We, of course, know that abuse of any child is wrong, but when boys are sexually abused, it is often not reported. There are a lot of reasons for that. Ill be talking with Dr Kelli Palfy, who got interested in helping men who had been sexually abused as children when she was an investigator with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. We discuss some of the reasons it's not talked about it, how it affects men when they carry the secret and some great organizations where they can find help and healing.
In this episode we discuss :
- How Dr Palfy's careen in Law Enforcement and corrections spurred her interest into helping men who were sexually abused as children.
- Relevant studies demonstrating how much access perpetrators find to children.
- Why the abuse sometimes isn't recognized as abuse to the victims.
- How Secondary Trauma happens
- Are there signs to look for to recognize if a child is being molested.
- How attachment difficulties can arise when a survivor carries their trauma with them alone into adulthood.
- The barriers that men face to seeking help for their trauma.
- How parents can discuss healthy touch with their sons.
- Organizations that can help.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
