  • 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.

  • Great Interview

    Guy asked questions that made me shine. It is not uncommon to be on podcasts that I have to try and get my point across amidst questions that are vague. Guy asked amazing questions that were easy to answer, and he guided the conversation in a way that brought out my work. GREAT PODCAST!!!

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Using Psychometric Measures to Help Your Clients with Hilah Kate Kaufman, PhD
Q: How should a clinician start using measures if they've never used them before?
Start small—self-administer a measure to understand the process, select one or two measures relevant to the client, and utilize the profiles and reports to integrate results into care without replacing clinical conversation.
Using Psychometric Measures to Help Your Clients with Hilah Kate Kaufman, PhD
Q: What is NovoPsych and who can use its measures?

Using Psychometric Measures to Help Your Clients with Hilah Kate Kaufman, PhD
Q: How did your interest in psychology start?

It’s Not What You Think. It’s How You Think with Amanda Anderson
Q: NLP stands for what?

Moving The Darkness Out of The Way with Alexandra R. Johnson, MD
Q: What makes Breema different from traditional therapy or medical treatment?
Breema emphasizes inner work, mutual support, and vitality rather than fixing symptoms or changing the patient's identity; there is no required outcome, and the practitioner's role is to listen, be present, and guide the client toward becoming their own healer while still receiving support from clinicians when needed.
