Through WiseGuyz we have learned how deeply disconnected some adolescent boys feel from themselves and from people in their lives because of the cultural expectations of masculine ideologies to be stoic, invulnerable, and autonomous. Niobe Way claims that at this pivotal point in development for adolescent boys, they experience great loss of intimacy in friendships, homophobia, and conventions of masculinity begin to create ‘gender straightjackets’ for boys. She proposes that these confines can be linked to suicide and depression rates of boys being double that of girls.

[…]

When asked what they would carry forward most from WiseGuyz, the boys unanimously stated healthy relationships and awareness of the “man-box.” They shared that at the age of 14 they feel intense pressure about the “man-box” and that “you can’t show emotion” and that “you gotta be tough. You gotta be mean.”

In WiseGuyz, the boys learn to unlearn by undressing the armour of disconnection and stoicism. They redress with comfort in emotion and feeling safe to ask questions in their intimate relationships.

The opening of emotionality through WiseGuyz is a kind of permission for boys “to have an internal life, approached for the full range of human emotions, and help in developing an emotional vocabulary so that they may better understand themselves and communities more effectively with others.” The centrality of fulsome emotion is fundamental to the psychological well-being of adolescent boys, to sustaining healthy male norms and to their ability to engage in healthy relationships.

.r.eclaim your life "The person is not reality" I am that - Nisargadatta Maharaj Sometimes it is a challenge to figure out who we really are. Are we our habits, our upbringing, our friend groups, our musical preferences? Are we our thoughts, our emotions, our past experinces? Take a second and observe your thinking. If you can do so, then you have reached an enlightening stage, for you can see at the base of it all you are the observer. Swayed by all the aforementioned things, but not them.... #enlightenment #thinkaboutthinking #youarenotyourcar #iamthat #takethepowerback #soccerball #greengrass #nikeswoosh #sponsormybabbling #wiseguyz #spirituality #findyourself #findmyself #theself #thewho #reading #bookclub #booklist #readme #wisdom #yogi #yoga4life #readingforbrains #meditateonthis https://www.facebook.com/RAWrTransformations
