Peter-pan syndrome: how overprotective parents create needy, dependent men

In today’s video, I'm diving into a very common issue: the feeling of being stuck as a boy in a man's body - Peter Pan Syndrome. No judgment, mate, but ask yourself: Do you feel more like a boy or a man in the way you live, act, and handle life?
I used to be trapped in that state myself, emotionally and psychologically stunted, even into my mid-20s. No direction, no purpose, just playing video games and living with my dad. But everything changed when I discovered Jordan Peterson’s take on Peter Pan Syndrome. It hit me - I was Peter Pan.
I know I’m not alone in this. Many men, even those successful in their careers, struggle with this same feeling. They’re living lives more suited to teenagers than grown men. But there’s one core reason I want to focus on today: overprotective parenting.
In this video, I’ll explain how overprotective parents can stunt a boy’s growth, keeping him from becoming a man. And more importantly, I’ll give you 3 tips to break free from Peter Pan Syndrome and start living as the man you’re meant to be.

In October I'm launching the Courageous Man Community...
- weekly live calls with other like-minded men.
- monthly workshops on relationships, inner work, personal growth.
- a new 30-day challenge every month (reading, meditation, exercise).
- full access to all courses that get released (currently: healing the father wound, overcoming social anxiety … soon = a course on being a great lover by men’s sexuality coach Andrew Mioch).
- a space to fully be yourself and develop as a man.
