Timon Lee: How to Fuse Your Identity

Abbie & Tim Steckler

What if you are doesn't fall neatly into any box? Part of what makes Timon an incredible person and therapist is he holds so many aspects of his identity that society too often does not see as going together, namely being queer and Christian. Timon walks through his process of going through social work school to become a Marriage and Family Therapist, his unorthodox journey to getting there that provides him unique relationships and, perspective, and what he hopes to accomplish in helping others navigate their own dialectical tensions and identities that on the surface might seem at odds. This is a great episode for anyone interested in mental health. Plus, Tim wonders if anyone enjoys his version of small talk and Abbie lobbies for a new bread-themed nickname.
