Larry Hagner, founder of The Dad Edge and author of The Pursuit of Legendary Fatherhood, grew up with an absent, abusive father figure.

Why do avoidant men get stuck in fault finding? If you have dismissive avoidant attachment you meet a good woman, then start flaw finding over how she texts, eats, laughs. It's not standards.

In this Avoidant Men episode I break down why you do it, the damage to you and her, the wrinkles story that exposes what your criticism means, and 5 steps to stop binning women: reflect, name it, find the need, have

I sat across from a man who was nearly stabbed three times and it changed nothing — because the thing killing him was never outside him. David Patrick Farrell spent his twenties in addiction, debt collecting and armed robbery, chasing a masculinity he'd learned from criminals instead of a father. Then, at 5am on the 18th of March 2019, everything broke open. We talk about the moment that actually changed him, why he refuses the phrase "toxic masculinity", what real brotherhood does that a gang never

You've got a hundred things you want to say, and you tell yourself it's fine, you don't need to say any of it. So you give her nothing. In this episode I break down what's actually happening in your nervous system when you shut down. It isn't weakness, and it isn't a lack of feeling — it's a protection strategy you built long before this relationship. You'll learn the belief that keeps you numb, why

You're one foot in, one foot out. And you've told yourself you're just being careful. Maybe you've been with her a year — maybe two — and you still don't know if you're staying. You're analysing her. Judging her. Waiting for a feeling that never comes. And every day you ask the same question: should I stay, or should I go? In this episode I break down why you can't find certainty the way you're looking for it — and why the question itself is quietly killing the thing you're trying to save. This

If you've been told you're "emotionally unavailable," or you keep pushing away the person who gets closest, this is where it starts.

Most men swear they won't become their fathers. Yet without realising it, they're running the exact same patterns—coldness, emotional numbness, withdrawal, rigidity—in their relationships. And it's destroying them. The worst part? Your girlfriend or wife is telling you exactly what's happening. She feels the distance. The emotional absence. The black-and-white thinking. But you either don't hear it, or you hear it as criticism and shut down further. This isn't about being exactly like your dad. It's

It was built by your past, not your reality. In this guide, I break down where the inner critic comes from (hint: insecure attachment and critical caregivers), why ignoring it makes it louder, and the counterintuitive approach to transforming it — using chair work, reparenting, and IFS-style parts work — so you can stop sabotaging
