[Ep. 281] The Difference Between Raising "Gentle Boys" & EMBODIED Ones

July 21, 2025

In this episode, Luis dives into the developmental trauma of boys -- a continuation of Episode 279: This Is Why I Think P*rnography Is Traumatizing For Developing Boys -- and how they are generally unsupported through puberty.

There's a lot of discourse around "toxic males" and problematic men in our society, but not a lot of somatic discussion around how to support young boys in a new way so they can walk a different path: a more embodied one.

Luis encourages community building for parents, which is something that's been lost from parenting in isolation, and offers ideas for meeting young male aggression in a way that works for them.

Register here for the upcoming August 9th webinar, "Supporting Boys Through Puberty: Navigating P*rnography, Hormones & Isolation".
