This week, Lyn talks to life coach, Seth Katz about healing from abuse, including the journey Seth himself took in order to overcome his own trauma, and how he now helps others to do the same. KEY TAKEAWAYS When it comes to healing, the first step is to admit that pain has been caused. This can be difficult, especially for many men, because they want to be perceived as strong, and in their mind they may feel it's weak to talk about how any past abuse has affected them. The after-effects of abuse manifest themselves in many ways, including self harm, addictions, unhealthy relationships and exuding negative personality traits. We may not know it at the time, but the wounds can run far deeper than we think. Left unchecked abuse can cling on to the darker corners of our souls and affect each moment of every day whether we realise it or not. Reaching out for help & support is the road to healing and discovering more about ourselves, and also provides the insights and techniques for removing any guilt, shame and blame being harboured inside us. BEST MOMENTS 'Nowadays men are talking more and sharing their experiences more' 'It's healthy to express and show that side' 'I thought maybe this is having a greater effect on me than I thought' 'Subconsciously, we're walking around with dents, marks and holes' VALUABLE RESOURCES Hearts Entwined Podcast Apple Podcasts (iTunes) Spotify Stitcher  ABOUT THE GUEST Seth Katz Seth was sexually abused as child at the age of 10 years old it really affected his self-esteem and how he valued himself which led on to a life of failed relationships, destructive self-soothing behaviours and anxieties.
