Yup. Me too. All not just some. Except substitute "dangerous sports" for "violent sports" I climb rocks, ice, mountains and travel to remote regions and sometimes sketchy places. It continues to amaze me that there are other people in the world who share this cluster of issues/problems/behaviors. Hey brothers!

Yes, very therapeutic. Learning how to rock climb was the best thing I ever did as far as building self-confidence and starting to learn how to trust others. Speaking of solo backpacking, the very idea terrified me, so of course when I was 18 or 19 I decided to go alone for five days! I never could figure out how to gradually expose myself to disturbing stimuli.
