In this episode, IFS Therapist and Sex & Desire Coach Forest Benedict shares his powerful journey from a childhood shaped by religious trauma and family struggles to a life dedicated to helping others heal. In this conversation, we explore the importance of being true to ourselves, embracing the deeper parts within us, and overcoming shame. Topics include self-acceptance, sexuality, Internal Family Systems (IFS), cultural influences on identity, and the ethical complexities around pornography - including whether men should watch it or not. If you’re interested in personal growth, healing religious trauma, sexual integrity, or breaking free from shame, this episode is for you.
I help recovering Nice Guys leave the mask behind and become the man they were meant to be - confident, fearless, and fully going after the life and dreams they truly want. Find out more: https://www.instagram.com/harisonsaunders/
