Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Rick Belden
Every situation has healing potential.
Men are hungry for ways to access their emotions safely. No man wants to open up & be shamed or scared into shutting back down again.
A man who is disconnected from his own needs is truly disconnected from himself, and well down the path to trouble in his life.
Healing is not for wimps. The real tough guys are the ones who can do the work.
