What Men Are Really Thinking feat. Anthony Hopson

The Lorraine Murphy Show

Oooh this is a juicy one this week!!

In 2022, I met Anthony Hopson at the week-long Hoffman Process retreat. We instantly connected and have gone on to have a really treasured friendship since.

Anthony has a background in finance, and still runs his business in that space. In recent years, he has expanded his horizons by becoming a certified counsellor, and breathwork practitioner. He runs mens’ circles and is also planning a retreat for men later on this year.

Anthony is very open about his own personal development journey, and is passionate about supporting men to be fully themselves; and have connected, fulfilling relationships with their intimate partners.

In our conversation, we discuss:

• His own healing journey
• The "aim" of men’s work
• His interpretation of healthy masculinity
• The most common challenges he sees men experiencing
• The greatest fears men hold
• Polarity and why it has such influence on relationships
• The issues men often have with their intimate relationships
• The genius tip I heard recently to help men support their partners work through problems
• The Rocking Chair Test
• What guys actually want from their partners
• For those of us mothering boys, what can we do to set them up for being healthy men

The resources we mention are:

• The Holistic Psychologist: instagram.com/the.holistic.psychologist
• The Secure Relationship: instagram.com/thesecurerelationship
• The Way Of The Superior Man, David Deida
• Dear Lover, David Deida
• Beyond Mars & Venus, John Gray
• 12 Rules For Life, Dr. Jordan B. Peterson
• The Gottman Institute resources
