The last hug
This weekend’s blog is dedicated with affection to the beautiful, full-hearted men of the Tampa workshop. I’ve written much here about what I’ve learned from physically holding hundreds of men in 60-90 minute individual sessions. Much of that information I have gleaned from the “approach …
