Ep 80: My trauma is my gift with Nick Raeburn

Trauma is a part of many people’s lives, but not many are able to use it to then help others overcome theirs.   My guest in this episode is a very special friend, Nick Raeburn. He only started to work on his own childhood traumas late on in life and it has changed who he is and how he shows up in the world.   He gets raw and talks about his experience being abused by a family member as a child, and the impact this has had on the relationships in his life. He also delves into the ways this has shaped how he works with clients to support them to show up as their real selves.   This one is not to be missed.   “I think about how what I’ve been through helps other people” – Nick Raeburn   You'll hear about:   00:56 - An introduction to Nick 02:37 - How has sexual abuse affected Nick? 06:14 - Why having children changed Nick 08:49 - The reasons Nick shares his story 14:34 - Trapping a monster in a cage 19:40 - What impact has Nick's wife had on his life? 22:54 - What Nick thinks it takes to be a man 27:04 - Nick's advice to men that are struggling        30:13 - The good, bad and ugly of LinkedIn 36:11 - Nick on accessing his 'little boy' energy 39:24 - What scares Nick now? 43:21 - How important is purpose to Nick 48:06 - The impact Nick's parents had on him   Nick’s resources:   LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/thatsocialnerd/ Tik Tok - https://www.tiktok.com/@thatsocialnerd YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@thatsocialnerd That Social Nerd Website - https://zaap.bio/thatsocialnerd   My resources: LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/itschrisoconnell/ Twitter - https://twitter.com/ChrisOConnell11 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/chrisoconnellcoach/ TikTok - https://www.instagram.com/chrisoconnellcoach/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_ZWYrxrzzaElmpZMy5S86w Basemindset website - https://basemindset.com/
