S4E63 | Jon Uhler LPC - Male Sadistic Sexual Psychopaths: What Drives Them to Offend?

I’m honored 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, whistleblower, 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 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.

It’s been such a treat to have Jon on the show with us each week and the value he’s provided so far is priceless. If you’ve been tuning in the last few weeks, you’ve seen that we’ve deviated from the conversation around a survivor’s systems and parts and have been doing a deep dive into the mind of sexual deviants and perpetraitors in order to better understand the type of person who would traumatize and abuse a child to begin with. Jon’s incredible insight into healing survivors through his 30+ years of working with sexual abuse and trauma victims mixed with his unparalleled work working in solitary confinement with some of the worlds most sexual deviants makes Jon an force of nature in being able to explain both sides of the story - from both the survivor’s AND the perpetraitors point of view. Jon’s presentations help those of us listening be able to understand two sides of an abuse spectrum that can be so difficult to comprehend if you’re not an abuse survivor, and it’s extremely valuable information in helping survivors claim their power back. If you missed Jon’s past episodes on ‘The Imagination’, I’ll have the show notes below. In previous episodes, you can learn about a survivor’s systems and parts, dissociation and DID, boulders and knapsacks, psychopathy and narcissism, as well as the breakdown of what to look for in a therapist and what therapy should look like from both the survivor’s and therapist’s perspectives. So, grab a pen and paper and expect another episode jam-packed with new information from our favorite therapist representing the survivor community!
