Listener discretion is advised.

D.J. talks with Gino, a 50yr old New Yorker, who was abused by his uncle as a kid. Gino talks about the lasting impact the abuse had on him. He held onto his secret until he was 31 years old and married. Gino used online resources and male survivor communities to move through the pain of his past. 

Each episode of Journey On features real life accounts of sexual abuse and assault. You may be triggered by what you hear. I advise self-care tools; reaching out to a friend, seeing your therapist, picking a new time to listen to the show, or even listening with a group of friends. Take care of yourself first.
