Jeremy Sachs joins me to explore how identity, masculinity, and shame shape male survivors' healing — and what therapists need to know.In this episode of Good Enough Counsellors, I'm speaking with therapist and author Jeremy Sachs about his upcoming book, An Intersectional Guide for Male Survivors of Sexual Abuse and their Allies: Masculinity Reconnected (Routledge, July 2025).Drawing on years of experience running recovery groups for men, boys, and trans survivors, Jeremy brings a deeply compassionate and intersectional lens to a subject often left in the shadows.We talk about how myths about masculinity, cultural shame, and systemic failure can all affect whether survivors seek help — and how they experience it. Jeremy also shares practical reflections for therapists and allies who want to work more effectively with male clients.⚠️ Content warning: This episode includes discussion of sexual abuse, trauma, and the failings of healthcare and justice systems. Please listen with care.Takeaways:Why Jeremy wrote this book — and how male survivors shaped each chapterWhat we mean by masculinity, and how cultural expectations harm survivorsThe role of shame, silence, and developmental trauma in male experiencesHow Black men and trans men may face unique stigma and barriers to careWhat “intersectionality” looks like in real therapeutic workWhy disclosure is complex — and how therapists can respond with empathyThe idea of “sexual selves” and how Western norms disconnect men from their bodiesWhat transformative justice is — and why some survivors seek it outside systemsThe essential role of allyship and community in recoveryYou can find Jeremy and order his book here: https://jeremysachs.comSetting up in private practice?

Sharon opens up about imposter syndrome, trusting her gut, and how her values help her navigate big decisions.

Katrina Johnson candidly shares her journey into private practice and how she overcame her fears to set up and promote her practice. She and Josephine talk about how important it is to embrace vulnerability and take those first steps, even when moving into private practice feels uncertain and a bit scary. As Katrina shares how she built her client base through social media and word-of-mouth, we get a real look at what works when it comes to attracting clients in a way that feels natural. This episode is a reminder that perseverance and self-belief can make all the difference, even when doubts creep in - encouraging other therapists to take the leap into private practice with confidence.Takeaways: Fear of not being good enough held Katrina back but she discovered those fears were unfounded Katrina has been consistent on social media and successfully attracted clients. A significant aspect of her success has been the willingness to share personal experiences, including her journey through pregnancy loss, which resonated with clients and fostered a sense of connection. Katrina emphasised the importance of setting boundaries in her practice, particularly as the Mum of young children. This allows her to maintain a balance between work and family life, which is crucial for her well-being. Finally, Katrina reflects on how overcoming fear and embracing opportunities, stepping outside her comfort zones, has helped her professional growth.

Are you a collector? Do you have a passion for dishes, or linens or something else? Let's talk about how to collect without becoming a hoarder. What are the do's and don'ts of collecting?First, try to curate your collections so that you just have your favorite pieces, the best of the best. You don't need a hundred items to make it a curated collection. Next try to do a write up on the items for future generations. Why are you collecting the items? What is their importance to you or your family? Make a note of anything of a large monetary value so your family will know. If you suspect your collection is worth a lot of money, have it appraised, then consider securing a rider on your insurance policy for the items, so they will be covered in case of loss.We also encourage people to display their items and if possible, use them. I collect dishes, and I try to use them often. Boxing things and putting them in the attic is not a good way to enjoy them.We are a part of the Amazon affiliate program, and if you make a purchase we can earn money.

Brown paper packages wrapped up with string. These are a few of my favorite things. We both agree simpler is better for wrapping gifts. We suggest using kraft paper or plain white wrapping paper with bakers twine or a simple ribbon bow. If you want more color, go with a simple two color paper, or go with tone on tone.
