"It Happens to Boys": Abused Men Are Still Minimized and Marginalized

Carol Teitelbaum is a Marriage & Family Therapist and has been a licensed Therapist since 1985. Carol comes on the show to talk about abuse that has happened to our young boys and how this problem is still minimized in today's society. She shares some common myths people have about men and abuse and how there's a deep silence in the community for these men. She discusses the upcoming "It Happens to Boys" conference.

QUOTES:

"People still think boys can't be abused."
"Men who do not just get over it. Men who don't get help or start their healing process, they rage because of all the emotions that they tucked away."
"I've heard men say, "If you really knew who I was, you'd think I'm disgusting." It's because they've been abused."
