1in6 Thursday: Ending Violence Against Men and Boys

1in6 Thursday: Shame
As I reread my first three blog entries and recall in my mind the pain and the trial of that season of my life I do not feel shame over it. I used to, but not anymore. I believe that shame is one of the most destructive forces on this planet, if not the most destructive. Shame causes us to live in fear of others knowing. This fear causes us to hide and to hide we must become masters of control.

1in6 Thursday: (Talking about) the "Sex Stuff"
How come, those of us in the trauma recovery field don’t talk much about sex?

This is what I concluded: this biz doesn’t like to talk about sex.
