About Patrick

Hello! I’m Patrick Teahan LICSW and a fellow childhood trauma survivor

I earned my master’s degree in Social Work from Boston College, and my bachelor’s degree music and psychology from University Of Massachusetts Boston. Before private practice, I paid some clinical dues in service to veterans at the Department of Veterans Affairs in acute inpatient psychiatry. I also spent time being a clinical supervisor in community mental health and private practice outpatient clinics.

While I loved getting my master’s, my experience in childhood trauma healing came from my time as a client. At 19, I stumbled into therapy as a somewhat feral childhood trauma survivor and spent five years with a gifted and profoundly effective trauma therapist and fellow LICSW – Amanda Curtin.

Amanda developed the RRP group model of childhood trauma that I now practice, do research on, train and talk about on my YouTube channel.

These days, I spend most of my time making psychoeducational videos on childhood trauma using Amanda’s RRP model and throwing in my own 2 cents. Well, maybe more than a couple of cents. YouTube tells my I’ve hit 15 million views since starting in 2018.

When I’m not doing videos on YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram, I carry a small caseload for group and individual that is full, conduct trainings for other therapists and run an online remote healing community.

I also play drums in between all these things to have fun and ground myself.
