Join us for a deeply insightful and compassionate conversation with Dr. Kelli Palfy, a registered psychologist and former RCMP officer, whose acclaimed book Men Too: Unspoken Truths About Male Sexual Abuse sheds light on a subject seldom discussed. Dr. Palfy brings her expertise to this episode, illuminating the complex landscape of trauma experienced by male survivors—ranging from mental health struggles like depression, PTSD, shame, and self-blame, to the societal and cultural forces that often silence and stigmatize them
Drawing on personal narratives, research, and therapeutic insights, she unpacks how traditional ideals of masculinity—such as stoicism or being “the protector”—can inhibit disclosure and healing. She also offers hopeful, actionable pathways toward resilience and recovery, underscoring the importance of validation, supportive relationships, and safe spaces for healing
