DISCLAIMER: This episode is filled with mini tangents and conversational pivots. If you’re looking for a scripted podcast, this isn’t for you. If you’re looking for candid, funny conversations between three therapists who just get it, then welcome! Grab a snack, a drink, and unwind with us.
This week, we are joined by Mish Kumar-Jonson, a South Indian, non-binary, queer, neurodivergent, and disabled Accredited Mental Health Social Worker based on unceded Kulin Nation lands.
As a therapist, researcher, and EMDR consultant, Mish integrates anti-colonial and healing-centred approaches to trauma work, especially with people of the global majority to create spaces where folks can connect, heal, and embody their favourite selves.
Together, we discuss the intersection between neurodivergence and queerness and the struggles both identities face when navigating the world. We explore:
Identity and inner struggles
Masking and the cost of palatability
Self-compassion as a queer and/or neurodivergent person
The significance of having the right support system in place
