Summary

Nate Postlethwait (Postal-weight) recently left a successful 13-year career in real estate to begin sharing his story of overcoming complex trauma. Nate is 41 years old and has been in therapy for 23 years fighting to make sense of much of what he was experiencing in his mind and body. Nate, and the fact that he’s now sharing his story, and the way that he’s sharing his story, is what this podcast is all about. It’s called courage. First off, a huge thank-you to my sponsors: This episode is sponsored by: PESI (https://bit.ly/2CluAOr) Clinicians have advanced their practice and improved client outcomes with education from PESI’s live and online CE seminars for over 40 years.

Thank you!! Nate Postlethwait’s greatest desire is for others to know and understand the difference between dysfunction and trauma, and where to go to get the appropriate help. He hopes to be a pioneer in the way people perceive male sexual abuse and the process for male victims. He is currently traveling the world for a year while building this platform, and personally putting all the disciplines in place to make self care a top priority. His blog and podcast launched just 2 months ago, and already, have gathered thousands of followers.
