Masculine Checkout Syndrome
Great article, so I’m posting it. . . It reveals the urgent epidemic of MCS. . . ‘masculine checkout syndrome.’
Klara here,
Have received many comments from you thanking me for my radical honesty. That it’s refreshing and authentic, especially in this industry. I am all about keeping it real. My opinion is that the only way to be happy is to own all the parts of ourselves unapologetically with genuine pride and honour, not arrogance or pompousness, for the sake of sharing and allowing ourselves and others to learn from it.
The reality is that we are all wounded. Thing is, only some of us are aware of the wounds; where they came from and what to do with them, and even how to recognize them showing up in our lives.
As a young girl I was a high performance athlete and I learned through my father, coaches and fellow athletes that I was only worthy of being loved if I stayed on top. If I brought home the medal, the trophy, and if my name was in the newspaper. Truth is I learned to despise everyone because I wanted to be loved and appreciated for ME, just plain old me. Not because I was good at something or because I beat other people. Not because I got straight A’s and won all the honour role awards at school and performance awards in athletics. I used my athletic dedication to disguise the pain and trauma I had at home. Twice divorced parents, split families, tension, stress, fighting, the atmosphere of my home life was awful. Anything I could do to escape it. . . I embraced. Luckily I chose a healthier path than some; being an athlete kept me healthy and focused and out of drugs/alcohol and the like.
Anyways that is just a very short synopsis of my childhood. I learned to seek help and guidance very very young. At just 14 I got my first social worker, then guidance counselor through high school, made best friends with my ballet teacher who was also a psychotherapist, and started therapy at 19 years old. The reason I made it through the bulk of my issues and lack of family support is because I NATURALLY KNEW I NEEDED TO REACH OUT FOR SUPPORT. And I did. And that was my life raft to sanity. It wasn’t easy. I had alot of sh*t to work through, primarily having major ‘daddy issues’.
My Issues Included:
So! I set out on becoming a coach and here I am on my journey. Still healing from my last love relationship with yet another man who wasn’t ready to embrace me. (Not sure if he is coming around or not . . . we have a beautiful connection it seems he is not ready for. . . so I am doing my best to accept and love him as he is, while doing what I need to do for myself.) Taking my time being single, fixing my life, opening my professional coaching business and anchoring in everything I’ve learned. I’m currently learning from three 7-figure business owners (in the personal development field) and am extremely dedicated to achieving my goals in life.
What will the future bring for me? Business success. (At least $200k/year). A happy, healthy, romantic fairytale relationship. A happy and healed family. Being able to give back to society and help those in need. Being an inspirational figure who can inspire and allow others to succeed as well.
So there you have it, my life story in a very small and succinct nutshell, I’m sure there are many more details to tell you but that is just the beginning. The point of this post was to authentically reveal my own struggles and show you there’s a way out. But the way through the tunnel is to actually go through the tunnel. You have to take every step necessary to reach the other side. If you decide to turn back you will never make it out. So allow yourself the support, guidance and motivation you require to get to the other side. YOU CAN DO IT! And I have lots of love and care to offer you on your journey.
Lotsa love, Klara
