In 2014, Guy founded The Trauma Therapist Project with the goals of raising the awareness of trauma and creating an educational and supportive community for new trauma workers. The Trauma Therapist Project has now grown to include The Trauma Therapist | Podcast, now being listened to in more than 160 countries around the world, as well as Trauma Therapist | 2.0, an online membership community specifically dedicated to educating and inspiring trauma workers just starting out on their trauma-informed journey.

Terriann Walling is a founding partner of Purple Fire Publications and a co-author, with writing partner George Gerard, of the newly released book, Permeate and Penetrate: Trauma and Reformulation Poetry. Terriann, who is from Saskatoon, Canada, and George, who is from San Francisco, first met on an online writing forum and started working together on a fictional novel with protagonists that personified aspects of trauma. The collaboration fostered their exploration and theory of Reformulation Poetry.
