    Guy is one of the most amazing podcast hosts I have had the privilege of having a conversation with. His love for his work and knowledge radiates from within. He is curious, open and warm. Our conversation felt effortless and he is hands down one of the best podcasts out there and I have been on Many. I highly recommend listening to all of his episodes ❤️.

  • Phenomenal Mental Health Podcast

    I recently had the opportunity to be a guest on The Trauma Therapist Podcast, and it was one of the most enjoyable podcast experiences I’ve had.

    Guy is an exceptional host. He creates a relaxed, conversational atmosphere that makes it easy to share openly and naturally. Rather than rushing through a list of prepared questions, he truly listens. He followed my story thoughtfully, picked up on important details, and asked insightful questions that deepened the conversation in meaningful ways.

  • Real Conversations about Trauma and Healing

    I’m grateful for The Trauma Therapist Podcast and the space Guy Macpherson creates for real, unguarded conversations about trauma and healing. There is a steadiness in his presence that allows guests to speak honestly, without performance. What stands out to me is the depth of listening—conversations unfold slowly, with care, and with respect for the complexity of the human experience. It’s a valuable and grounding resource in the trauma-informed field.

What Does It Mean To Heal with With Sara Davidson
Q: What role did the therapeutic relationship play in your healing?
The ability of a clinician to witness my horrors and stand with me in pain was transformative; that witnessing is a foundational element I now bring to my own practice.
What Does It Mean To Heal with With Sara Davidson
