Trauma Coach Nate Postlethwait on Religious Trauma & Inner Child Work Pure Curiosity with Iris McAlpin

In this episode of Pure Curiosity I speak with trauma coach and survivor Nate Postlethwait about his experience with religious trauma, and his recovery from the abuses he experienced in childhood. After disclosing his experiences of sexual abuse, Nate was told he needed to repent and was pushed into conversion therapy, where he was forbidden to discuss important aspects of his trauma and identity for many years. Over time, Nate realized he needed a very different kind of support for his recovery, and eventually found his way to inner child work. This is a very candid and powerful conversation about the traumatic underbelly of religious fundamentalism, and finding healing on your own terms.
