Gay Trauma, Gay Healing: Dan Werner on Breaking the Patterns We Carry EP 784

In this episode:

• What do we actually mean when we talk about gay trauma?
• The lasting effects of growing up feeling different or unsafe
• Shame, rejection, bullying, and the closet
• How trauma can influence sex, dating, intimacy, and attachment
• Seeking validation through sex, attention, and relationships
• Recognizing survival behaviors we've carried into adulthood
• Why healing doesn't mean becoming less sexual or less adventurous
• Creating healthier connections without judging the choices that got us here
• Dan Werner's work helping gay men understand and move through trauma

A thoughtful, revealing conversation about where our patterns come from—and what becomes possible when we finally understand them.
