In this episode of the podcast "Yo Pude, Tú Puedes," hosts Margarita and Sofía interview journalist, author, and life‑coach Carlos Anaya. Anaya recounts his first sexual abuse at age six in a kindergarten bathroom, where two older boys assaulted him and one inserted an object into his anus. He later endured a seven‑year incestuous abuse by his uncle, who manipulated him mentally to keep the secret. Anaya describes decades of therapy, using the metaphor of "peeling the onion" to uncover emotional wounds such as abandonment, rejection, and the pressure of the immigrant "American Dream" that forced him to stay silent. He traveled to Colombia to confront his uncle, chose to forgive, and emphasizes that holding resentment harms the survivor. The conversation expands to broader themes: the silence of male survivors, cultural taboos around male sexual abuse, myths linking abuse to homosexuality, the importance of recognizing warning signs in children, and the need for parents to listen and act. Anaya also shares his professional background—work at major media outlets, his spiritual‑coaching business "Cafecito Espiritual," and his upcoming book "Lo que callan los hombres," which dedicates a chapter to sexual abuse and incest. Throughout, he offers practical advice, calls for professional help, and stresses that victims are not to blame, encouraging a shift from victimhood to survivorship.
