If one were to describe Mike Tyson’s personality, the first things that come to mind would be ruthless, aggressive, and violent. With Tyson, that would be true, as the boxing legend was notorious for his ferocious and aggressive boxing style.

However, underneath all the confidence, Tyson seems to be a person who is much more human, as his therapist revealed the true nature of Iron Mike in the latest episode of his podcast.

Tyson’s therapist exposes him

During the episode, Tyson’s therapist Sean MacFarland, better known as Seano, was sharing experiences of his traumatic childhood and revealed how he had to change in order to overcome them.

“Nobody can do that unless I give them permission and I realized that the rule doesn’t need to change. Seano needs to change. The only person I suffer from is Seano McFarland and once I got hit to that, things changed a little bit and I always bring a guy like you into conciseness.” He said, pointing out that he saw Tyson as an inspiration when he went through hard times.

Tyson then responded by asking Seano to tell everyone who he really was underneath all the fame and glory, “Tell them who a guy like me is who I really am behind all this stuff.” He said to Seano, who then made sure that it was what Tyson wanted.”Beyond all this stuff?” said Seano. Tyson then stated he was sure and told Seano to let his colleagues know what kind of person they work for.” Yeah, let them know who they work for seriously.” said Tyson.

However, Iron Mike was not ready for what his therapist had to say as Seano went on and exposed Tyson, “Yeah I’ll get down man you’re a sacred little boy sometimes.” He told Tyson who was not expecting this response from his therapist.

Why did Seano call Mike Tyson ‘a scared little boy?’

On First sight, it seems ridiculous that Seano would call ‘The Baddest Man On The Planet’ scared, but just like onions, there are layers to this. Tyson grew up in a poverty-stricken and violent environment, which made him repress his fear and emotions.

Moreover, he used violence and aggression to cope with the emotional trauma he was suffering, but his fears were still present in his unconscious mind, which made him a “sacred boy” deep down. Tyson’s therapist saw just that and can now help Tyson in overcoming his innate fears.
