Hire PJEby to teach you guys emotional awareness/control. The Mankind Project uses some similar psychological techniques, which has helped me actually put what I read from PJ into practice, but is male-only and not rational in its approach.
Another kinesthetic practice to consider is Z-Health.
There are tons of PUA instructors, but that is an expensive route. Maybe some of the more successful in the community can volunteer some training. Is there an mPUA in the house?
Zvi thinks very highly of hypnosis as a psychological tool, I would consider that as well.
I’ve spoken with Eby. Would love to run a retreat with him eventually, possibly with other partners but would need to take some more time to work out details.
Wait. Isn’t The Mankind Project the one that has been at the center of the… controversy surrounding the lawyer and the forced retreat? The articles I read on the issue made it sound like they used cult tactics and were variously disreputable. Would you care to share your experience?
MKP’s public image is determined almost entirely by their detractors, as they have no publicity team to put a more positive image out there or respond to these incidents. That incident in particular was about a business owner forcing his employees to join, I don’t think that reflects on MKP itself. There have been other high-profile incidents in the news as well, I am sure you can Google them easily enough.
My experience with them has been positive, everything is voluntary and opting out is completely respected. They certainly don’t take a rationalist approach to things (which feels distasteful at times), but they do utilize proven psychological techniques and make real changes in mens’ lives. I’m learning very useful tools from the organization, but other than that I have no particular connection or commitment to MKP. Obviously in a large, dispersed organization like this I am not getting a representative sample, but I have worked with three local communities now and have found the same in each one.
I haven’t done much with it yet. One of my CrossFit coaches was a Z-Health expert, his warmups often involved developing our kinesthetic senses and seemed helpful in developing movement patterns.

Have you done anything with Z Health yourself? It looks promising.
