    157 - Unpacking Abandonment Issues: From Trauma to Triumph w/ Peter Yelton

    157 - Unpacking Abandonment Issues: From Trauma to Triumph w/ Peter Yelton

    Born in a bathroom stall at a NYC movie theater, Peter Yelton’s mother vanished without a trace within the first minutes of his life. And so begins a lifetime of abandonment trauma…
    Adopted into a family ill-prepared for parenthood, his father's struggle with alcoholism only deepened his wounds. Peter’s denial about being gay would be the fuel to his own alcoholism before finally finding sobriety in his 30s.
    A failed relationship in his second year of sobriety caused Peter's abandonment trauma to surface, serving as the catalyst for embarking on a journey to heal the unresolved wounds from his childhood.
    His decades of personal healing, professional experience as a therapist, and work with abandonment trauma expert Susan Anderson provide unparalleled wisdom for anyone suffering from complex trauma from their childhood.

Trauma education gold!

I have been listing for about 6 months now and I can’t say enough good things about this show. I am in the mental health field and have been so impressed with the professionals interviewed and the content presented. This show has helped me in my own healing journey from family dysfunction and complex trauma.
