That's the man judging the child. Because the man or the teenager or the young man would clearly be like, what are you doing? This is crazy. Why are you here? But if you take away the innocence and the lens of the way the child saw it, then you're robbing yourself of it. Here is the most freeing part of it for me that I found at 54. in therapy for the first time in my life.

There's something called an arousal template that I had no idea about that from the age of three to seven, I could be wrong on the ages, but the therapist will tell you this three to seven, your arousal template is set as a kid, even though you're not sexual.

So if someone comes along and interject something into your arousal template, be it culturally, be it rape and molestation, violence, violence, All of those things being put into your young child brain becomes a part of your arousal template, especially for men. And for me, being a little boy, the thing that gave me the most shame was when the molester would say, you liked it.

Look, you're a wreck. That's the struggle. How can I be a heterosexual boy, know I like girls and have the same sex thought and desire? That was hard to understand. But understanding that the arousal template in your brain sets that. And has been hijacked. And also, this is the thing that blew my mind. Once it's set, it can't be taken away.

And for me, wrapping my mind and soul around all of that was very freeing. Yeah.

A lot of people say, oh, my God, you're so profound. Look how hard you work. Look how much you've done. A lot of the success that I've experienced in life was because I wasn't dealing. I was just working. I would work my way through it. And relationships wouldn't really work out because I would just work and work and work and work.

And no matter how much work that I did, when the work would stop, I'd be faced with these things happen to you. What do you feel about it? Who are you? What are you? And I just got to a place in my life where it's like, I'm not going to live this way anymore. And at 55, I'm the freest and clearest version of myself that I've ever been.
