Survival of the Fittest: Men Discuss The Impacts of Relationship Trauma
I am so excited to bring Episode 8 of EBP to you!! Tune in to part 2 of the Relationship Trauma series that began with Episode 7 "That Cost Me More Than I Could Afford". In Ep. 8, it's the Men's turn to share their experiences and insight into the impacts of relationship trauma. From infidelity to abandonment, tune in to hear how these Men overcame some of the traumas of their past relationships. This was one of the most interesting discussions that I've had, yet! A special shout out to Tyrell, Samp, Shun, and Calvin for their willingness to be the voice of so many men!
