The Trauma Therapist - Un pódcast de Guy Macpherson, PhD
Today we continue with the series, Managing in The Midst of COVID-19.
My guest today, Fran Waters is one of those therapists you wish you had: She’s funny, warm, creative and super smart.
In this interview we talk about the global impacts of trauma and how to manage during this unprecedented time, as well as explore how the trauma of this experience is impacting individuals and therapists alike.

Somatic Experiencing Trauma may be a fact of life, but it doesn’t have to be a life sentence. Somatic Experiencing is a psychobiological method of addressing clients’ physical and emotional trauma conditions, and helps to give voice to their experiences without a need for them to retell the story.
SE was founded by Dr. Peter Levine, author of the bestseller Waking the Tiger, who developed Somatic Experiencing based on explorations of how animals deal with threat, nervous system overwhelm, and traumatic experiences on a daily basis.
