  • 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.
