Ep 39: Raising children while working on child traumas, Emmanuel's Story

Host: Cindy Hovington, Ph.D.

Guest: Emmanuel

Summary:

In today’s episode, I chat with Emmanuel, the founder of the Bronch Club and a dad of 2. He shares with us the trauma from his past and how this was having an impact on his life as a husband and a father. He discusses the importance of therapy and of creating a safe space where men can be vulnerable and open up about their experiences. “By creating a safe space for men to be vulnerable, we are creating a safe space for women to be free”.
