Healing Trauma Through Humor with Stand-Up Comedian and Podcaster - Sebastian Scales
**TRIGGER WARNING** for child abuse/sexual trauma in today's episode.
Today we welcome Sebastian Scales to the podcast. Sebastian’s work centers around destigmatizing conversations about traumatic experiences. He is the Founder and President of What Happened to You? foundation, which provides resources to survivors of trauma so they can feel comfortable sharing their stories. In addition, he hosts the What Happened to You? podcast, which normalizes taboo conversation through the use of humor.
In this episode, Sebastian shares with us that he was molested as a child. His journey to uncover his trauma and suppressed emotions started with a stage and a microphone. He entered the world of stand-up comedy, and through humor he found that he could share his story in a way that didn’t feel uncomfortable. In fact, it opened up a conversation between strangers and ultimately led to Sebastian seeking therapy. Sebastian is changing the way we approach taboo conversation, and it begins with unconditional open dialogue.
