The objective of this research was to investigate and understand the psychological repercussions on adult men of violent familial experiences in childhood and adolescence, based on a Jungian perspective. Extant studies indicate a significant correlation between experienced violence and mental suffering. Treating that suffering is extremely important in order to promote mental health. However, the psychological impact on adult men of violent experienced prior to adulthood is still a neglected area of study, making it difficult to treat their mental suffering. Seeking to fill this gap, this qualitative research selected seven male participants for reflective interviews and expressive activities (drawings), in which the symbols of male emotional wounds and their repercussions on the psychic lives of these men were explored. The data obtained suggest that men reproduce past violence in their adult relationships, and often suffer psychological disturbances, such as difficulties in relationships and emotional communication, fear of judgment, and insecurities related to intense self-demand. Sexual compulsions and difficulties in making active decisions were observed as a consequence of past sexual violence. Furthermore, some of the participants were also victims of domestic violence. Violence is part of men's socialization and exercise of masculinity, and influences how they take care of their mental and bodily health. The masculine characteristics valued by the patriarchal society are virility, firmness and competition, which make boys grow up muffling and naturalizing the violence they suffer throughout their lives. It is necessary to think about possibilities of expression, even at a developmental age, which could reduce the emotional suffering that men experience for years. The author hopes that, based on this research, new interventions will be carried out in the area, aiming to promote health and reduce violence in our society
