Gosh, my first post on BlueSky! Hi folks. Hereโ€™s some training Iโ€™m doing on Monday 18th Nov @ 6pm on male survivors of sexual abuse. Includes intersectional barriers, shame and male perspectives on victimhood.

Pay what you can tix and lots of audio testimonies to hear survivors in their own words.

I think that many practitioners see pluralism as a useful philosophy to understand that making it right for clients involves accepting that therapist beliefs are not always met in the client, so helping on their terms is a good idea..
