Episode 423: Guy Macpherson, PhD. Trauma Sucks

Today it's about getting to the core of what this podcast is about. It's about reacquainting myself--and perhaps, you, as you're listening to this--to what I'm trying to do here on a daily basis, which is to create not just a greater awareness of trauma, but to explode the awareness of trauma, so that more and more people are able to recognize it and talk about it. Because, that's when the healing will get done on a larger scale.
