Rep. Scott Brown’s Book reputedly Inspired Follow-On CSA report

AOL News reported last week that another male survivor of abuse at the camp where Republican Scott Brown was abused as a child, has disclosed and reported his own abuse to the authorities following the publication of the politician’s memoir, Despite not being the most popular man of the past few months due to wrangling over Collective Bargaining, at least Brown’s book has helped with at least one disclosure where the survivor wants the case treated formally.

  • Sharing – Lifelong Imprints of Childhood

    We hear stories about this all the time. If your parents constantly compare you to an older sibling who could do no wrong, you spend much of your adult life believing you are not enough. If you come from a family that didn’t express emotion, you find it hard to be close to someone emotionally as an adult, and so on.

    You take those messages about what is expected from your surroundings and adjust your behaviors and beliefs to fit in with them. It can be very difficult, not impossible, to overcome that and relearn a different message.

    If this seems familiar to you, I want you to take the next step and imagine what kind of messages a survivor of childhood abuse carries from their childhood.

    One, it’s clear that talking about mental health issues is something that younger people are more comfortable with, and the prevalence of people under 40 who called this helpline shows that.

    Two, the fact that this helpline was completely anonymous, and that most of the callers were men, would indicate that the stigma surrounding men asking for help is still alive and well, in India, and I would guess many other places as well. But, give them a way for them to discuss it anonymously, and they’ll be on it.

    So how do we address that stigma so men don’t have to find an anonymous helpline and can talk about mental health issues among family, friends, and therapists.
