EP. 46: The Identities We Adapted to Defend Against Shame

December 7, 2023

This week’s guest is Nathan Serrato (they/he). Nathan is a Trauma Informed Yoga and Breathwork Instructor, and  PCC Certified Life coach. Nathan helps queer folks overcome and heal from shame and religious trauma. In this conversation, Nathan and I chatted about so many aspects under the greater umbrella of queer healing, including:

  • the various identities and roles our younger selves learned to take on to maintain value in response to internalized shame.

  • the different ways internalized shame can show up in our unconscious patterns of behavior and ways of being

  • how we have come to internalize beliefs about success

  • how healing is a combination of both intentional healing work and simply living our lives,

  • the potential trickiness of over-identifying with our traumas.

  • sobriety and substance use within the queer community

  • and more!

I so loved getting time with Nathan, and am excited to invite you into the conversation.
