OBDI Podcast
OBDI Watch & Listen
Conversations for the parts of healing we rarely say out loud.
A curated space for OBDI’s videos on male survivorhood, childhood sexual trauma, family, culture, shame, resilience, and support. Watch what feels useful today, and come back when you are ready.
Iyanla: Fix My Life
A gentle place to begin watching, reflecting, and making sense of the conversation.
These videos offer a softer entry into topics like disclosure, shame, family, support, and healing. They are here for visitors who may need language, understanding, or simply a quiet first step.
Part 1: Opening the Conversation
A gentle entry point for visitors who may need language for pain, resilience, and the first steps toward being heard.
Part 2: Support Without Shame
A reflective video on openness, support, and what can shift when someone finally feels safe enough to speak.
Part 3: Safe Spaces and Storytelling
A reminder that healing often needs room, patience, and people who can listen without rushing the story.
Part 4: Breaking Silence With Care
A continued conversation about truth, stigma, and the support survivors deserve when they begin to speak.

Live Chat Season II: Jason Hunter
O’Brien Dennis speaks with Jason Hunter about childhood sexual abuse, survival, and the long, human work of healing.

Conversation: Live Chat 4
O’Brien Dennis speaks with Jamaican-born survivor Chad Bailey about male sexual abuse, healing, and living between Jamaica and the United States.
For many men, hearing another survivor speak can be the first moment their own story feels less alone.
These conversations may bring up memory, recognition, or emotion. Let this page be a place to listen gently, pause when needed, and return when you feel ready.
How to watch
Watch in the way that feels safest.
You do not need to watch these videos in order. You can start with one conversation, stop midway, or return another day. Your comfort and choice matter here.
Choose your setting
Watch somewhere you feel grounded. Keep water nearby, lower the volume, pause often, or watch with someone you trust.
Let your response be valid
You may feel moved, numb, unsettled, seen, or unsure. There is no right reaction. Take the time you need.
Need support after watching?
If something in these conversations stays with you, you do not have to hold it alone.
Reach out to a trusted person, therapist, advocate, or survivor support organisation. Support can begin with one message, one call, or one honest conversation.
