TRIGGER WARNING!!!!!!

good evening guys. i decided to go ahead and do a recovery video blog. below is the link to the first episode that i've called fear/assignment...

i felt very strongly about doing this. not only to help myself but to help others too and if it helps even one person then it is worth it...

i'm posting a trigger warning because there is a lot of raw emotion in it. this is me fellas.. this is a part of me... here's hoping we can gain some healing from it... thanks fellas...

Todd,

You're a brave soul to expose yourself so openly to us. I commend and respect you for that. I don't know that I could do the same.

My hope for you is that you will keep making steps (even baby steps) forward with your intimacy issue. Give yourself some time and space before starting another relationship. Good things come to those who wait. smile

Your Brother,

Rusty

Hey Todd!

That was brave!

Thanks for posting-it makes me sad we haven't connected more lately-I think a lot of men will find your video helpful-much more than just posts on a page.

I hear you about the fear of intimacy-that ruled my life for many years and destroyed relationships-I had to trust that I could walk thru dating and relationships one date at a time, and just see where things went when I was willing to face the fear. (I already know what it's like to run from the fear.)

Jamie

The benefit I get from this is un-unclear by any specific name, but I can descride it as being A LOT like my group every Tuesday night. The tangibility of YOU...the reality of YOU actually being here. This is truly powerful! What an idea! Well done!
