“Dear Trauma Therapist Podcast supporters,
I wanted to take a moment to address some recent negative reviews that have been left on my podcast (titled “Unethical” and “Platforming an Abuser.”)
First, I want to speak to those who felt that I unfairly and “rudely” blocked them on Twitter. I want to make it clear that I take harassment, towards myself or my community, very seriously and will not tolerate any form of abuse, be it in person or on this or any other online platform. Blocking someone is a last resort, though sometimes it is necessary for the safety and well-being of those involved. In this case, myself!
Second, I want to speak to the concerns raised about an alleged abuser and scammer being featured on my podcast. Let me be very clear: I would never knowingly invite someone on my podcast and “provide them with a platform” who has committed abusive behavior. To suggest so is ludicrous. I’ve been producing this podcast for several years and have conducted over 700 interviews with people who’ve dedicated their lives to helping those who’ve been impacted by trauma. This is my mission. This is what this podcast is about! To propose that I would do otherwise is absurd, and then to write a incorrect, negative, misinformed podcast review is not only misleading but it’s malicious.
I welcome reviews. I enjoy the positive ones, of course. I’ll take the negative ones with an open ear and I will learn from them. However, when those reviews become vindictive and hostile and are not even addressing the actual podcast itself, then I will speak out.
Thank you for your continued support.
Guy”
