I discovered yesterday that TikTok is restricting visibility of this video and requiring login to watch it.

The reason given?

"Posts that some may find uncomfortable are unavailable."

What are your thoughts? Is this video too "uncomfortable" for a general audience to see?

If you find yourself feeling irritable, lonely, blue, or otherwise emotionally disrupted during the holidays, try asking yourself:

* How old is the part of me who's feeling that way?
* What does that part of me need/want?
* How might I as an adult provide it?

Holidays or not, don’t give up your life for a family that can’t even see who you are and never will. A corrupt family system will eat you alive no matter how much you try to keep silent and appease it.

There's often a lot of pressure and guilt tripping during holidays from family and culture to "forgive and forget", "let bygones be bygones" and so on. But there are good reasons why we all need to forgive (if we choose to do so at all) at our own speed.

Here's a very small poem I wrote on the #WinterSolstice in 2010.

Stillness is a state of being many of us diligently avoid but if you make some time for it today, you may find it beneficial, and perhaps even as profound as I did on this shortest day of the year 14 years ago.

My Life with Iron Man

"The Iron Man who first came to me when I was an emotionally and psychologically wounded boy who needed a hero is still at work in my life today. I wouldn’t be the person I am today without him."

"I am a Highly Sensitive Man. I’m not abnormal. There’s nothing wrong with me ... And I’m just as tough as any other man. I have to be, just to be who I am in a world that wants me to be something else."

When a man tells you he's in trouble, listen. Many men won't speak up until they're near the end of their rope. Engage patiently with authentic curiosity and find out what's going on. Indifference or attacks on his character when he's raw and vulnerable can send him spiraling downward.

One theme that's run thru my work w/men is that so many men are starving for someone to listen to them sincerely w/genuine interest and authentic curiosity, without judgment and without trying to impose some agenda on them for how they should think, feel, and be.

I'm contacted regularly by bright articulate young guys (20s-30s) w/no job, no profession, no car, flat broke, never had a girlfriend, often still living w/parents. They feel lost, desperate, have no support.

It's heartbreaking and unsustainable. We're losing a generation of men.

This is crazy and completely unplanned. Fifteen years TO THE EXACT DAY and I'm seeing the exact same thing AGAIN on another new platform.

Wow. I guess history really does repeat. Or maybe I'm caught in a loop!

"Most prolonged child abuse (PCA) survivors suffer not only from abuse traumatization, but also from growing up in circumstances that did not adequately transmit to them the intricate skills needed to effectively navigate the complexities of adult living." ~ Steven Gold, PhD

If a man says he's in trouble & asks for help, take him seriously. Many men won't reach out until they are out of options & truly desperate.

What is Healthy Masculinity?

"Any man who defines himself primarily in terms of something external to himself (other people, objects, job, etc) is in for a world of trouble ... Women cannot define #masculinity for men, nor should they be expected to."
