In the world of trauma recovery you can be an expert, and still find it challenging to navigate your own trauma recovery. In today’s episode Guy Macpherson shares his personal path through earning a doctorate in clinical psychology, treating early psychosis, and sharing expert insights on trauma and healing through his podcast. With all the training and knowledge he has gained, Guy shares that authenticity, connection and “humanness” lay at the heart of healing. He shares how challenging it can be to recognize your own experience of trauma and dissociation. He also shares how, through his own personal experience, he learned that things like bullying and divorce can be traumatic.

In 2014 Guy founded The Trauma Therapist Project to raise awareness of trauma, and create an educational and supportive community for new trauma workers. Now, the associated podcast has hundreds of episodes and an audience in more than 160 countries. As Guy explains, a determined approach to help trauma victims can go a long way, regardless of a therapist’s level of experience.
