Nathan Spiteri: male childhood sexual assault survivor and author of Toy Cars
Manage episode 387600845 series 3510577
Nathan grew up in Australia with a loving family, until one day at the age of 8, Nathan was approached by a man at a public swimming pool who brutally raped him. Following this horrific event, Nathan’s perpetrator continued to insert himself into Nathan’s life - forming a relationship through grooming, threats and creating a sense of dependency. Once the abuse ended, Nathan’s life began to further spin out of control as he dealt with the psychological aftermath that was left behind. After living out his pain through dangerous and self-sabotaging behavior, Nathan was able to take control of his life and begin his healing journey. Nathan then chronicled his life in the best-selling novel “Toy Cars: One Man’s Journey From Trauma to Triumph.” He is currently working on a documentary about his life, as well as a screenplay.
