Episode 423: Guy Macpherson, PhD. Trauma Sucks

Today it's about getting to the core of what this podcast is about.

It's about reacquainting myself--and perhaps, you, as you're listening to this--to what I'm trying to do here on a daily basis, which is to create not just a greater awareness of trauma, but to explode the awareness of trauma, so that more and more people are able to recognize it and talk about it. Because, that's when the healing will get done on a larger scale.

Guy Macpherson, PhD, is a husband, a father of two, and holds a doctorate in clinical psychology. He has spent the last several years studying the impact and treatment of trauma, and early psychosis.

In 2014, while working at a clinic in Northern California, assessing and treating young individuals with early psychosis, Guy founded The Trauma Therapist Project with the goals of raising the awareness of trauma and creating an educational and supportive community for new trauma workers. 

The Trauma Therapist Project has now grown to include The Trauma Therapist | Podcast, now being listened to in more than 160 countries around the world, as well as Trauma Therapist | 2.0, an online membership community specifically dedicated to educating and inspiring trauma workers just starting out on their trauma­-informed journey. 

Guy’s focus currently is on creating a vibrant, global community to support, educate and inspire new trauma workers, as well as to upend the present way that trauma is taught at the graduate level.
