759. Everything Wrong WIth Modern Trauma Therapy - WIth Mark Walsh & Dr Helen Machen-Pearce

About this episode

Dr Helen Machen-Pearce joins me again to look at what's happening in the modern trauma conversation. Trauma awareness has done enormous good, but we explore how the term is now being stretched, misunderstood, and sometimes used in ways that can disempower people rather than help them heal.

We discuss the rise of self-diagnosis, the influence of social media psychology, and how trauma language can sometimes become identity, authority, or even ideology. We also look at the pressures inside the coaching and therapy world, including financial incentives, popularity dynamics, and the risk of trauma-informed work becoming what Helen calls "trauma-deformed".
