    Momma traumas should be healed before adult relationships... Women don't want traumapackages. Women want men to admit their faults like adults do. Walking on eggshells all the time is like having a relationship with a little fragile kid.

      No one fully heals original hurts, they just learn to move beyond them. When you allow yourself to be vulnerable in a love relationship, all those sensitive spots can come up again. You want your man to be sensitive to you -- you have to do the same. A man doesn't want to admit weaknesses, he wants to be your hero. If you don't allow him to, or encourage him to be your hero, he will go elsewhere.

    Avoid activating his Momma Trauma by NOT:
    1. Constantly fixing/correcting him
    2. Using guilt control/passive aggressiveness
    3. Asking or telling him what to do
    4. Being very aggressive and confronting

  • @MissSarahGM
    @MissSarahGM 4 ปีที่แล้ว +116

    "I feel statements" includes " I feel disappointed". This is not to guilt them but to express our authentic self. Otherwise I don't know what is left safe to say, it's tiptoeing around their ego. If they feel "emasculated" that easily, they should work on theirselves first and mature a bit. I think you're using the "momma" trauma excuse a bit too far here. Men who will shut down when you express your disappointment after poor behavior, are too immature to be in relationships.

    • @wittymystic7361
      @wittymystic7361 4 ปีที่แล้ว +57

      I agree. I can feel angry and I have a right to voice when I'm upset, especially when he's four hours late for Thanksgiving dinner with the excuse that he was looking for a pie. If you don't want me to act like your momma, don't act like a child. Act like a man. If you didn't really want to come to Thanksgiving dinner in the first place, then just say so. Don't say yes and then engage in passive-aggressive behavior later and then accuse me of triggering your momma issues.

    • @klaudialacayo2333
      @klaudialacayo2333 4 ปีที่แล้ว +18

      I get you but I think he meant when you abuse using the disappointment card. For example when you use it as disappointed in him as a person to make him feel bad vs being disappointed atm for the situation. I don't think it would effectively change a behavior in the long term for all cases. And also using the format (which takes practice but then becomes natural after some time), "x situation made me feel very disappointed" vs "you disappoint me" (bc it feels more like an attack and it tends to turn into a battle when we here you, in general both sexes feel accused). If he overall always disappoints you, at that point he's probably not the right person for the woman. I wouldn't say eliminating the word from our vocabulary either though.

    This was so good! I used to be the "momma" in past relationships! I was totally not aware of how I was coming across. In my relationship now I know that I am prone to do this and have made it a mission to be mindful. I even practiced changing the way I interact with my 19 year old son and now we have great communication. I am now practicing everything good that you said in this video and my relationship is going amazing. The dynamic between me and my man like I've never had in any relationship. This strategy WORKS!!

    Hey Matt! Thanks for this perspective. Us women are usually triggered when we feel abandoned or feel suddenly unimportant to our man, so it takes a mammoth amount of self control to be the neutral one in these cases and not react.
    Because at that point our hearts are a bit mashed and we feel betrayed or snubbed. Sometimes several times a week!
    I recently read a great article on how the Inuit raise their kids (the adults never ever get angry with them) and instead they wait until the child has calmed down and then tell them a story that includes lessons and a perspective for the child to view his actions better from.
    There’s no guilting the kid, no making him feel miserable about how he reacted, it’s just empowering him to next time choose to act in a more grown up and appropriate way.
    That article plus this video really helps with that new perspective. I’m starting to see that if I’m upset, to “park” that for a day so that the upset isn’t the thing directing the conversation.
    Instead, the conversation can lead with what my preferred outcome would be.
    It’s definitely worth a shot. ;)
    Thanks Matt !

    Women have momma trauma too!! You made excellent points about momma trauma in your video but as I listened I began to feel my own anxieties start to surface. I have four siblings. Only one is male. My mom put him on a pedestal. He couldn’t do anything wrong which caused his own brand of momma trauma. He’s on his fourth marriage. As the oldest I got the full force of the trauma you spoke about that often ended with physical punishment. My mother’s theory was that my younger sisters would learn to behave themselves by watching me get punished and many times it was for their behavior. My brother fell off his pedestal and punishing me didn’t change my sisters behavior. We all have our own kind of momma trauma.

