When Nathan Spiteri was 8 years old his life changed forever. 

Nathan was a happy kid from a good family but an event at his local swimming pool on a hot summers afternoon changed Nathan’s life forever. Attacked by a pedophile, this one sickening event turned into manipulation, brainwashing and Stockholm syndrome that lasted for five years. Nathan’s eight year old self believed the lies and manipulation.  He became very detached from family and friends, very quiet and solitary and more and more attached to his abuser.

For many years Nathan never told a soul and kept everything deeply hidden as his life spiralled out of control and into drugs, alcohol and other destructive behaviours.

Nathan has written a memoir called Toy Cars.  You can purchase your copy here https://amzn.to/3Px91z5

The statistics for child sexual abuse are terrifying and Nathan has been working for years now to get himself to a place where he can use his story to educate and inform others, and bring about much needed change.

Abusive parents

There was so much abuse in Sean's family from a father who had suffered terrible abuse himself.  Sean never felt any love from his father, only abuse, anger, rejection. But regardless of the abuse, Sean was able to find love. His older sister became the loving leader of the family and his older brother-in-law took Sean under his wing and showed him love and care like he'd never experienced before. His brothers and sisters learnt to band together and support each other when their parents were unable to. In this quick chat episode Sean explains how that the love that came from people other than his own parents, literally saved his life.

What is trauma?

Dr Reshie Joseph seemingly had it all before his life fell to pieces. Reshie grew up in England.  He had an upper middle class upbringing, attended the best schools and universities.  He graduated medical school and was essentially living an incredible life. But within nine years of graduating, Reshie was living as a street junkie in a London bus shelter...how does that even happen?

That’s the exact question Reshie asked himself, once he got sober and drug free. Reshie couldn’t understand how he found himself in such a downward spiral, and he started looking for answers.  It wasn’t until Reshie uncovered research around the connection between childhood trauma, addiction and other behaviours that he really began to understand his own story.

Dr Reshie Joseph has just released his incredible new book A Beginner's Guide to Trauma.  It is everything you need to know about trauma in simple terms.  You can purchase your copy here https://amzn.to/3FDsWaL

Dr Reshie Joseph is sharing some incredible insights into trauma and I can guarantee you will learn things about trauma you have never heard before.

What is a covert narcissist?

PANIC AWAY ACCESS HERE https://af3924jj23i46gadigvxkmhl98.hop.clickbank.net

This quick chat with Mother Wound Coach Michaila Tyson gives us a little window into growing up with a covert narcissist. If you’ve ever struggled with someone in your life and it’s just been confusing and different to any other relationship and you can’t quite put your finger on what’s going on or why and you feel like you are living in a parallel universe, you may be dealing with a covert narcissist. This narcissist type is not big, loud and confident. They are very low key and yet highly manipulative all at the same time. You may receive microscopic doses of love and then as soon as you see the love, and as soon as you begin to lean into the love, it's taken away again and it’s just living in a state of confusion.

Melissa was born to parents who ran, what Melissa now understands, was a fundamentalist christian cult. The rules were so extreme that from three years of age Melissa believed her heart was black, she was a sinner, she was broken and evil and if she begged god to save her, he would wash her clean and take her to heaven. As a woman her purpose was to have as many babies as possible.  Her position as a woman was at the bottom of the food chain. But one day Melissa saw a tiny crack of light from the outside world and she started asking questions. This is a journey from complete and utter control to incredible freedom and Melissa is now helping women, just like you, to live the next stage of their lives empowered and free.

How do you somatically heal?

PANIC AWAY ACCESS HERE https://af3924jj23i46gadigvxkmhl98.hop.clickbank.net

Tracy had a mother who was absent, physically and emotionally.  Her mother didn't connect with her, even as a tiny baby.  As a kid, Tracy's mother never questioned where she was or what she was doing.  She just didn't care.  And the trauma from those experiences made Tracy very sick.  Over many years Tracy tried everything to get better.  It wasn't until Tracy found somatic experiencing therapy that she was able to heal.  Somatic experiencing is healing trauma through the body, as opposed to talk therapy which is healing via the brain.  This quick episode is an insight into the power of somatic healing work.

How to overcome trauma with Michael Unbroken

PANIC AWAY ACCESS HERE https://af3924jj23i46gadigvxkmhl98.hop.clickbank.net

Michael was born into deeply entrenched generational trauma.  Whilst carrying Michael in her womb, his mother was doing drugs and alcohol.  There was domestic abuse, violence and poverty and Michael was basically on his own, fighting to survive for as long as he can remember.

Michael hit rock bottom after rock bottom. But something within him made him FIGHT.  He decided he would not be a victim.  And that decision has taken him from complete hopelessness to a life of passion and purpose.  He is now creating community for survivors, writing books, producing a podcast, coaching, speaking to some of the most incredible humans on the planet, and living life fully on his own terms. Michael wants to make a difference and his goal is to end generational trauma in his lifetime.

Michael decided he would not live the life his ancestors carved out for him. And he is creating the life he knows he deserves.

The psychological effects of controlling parents.

What happens when your entire world is controlled?  Micah grew up in a very controlled, religious environment. Church was three times a week. Discipline was militant in style and there were so many rules and beliefs that Micah had begun obsessively washing her hands by the age of 5. Later she developed an eating disorder and flip flopped between dissociation and hypervigilance.  This is an insight into the trauma of a father passed down to his daughter as she fought for control over every aspect of her being.

Micah is a Trauma Midwife and a Psychedelic Guide & Integration Specialist.  You can find her at https://www.instagram.com/micahsugarfoot/ and her website http://www.micahstoverconsulting.com/micah-story
