Too often, I hear stories of men who, as little boys, were violated in unimaginable ways. Conditioned by society to protect and provide for a family, admitting that you are vulnerable seems impossible. The stigma of any abuse against you as a child, is in many ways, complicated and deep.Sexual violation robs you of healthy development so that your beliefs about yourself and the world, become twisted. These negative beliefs become twisted in and against yourself so that being content is almost impossible.Healing is inevitable. You can let go of it. The conditioning. The pain. Move into your hero again.
