U Mad Bro? | Men's Coach Sean Hotchkiss on Anger, Trauma, and Healing

According to Men's Coach and Somatic Practitioner Sean Hotchkiss, everyone carries traumatic experiences with them from when they were young. These can be major emotional traumas like the divorce of your parents, or they can be micro traumas... but when they are left unresolved, they can shape who we are as adults (and parents), how we navigate life, and how we relate to others. In this episode honoring Mental Health Awareness Month, Sean Hotchkiss joins the conversation to discuss the real value of expressing anger and the benefits of unpacking our traumas of the past, all the way down to a cellular level.

Episode 106 of Modern Dadhood, Adam and Marc open the show by welcoming new listeners, and giving shout-outs to Hark Audio, where Adam recently created his first Harklist, and Pocket Casts for generously highlighting Modern Dadhood in the Kids & Family category. The guys acknowledge Mental Health Awareness Month and introduce the guest into the conversation. Sean Hotchkiss is a Men's Coach, Somatic Practitioner, and Embodiment Guide. He works with men (many of whom are dads) to uncover and process traumas of their past. The conversation gets deep, covering topics like:

•  What it means to be a somatic practitioner and embodiment guide
•  What inspired Sean to transition from fashion writing to coaching
•  What are the most common sources of trauma for men?
•  How are repressed traumatic experiences accessed and processed?
•  Who can benefit from this kind of coaching?
•  And more!

Marc rounds out the episode with a quick installment of Did I Just Say That Out Loud?
