Podcast: Spotlighting Secret Shame with Dr. Doug Carpenter

Sexual abuse is the secret shame that lies deep within. Men hold on to this secret shame for an average of 25 years before they disclose the hurt and pain they have endured and carried from sexual abuse perpetrated by another male.

The disruption of this phase creates a stirring of sexual curiosity and desire awakened before its time.
