The Power of Being Seen When the World Looks Away

Healing through storytelling begins when we take the time to truly see another human being. In this powerful conversation about mental health awareness, trauma, resilience, identity, and belonging, we explore how one person's story transformed an entire community.I sit down with psychologist and author Dr. Kirsten Harrison to discuss her award-winning book, I, Sean/a, and the extraordinary journey of Sean/a, an intersex woman who spent years experiencing homelessness before becoming an advocate, teacher, and inspiration to countless people.Together, we explore the intersection of trauma, mental health, identity, community support, and what happens when someone chooses compassion over judgment. Dr. Harrison shares what first drew her to Sean/a's story, the misconceptions surrounding homelessness, and the importance of creating spaces where people feel seen, valued, and accepted.In this episode:• The story behind I, Sean/a• Homelessness and the human stories we often overlook• Mental health, trauma, and resilience• Understanding the intersex experience• The search for belonging and acceptance• How community can change a life• Healing through storytelling• What Sean/a taught an entire community about compassionConnect with Dr. Kirsten Harrison: https://soulwisesolutions.com/
