“My guts are coming out, my eyes are being pulled out, my skin’s getting set on fire. Every part of me was being torn to pieces by the removal of the trauma.”

Welcome everyone to this episode of In My Truth!

Today I have another one of my Aubrey Marcus Fit for Service Fellowship friends joining us, Wyatt Hagerty. I’ve had a few of our Fit for Service community on the show, and so far we’ve all been willing to dive into truth, untruth and the uncomfortable stuff, and this episode is no different!

Wyatt works for the Fit for Service Fellowship, beginning as a member of the group and hatching a secret plan to be Aubrey’s personal videographer and find his tribe. It worked, and now he’s living the dream!

But despite this, Wyatt is working through and wrangling stories and untruths - like all of us. 

Wyatt talks us through his addiction, his childhood trauma, and he gets deep into what ayahuasca  and mambo ceremonies have opened up for him.

So, how does Wyatt implement what he’s learnt and how does he alchemise struggle into strength? Let’s dive in.

 

“What is the best possible good of this situation? And I thought about it, and I’m going to help people.”

 

Join your host Sarah Riegelhuth as she’s joined by Wyatt Hagerty in this episode of In My Truth, as they dive into the process of healing and expression their sexuality. From sexual shame, to sex addiction, to healing from sexual trauma and abuse as a child, this conversation gets deep about recovery, and how plant medicine can play a role in the journey. 

“I’m so grateful that I was called to break that chain.”

“This memory popping back into my head lead me to think, okay, something isn’t right here and I’m not certain what it is, but I need to ask.”

Like many of us, Sarah and Wyatt have had to process their pasts as part of their healing journey.

What has come up for you with revisiting your childhood, and have you tried any alternative therapies in your journey?

Wyatt and Sarah also get vulnerable with the stories they’re living with around:

  • managing emotions

  • denial

  • seeing a therapist

  • moving through addiction

  • sexual gratification

  • break ups

  • feeling trapped

  • all-consuming sexual attraction, attention and validation

  • filling holes with people

  • pleasure-seeking

  • taking mushrooms

  • how trauma can manifest physically 

  • feeling unworthy

  • how our traumas interconnect with our partners

  • ayahuasca ceremony

  • our higher selves trying to get us to confront our pasts

  • alchemising struggle into strength

  • the imagery our subconscious comes up with

  • our feelings towards children and where they come from

  • becoming okay with our pain

  • bisexuality

  • kambo ceremonies

  • our connection to nature

  • tracking our moods

  • becoming a man

  • external validation

  • how women’s cycles are linked to the moon phases

  • energetic healing

  • the healed masculine

  • calling in a partner

  • building powerful sexual energy

  • temptation

  • sexual dynamics

 

“Waking up on Thursday I just thought, this might be my first day as a man.”
