The lost Boys - Reconnected

Who is a Lost Boy?

A Lost Boy is a man or youth, who has lost, or never had, a good, positive, emotional attachment with their father, leaving a deep unattended wound. They carry the pain of an absence of what should have been given from the love of a father. Inside they feel a hole, a gap, a void, something missing. A deep loss. An unattended grief. They have a vulnerability which they had to protect, defend and armour up against, because it was too painful to face. They have a deep sense of shame leaving them feeling there is something wrong with them, that they were not good enough. They never felt man-enough and they’ve spent their life unable to fill this aching hole.

Why does it matter?

A Lost Boy is cut off from their full self, which impacts…

§  their own mental, emotional and physical health,

§  their intimate relationships with their own children, partner and peers

§  their leadership, work ethic and bonds of connection.

The true gift and potential of the Lost Boy’s life is buried within their pain and therefore in befriending their pain they will liberate their truest life story, for the benefit of their community.
