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 in music and psychology from the University of Massachusetts Boston. Before entering private practice, I worked with veterans at the Department of Veterans Affairs in acute inpatient psychiatry. I also worked as a clinical supervisor in community mental health and private practice outpatient clinics.

While I enjoyed the academic study in my master’s program, 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 influential 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.

Currently, I spend most of my time making psychoeducational videos on childhood trauma and training clinical therapists in Amanda Curtin’s RRP group psychotherapy model.

TESTIMONIALS

Working with Patrick helped me to understand what a healthy family system actually looks and feels like, so that I was able to begin to recognize how my family differed from that. Learning to recognize and name abusive behavior has been extremely empowering, and I now feel that I am learning the tools necessary to avoid destructive relationships and start shedding the guilt and shame I’ve carried with me for decades.” – Anonymous

“I realize today that connecting myself to my childhood has given me insight on why I struggle in certain areas of my life. I won’t lie, it was very hard work, but extremely rewarding. I would recommend to anyone who had a dysfunctional childhood to give Patrick a call. I am thankful that I met him and owe him a tom of credit for the great quality of life I have today.” – Anonymous
