Beyond Coping: Radical Healing in a World Not Built for Us

Modern Therapist’s Survival Guide® Podcast (2025)

José joins hosts Curt and Katie for a powerful conversation on moving beyond traditional coping strategies to embrace radical healing — especially for people living in marginalized bodies. The discussion explores cultural trauma, disability, and intersectionality in therapy, emphasizing the need for clinicians to go past symptom-management and support pathways to empowerment, belonging, and justice. José highlights the role of community care, challenges systems not designed with disabled and BIPOC individuals in mind, and shares how advocacy and lived experience can shape access to healing.
