Phil Goldstein shares his perspective and poetry

Author: Molly Coeling March 29, 2022 Duration: 1:19:07

"I like to think that I grew up in a relatively progressive area of the country… but I definitely, by osmosis, absorbed the cultural expectations and ideas of what a man is and should be, and it was definitely not somebody who'd been sexually abused or taken advantage of. And I think that was another factor inhibiting me from talking about it - just not wanting to deal with the consequent shame and humiliation that I'm sure would have come."

 

Phil is a poet, journalist, and content marketer whose debut poetry collection, How to Bury a Boy at Sea, will be published by Stillhouse Press on April 5th, 2022 and is available for pre-order (see his website or direct link below). His poetry has been nominated for a Best of the Net award and has appeared in or is forthcoming in The Laurel Review, Rust + Moth, Two Peach, 2River View, Awakened Voices, The Indianapolis Review and elsewhere. He currently lives in Alexandria, Va., with his wife, Jenny, and their animals: a dog named Brenna, and two cats, Grady and Princess.

Hosted by Molly Coeling, Beyond MeToo: Healing the Wounds of Sexual Trauma moves the essential conversation from public reckoning to personal restoration. This space is dedicated to the often quiet, ongoing work that follows speaking out-the complex journey toward wholeness. Each episode explores practical pathways for healing, considering both the inner landscape of recovery and the outer systems that impact it. You’ll hear candid discussions that frame healing as an active, multifaceted process, integrating perspectives from somatic practices, mental wellness, and community care. The podcast serves as a companion for those navigating their own path, offering not just solace but tangible frameworks for resilience. It’s a collection of shared stories that highlight strength in vulnerability, emphasizing that recovery is not a linear destination but a series of deliberate, courageous steps. By focusing on the ‘what comes next,’ this series builds a bridge from trauma to a renewed sense of self, acknowledging the physical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of the experience. Tune in for a thoughtful, grounded dialogue that honors the hard work of healing while exploring actionable alternatives for moving forward, individually and together.
