Living Practice
Queertherapie is defined as a constantly evolving practice, capable of adapting to shifts in gender,
sexuality, the self, and social realities. Since identities and experiences are not fixed, the therapeutic
practice itself cannot be static.
Being a “living practice” thus means remaining attentive to social, political, cultural, and linguistic
shifts, and being open to continually reexamining one’s own tools and stance.
Care then becomes an evolving, situated, depathologizing, and engaged practice, capable of
embracing complexity rather than seeking to reduce it.
Queertherapie is therefore a living practice because it evolves alongside the people, narratives, and
worlds it supports; it continually adjusts its knowledge, approach, and tools to make care a space for
transformation, one that is both intimate and collective.
