49 - When Trauma Surfaces w/ Nate Postlethwait

Nate Postlethwait - writer, survivor, & inner child recovery advocate - joins us today to discuss complex trauma. Nate walked away from his 13-year career in 2018 to take a break and reset. A couple of years prior he had two big life-changing events. In 2016 he came out as gay after many years of conversion therapy and the next year he turned 40. Both collided and launched the internal courage to make some changes in order to rebuild a life with more pleasure. Nate grew up experiencing childhood abuse starting at 5 years old. He began therapy at 18 years old and has been a life learner of all things trauma recovery. He began sharing his story on social media and that community quickly grew to over 100k people. His long-term goals are to aid in making trauma-informed therapy accessible for those who cannot afford it. In the meantime, he is a writer, a coach and leads others in finding a connection with their inner child.https://natewrites.cominstagram.com/nate_postlethwaitSupport the Podcast -https://www.patreon.com/adultchildwww.buymeacoffee.com/adultchildFollow Andrea on social -www.instagram.com/adultchildpodwww.tiktok.com/@adultchildpodMid-roll music source  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-Vjds-QRJM (I do not own the rights of song - for entertainment purposes only, no monetization)Support the show Our Sponsors: * Check out Sunbasket: https://sunbasket.com/ADULTCHILD * Get 15% off on your entire first order at happymammoth.com with code ADULTCHILD at checkout!
