Hi, my name is John Kim and I'm a therapist who went through his own

rebirth I share my feelings and revelations I believe in casual or

clinical and with you instead of at you I come unrehearsed on purpose, because self-help doesn't have to be so complicated.

You know when you meet someone and you just hit it off because you guys speak the same language.

That was the case for today's guest,

who I'm so pumped to have on my podcast,

met her like 10 years ago on the internet and 10 years on the internet is like a

hundred years in real life although we're friends in real life as well.

Back when I was on Tumblr and I needed help because I had no idea what the fuck I was doing and I was

getting just too many questions and anyway she was one of the first to

answer that call her name is Dr. MC McDonald. I knew her before she was a doctor and she

specializes in trauma. She is so talented in what she does. She is a professor, she teaches for our life coaching, intensive journey coaching,

and also, well she's a professor at a university as well, she's also a writer, she's a professor at a university as well.

She's also a writer, she's also a coach, she's a trauma coach,

doing amazing things, running groups, and all sorts of stuff.

So what she does is she brings trauma to street level.

She, how do she normal, she normalizes trauma.

Yeah, yeah, she normalizes it and the way she talks about it is in a way that is refreshing and different and important and so enjoy Dr. M. McDonald as we have a conversation about trauma and how trauma affects our relationships.

M. C. McDonald.

Hi, how are you?

Good, how are you?

Good.
