Here, the therapist is presented as a vector of embodied knowledge, who brings together lived experience, psychoanalysis, collective histories, and transgenerational knowledge to offer a queer space of care where norms can be questioned and new ways of being can emerge. The therapist’s personal journey is therefore not viewed as something that should be erased in the name of so-called objectivity. On the contrary, it constitutes clinical material and a point of reference, enabling an understanding of queer experiences, the effects of social norms, trauma, and forms of resistance. The practice thus bridges the individual and the collective; personal experiences are situated within the histories, legacies, violence, and norms that shape them. The session becomes a space where the psychological, the social, and the symbolic can meet and transform. The goal is not to normalize or adapt queer people to existing norms, but to enable them to question these norms, shift them, or reject them, in order to construct alternative ways of understanding themselves and existing in the world.
