  • 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.

    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.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How Do I Tell You This with Tonya Pieske
Q: How does Tonya facilitate deeper storytelling with guests who aren't professional speakers?
She starts with a call to outline the story, uses an optional worksheet to provoke detailed recall, and conducts long recording sessions with an icebreaker phase to help guests relax, followed by careful digging for deeper moments.
How Do I Tell You This with Tonya Pieske
Q: What sparked the idea for How To Tell Someone and its approach to storytelling?
Tonya explains that everyone has a vulnerable story, and the show aims to unlock those details by creating a safe space, using preparation like worksheets, and guiding conversations to uncover sensory and nuanced memories that shape who people are.
The Indomitable Power of Authentic Being with Daniel Zimmerman, M.D.
Q: When did you start to think about this idea of the importance of authenticity?
He explains a shift from an insular private practice to building a multidisciplinary, collaborative environment focused on authenticity, influenced by psychoanalytic concepts such as the true self vs. false self, and reinforced by working with a web developer who helped shape the clinical brand.
The Indomitable Power of Authentic Being with Daniel Zimmerman, M.D.
Q: So how the heck did all this start for you? I want to go back to, I want to be a psychiatrist.
Dr. Zimmerman describes a long-standing balance between humanities and sciences, a personal journey through medical training, and a calling toward psychiatry as a field that allows a humanistic approach to medicine.
Neglect is the story of nothing with Ruth Cohn, MFT, CST, BCN
Q: Let's talk about how neglect became this focus for you. When did you start focusing on the neglect narrative, and how did it emerge in your work?
I began noticing a pattern in the late 1990s when I ran workshops for male partners of women with histories of sexual abuse. Many men said nothing happened to them, yet they showed a shared, empty 'nothing' tone in their lives. This led me to develop the neglect-informed framework, examining how absence of attachment and caregiving dynamics contribute to patterned outcomes in relationships and personal development.
