Nathan Spiteri (@NathanSpiteri) is an Australian filmmaker, actor, and writer on a mission to eradicate the lingering shame of abuse. As a child, Nathan was sexually and mentally abused for years. He discusses the attachment he felt to his abuser, how he continued the cycle of abuse as an adult, and how he was finally able to see that the pain he was causing others stemmed from his own trauma.
