My story starts, I’d assume, like yours. I was a creative, problem-solving, expressive, emotionally intelligent, and deep-thinking kid – but one who felt misunderstood a lot of the time, so I learned to be a chameleon, suppress my thoughts and shut my emotions down, to not take risks. I felt alone in determining who I was as a man. I found myself going around in circles in the same unhelpful patterns, lacking any real substance in my relationships, overthinking and stuck in my head while feeling disconnected to my body, not really understanding myself, believing in myself or knowing what I even wanted.
