The general theme of this episode is gender and sexuality.
As usual we blend personal anecdotes with some theory and reflection. We shine some light on asexuality as an orientation which is often invisible and / or invalidated by both heteronormative and queer communities.
We then discuss the concept of neuroqueering and apply this to our own evolving identities markers and practices. We acknowledge and explore the impact of imposter syndrome and shame on our processes.
This recording is in two parts and the sound quality in the second half is a little different. The fact that it is in two parts means that you will get an in situ insight into the dynamic and ever changing nature of our dialogue.
We reflect on the vulnerability of being transparent in this way, particularly in relation to this topic and with reference to our therapeutic practices. The way in which we do this may actually be "neuroqueering" in the moment?!
