Atonement with the Father is a stage in Joseph Campbell's monomyth (Hero's Journey) where a man confronts 'The Godhead'. In doing so, he becomes complete-- unlocking the "god" within himself (Apotheosis).
Psychologically it represents healing of the Father Wound-- the gaps in one's masculinity due to the shortcomings of one's father figure.

“Sometimes you need to be punched so hard in the face that you wake up”

Since appearing in episode 140 Slave to King: Nice Guy Transformation, I have received more listener questions about him than any other guest.
Patrick H. from Germany returns to the podcast to fill us in on his life since his return to dating post-celibacy, and now in a new kind of relationship.
If you’re a man with a history of unfulfilling relationships, choosing the wrong women, or general Nice Guy BS, listen to this one.
We cover his roadmap of transformation the last 18 months, changing of archetypes, how to use your body to recognize truth, narcissistic PD, and what it really means to be King.
