gay grown and still hurting

In this episode, I get personal about my own "soft rock bottom" and the unexpected therapy insight that changed everything: your wounded inner child is still calling the shots.I explore why so many gay men are still being shaped by the boy they used to be, why we're so uniquely vulnerable to childhood emotional wounds, and what it actually looks like to start healing. Not by silencing that scared little boy, but by finally showing up for him.This one is about reparenting, emotional sensitivity, and why your reactions aren't a weakness. They're a nervous system doing its best. And it's about how, once you see what's really driving you, you get to change the script.Want to go deeper?
