Rage IN BOYS

There is an angry rage that sits deep in boys’ hearts that have been abused. The trauma manifests in a deep dark place as the boy grows, if he hasn’t had the opportunity to understand the rage and put a face to it. It is in this moment that the face becomes a catharsis for healing and understanding. Without this opportunity, the boy becomes a man full of hidden rage. That rage often gets released unexpectedly and in most inopportune moments, and often toward those not deserving of it. This deeply hidden rage has no name as the age of the rage was so early that the words to describe the terror hadn’t been created in their young minds. Reconstructing the trauma is necessary for healing to begin, but before that is to occur, the man (inner child) needs to put words to the rage and sorrow.
