U want to hear about men who perpetrated violence making positive change to overcome their trauma and undo bullshit gender rules?
Listen to this years Reith Lectures free on the BBC Sounds app. They're given by forensic psychologist Dr Gwen Adshead and this episode from Dec 10th she's talking about the links between adverse childhood experiences and perpetrating violence, recorded at a UK therapeutic prison for helping ppl convicted of violent crime to work through their trauma, no matter how long it takes, in a supportive environment.
There's a Q&A with the inmates and it's really positive.
(slightly paraphrasing from memory) "I went to the group with my Ugly Self, and they gave me acceptance."
It's a super important topic and I'm glad this year's lectures are focusing on it.
