Episode Synopsis

In this deeply personal chapter, Alden Elior returns to one of the most painful moments of his youth—the day in junior high when he was humiliated for simply wanting to belong. Through vivid memory, he explores how invisibility, neglect, and emotional absence shaped his early identity, and how those wounds became his “kryptonite” in adulthood. Guided by compassion, he begins reparenting that boy—offering the love, protection, and presence his own father never could. This is a story about reclaiming the parts of ourselves left standing alone in the line, and finally bringing them home.Topics (SEO Keywords): childhood rejection, invisibility wound, men’s mental health, reparenting, inner child healing, father wounds, self-worth recovery, vulnerability, Alden Elior, emotional healing journeySupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/stone-and-pine/exclusive-content
