Hybrid Format
Queertherapie is presented as a hybrid and intersectional therapeutic approach, at the intersection of several healing practices and traditions, including psychoanalysis, witchcraft, and astrology. These symbolic and ritualistic practices, along with ancestral knowledge,at the intersection of various healing traditions and bodies of knowledge, come together in an alternative therapeutic space where they can coexist. This intersection allows us to address queer experiences in all their complexity, working simultaneously with the imagination and the symbolic. Care is therefore not limited to what can be said,certain experiences can also be explored, represented, ritualized, or embodied. The practice thus becomes an experimental continuum, in which one modality can open the door to another, speech can lead to symbolism, symbolism to ritual, and ritual to give rise to new speech. Each practice enriches and shifts the others. Thus, Queertherapie offers a space where ambiguity, metamorphosis, desire, and self-invention can become resources for subjectivation, rather than elements to be corrected or stabilized.
An alternative therapeutic space.
