Your Whole Baby sponsors a virtual support group for men harmed by genital cutting. The group meets twice a month via Zoom video conferencing. The first meeting each month is a peer support group. Dr. Ron Goldman, psychologist and author of “Circumcision: The Hidden Trauma” and “Questioning Circumcision: A Jewish Perspective,” leads the discussion during the second meeting.
Each session is 90 minutes in length with 6 to 8 participants. During the meeting, participants are encouraged to share reasons for attending, ask questions, describe prior relevant communications with their parents, partners, friends, and/or counselors, and offer supportive responses to other attendees. Participants are also able to express emotions in a safe and supportive setting, explore individual difficulties and resistances to healing, and discuss strategies for moving forward.
You can learn more about Dr. Ron Goldman on the Resources for Circumcision Trauma & Regret page.
