CW: Themes of sexual violence and abuse.
This is a different kind of episode from what I've done in the past. While I typically talk about male conditioning and issues around masculinity, this one is quite specific: talking about male survivors of sexual violence. Not perpetrators (though, as mentioned, there's often confusion around that), but survivors.
My guest is my friend Jim Struve, the Executive Director of Men Healing, a non-profit dedicated to supporting men and male-identified folks who have survived sexual violence as children or as adults. Surprisingly, the data shows that about 1 in 6 men are such survivors. That's no small number.
You'll hear about how Jim and his team (many of them survivors themselves) work with these men, helping them reclaim their lives and passions. We talk about why, although it's been useful, perhaps it's time to move on from the terminology of PTSD. We talk about the idea of "invisible deprivation," and how building community can help men heal.
If you or someone you know are a survivor and are looking for support: contact Men Healing. They are waiting for you.
Please let me know what this episode stirs in you. You can always reach me at greg@gregorybflynn or on IG at men.connecting. I'd love to hear from you!
