In this profound episode of FATUM, hosted by Destin Judy, we step into the worlds of LGBTQIA+ identity, homelessness, trauma healing, spiritual integration, and radical acceptance with Dr. Kirsten Viola Harrison. A trauma psychologist, spiritual integration expert, and founder of Soul Wise Solutions, Dr. Harrison has spent over 25 years guiding people through deep psychological and spiritual transformations—supporting those living with complex PTSD, dissociative identity disorder, schizophrenia, and near-death experiences. She is also the co-author of I, Sean/a: The Story of a Homeless Intersex Woman Who Inspired a Community, the remarkable true account of Sean/a Smith—an intersex woman, artist, and athlete whose life defies stigma, challenges outdated medical practices, and calls for dignity, inclusion, and soul-deep healing.
In this episode, Dr. Harrison shares her MISSION to reframe trauma symptoms, her JOURNEY from conventional clinical practice to integrative soul work, and her advocacy for intersex rights. And she offers a practical TOOLKIT for healing—including the power of “mood walks,” movement, and daily practices for grounding and renewal. The conversation closes with a moving HEALING MINUTES segment, where Dr. Harrison reads from her book, sharing Sean/a’s powerful voice of resilience, hope, and radical self-acceptance.
