How Denying My Sexuality Turned Me Into Someone I Never Wanted to Be | Matt Kovatchis
from Young Blood - Men’s Mental Health · host Cal MacPherson
Matt Kovatchis went through school, college and most of his 20s as a closeted bi-sexual, only coming out around a year ago. An athlete raised in a hyper masculine and sometimes homophobic environment, Matt lived with deeply ingrained guilt and shame which he projected onto others, as a bully. For the longest time, he couldn't accept and love who he really was, so he did all he could to be someone else. Pushed to breaking point, Matt finally came out to his sisters and has worked hard in therapy to evolve into the much happier man he is now. --------------- You can find all Young Blood - Men's Mental Health podcasts here: https://linktr.ee/youngbloodmmh Join us on socials!
