Men Need to Be Heard Show (Ep:31) Helping Men Deal With The Trauma of Sexual Abuse w/ Phil Mitchell

A topic that often creates a firestorm whenever it's brought up is the discussion of male victims of sexual and other forms of abuse.

The sad truth is there actually isn't much discussion causing male victims to remain hidden and indeed ignored by society. Even when they do come forward they're often mocked, ridiculed, dismissed and as we discuss during the show neglected.

My guest is Phil Mitchell who is a Male Sexual Abuse Specialist and who has worked with male victims for almost 20 years.

Phil works tirelessly to raise awareness of the plight of male victims and recently released a book entitled: "The Sexual Abuse of Boys and Men: Creating an Approach for Neglected Victims" which is available on both Paperback and Kindle via Amazon: https://amzn.to/3LKo7jY

Among the topics we cover are:
• The prevalence of Sexual Abuse of Men and how difficult it is to ascertain just how large the problem is as so many men are reluctant to come forward
• The difficulties men and in particular teenage boys who are victims face on today's society and how they try to cope with their trauma often through unhealthy means.
• The historical context of how psychology has had difficulty working with male victims and how often the approach taken works against them.
• The issues faced trying to get governmental bodies to recognize the issue and make programs and funding available to help male victims
& More

Phil also shares some thoughts on how he works with male victims and the successes he’s had in doing so.
