NBA Psychologist | Heal Your Hurting Mind, Masculinity, and Sexual Integrity

Published about 2 months ago • 1 min read

I had a fascinating and deep conversation recently with Dr. Wayne Chappelle – sports psychologist for the OKC Thunder, military expert, and co-author of Craig Groeschel's new book Heal Your Hurting Mind.

This isn't your typical leadership podcast. Dr. Chappelle (Dr. C) breaks down:

  • The 7 hidden wounds that wreck high-achieving men (from "zipper" issues to pride and control)
  • Candid truths about sexual integrity in marriage – reframing arousal, masturbation, and emotional connection without shame
  • Why anxiety fuels peak performance, and how trauma forges diamonds
  • His journey helping Craig Groeschel beat burnout and embrace adventure

Whether you're navigating leadership fatigue, marriage challenges, or personal growth, this episode equips you with psychology-backed, faith-infused wisdom to thrive.

Listen and share now: Healing Your Hurting Mind | NBA Psychologist Dr. Wayne Chappelle on Masculinity, Marriage, Masturbation, Mental Health and Thriving Through Trauma Key segment: Skip to 20:42 for the game-changing talk on masculinity and intimacy.
