ABOUT THE PODCAST
Who gets centered in healing, and who’s been left out
A somatic healing podcast exploring what it means to practice mental health care outside the mainstream wellness mold, with a decolonial lens on trauma-informed care.
____________________________________________
Somatic and liberation-centered
Conversations move between somatic practice and liberation-centered frameworks.
____________________________________________
Identity is not a footnote
Queer and trans-affirming, neurodivergent-affirming care, discussed as lived reality.
____________________________________________
For clinicians and seekers alike
For anyone wanting a conversation that doesn’t flatten identity, culture, or embodiment.

________
Solo Reflections
Episodes where Del thinks out loud about somatic practice, decolonial frameworks, and the parts of clinical work that don’t get said in supervision.
