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.
