She works with trauma survivors and those with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) on post-traumatic growth and recovery. Through her work she believes that when we share, dialogue and feel supported, it provides a powerful foundation for forward movement in our understanding and the care needed. In her own words "I have found that the most profound changes occur when a person truly feels heard and understood - I like to think of it as deeply BEARING WITNESS to life evolving. We can feel incredibly stuck when we live with our fears, stressors and troubles in isolation." Dr.Baranowsky is the host of the Bear Psychology Show, focusing on bearing witness to Evolving Mood, Mind, Health. Her talks revolve around recovery, relationships, work and life adventures. She is dedicated to assisting organizations and health professionals who help trauma survivors to ensure a trauma informed lens of care can grow in community health networks. With that vision in 1998, the Traumatology Institute Canada (TIC) was established. TIC has trained thousands of individuals nationally and internationally. Dr. Baranowsky serves on the board of directors of the Academy of Traumatology and is a Board Certified Expert in Traumatic Stress through the American Academy of Experts in Traumatic Stress and is recognized by The National Center for Crisis Management. She has published in the area of Post-Traumatic Stress, Compassion Fatigue, and therapeutic relationships (the Silencing Response). Copyright: Dr. Anna Baranowsky, 2020

Opening Up: Trauma Recovery with Dr. Anna Baranowsky and Dr. Robert T. Muller

“When people have been through terrible life experiences, if they have their peeps, their tribe, their people, that they can go to social support, is the buzzword in the field of psychology.”

Why is it so hard to open up about trauma? Dr. Anna Baranowsky sits down with Dr. Robert T. Muller, a seasoned clinical psychologist and author, to tackle this very question. Together, they dig into the intricacies of the therapist-client relationship and how it can foster a safe space for healing. They explore the essential tools therapists use to help clients feel secure enough to share their stories. Dr.

Muller’s book, 'Trauma and the Struggle to Open Up', serves as a key resource in their discussion, offering insights into the challenges and breakthroughs in trauma therapy. The episode highlights the triphasic approach to trauma care, which emphasizes creating a stable environment before diving into deeper therapeutic work. By the end, listeners are reminded that with the right support, post-traumatic growth is not just a possibility but a likely outcome.

Whether you're a trauma survivor or someone supporting one, this episode provides valuable perspectives on the journey to recovery.
