Understanding and growing in healthy masculinity - A discussion with Doug Carpenter (Part 1)

Part 1 of my conversation with Doug Carpenter on the topic of understanding and growing in healthy masculinity. Many men struggle with understanding who they are as men and how they fit in, whether it be a lack of confidence, or perhaps secret shame and insecurity often they struggle with fitting in. For many trauma or abuse plays a role too. In this Podcast Doug and I talk about these topics and his two books that address these issues extensively. In part two we talk about how sexual abuse can impact a mans masculinity and sexual identity (click here for part 2 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-mens-healing-and-recovery/id1593316488?i=1000550085346) Click below to purchase Doug’s books Childhood Trauma and the Non-Alpha Male - Gender Role Conflict, Toxic Shame, and Complex Trauma: Finding Hope, Clarity, Healing, and Change - https://www.amazon.com/dp/1620235986/ref=cm_sw_r_awdo_navT_a_32MXW4J1BDT1PBZDF8F5 Secret Shame: A Survivor's Guide to Understanding Male Sexual Abuse and Male Sexual Development - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09QK1Y7L1/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_Z5P3XVH9SCG8Y0NH7DW2 If there is anything you hear on this podcast and would like to share feedback or to set up a free consultation with me for counseling I can be reached at [email protected].
