Emma-Jane Taylor hosts a powerful and emotional episode of 'UK Health Radio Podcast', titled '...the continued Silence'. This episode focuses on the challenging and often overlooked topic of child sexual abuse (CSA), especially among boys. Emma-Jane is joined by Chris Tuck, a regular activist on the show, and Dr. Kelly Palfrey, a psychologist and former Royal Canadian Mounted Police Officer, who brings her expertise on male survivors of CSA to the discussion.
Together, they shine a light on the silent struggles many boys face and why they often don't come forward with their stories. Dr. Kelly Palfrey shares her journey from law enforcement to psychology, explaining how she recognised the need for more support for male survivors. She discusses the societal pressures that prevent boys from speaking out, such as the fear of burdening their parents or the misconception that their experiences aren't significant.
Her insights are backed by her doctoral research, which delves into the reasons boys stay silent and the long-term impacts of untreated trauma. The conversation also touches on the complexities of grooming, the confusion boys feel when abused by someone they trust, and the societal stigma that hinders their ability to seek help. Chris Tuck adds her perspective, emphasising the importance of protecting children and preventing them from becoming future perpetrators or victims.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the intricacies of CSA and the unique challenges faced by male survivors. It's an eye-opening discussion that encourages empathy, awareness, and action. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding and learn how you can be part of the solution.
