S4E55 | Jon Uhler LPC - Sexual Psychopathy: How Men Become Violent Predators & Sadistic Perpetrators

I am thrilled to have back on - our feature presenter for our Tuesday Night weekly podcast event: Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, Certified Sex Offender Treatment Provider, Licensed Professional Counselor, Founder of Survivor Support, Podcast host of own podcast and channel @JonKUhlerLPC and @UnMaskingTheTransMovement on YouTube, father of 3, husband to his high school sweetheart, survivor advocate, professional knapsack remover, and someone I’m grateful to have on the battlefield with us: Jon Uhler.

In case you are new here or missed Jon’s briefing on his background on the first episode we did together, here is a short recap of Jon’s many accolades and credentials: Jon’s work began over 30 years ago, and the evolution of his career path is nothing short of astonishing. His education includes attending Epic Bible College, Biola University, Talbot School of Theology, and California State University and Fullerton. He’s worked in both clinical and administrative capacities, outpatient and hospital settings, intensive day treatment settings, residential treatment programs, and in secure (locked) facilities - including over 11 years on Psychology Staff within the Pennsylvania Dept. of Corrections where he’s logged more clinical contact hours within Solitary Confinement than any Psych Staff in the entire US. Prior to his work with incarcerated men, he spent years working with sexual abuse Survivors, and treating Severely Emotionally Disturbed adolescents in group homes and within the largest intensive psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility for troubled youth west of the Mississippi.

When Jon is not providing professional therapy or podcasting, he serves in an advocacy role, toward helping increase safety for vulnerable women and minors, who are being placed in harm's way by those pushing dangerous ideologies, public policies, and legislation.

I hope those of you listening have been following along because this has been one jam-packed series we’ve been doing! Jon and I have been doing an on-going series of episodes aimed at helping you - dear listener - understand the inner workings of a survivor’s system and all of its moving parts. This is an evolving series of new information every episode to help break-down the ins and outs of therapy from a therapists perspective to help those of you on the other side of the screen know what to expect from a good therapist if you are someone who is healing from extreme childhood trauma, as well as to function as a tool for all of you survivors and advocates watching who are new to learning about systems and parts in order to gain a better understanding of some things you probably weren’t taught in formal education. Jon has been giving us a thorough presentation on all the different layers of programming. dissociation, and systems and parts - as well as answering your questions about journaling, triggers, boundaries, psychopathy, holding and removing boulders and knapsacks, and even some fun role play for us to consider what living with DID may be like. I have personally gained so much insight from Jon’s teachings and from the comments and feedback we’ve gotten - so have you! This series has been so eye opening and important as there are not many in Jon’s field who are aware of this information - much less speaking out. I ask that you all give Jon your full attention as he takes us on a journey of self-discovery through clinical science and experience Jon has garnered simply because he had the courage to care. They say ‘not all heroes wear capes’, and nothing could be truer of Jon!
