While trauma doesn't discriminate by gender, the way we talk about it often does. Today's video is a heartfelt message to all male survivors of sexual abuse who might feel isolated or unsure if healing spaces are meant for them too.
I'm sharing important insights about male survivorship, addressing common concerns, and discussing resources specifically designed for men's healing journeys.
Whether you've been silently carrying this burden or are actively seeking support, this message is for you. If you're comfortable, share your thoughts below. Your voice matters in this conversation, and your presence here is valued. Remember: healing is possible, and you don't have to walk this path alone.
I’d also love to hear form the women in our community.

Episode Notes:
- Many boys experience sexual abuse, with statistics showing 1 in 5 or 1 in 6 boys affected before 18.
- Peggy acknowledges that men may feel excluded from discussions surrounding trauma and healing, even if the information is applicable to all survivors.
- There is a need for more men to participate in trauma discussions to break the stigma and normalize male survivor voices.
- Peggy invites male survivors or those interested to share their experiences, ask questions, and engage in future support groups or workshops.
