How to Forgive the Unforgivable | Tyler Pugh | TEDxVirginiaTech

Sexual assault amongst men is one of the most underrepresented voices in its field. To believe that things get better when there are so few speaking out about it becomes difficult. The isolation that comes with trauma, specifically for men, is indescribably high. Yet, through this isolation and adversity, forgiveness can be found. Speaker Tyler Pugh's talk aims at analyzing the process in which we go about forgiving people, who we forgive, and what ramifications that has on our lives. This talk is for anyone who has ever felt alone, without a voice or place to go. This is your talk.
