Coping & Mental Health For Wounded Men

Abuse doesn’t end when the relationship ends.
It stays in your body. Your sleep. Your silence.
It shows up in the flinch when your phone buzzes. In the anger you can’t explain. In the numbness that won’t go away.

This section is for the men who didn’t just survive — they’re still dealing with the aftershocks.

You’re not broken. You’re reacting to trauma.
And no — you don’t have to become a soft-spoken yogi or sit in a drum circle.
But you do need tools. Truth. And space to unpack what happened without judgment.
