Trauma Therapist | 2.0
If you're a new trauma therapist looking for support, education and inspiration... You've Just Found Your Tribe!
Welcome to Trauma Therapist | 2.0!
My name is Guy Macpherson, PhD. I'm host of The Trauma Therapist | Podcast and founder of this community for new trauma therapists, Trauma Therapist | 2.0.
If you're a new trauma therapist looking to gain confidence, learn about trauma, and find support and inspiration, this is for you!
Trauma Therapist | 2.0 is a monthly membership community specifically dedicated to supporting, educating and inspiring new trauma therapists.
When I got to graduate school it was all about “What trauma book do I need to read,” or “What workshop do I need to attend,” that was going to help me be the best trauma therapist I could be. Both of which are crucial.
But what I missed was how much I mattered. And by that I mean, how much my self-awareness mattered, and how integral my own authenticity and presence mattered to doing this work.
And sometimes developing those elements takes a certain self-confidence, and self-belief, which at the time I honestly was kind of lacking.
I created Trauma Therapist | 2.0 to help other new trauma therapists learn the value of themselves and their uniqueness within the context of doing trauma work.
I wanted to create a community where new therapists could learn from seasoned professionals, and also learn from each other, from therapists from all over the world, without judgement, or embarrassment.
This community is not about being an expert. It’s about being yourself, and learning to honor who we are, and yes, also learning about trauma, but then learning how to put those things together all in service of helping people who’ve been impacted by trauma.
Your Instructor
Guy Macpherson, PhD, is a husband, a father of two, and holds a doctorate in clinical psychology. He has spent the last several years studying the impact and treatment of trauma, and early psychosis.
In 2014, Guy founded The Trauma Therapist Project with the goals of raising the awareness of trauma and creating an educational and supportive community for new trauma workers.
The Trauma Therapist Project has now grown to include The Trauma Therapist | Podcast, now being listened to in more than 160 countries around the world and downloaded more than 100K times per month, as well as Trauma Therapist | 2.0, an online membership community specifically dedicated to educating and inspiring trauma workers just starting out on their trauma-informed journey.
Guy’s focus currently is on creating a vibrant, global community to support, educate and inspire new trauma workers, as well as to upend the present way that trauma is taught at the graduate level.
When I found Trauma Therapist | 2.0 I felt like I was home. The education the community provides is a huge part of it. Your Trauma Therapist | 2.0 puts me in touch with so many different people who work with trauma—and who have more knowledge than I do—and they give me acknowledgement and affirmation that I’m on the right path.

I feel like we’re able to share information with each other and that we’re allowed to ask questions that are both professional and personal. A while back I felt really overwhelmed because I’d encountered a client that had a really serious trauma history and wondered whether I was going to be able to pull this off. I had so many people from the community jump in and just encourage me and just to make me feel that I was going to okay!

Michelle Turnbull. I think it’s a great reflective practice to just sit and listen and watch the Master Class Video Interviews and gain those insights and build little gems into your own practice. I think it can be a really great part of your own supervision, in a sense.
