Dr. MaryCatherine McDonald | The Bravery of Curiosity in Trauma Healing
Episode 188
Tuesday, 31 March, 2026
This week, Thomas sits down with trauma researcher, life coach, and author Dr. MaryCatherine McDonald, for a conversation on the importance of curiosity in trauma healing, the difficult necessity of turning towards pain, and how to “compost” our wounds into fertile soil for inner growth.They discuss how to shift away from the isolation that trauma creates and lean into connection, empathy, and shared responsibility as part of the healing process. They frame our conscious inquiry into our suffering as a sort of real-world alchemy that transforms the stagnant energy of the past into an integrated future.Ultimately, a special kind of courage is required to investigate trauma with openness and curiosity, and we hope this dialogue inspires some of that courage in anyone watching or listening.✨ Watch the video version of this episode on YouTube:👉 https://youtu.be/9vLUGEyGBkgVideo episodes are typically posted at 8am PT/ 11am ET✨ Join Thomas and the CEO of Mobius Executive Leadership, Amy Elizabeth Fox, on Tuesday, March 31 for a free, live, online event - When Chaos is the Context: Bringing a Trauma-Informed Approach to Coaching & ConsultingThey'll explore how to recognize and work with the underlying dynamics that shape behavior and culture in organizations to bring greater depth and impact to your work.Register for free here 👉https://traumainformedcertificateprogram.com/event✨MaryCatherine McDonald, PhD, is a research professor and life coach who specializes in the psychology of trauma, stress, and resilience.
