  • 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.

  • Trails of Thoughts

    My experience with the trauma therapist podcast was incredibly positive. Guy is kind, respectful, and asks thoughtful questions while giving you the space to express yourself fully. Even when the topic was deep, I felt completely comfortable. It was clear that he generally cares about people, which made the conversation meaningful and easy to engage in.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Saving Lives, Saving Men with John Henry Parker
Q: What is the core framework you use to help men navigate crisis and transition?
The framework centers on 10 dimensions—identity, values, meaning, purpose, self-care, roles, a future vision, execution, willingness, and legacy—designed to help men rediscover themselves and navigate change.
Saving Lives, Saving Men with John Henry Parker
Q: What does the early career path look like after leaving the Marine Corps and deciding to pursue this work?
I modeled success by working with top trainers and authors, learned the psychology of selling, and gradually transitioned into behavioral assessment and coaching, which laid the groundwork for my later focus on trauma and veteran transition.
Saving Lives, Saving Men with John Henry Parker
Q: How does one get a job working with the leading figures in motivation and sales, like Tony Robbins and Jim Rohn?
It started with Tom Hopkins and a persistence to learn; after initially being told they weren't hiring, I kept pursuing, followed a chain of connections through marketing guru Ron Marks, and eventually demonstrated initiative and determination that landed me in the role.
Anger What Do You Need From Me with Bronwyn Schweigerdt
Q: What were you getting instead of that mirror you needed in therapy, if anything?
She describes that early therapy often offered only passive listening or advice, with little validation of anger or guidance on healthy engagement with it, which motivated her to train as a therapist who can validate anger in clients.
Anger What Do You Need From Me with Bronwyn Schweigerdt
Q: And when did that happen relative to the first one?
Bronwyn explains that the second depressive episode occurred a couple of years after the first, during internship, and was worsened by a supervisory dynamic that betrayed her boundaries; recognizing this helped her see the anger as a motivator to set boundaries and reclaim self-respect.
