I couldn't cry until I was 30. That wasn't strength. It was a body that had learned to shut down.

Crying isn't the goal. It's a sign that the jaw is letting go. Some men need years. Some need an hour in which nobody judges them for it.

If you know this, start with a conversation. The work itself is one-to-one work.
