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.comDAMN THE JOIN SHITSHOW - https://theshitshow.mn.co✅ 4 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 chat?HELP A GIRL & CAT EAT?  www.buymeacoffee.com/adultchild?️SHITSHOW MERCH?️ www.adultchildpodcast.com/shop?️NEW TO THE POD?️EP 1 - What's an Adult Child & The Tale of 2 BriansACA Laundry Lists - Common Characteristics of an Adult ChildFollow Adult Child on Social MediaIG @adultchildpodTiktok @adultchildpodYouTube @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 Done and use my code PODCAST for a great deal: www.donefirst.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
