Comment on The world knows Wim Hof as "The Iceman", his family suffered domestic violenceparent

I seriously do not believe you can separate the two with Hof. It is one thing to have an idea, but a con man will convince people his idea is right regardless of the evidence. Con men are usually abusers because they cannot keep up the con in their private life and con men want control over everything else.

And it is possible the Hof is suffering from a mood disorder as well: "Wim Hof’s first relevant experiences with the cold goes back to when he was 17: he felt a sudden urge to jump into the freezing cold water of the Beatrixpark canal."

All he is talking about is self flagellation to get over emotional pain, which is disturbing to me at least.
