The Trauma Therapist

My name is Guy Macpherson. I am a husband, father, brother, and a psychologist. I specialize in the treatment of trauma and early psychosis. My passion is raising the awareness of trauma and helping trauma therapists thrive.
I do this by helping trauma clinicians engage more effectively and deeply with their clients by:
Sharing trauma information and materials
The Trauma Therapist Podcast
Trauma Therapist elite
For the last six years I have dedicated myself to the study of trauma psychology, trauma therapy, post-traumatic growth, and most recently, the intersection of trauma and psychosis, specifically the signs of early psychosis.

Jan Winhall M.S.W. R.S.W. F.O.T. is a Registered Clinical Social Worker and Coordinator with the Focusing Institute in New York City (http://www.focusing.org/). She is a member of the International Focusing Oriented Psychotherapy Association (http://www.focusing.org/) and Director of Focusing On Borden, a training centre where she teaches Focusing and supervises therapists. She is also an Adjunct Lecturer with the University of Toronto Master of Social Work program. Jan has worked in the area of trauma and addiction for over 30 years. Early on she was drawn to Gene Gendlin (http://www.focusing.org/bios/gendlin_bio.html)’s work called Focusing, a contemplative practice that facilitates a state of integration between mind, emotion and body awareness. This embodied state gives fresh direction in dealing with life problems and wounded places. It can be taught in 6 steps and is practiced in partnerships. Focusing Oriented Therapy provides a profound relational context offering healing experiences. Jan has written a chapter, ‘Understanding and Treating Addiction with the Felt Sense Experience Model (http://www.focusing.org/addictions/Felt-Sense-Experience-Model-of-Emotional-Regulation-1.pdf)’ (Greg Madison Editor, Emerging Practice in Focusing Oriented Psychotherapy, Innovative Theory and Applications (178-193). London: Jessica Kingsley Publishers. Her Felt Sense Experience Model offers a departure from the traditional pathologizing framework in treating trauma and addiction, emphasizing the power of Focusing as a tool for attaining emotional regulation.

One of my main inspirations for beginning this podcast was to support and inspire new therapists who were interested in learning about trauma. It's also the reason I started my membership community, Trauma Therapist | 2.0.
From time to time I invite Trauma Therapist | 2.0 members onto the podcast to share their story, journey, struggles, and inspiration. Today it's about celebrating one such member, Kelly Rae.
First though, I'd like to thank the sponsors who help me keep this podcast afloat!

Somatic Experiencing® Trauma Institute (SETI)
Trauma may be a fact of life, but it doesn’t have to be a life sentence. Somatic Experiencing is a psychobiological method of addressing clients’ physical and emotional trauma conditions and helps to give voice to their experiences without a need for them to retell the story.
Kelly started studying for a Masters Degree of Counseling and Psychotherapy in 2008 after her 40th birthday. Following that , and then after leaving what she calls a tricky marriage, it seemed increasingly clear that maybe she was meant for a different path.
Hailing from Sydney, Kelly took her first counseling job at a remote Aboriginal community north of Alice Springs and stayed for three years. Upon returning she took a break and finished her degree.
In 2015 she began working for an Aboriginal organization called Link Up and accepted a position as their Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Childhood Sexual Abuse.
Currently, Kelly is working at Functional Family Therapy - Child Welfare, which she is Team Lead of four talented FFT-CW therapists.
