The Protocol System
What can you expect?
The Aligned Warrior Protocol is a combination of one-on-one sessions and group sessions designed to take you from where you are today, to the new man that you want to be again, or to the man that you want to be for the first time in your life.
The first four sessions are one-on-one, and they are designed to set the groundwork for what will happen over the following five months. It will be personal. It will be raw. You will be comfortable sharing the details of how you got to where you are today, and everything that makes that up. Remember, you are in a judgement-free zone. It is a safe place to talk about things that you have locked away for months, or even years. In these sessions we will go over the following things:
- Your childhood
- Your dreams about life as an adult
- Traumatic experiences
- Meeting your spouse and your goals for your marriage
- Early years in your marriage, and where things changed
- You career or careers and their impact
- Where it all fell apart and the beginning of the downward spiral
- Making peace with the past, and drawing a line in the sand
This process takes about three sessions and should not be rushed. Before we can move forward we need to be able to OWN where we went wrong, and we need to OWN our mistakes. That is so powerful, and begins the process of restoration.
After we have the baseline established you will be assigned a “platoon”, as all warriors are - groups of up to twenty men for small who are exactly where you are, and you will learn very quickly that you are NOT alone in this process. This is where we learn together, and let “iron sharpen iron.” Please note that what you share in private with me will not be shared in the group sessions unless you want to share.
The group dynamic is an important part of the process because it is where we talk about our struggles that week, and we celebrate our wins. Talking about these things together not only encourages you, but also the others in the session. We will work through various exercises together and individually, and before you know it, you are at graduation day where you earn your coin. You will have become the Aligned Warrior, and you will be a part of a brotherhood that is as tight-knit as any military platoon because you will have walked through fire together and come out stronger on the other side.
