The Inked Therapist Podcast: Pilot Episode

This show is not for everyone.  The Inked Therapist is a therapy podcast for the people the mental health system was never quite built for — queer and trans people, neurodivergent adults, trauma survivors, and anyone who has ever left a therapy session feeling like they performed something rather than healed something.  Hosted by Del Knight, PsyD, LPC, LMHC (they/them) — licensed psychotherapist, Certified Body Trust Specialist, and founder of Soma Roots Therapy — The Inked Therapist brings somatic therapy, body liberation, and liberation psychology into honest, unfiltered conversation.  This isn't a show for people who want a therapist who performs neutrality. It's not five steps to a better morning routine, or a meditation that will make the political moment feel okay, or a gentle reminder that you are enough — delivered in the same tone as a luxury candle advertisement.  This show is for people navigating complex trauma, chronic stress, neurodivergent burnout, and the specific exhaustion of performing normalcy in a world that wasn't designed for your brain or your body. For queer and trans people who have sat across from a well-meaning clinician and spent the session educating them. For neurodivergent people who left therapy more exhausted than they arrived.  If you're looking for queer-affirming therapy, trans-affirming mental health support, somatic healing for trauma, neurodivergent-affirming therapy, or a body-liberation-rooted approach to mental health — you've found your show.  Slow. Embodied. Rooted in liberation.  Welcome.
