From Sexual Abuse to Self-Mastery (The Truth Men Avoid) - Triangle Theory #042

We discuss:
– The long-term effects of trauma on masculinity and identity  
– Why so many men suppress their pain and how it shows up in adulthood  
– The turning point that changed Malcolm’s life forever  
– Tools for healing: breathwork, men’s circles, emotional release  
– How to break free from shame and rediscover personal power

This is a story about pain, truth, and the path toward becoming whole again. If you're a man — or love one — this is the conversation we all need to have.
