The Trauma Therapist

Dan Grové is an author and the creator of the Fire & Water Paradigm, a framework reimagining modern masculinity through emotionally honest and mythic experiences.

His work, which includes the book series Strong Enough to Fall, Strong Enough to Rise, and Strong Enough to Lead, guides men from emotional shutdown to sovereignty and from wounded boyhood to embodied manhood.

Rather than offering quick fixes, he provides "mirrors" that invite presence, helping men who have lost their sense of direction to rebuild from within by integrating the masculine principle of Fire with the feminine principle of Water.

Sharon is the co-founder of Joyous PBC, an AI-powered platform focused on making mental health treatment affordable and accessible. 

A cognitive psychologist, she has led the development of patient programs and created Joyous for Therapists, a collaboration tool designed to support clinicians. Her work centers on the psycholytic ketamine approach for trauma treatment — a low-risk method with negligible psychiatric or medical emergency rates. 

Because low-dose ketamine produces partial dissociation, clients stay oriented while gaining enough psychological distance to work directly with trauma targets. 
It requires far less training than psychedelic therapy and has shown strong effectiveness for trauma care.
