390. Repairing the Rupture with Clint Davis
The Art of Masculinity
02/15/24 • 60 min
Today, Johnny chats with Clint Davis about his new book, “Building Better Bridges,” and what modern parenting should look like. What does it mean to truly model for our children? Parenting can be tough, especially if we’re learning and dealing with our trauma. Clint tells us what we need to do to ensure we don’t pass that trauma on to our children and the next generation.
We have to set our ego aside to show empathy and model the behaviors we want our children to attain. We have to repair the wounds we have with our children, so they don’t turn into the traumas we have from our parents. Don’t let pride stop you. Clint also suggests that we challenge it and check our pride at the door. They also discuss how we can model behavior for our kids, without imposing or projecting our trauma. We need to build bridges to save our kids.
Clint Davis is an army veteran, ordained minister, and licensed psychotherapist. He owns Clint Davis Counseling and Integrative Wellness. He hosts the “Asking Why” podcast and is a best-selling author of his new book, "Building Better Bridges: A Guidebook to Having Difficult Conversations that Can Save Our Children."
