SMITH, PSY.D.","description":"This week I interview clinical psychologist, coach, and author Shawn T. Smith, Psy.D. \u00a0\nShawn is an outspoken critic of the \u201cwoke\u201d\u00a0 ideology spreading through the field of clinical psychology, and speaks up courageously against the American Psychological Association, the governing body propagating it.\nBecause psychology and psychotherapy is one of my core interests, I felt having Shawn on the podcast was essential. I wanted to get his wisdom and insight into this rapidly changing field, and how men can best take advantage of its gifts, while protecting themselves from its growing anti-masculine dangers.\nIn our conversation we discuss:\n\u2022 The manosphere, or as I call it \"The Renaissance of Men\", and how Shawn found his way into the rich world of male personal development\u00a0\n\u2022 The power of shame, and how it can help us in our social interactions, and hurt us when it goes too far\n\u2022 The difference between being men living in service to an ideal, versus men living in servitude\n\u2022 The dangerous ideology spreading through the APA and how it could be leading to an unchecked disaster down the line\n\u2022 His background growing up with a father who owned a truck stop bar, and how his childhood observations of human interactions helped propel him towards a career psychology\nI try to conduct my podcasts in an interview style, where I do minimal talking and lots of listening. But this turned out to be the most conversational podcast yet. And that makes sense, because Shawn is a listener too.\nSo I hope you enjoy this episode with two men finding their way around some of their favorite and most familiar subjects.\nTo watch Shawn\u2019s popular 21Convention Speech, \"How To Keep The Wrong Women Out of Your Life\", click here\nTo visit Shawn\u2019s YouTube channel, where he discusses the APA, click here\nTo purchase Shawn's book \"The Tactical Guide to Women\", click here\nTo follow Shawn on Twitter, click here\nTo visit Shawn\u2019s website, click here\nTo read Robert Bly\u2019s classic \u201cIron John\u201d, click here\nVisit https://renofmen.com to sign up to be notified about exciting upcoming news.\nConnect with us on Instagram and Twitter.","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/077d5416-18ed-4332-a23d-bbdca2b970df/j_NeNa4rnItxJ1OYds7sRGv3.jpg"}
