Episode Overview
Welcome to the Sexology Podcast! Today I am joined by Robert Cox. Robert is a therapist who specializes in trauma, addiction and autism. His private practice is based in the Kansas City area.
I have found myself feeling incredibly sick of hearing the same narrative of abuse and trauma, for men and women, in the news. There are abusers of all kinds, people we know and people who are very different from us. This made me curious about how we got to this place. Robert wrote a piece in the Huffington Post related to this topic. I’ve asked Robert to be on the show today to talk about how we got here and what we can do to change things going forward.
Throughout this episodes we talk about the culture we are creating, how we’ve gotten here and how we can change the negative, sexual assault culture that has become our normal. We dive into how we can combat objectification of men and women, the impact of buying into the myth we aren’t broken and how we can take accountability and ask why.
