Episode 72- Shaun Coffey: I was walking around with my trauma backpack

Shaun, a father to a 10-year-old daughter, an ultramarathon runner, and a music enthusiast, is the co-author of the stigma-breaking book, “Boys Do Cry,” a collection of true stories by men who have overcome adversity and gender conformity surrounding their mental health and emotions. Between the ages of 7 and 17, Shaun lived in an around-the-clock fear state as a result of both the physical and emotional childhood trauma levied by his father. Through it all, he has overcome addiction, homelessness, and mental illness, re-established a relationship with his mother, from whom he was taken in a custody battle at a young age, and finally broke the cycle to become the father that he always wanted to be.
