Trauma Therapist | 2.0

An Inspiring Community for New Trauma Workers

What does it take to sit with those who've been impacted by trauma?

Knowledge about how trauma effects the brain and body? Definitely.

There are, however, other, essential elements that must be cultivated.

These are the qualities that everyone I've interviewd on The Trauma Therapist | Podcast talk about as being imperative components of this work.

I'm talking about authenticity, compassion, vulnerability and presence.

And specifically, exploring how one goes about cultivating those qualities.

Trauma Therapist | 2.0 is a membership community specifically dedicated to helping new trauma workers explore and learn about these qualities.

A Little Love

Guy Macpherson, PhD has made an important contribution to the profession for education, resources, and community for trauma-focused therapists, new and experienced.

Had I not found out about his podcasts at The Trauma Therapist Project and the membership in Trauma Therapist | 2.0, it would have taken me much longer to find out how to progress in this important clinical focus. Everything about both is inspiring and educational.

I love the egalitarian environment in which any member is encouraged to share their experiences and knowledge. I believe this openness to the plurality of perspectives allows me to grow as a clinician.

Thank you, Guy for this excellent website. I am truly grateful and appreciative to have found this fruitful orchard of learning and wisdom. Thank you for the opportunity of benefiting from not just the masters in the field of trauma. I am touched by the authenticity they bring, their integrity, even sharing the mistakes - Thank you so much - I am relatively new, my passion is building strong families, healing restoration, and hope after trauma in children, developmental trauma, attachment, and dissociation - best wishes.

You can be very proud of your enormous contribution to Trauma Therapy at a time in our History when thousands of our Injured Warriors and Families continue to suffer because of the lack of health resources and the protocol of psychiatry to cast a dark shadow on everyone they meet for a few minutes as they receive their cocktail meds and create the VA Shuffle....Suicides continue daily. These master therapists introduce alternatives that produce results of health, restoration and resilience without these chemicals. Thank you, my friend....you are the best there is and so timely. Great Year's Work!!!

Guy!
I can't get enough of this podcast and I'm really thankful for the passion and heart you have behind trauma therapy.

Hi Guy.

I am a new therapist living in the UK, near London. I have done my BSC and MA in psychotherapy and now am starting to train in trauma as my specialism later on.

I came across your podcast early 2016 and really love listening to your shows and getting insights from lots of great therapists. So I wanted to thank you for what you are doing, it's been informative, interesting, guiding and many of the clinical errors have made me wake up to my errors that I pushed aside and minimised, so you have helped me and my clients!

Many thanks, look forward to listening more shows in 2017.

Happy New year to you.

Dear Guy,

Thank you so much for providing such stimulating podcast interviews. Your style of interviewing is excellent, as you enable each guest to shine.

I often listen to the podcasts a second & third time & find that I am learning an enormous amount of up to date information.

I work as a Youth & Family Therapist. Most young people who present have experienced trauma.
I had the pleasure recently of attending Bessel Van der Kolk's Seminar in Melbourne.

What really stands out to me is the openness & honesty of the guests. The message about self care &  the importance of doing our own work is very clear.

Thanks again

Warm regards

This path has been a spiritual up-cycling of pain for me. To my point, that is why I am so grateful to your podcast and the guests on it who have survived their own traumas. The generosity with which they have shared their stories gives me confidence that I belong here too. Thank you for the inspiring, encouraging work you do. It's pointed me toward so many great directions for further study and experience. I hope we'll talk some day, And I too, will have something unique and valuable to contribute to the on-going, trauma-informed conversation. cheers!" -- Julie B.
