Free, virtual, and starting in an hour!

As a few spoilers, I will be asking @thepoliticizedprac.bsky.social to talk about: trauma, grief, and honoring your pain; dating apps, hook-ups, and becoming a love alchemist; and de-pathologizing risk discourses (i.e. chemsex, cruising).

Psychodynamic frame: Whose gaze shaped your body story? Whose approval did you chase—or avoid? Exploring this can shift the power #Chapter9 #BodyConsciousCulture

CBT skill: List 5 things your body does for you each day. Movement, sensation, safety. Let utility interrupt judgment. You are more than an image. #Chapter9 #BodyConsciousCulture

Queer spaces can celebrate bodies—but also scrutinize them. When desirability is currency, shame follows. You deserve rest, pleasure, and love outside of how you look. #Chapter9 #BodyConsciousCulture

You’re allowed to grieve rejection and still know you’re whole. You’re allowed to be hurt and not give up. Rejection is part of being real—not a sign you’re broken. #Chapter8 #ManagingRejection

Have you ever turned rejection into redirection? Share a time when something that hurt made space for something better. #Chapter8 #ManagingRejection

Two Israeli human rights groups say their country is committing genocide in Gaza It is the first time that Jewish-led organizations in Israel have made such accusations against the country during nearly 22 months of war.

Rejection sensitivity can be heightened for queer folks who’ve faced exclusion, bullying, or invisibility. Healing begins with recognizing this isn’t overreacting—it’s unhealed pain.#Chapter8 #ManagingRejection

What do you say to yourself after rejection? Is it kind? Harsh? What could you say instead that would feel more healing? #Chapter8 #ManagingRejection

Not everyone has the capacity to see you clearly. Rejection often says more about their limitations than your value. That doesn’t make it hurt less—but it does make it less true. #Chapter8 #ManagingRejection

Gestalt prompt: Speak as the part of you that fears rejection. Then reply as the part of you that’s learned resilience. Let them meet in the middle. #Chapter8 #ManagingRejection
