Corey Laine Hilton is a well-respected Canadian author and introspective influencer on the subject of self-worth. He has entertained thousands of clients internationally, spanning a 25-year career in the male exotic dance industry, unknowingly laying the groundwork for his raw, mission-driven message through a unique and colourful perspective. Utilizing his life experience and having dedicated extensive time researching self-worth, he is widely regarded by men over thirty who suffer from blocks related to unworthiness, egotism, and lack of emotional expression. As a men’s mental health advocate, Corey challenges the stereotypical definition of Man Enough. His insights have been shared and viewed on multiple social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and guest podcast appearances, focusing on mental health, spirituality, authenticity, and personal growth. As an influencer, he provides an unscripted, unapologetic viewpoint, motivating men to overcome embedded subconscious blocks. Corey utilizes unique perspectives through his Naked Truths based on his core values determined through his journey of self-discovery. Using vulnerability, he exposes his struggle between his authentic self and his onstage alter-ego in a foregone industry. This, in turn, provides his audience with a realistic view of what it was like being on the other side of the Velvet Rope.

His Book:

Take It Off –-Revelations of a Male Exotic Dancer is a unique and colourful biography of Corey Laine Hilton’s 25-year journey in the male exotic dance industry which brought him to the top of his industry in Canada and merges into his transition to a new world of dancing in the US. He reveals unknown truths about what it took to be an entertainer in Canada and the reality under the spotlight in the Southern US at one of the largest nightclubs in North America without political correctness or ideology. This is his raw truth based on his ten core values and how he  overcame his self- worth struggle through introspection and authenticity which liberated him by taking off the layers long after he chose to put his clothes back on.

LPC Chris and Felipe Blue, LCAS, CSI discuss mental health and relationships. 

Mental health problems such as depression and anxiety can influence whether someone feels able to interact and connect to others. This means that developing relationships and socializing in traditional ways can be challenging for some people.

Toxic relationships cause feelings of low self-worth, helplessness, fear, anxiety, depression, insecurity, paranoia, and even narcissism. “Toxic relationships are dangerous to your health; they will literally kill you. Stress shortens your lifespan.

Healthy relationships involve honesty, trust, respect and open communication between partners and they take effort and compromise from both people. There is no imbalance of power. Partners respect each other's independence, can make their own decisions without fear of retribution or retaliation, and share decisions.

Felipe Blue, LCAS, CSI interviews...

Dr. Kelli Palfy, began her professional career working in adult and youth corrections. Here she noticed a disproportionate number of males in the prison system. As an RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) officer, she took an interest in investigating sex crimes and went on to specialize in sex crimes committed against children internationally. Here, she began to see that males were victims of sexual abuse too, and that there were very few resources available to them.  She wondered if this was why so many males ended up in prison.  As she combed through video evidence, she witnessed first-hand the grooming tactics commonly used by sophisticated pedophiles.    After leaving the RCMP, Dr. Palfy obtained her Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from the University of Alberta. She wanted to support male victims, and sought to better understand the reasons why males don’t commonly disclose sexual abuse. She is now a trained trauma therapist and public speaker on the topic of male abuse. Dr. Palfy currently runs a small private practice where she works with male survivors of sexual abuse, first responders and couples using Emotion-Focused and Cognitive Behavioral Approach, plus Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).   Male sexual abuse occurs more commonly among infants, youth and adults than was previously suspected. Despite knowing this, disproportionately few males seek support. Many remain silent, protect their families, and cope through isolating or numbing, themselves, misusing substances and engaging in sexual promiscuity or hypermasculinity.    

ME^N TOO: UNSPOKEN TRUTHS ABOUT MALE SEXUAL ABUSE is for male survivors, their supporters and helping professionals. It is a psycho-educational book intended to support and educate the public and male survivors. In this book I discuss the different types of offenders, how they chose and groom their targets and common responses to sexual abuse.  I also provide facts about parental and sibling abuse, and through the stories of 13 male sexual abuse victims I discuss what research shows about why boys and men so seldom seek support. It is written from their perspective, with the wisdom of retired police officer and psychologist, Dr. Kelli Palfy.   Through their narrative accounts, Dr. Palfy offers:  • Male victims - Healing through recognition of both their positions as victims and the impact of their abuse.  • Parents and teachers - Strategies to identify common yet sophisticated predatory grooming tactics, plus ideas on how to better protect children from abusers.  • First responders and helping professionals - information to better recognize the signs of traumatized people, examples of male abuse explaining when it began, how it was maintained and why the victims remained silent for so long.   For the sake of our boys and men, discussions about male sexual abuse need to increase. Male victims need to feel safe asking for support. ME^N TOO highlights the many unique barriers boys and men face as they contemplate their road to recovery.
