Mary Jo Barrett

Finding My Religion, a Podcast

I have had the privilege of knowing Mary Jo Barrett for the last ten years. She is one of the wisest people I know, and it was an absolute blessing to sit down and have her share her wisdom with our audience.

Mary Jo is a nationally prominent expert in the treatment of trauma and traumatic violence in the family. Her model is a collaborative, resilience-oriented approach that helps families create healing plans that can provide lasting change. Mary Jo also works extensively with helping therapist prevent Compassion Fatigue and heal from Vicarious Traumatization. She is a leading authority on family violence, including the physical and sexual abuse of children, neglect, incest, and spouse abuse, and has been working on these issues since 1974.
