03 - Mike’s Story, Part 2A: Healing from Abuse (from the Husband Material Podcast with Drew Boa, 02/22)

Healing for Male Survivors with Mike Chapman

This is the second (part 2A) of a 2-part interview I gave back in January 2022 for the Husband Material Podcast with Drew Boa. With Drew's permission I am sharing the episode with you here since it is a great explanation of my own story (part 1 - last week) and healing journey (part 2A & 2B).

Due to the length of the 2nd part, I am dividing it into 2 podcast episodes.

Original video version of this interview is available online at ⁠PolarLifeConsulting.com/about⁠ (scroll down for the video)

Here is the original description from Drew's Podcast:

************************

What is "normal" for survivors of sexual abuse? And what does healing look like?

Mike Chapman offers validation and wisdom based on years of research and his personal healing journey. Mike Chapman is a survivor of childhood sexual abuse (CSA), trafficking, and sexual assault as an adult by clergy. He is also an incredible man of God, a powerful encourager, and a Certified Husband Material Coach with over 3 years of freedom from porn.

Mike also facilitates a free private group for male survivors of childhood sexual abuse for members of the Husband Material Community (https://www.husbandmaterial.co/). Contact Mike at [e-mail]
