Understanding and growing in healthy masculinity - A discussion with Doug Carpenter (Part 1‪)‬ Jewish Men’s Healing and Recovery

Part 1 of my conversation with Doug Carpenter on the topic of understanding and growing in healthy masculinity.

Many men struggle with understanding who they are as men and how they fit in, whether it be a lack of confidence, or perhaps secret shame and insecurity often they struggle with fitting in. For many trauma or abuse plays a role too.

In this Podcast Doug and I talk about these topics and his two books that address these issues extensively.

In part two we talk about how sexual abuse can impact a mans masculinity and sexual identity (click here for part 2 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-mens-healing-and-recovery/id1593316488?i=1000550085346)
