S15 Ep 4: From Council Estates & Showbiz to Addiction Therapist: David Yates

David grew up on a council estate in Chiswick in two rooms with his mum, sister, aunt and grandmother - plus a debt collector, Mr Butler, who visited most weeks. Despite having no money, he says it was a childhood filled with love. But when he was a teenager David was attacked by a gang and he says he was never quite the same. David went on to work in the world of showbiz as a television producer with the likes of Richard Gere, Julia Roberts and Mr Motivator (I know!)But after having to face his own struggles, David today works as an addiction therapist. David says we all need to feel seen, whoever we are.You can find out more about David here: https://www.davidyatestherapy.co.uk/And loads more about me, my podcast and my books: https://www.elliebarkerwrites.com/ Hosted on Acast.
