I have picked my mantra up into it: we can be better. That's my quest for social justice: that our lives can be better if we share our stories and our lives with each other.
How do male survivors of childhood sexual abuse find their way to healing? In this episode of Samsn's STRONGER podcast, several brave men open up about their pasts and the strategies they’ve used to cope with their trauma. From battling addiction to grappling with feelings of shame and self-blame, these survivors reveal the heavy burdens they’ve carried and the ingenious ways they’ve managed to survive.
Psychologists Sophie Reid and Jace Cannon Brookes provide expert insights into these coping mechanisms, explaining how abusers' tactics often leave survivors feeling complicit and responsible for the abuse. But it’s not all about the struggle. The episode also highlights the transformative power of community and connection. By sharing their stories, these men are breaking free from the cycle of secrecy and shame. They discuss alternative healing methods like yoga and somatic therapy, which have helped them reclaim their lives.
Featuring voices from SAMSN and clinical experts, this episode is a testament to resilience and the possibility of recovery. It's a powerful listen for anyone seeking to understand the impact of childhood sexual abuse on males and the paths to healing.
