Why He Shuts Down Instead of Showing Up: A Trauma-Informed Look at Men In this episode, host Lisa Urbanski talks with author Willie Handler about how father wounds, anxiety, and intergenerational trauma quietly shape men’s ability to open up, stay present, and build healthy relationships. You’ll hear a compassionate, practical conversation about what’s really happening underneath “commitment issues,” and how both men and women can respond with understanding instead of blame. You’ll learn: - How father relationship trauma impacts adult love and attachment - Why anxiety and shame often show up as avoidance or “I can’t commit.” - What intergenerational trauma is—and how it lives in your body and reactions - Simple tools (therapy, EMDR, breathwork, stillness) to start healing If you’ve ever asked, “Why can’t he commit?” or “Why do I keep attracting emotionally unavailable people?”—this episode will help you connect the dots and take your next step toward healing.

Episode 49 - The Covering We Never Got—But Still Need Episode 49 - The Covering We Never Got—But Still Need In this powerful and honest episode of Pastors in Recovery, Jon explores the deep theme of coverings—what it means to live under the shelter of God when you’ve grown up uncovered. So many pastors and ministry leaders were never fathered themselves. Some grew up with abusive dads, emotionally absent parents, or no example of love at all. And now, as fathers and shepherds, they’re trying to lead others with wounds they’ve never been taught to heal. Jon unpacks the biblical meaning of being covered—by the blood of Jesus, the presence of the Holy Spirit, and the father-heart of God—and shares real-life scenarios that show how unhealed wounds can sabotage our parenting, our leadership, and our sense of worth. This episode includes: - Biblical truths about spiritual covering - The emotional cost of growing up without a loving father - How unaddressed trauma shows up in ministry - A special original song titled “Father Me Now” that captures the heart of the message If you’ve ever felt like you’re faking it behind the pulpit or falling apart as a dad, this one’s for you.  📩 Connect or share your story: 📺 YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@pastorsinrecovery 📘 Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/pastorsinrecovery 🌐 Website & Forum: http://www.pastorsinrecovery.com
