Episode 13: Flipping the script - trauma, addiction and unlocking potential with Lewis Raymond Taylor
Show Notes

In one of the most candid episodes yet of Inclusion Unlocked, Sasha is joined by Lewis Raymond Taylor. Lewis is the founder of global coaching phenomenon the Coaching Masters and has been listed among the top 10 coaches in the world by Yahoo Finance.

Lewis recently featured in recent Netflix documentary, the Psychopath Life Coach, a powerful and, in parts difficult, watch tracking how childhood trauma and abuse led to a life of crime and self-sabotage. Having been diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder, emotionally unstable personality disorder and bipolar disorder, the documentary explores the uncomfortable question of whether Lewis has managed to turn his life around after a deeply troubled start - or whether his success is simply rooted in manipulation. 

Lewis shares incredibly open insights into both his personal journey, and the positive and negative responses he has received since the documentary aired. We take a deep dive into identity, behaviour, and how the self beliefs formed in childhood continue to distort our reality as adults.

This is an open discussion highlighting the impact of early trauma - but there is also a great deal of inspiration here. Lewis's experience of "flipping the script" is powerful, as is his view on the immense value coaching holds to unlock our inner potential. If you have watched the documentary, I would urge you to put any views and opinions to one side, and dive into the discussion.

Trigger warning: This episode covers content some may find challenging, including childhood abuse, addiction and suicide.
