What happens when a queer person spends years surviving but never truly healing?
In this raw and powerful episode, we break open the silent crisis of mental health in the LGBTQIA+ community. From high-functioning anxiety to emotional numbness, we explore the hidden weight so many queer people carry — and why it's time to lay it down. You’ll learn how systemic oppression, rejection, and internalized shame affect our mental well-being, and what real healing looks like when it’s done through a queer-affirming, trauma-informed lens.
This isn’t just about therapy — it’s about reclamation.
It's about learning that you're not broken — you’ve been bruised by a world that taught you to shrink.
🎙 Topics covered:
• Queer trauma & minority stress
• The limitations of traditional therapy
• Internalized shame & emotional repression
• Community healing, somatic therapy & nervous system work
• What it means to thrive mentally as a queer person
💬 If you’ve ever felt like you were “too much” or “not enough,” this episode is for you.
Your mind deserves more than just survival. It deserves softness, sovereignty, and safety.
