203 - Onyx Fujii - Broken Is Beautiful: Building an Embodied and Liberatory Practice of Care

Onyx Fujii's contribution arrives by way of the Kintsugi Therapist Collective (co-founded with CWH guest Asher Pandjiris), and I'm in awe of what they have created: a virtual community offering "embodied care, support, wisdom, and resources to trans and non-binary, BIPOC, chronically ill, and disabled mental health providers."  One of this conversation's "off-camera" revelations is that Onyx joined me from their bed. It's a small win for Onyx, allowing them to honor the day's physical and mental limits. While Covid exposed cracks in overburdened systems, societal acknowledgment of our vulnerability (and interdependence) remains non-existent. Even in a field supposedly aligned with self-care, productivity remains paramount. MENTAL HEALTH WORKERS Check out our Wounded Healers Virtual Group. It's a juicy, sweet, and really cool place to connect. GROUP PRACTICE OWNERS I'm offering a working collective for group therapy practice owners who want to lead from the heart while building a thriving, ethical business. Join us at Wounded Healers as Leaders. GUEST BIO Onyx Fujii, LCSW, is a queer, non-binary, chronically ill, mixed-race licensed clinical social worker.
