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.https://www.peteryeltonlcsw.comEP 47 - Abandonment Trauma w/ Susan AndersonEP 97 - The Outer Child & Abandonment Trauma w/ Susan Anderson⬇️DAMN THE JOIN SHITSHOW - ADULT CHILD HEALING COMMUNITY⬇️https://theshitshow.mn.co4 weekly zoom support groups (Sun 3: 30 pm EST, Mon 8:30 pm EST, Tues 1 pm EST, & Thurs 8:30 pm EST)Support community at your fingertips with discussion boards and chatSIGN UP FOR SHITSHOW NATION - ADULT CHILD NEWSLETTER👩HELP A GIRL & CAT EAT🐱  www.buymeacoffee.com/adultchild🛍️SHITSHOW MERCH🛍️www.adultchildpodcast.com/shop🎙️NEW TO THE POD🎙️How I learned I was an Adult Child - The Tale of 2 BriansTHE LAUNDRY LIST - Common Characteristics of an Adult ChildFollow Andrea on socialwww.instagram.com/adultchildpodwww.tiktok.com/@adultchildpodhttps://www.youtube.com/@adultchildpodMid-roll music source https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUVEFkjqiEE (I do not own the rights of song - for entertainment purposes only, no monetization)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!Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
