Скачать или смотреть Supporting Your Husband: The Unique Challenges of Male CSA Survivors

How can you support your husband if he’s a survivor of childhood sexual abuse?

In this final episode of the series, we unpack one of the most overlooked conversations — how wives can walk alongside their husbands on the healing journey after sexual trauma. Caleb and Verlynda discuss the unique challenges male survivors face, including shame, isolation, and emotional suppression, and how these struggles affect intimacy, communication, and trust within marriage.

We explore how trauma may show up as withdrawal, anger, addiction, or fear of intimacy — and how spouses can respond with compassion, boundaries, and patience. You’ll hear practical advice on creating emotional safety without becoming your partner’s therapist, learning to be a compassionate witness, and finding your own support system as you navigate this together.

This episode offers hope and guidance for couples who want to rebuild connection, heal from the past, and rediscover safety and closeness in their relationship.
