1 in 4 men experience sexual violence in their lifetime - yet this reality remains largely invisible in our conversations about masculinity and trauma.

In this video, we examine why 23% of men carry this burden in silence, the unique barriers that prevent male survivors from seeking help, and what we can do as a society to create safer spaces for these conversations.

As a licensed psychotherapist specializing in men's mental health, I'll share insights on:

00:00 – The Quiet Epidemic: 1 in 4 Men
01:08 – Why Men Don’t Talk
02:45 – What Keeps Them Silent
04:25 – How We Break the Silence

If you're a survivor watching this: your experience is valid, you deserve support, and healing is possible.

The American Masculinity Podcast™ is hosted by Timothy Wienecke — licensed psychotherapist, Air Force veteran, and men’s advocate.
Real conversations about masculinity, mental health, growth, and how men can show up better — as partners, leaders, and friends.
We focus on grounded tools, not yelling or clichés. If you have questions or want a tool for something you're wrestling with, leave a comment or send a message — your feedback shapes what we build next.
Note: While this doesn’t replace therapy, it might help you notice something worth exploring.
