How do you reclaim your voice after 45 years of forced silence? 🕊️
In this deeply moving episode of The Guiding Voice, we are joined by Keeper Catran-Whitney, a pioneering advocate for brothers impacted by child sexual abuse. Keeper shares his raw, personal journey as a survivor and witness, shedding light on the "marginalized trauma" that brothers often face when abuse occurs within a family.
In this episode, you will learn:
✅ The critical difference between Mental Health and Emotional Health for men.
✅ Why brothers' voices are often overlooked in the healing process.
✅ How Keeper overcame "emotional earthquakes" to find self-esteem and worth.
✅ Practical steps for families to ensure every voice is heard during recovery.
✅ The power of vulnerability and why "feeling the fear and doing it anyway" is the path to courage.
Keeper is the author of the transformative book series From Helplessness to Hopefulness to Happiness. His story is a testament to the fact that while trauma may become part of your DNA, it doesn't have to define your future.
