Episode 91 - ”Men Overcoming Trauma” - Conversation with Lindsay Berman

 My name is Lindsay Berman, I am a proud husband, a father, and also an educator, trauma/relationship coach and counsellor.

I have been a social worker on and off for the last 14 years and I have been coaching for the last 3 years.

One of the reasons I became a trauma coach was from the personal trauma (s) I have had to work through on my own.  As a result of this inner work, I also came to realize I did not have a great relationship with myself and that was something I really wanted to change.  I was a very lost and scattered child, I left high school at 15 and essentially did my own thing for the next 20 years, travelling, working a variety of jobs and running from everything that I knew I needed to face.

Working through trauma is not an easy undertaking. I believe as one mentor shared many years ago, it is like going into the swamp. You must go in and deal with your own stuff, you cannot bypass, go over, go under or go around. As for relationships, we can only have healthy relationships with others when we have a healthy relationship with ourselves.  There is no shortcut to true healing, one must put in the work.
