"Cohen says" of course many today say that it is not possible to leave homosexuality, but this is simply a legend because change is possible. "Answering the interviewer's questions, he spoke about his personal experience, his homosexual past and his present with his wife and three children: "I felt sexually attracted to men. People told me I was born this way, but I realized that something was wrong, even though everyone around me insisted that it was the most normal thing in the world.
I discovered where the desires for my sex came from, I learned how to heal those wounds and meet the unmet needs from my childhood. I have made many mistakes so that others can avoid some of the obstacles on the path to freedom ”. He took a degree in psychology and founded the International Healing Foundation. His site is under construction for now but you can find many articles about him on the web and on his Facebook page. "
