Today I welcome a client and his therapist. This is the story of how these two people met, began working together, and of how one's life was saved.Jen Fiser MA, LPC has most recently been the clinical director at Innate Path, a Denver-based psychedelic psychotherapy clinic specializing in PTSD, for three years. She was instrumental in developing the model of psychedelic psychotherapy used at the clinic, a model utilizing the healing pathways inherent within the embodied subconscious.Jen leads an experiential, cohort-based model of training, through Innate Path, for professionals who are working, or are interested in, the field of psychedelic therapy. The main goal of the training is to deeply engage each practitioner in their personal process as the foundation of the knowledge needed to be an effective psychedelic therapist. Jen’s educational background includes Buddhist psychology and somatic psychotherapy, with work experience as a teacher, supervisor, group process leader and meditation instructor.Ed was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1940, and shortly thereafter my family moved to Manhattan. There were three more moves to different suburbs of NYC and finally back to Manhattan, where he lived away from his family. Ed later found Vermont and sought sanctuary there for many years. In This EpisodeInnate Path---The Trauma Therapist Newsletter is the monthly resource for trauma therapists everywhere.Learn more and subscribe here: The Trauma Therapist NewsletterSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-trauma-therapist-podcast-with-guy-macpherson-phd-inspiring-interviews-with-thought-leaders-in-the-field-of-trauma/exclusive-contentBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-trauma-therapist--5739761/support.You can learn more about what I do here:The Trauma Therapist Newsletter: celebrates the people and voices in the mental health profession.

Today I talk about vulnerability. This is one of those qualities that we talk about a lot on this podcast, and for good reason. It's one of those states that is crucial for all therapists, certainly, and yet for those working with individuals who've been impacted by trauma, in my opinion it must be at the forefront for the therapist. In this episode I talk try to take a bit of a deep dive and get specific. I hope you enjoy it. Guy---Guy Macpherson, PhD, is a husband, a father of two, and holds a doctorate in clinical psychology.
