Epi 26: “Queer Healers: Identity, Insight, and Clinical Magic”
Epi 26: “Queer as Healer: Identity, Insight, and Clinical Magic”
What does it mean to be a queer healer? And how does embracing queerness--whether through identity, philosophy, or lived experience--transform the way we show up in clinical spaces?
In this special Pride Month episode of The Rebel Clinicians, co-hosts Alex and John unpack the vibrant and multifaceted role of LGBTQ+ practitioners in healing work. With warmth, laughter, and hard-earned wisdom, they explore how queerness can be a source of sacred medicine, cultural resistance, and radical authenticity.
Drawing from personal stories, cultural history, and clinical experience, the episode touches on:
- Queer identity beyond sexuality--what it means to think, feel, and live queer
- The legacy of LGBTQ+ people as spiritual gatekeepers and wisdom holders across cultures
- How the queer lens challenges norms and opens space for fuller healing
- The difference between "affirming" clinicians and those doing the real inner work
- Creating safer spaces for clients to explore sexuality, gender, and self-expression
John also shares how tantra and yoga support men in reconnecting to their sensuality, emotional intelligence, and identity--while Alex reflects on bringing humor, presence, and safety into therapy as a queer clinician.
As always, listeners are encouraged to think critically, embrace nuance, and celebrate the magic of being exactly who you are.
