Abandonment is a profound enough trauma to implant an invisible drain deep within the self that works insidiously to siphon off self-esteem from within.
Picture being born in a bathroom stall at a NYC movie theater and immediately abandoned. That’s how Peter Yelton’s life began, setting the stage for a lifetime of abandonment trauma. In this gripping episode of 'Adult Child', Andrea sits down with Peter to unravel his extraordinary story. Adopted into a family unprepared for parenthood, Peter faced more challenges as his father's alcoholism added to his wounds.
Denying his own sexuality further fueled his struggles, leading him down a path of alcoholism before he found sobriety in his 30s. Peter's journey is nothing short of remarkable. A failed relationship in his second year of sobriety brought his abandonment issues to the forefront, pushing him to confront and heal his deep-seated wounds. With decades of personal healing and professional experience as a therapist, Peter offers invaluable wisdom on dealing with complex trauma.
His work with abandonment trauma expert Susan Anderson adds another layer of insight to his story. This episode isn’t just about recounting past pain; it’s about the triumph over trauma. Andrea and Peter’s candid conversation sheds light on the profound impact of unresolved childhood pain and the empowering path to healing. Whether you’re dealing with similar issues or supporting someone who is, Peter’s story is a beacon of hope and resilience.
