Summary

What drives a trauma therapist to dedicate their life to healing others? Meet 12 experts as they share their journeys and their reasons for choosing this path.

Welcome to the New Year episode for 2025! As usual, I'll start by reflecting back on 2024, which was a much better year than 2022 or 2023, but still a very tough year for me. And there were many glimmers.

Then we will hear from 12 Trauma Therapist Network members sharing about their work as trauma therapists. I hope that hearing from some of our talented members will be interesting and for those who are intimidated by the idea of trauma therapy, that it will inspire curiosity about what type of therapist would be the right fit! 2025 is getting started, let's buckle in!
