À propos de cet audio

In this heart-shaking, wisdom-soaked episode, we’re joined by the incomparable Karla Fleshman (they/she) — a licensed clinical social worker, EMDR therapist, irreverent reverend, published author, and plural survivor thriving in community.What unfolds is part interview, part sermon, part love letter to queer and dissociative youth — and a fierce call to action for therapists, schools, and adults everywhere.We explore:* Karla’s cancer diagnosis and system discovery anniversary * Their journey through severe school bullying, trauma, and survival as a queer teen* How dissociation shows up as a somatic, adaptive response to systemic harm* A powerful reading of their poem “Who Was Nex? Who Is Nex.T?” honoring Nex Benedict and queer youth lost to violence ⚠️ *Content note: The poem addresses bullying, suicide, and trauma.** What it means to create healing community inside and outside the therapy room* Why clinicians must break from rigid models to truly welcome all parts* How healing happens when we slow down, get real, and stop trying to do therapy “perfectly”Whether you’re a clinician seeking to be more affirming, a system navigating complex trauma, or someone longing to be reminded that healing is possible — this episode is for you.00:00 – Opening + Guest Introduction08:43 – Discovering They Were a System13:10 – Bullying, Survival, and Dissociation31:31 – Poem: Who Was Nex? ⚠️ *Content note: The poem addresses bullying, suicide, and trauma.*38:47 – Queering EMDR + Therapist Clarity49:29 – Community, Not Just Clinicians1:08:40 – Closing Reflections🔗 Connect with Karla Fleshman* Transitions Delaware* Be The One Campaign* Queering EMDR Therapy Book* “Who Was Nex?” Poem + Journal Article🛠 LGBTQ+ & Plurality ResourcesYouth Support & Education:* GLSEN* Welcoming Schools* Rainbow Book Lists* PFLAGFor LGBTQ+ Elders:* LGBT Aging CenterCrisis Lines:* Thrive Lifeline* The Trevor Project* Trans LifelineLegal, Medical, and Community Support:* Point of Pride* Trans Equality Legal Network* Transgender Law Center* FOLX Health* WPATH💥 Are you a System or Therapist looking for more?Visit HealingMyParts.org — a hub for professional consults, trainings as well as system-led groups, unapologetic blog posts, and merch with a pulse.Built by a therapist living with DID and 25+ years of experience in the field.Whether you’re a therapist seeking advanced trainings or a system craving a community — you’re welcome here. 🩷🫶💜Visit us on Substack at healingmyparts.substack.comVisit us on Instagram for bite sized healing nuggets @HealingMyParts Get full access to Healing My Parts at healingmyparts.substack.com/subscribe
