The King - Wounded by Chaos and HumiliationCore role: To bring order, blessing, and direction.Core wound: Feeling powerless, unseen, or unworthy of influence.What wounds himUnstable childhood or authority figures - if caretakers were erratic or cruel, your inner King learned "order is impossible."Constant criticism or failure without affirmation - makes you afraid to take up space.Existential wound: Realizing the world doesn't guarantee fairness, so your efforts to "make a kingdom" can feel futile.Result: The King collapses into the Weakling (avoids responsibility) or becomes the Tyrant (tries to control everything).---__ 2. The Warrior - Wounded by Betrayal and GuiltCore role: To act decisively, protect, and pursue purpose.Core wound: Having your aggression, ambition, or assertiveness shamed - or fighting for something meaningless.What wounds himPunished for strength or anger - "Don't fight back," "Don't talk back."Being forced into battles that feel pointless - jobs, relationships, or systems that drain you.Existential wound: Seeing that courage doesn't guarantee victory, so the drive for action feels absurd.Result: The Warrior becomes the Masochist (turns aggression inward) or Sadist (lashes out).--

_ 3. The Magician - Wounded by Deception and IsolationCore role: To understand, heal, and reveal truth.Core wound: Being told your perception or curiosity is dangerous, weird, or unwanted.What wounds himGaslighting or secrecy - when reality is denied around you, you doubt your own mind.Using intellect to hide pain - knowing much, but feeling little.Existential wound: Realizing that knowledge doesn't equal wisdom, and no insight can fully solve suffering.Result: The Magician turns into the Denier (withholding truth or retreating into cynicism) or Manipulator (using insight for control).---__ 4. The Lover - Wounded by Rejection and LossCore role: To feel, connect, and celebrate life's beauty.Core wound: Having your love, sensitivity, or desire shamed - or losing something you deeply loved.What wounds himEmotional neglect or heartbreak - "You care too much," "Don't cry."Addiction or overstimulation - seeking ecstasy instead of intimacy.Existential wound: The awareness that all connection is temporary; love can't stop mortality.Result: The Lover becomes the Depressed/Impotent Lover (numbness) or the Addicted Lover (chasing sensation).---_ The Shared Root: Loss of MeaningAll four wounds trace back to one core pain:> The world doesn't automatically bless, guide, or reward us - we must do it ourselves.That discovery is existentially devastating at first, but it's also the moment you start becoming the author of your life, not just its subject.---_ Healing DirectionKing: Create structure - routines, decisions, responsibility.Warrior: Channel energy - exercise, assert boundaries.Magician: Reflect - journal, study symbols, talk honestly.Lover: Reconnect - art, touch, nature, compassion.Healing isn't about perfection; it's about restoring the conversation between these parts of you so none are exiled.---

>>82895985>"Male maturity is when people act in ways that benefit me. It's immature when you act in ways that don't benefit me. See? I made a chart. now heal me, keep me safe, give me some of your abundance, and entertain me with song and dance."
