Some of the chicken nuggets from the episode:

“Knowing where your shadows are also allows you to see where your growth lies.”

“With men, the most powerful emotional roadblock is shame.”

“Many men can have an aversion [to deep emotions] because they do not want to be seen as weak.”

“Bottled anger which often comes from shame is what turns into aggression. Anger isn’t dangerous, aggression is.”

“The more that you suppress your emotions, the less you are able to feel [including the GOOD]."

“Toxic men are not born, they are created.”
