MAN UP MONTHLIES 02 - The Mission

GROUP 02 - DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

1.   Have you ever experienced “not caring” about things you should care about, or feeling no motivation for things you should be motivated for? What was the experience like and were you able to snap out of it?

2.   What is one takeaway you gained today about emotional roots, shame perspectives, binge/purging and denial behavior?

3.   Why do you think men try to “win” the battle alone, in isolation? What would cause someone to finally agree to be in a group of men fighting for the same things?

4.   What does it mean to you that shame is the root and drives both crazy behaviors (alcoholism, workaholism, rage, etc.) and shutdown behaviors (numb feeling, don’t care, unmotivated)?

5.   Bondage is never about the bondage itself. Raging behavior isn’t about rage. Sexual acting out isn’t about sex. Depressive shutdown isn’t about depression. What does that mean to you?
