As you know, I thrive to have more male guests on the Podcast and I’m glad that Andrew offered to speak from his personal experience of dealing with grief and trauma in many different situations. He speaks about divorce, both the divorce of his parents as well as his own marriage, the death of both of his parents, and the loss of most of his family and friends as a result of that.
As you will hear in today’s episode, having experienced quite significant early childhood trauma, Andrew knows his boundaries and is clear on what he can talk about and where he prefers not to go deeper, which I’m guessing many of you listeners can relate to. Having clear boundaries is so important, especially dealing with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and the aftermath of a chronically dysregulated nervous system.

Andrew became estranged from his biological father at an early age after the divorce of his parents due to the parents’ abusive relationship, which also led to the estrangement of other members of their extended family. As a young adult, his mother died from cancer and many years later Andrew also lost his stepdad from cancer. Just a few years after that, his own marriage ended in divorce.
