This is the 5th video in our series on The Psychology of the Man-Child. In it, we blend psychology and mythology to explore the negative mother complex and the regressive unconscious energies that afflict a man caught in its grip. We examine how these energies can keep him emotionally fused with his mother well into adulthood, leave him passively dependent on a girlfriend or wife, or pull him into pornography addiction. We also investigate the “provisional life” - a common pattern in which a man drifts from one life plan, project, or relationship to the next, never committing to one long enough to achieve any semblance of success.
