*Content note: discussion of sexual assault and male survivors.
@tyherndonofficial describes the assault that happened to him at 21 on a national TV show. The cognitive distortion of âI participated.â The first time he medicated. The blueprint for years of self-blame and worthlessness before he found language for what had happened.
