Sharing – Working with Male Survivors: When Reaching Male Survivors, Consider Your Program’s Name
Here’s what I want you to consider. As a victim of sexual abuse, who identifies as male, I go in assuming that most of the resources available are going to be targeted to women. Because, in many cases, they are only available for women. So, if your organization doesn’t make it clear that you serve everyone, with clear examples, and promotion, many male victims may not ever reach out to you.
Review: Holby City – Walk The Line (2011, UK)

Link – Men with the worst depression might also be the least likely to seek help
This is only a small study, but I am not surprised by the findings. “Psychology researchers in Australia conducted a longitudinal study of 125 Australian men (ages 18 to 67). They found that many men did not consider experiencing depression for 15 weeks as enough of a reason to seek help. These men reported more…
Reading – Shame
“Shame caused by sexual abuse does not pass that easily. Upon that original shame we build years of additional shame, locking it into that closet in our minds, until the burden becomes unbearable. Trying to live a healthy life while you are buried in shame is impossible. That shame is the infection that needs to…

Psychotherapy Works
Psychotherapy Works Is Still News to Many In the U.S., consumers are constantly bombarded with pharmaceutical advertising describing the many benefits of different psychiatric medications (Depression hurts.

what I am passionate about , helping survivors heal and ending the sexual abuse to children ……………………….I think a women president will help more then any sex offending male president and history has proved the men will use interns sexually and cover it up how can a person in authority really help end abuse when he is an abuser ? well of course he can’t ………..if Hillary runs for office I will vote for her………………..
Personally, as a man, I find your logic to be incredibly sexist. To think that any man is automatically an abuser and to vote for a woman regardless of her own record just because she is a woman is the worst kind of stereotype. The fact is that abusers come from all walks of life and both sexes.
I am basing my post on the past history of the US presidents , so many books are available for us to read and really the men in office have been sex offenders , try reading ONCE UPON A SECRET BY MIMI ALFORD , this story really was the trigger that caused me to think even more like I am …..after you read it please let me know whet you think………….
