clear but firm way

You’ll also have the chance to express grief, sadness, or whatever else may come up for you in tapping into your “edge”.

Ask questions & share reflections with the group about how to apply this in everyday life.

BE WITNESSED

Let go of shame, social stigma + self-consciousness around your power.

Be seen + accepted by other men . .

And by a woman who won’t run away, judge you, or call you a “toxic guy”!!

REWRITE THE STORY

Rewrite the story that you will be rejected, or judged for your “edginess.”

Be celebrated in your power.

Learn that it’s “safe” for you to express your edge as a man.

. . . not just on a MENTAL level but in your body.

See the positive impact you can have on women when you show up in your strength!

Balance & ground your strength . ..

. . . so you can be edgy without being a dick.

Your Ferocity is HOT.

Your Masculinity is NEEDED!

You can do it!

• More inner fire, drive & power
• The courage to face conflict head-on
• Be a better lover
• More confidence with women
• Let go of shame & inhibitions
• Undo blocks to expressing yourself
• Feel more grounded

• Lifting Weights / Sports: Exercise is a great way to tap into your power & aggression, but the relational component is missing. Healing happens when we’re witnessed & accepted by others. This workshop brings the relational connection piece back in.

• Therapy & Men’s Groups: This workshop will give you the chance to truly FEEL & express your ferocity; not just to talk about it hypothetically. It's also a chance to do it in the presence of a feminine woman who's connected to her eros & sexuality.

• Acting Classes.As an energy healing & guide, Lindsey will help you integrate the emotional / embodied experience you’re having in a holistic way. So you don’t re-traumatize yourself.