    Your energy is amazing. This is also great to teach our daughters on how to treat others, not just men, In my opinion. My ex always tried to make me feel bad, or like I lost control as a parent, for not making our daughter feel bad for her actions or that she shouldn’t be given an explanation. Sometimes the “I’m your mom” bit is needed, but it can’t be the to-go method. Persuasive psychology-if you tell a person why they should do something, they’re more likely to do it. Of course, you yourself can’t use it as leverage for manipulation on people you love (marketing does the manipulation bit to us all of the time). This way our daughters don’t have watch “how to treat a person decently” vids 😆.

    Hi Matt, I am back in the dating scene after 8 yrs of being a widow. I found a terrific guy who is really good with me. I have been following your videos and taking notes on certain videos. Thank you for being out there. It has been over 20 yrs since I have been with any man intimately because of my violent abuse in my past. Now I am breaking out and this new man in my life makes me feel comfortable with him. I will be watching more of you in the future.

    I have a handyman/contractor that MUST have some deep momma trauma, and it gets super tiring when I ask for information (status of job or a bid, etc....normal feedback or data) and he balks like I just criticized him. It’s getting to the point that I feel very forced to decrease his workload by a LOT. I have another contractor that is outbidding him by half and will get things done with two people in less than half the time. Getting info and to get him to report in and even getting invoices and receipts and keys is just so tedious. i feel he turns me into his free and nonstop secretary, when in actuality, I am his boss and the landlord and I sign the checks. And I feel like I have to always bolster his self-esteem, and say, you did such a good job. I feel like he both needs me to be his mommy and also hates his mommy. Dealing with someone this wounded and unconscious of his inner wounding, is just SO MUCH WORK. And this is supposed to be a PROFESSIONAL relationship. He gives me no context, and partial data. I give him full pictures. He’s writing himself out of my staffing choices. He could have major renovation work, ongoing, and he doesn’t seem to be able to handle the urgency, is in crisis if he has to compete for the job, feels entitled (territorial) and is just sloppy with business norms (invoicing, printing, follow through). Many contractor types, simply can not deal with a woman boss, period. Men don’t have to put in context a simple request or expectation, like dinner. So why , oh why do we have to put in context something like taking out the trash? Jeez. It’s simple. How hard is it to take out the trash? Why does she have to request it, exactly? That’s not partnership, that’s babysitting a 10 year old.

IF a Guy needs to hear a context everytime he is asked to take out the garbage I would think he is Stupid and not worth my time: IF he has not learned that you take out the trash because it needs to be Done, what more reason need there to be?

    That would be a good video, on how a woman can be a man's muse, inspire him to be the best and fullest expression of himself so he can pursue his goals and accomplish his dreams and be the man we respect, love an adore who makes us feel safe to be vulnerable with, that we feel we can allow him to explore and really know the full mystery of who we really are. That would be a powerful video because then as the feminine we have permission ( we give ourselves permission because we can let down our guard) and feel free to be more feminine and receptive to him knowing he's in this energy. Does that make sense?

    Mat: Can you tell me the difference between activating his momma trauma and displaying your standards?
    I want to tell him what I consider necessary in a relationship/what I will not accept without nagging or criticising him.
    One will obviously make him work harder for me and highly attractive if he's the right guy, but the other could break a relationship.
    Thanks for your immensely helpful videos!

    I think a way to solve this is to handle our Father issues enough to pick a Man who we respect and feel safe enough with to be an equal teammate to. Picking an immature or "project" guy is really a way to protect ourselves from being vulnerable with a man who we truly admire and revere.

    Such a great video. When a woman has activated the momma trauma accidentally in her guy and her guy has gone into the wounded state and the walls have gone up what can a woman do to bring the walls down again and reconnect? Men will often stonewall shut down shut out and then make it impossible to communicate...ie. refusing to pick up the phone, blocking texts and becoming defensive. How do woman break these patterns and reestablish communication? This will be a very useful video. Thanks so much.

    Mat, most women I know, when they say "aww, you're going out with the guys this evening, I thought we could spend some time together" followed up by "well have fun with the guys", that's not said to make a man feel guilty, that's said, because she's sad because she had missed her man, thought of him through out the day maybe, and when she hears that, she feels sad, because the man did not check up with her first, made her feel his first priority. But Jesus, all the woman get back from the man is "you're controlling" or "you're manipulative". And this man start to date others and tell this new woman, that his ex was controlling or manipulative, when only she was sweet and loving toward him 🤦‍♀️
