Ask Adam

I feel very self-conscious about my body? Are the Heart Centered Touch Groups all young, buff, in-shape guys?

Most men have issues about our bodies. This is one of the things that holds us back in life. The group participants are a varied group of men of all ages, sizes and body types. There is a high level of acceptance and compassion in the group. You will fell comfortable in no time! I have made huge strides in healing my own negative body issues by being part of Heart Centered Touch for the last three years. I was an overweight kid and I always felt terribly self-conscious about my body. Even after losing the weight, I felt dissatisfied about my body. Heart Centered Touch as helped me accept who I am and how I look a great deal.

I have been depressed for some time and often feel very isolated. Will I feel awkward and out of place in a Heart Centered Touch group?

Many of us go through challenging emotional periods in our lives. Heart Centered Touch groups are an oasis for all of to come and be embraced for who we are and for how we feel. Once you experience the welcoming embrace of our "tribe", you will probably want to come back again and again to feel the nourishing of your body and soul that Heart Centered Touch offers.

I have some 'sexual performance' issues and I don't know how I will feel with a bunch of men in a room whom I don't know. How can I prepare for this?

Sexual performance is not a requirement of Heart Centered Touch. In fact, many men have come to the groups to heal this very issue. There is not one specific way to prepare yourself for attending a group except to have a desire to be helped and to be open and honest with yourself and others about how you feel. Some men prefer to start with some one-on-one sessions with Adam before considering attending a massage group. This is a good option. It is a way to become more comfortable with being vulnerable and asking for help. I am a very caring and nurturing soul. Part of my calling is to help empower men to inhabit their bodies more fully and more joyfully.
