Journey On: Men Healing from Sexual Abuse & Assault - Trailer: A Safe Haven for Male Survivors
Don't give up, share your story, ask for help. You are perfectly imperfect and that is okay, but you do not deserve to be hurt any longer.
Imagine a place where men who have endured sexual abuse and assault can find solace, understanding, and hope. 'Journey On' is that sanctuary. Hosted by D.J. Burr, a Seattle psychotherapist and author of 'I Just Wanted Love: Recovery of a Codependent, Sex and Love Addict', this podcast aims to create a supportive community for male survivors. In this trailer episode, D.J. Burr introduces the series and shares his vision of fostering connection and healing among survivors.
The staggering statistics – 1 in 6 men have experienced some form of sexual violence – underscore the urgent need for such a platform. The power dynamics of abuse often leave survivors feeling isolated and helpless, but 'Journey On' strives to break those barriers. One poignant quote from the trailer encapsulates the podcast's mission: 'Don't give up, share your story, ask for help.
You are perfectly imperfect and that is okay, but you do not deserve to be hurt any longer'. This message resonates deeply, reminding survivors that they are not alone and that healing is possible. The trailer also emphasizes the importance of sharing stories and seeking help, crucial steps in the recovery process. Many survivors grapple with feelings of shame and guilt, making it difficult to speak out about their experiences.
However, 'Journey On' offers a safe space where these stories can be shared without judgment. The podcast aims to inspire hope, resilience, and recovery, providing resources and support for those on their healing journey. Whether you're a survivor or someone supporting a loved one, this podcast promises to be a beacon of hope and understanding.
