In today’s world, many of us feel trapped by the invisible forces of a sick society. Some say it’s toxic masculinity, feminism, or the pressures of social conformity. Whatever it is, we often feel chained to ideals and emotions that aren’t truly our own. In this video, I explore how these societal norms affect your mind, emotions, and sense of self, delving into the concept of the “vortex of negative affect" and the "chaining process". You'll learn how to identify these societal chains, the origins of your external compass, and how you can break free from the cultural shackles holding you back. If you've ever felt the weight of societal pressure, guilt, or shame, this video offers the psychological insights and tools needed to regain control of your life. Tune in to discover how to start living authentically and on your own terms.
