Courage.
Vulnerability.
Daring.
Fear.
Self-Acceptance.
Self-Trust.

I need work on all of those.

All of those things, words, elements, characteristics within that image up there, I could stand to improve upon.

As we all know life isn't this fixed destination, but rather an ever-shifting journey.

My name is Guy Macpherson, PhD. I’m host of The Trauma Therapist Podcast.

Over the course of the last several years I’ve interviewed hundreds of incredible guests and now coming up on 1000 interviews!

One of my greatest take-aways from all of these interviews is the importance of authenticity, or simply being who we are.This process and becoming and being the best version of ourselves isn't a straight line with some hockey stick curve swopping up to amazingness.

For many of us it's a slow one-step-forward, three-step-back plodding, speckled with glimpses of excitement and inspiration.

I remember the first time I experienced being in a group process in graduate school. I remember that nervous feeling and the excitement about what it would mean to share, to reveal myself, to share my thoughts and feelings with the others in the group.

But once the group settled in and we were able to trust and feel safe everything began to flow.I love being in a group of people who are committed to learning about themselves so that they can become the best version of themselves.

This is what my new program It's Me Thriving is all about.

I'm committed to creating an incredible group process.

I've been doing this for a long time now and love it.

The strength and power and the revelations that come from being part of an incredible group can allow us to see our own selves in a way we might not otherwise be able to.

We'll share our story.

We'll support each other and be supported and encouraged.
