The Trauma Therapist Project

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.

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!!!

Thank you so much for the (Trauma Therapist | 2.0 video mp3) download link, it has made a difference to my life!

I had been intending to watch the videos in the evenings at home but every time I tried to watch I got distracted or was too tired to concentrate.  So now I can download them I play them in the car while I'm driving and just listen. This way I find it way easier to follow and concentrate and i'm thoroughly enjoying them, so thank you again!

I am feeling so inspired about this work thanks to my daily connection with your podcasts and videos. I'm starting to daydream about bringing some trauma training into my local mental hospitals. .. one day when I get there! (The background of that is that I did some placements at various psychiatric settings and was shocked at how infrequently trauma was mentioned, talked about and seen as relevant to patients' treatment.  And how little trauma training most of the psych nurses  who were running the places had.)

That's my rant over :-)

Time to sleep. Goodnight!

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.

I began listening to your podcast on a road trip last night and have been binge listening ever since. I am finishing a clinical psychology internship and am an aspiring trauma therapist. In your podcast I found the inspiration, passionate examples, self-searching questions, wisdom and guidance, I  have been craving. I am still reeling from the implications of developing "presence" and how I can do that in my own life and in my work.  I am so grateful you invested into your dreams and created this website and this podcast. I am on fire to be a contributing member to your community.

Hi Guy...

I discovered your podcast and I love it and I thank you. I'm starting an MSW program in January and I thank you for the inspiration. I'm 52 and doing a mid-life career transition from being a global humanitarian to being a U.S.-based LCSW one day, I hope. I just bought Sarah Peyton's book thanks to hearing her on your show. When I have more money, I will join the community, Trauma Therapist | 2.0.

Please don't stop doing what you do!

Best regards,
Michael G.

I just found your podcast, and it is fabulous. After 20 years in the music business and a divorce, I have gone back to school in order to become an LCSW and work with returning combat veterans who live with PTSD. While I have no military experience, it is a population for whom I have great respect and gratitude. Your podcast allows me to learn a vast amount from clinicians in the field. The questions you ask are invaluable (clinical errors is a fantastic question!), as are the stories they tell. Thank you, thank you, thank you for your wonderful work and for giving listeners/students like me some insight into this wonderful profession. All the best, John. I look forward to taking advantage of the materials you have provided on your sight.
