Episode Male Survivors of Sexual Abuse: Shame, Masculinity, Disclosure & Healing in Therapy with Doriel Jacov

0:00 1:25:15

Doriel Jacov joins Dr. Puder to explore the often-overlooked struggles of male survivors of sexual abuse. With one in six males experiencing childhood sexual abuse before age 18, Jacov unpacks the profound impact of shame, masculinity norms, disclosure barriers, and identity fractures that make healing uniquely challenging for men. The conversation covers grooming, power imbalances, coercion, the myth that survivors become abusers, arousal and body betrayal, sexual identity confusion, trauma reenactment, and the complex transference dynamics that arise in therapy, including erotic transference and projective identification.
