✨Heal the Healer Group KAP ✨ learn more🔻

🌈 This group is hosted by and for therapists, care workers and LGBTQIA+ identified healers seeking a q***r-focused environment to explore Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP).

💭We dreamed up this offering knowing all too well the need for affirming group spaces where we can tend to our inner world and feel nurtured and held by community. We are excited to launch this group in the new year and our applications are open!

🧿Combat burnout, explore your inner world, deepen self-awareness, and offer yourself space for personal and professional integration in this hybrid group space.

💫Ideal for folks looking to envision more sustainable care practices. This group is built for those seeking space to cultivate creative and spiritual self care rituals to sustain their work as a therapist, care worker or healthcare professional.

🩵this is a collaboration between .jessicapunzo and myself 🕊️ we have both received training in ketamine, assisted psychotherapy and specialize in working with the q***r and trans community.

🔭Group sessions will consist of a series of preparation, dosing, and integration sessions. We plan on running group for eight consecutive weeks beginning in early 2026.

📍Dosing sessions will be hosted in person in Oak Park, Illinois (just west of Chicago and accessible on public transit) and our integration sessions will be hosted virtually so you can join from the comfort of your own home

🌀If you are interested in joining, apply today as there are only 4 spots available: intentionstherapy.com/groupofferings

It has taken me over 8 months to complete this blue jay wooden beauty. It took me 77 seconds to tear apart 🧩it was satisfying and hollow all at once. This full moon has a lot to teach me/us. I am spending time today with the movement of pendulation. My body - time and time again - is here to show me that living is about being with complexity. Being with the fullness and spaciousness held between binaries. I feel this in my gender journey; I feel this in my disabled body - this pendulating between expansion and contraction - this, I notice in the wisdom embedded in my dis-ability. The rocking back and forth; Will-they-won’t-they energy of the in-between. My embodied pain drives me deeper into my heart and my existential experience. My body’s pain disconnects me - weighs on me, discourages me, leaves me begging on the floor. How can so much be contained in this pain? I remember that each persons existence is an entire universe - holding oceans of meaning and constellations of intersecting relationships. Today is day 22 of migraine. This year has held months and months of embodied distress as a result of chronic migraine, cyclic vomiting, blinding pain and multi-system health flares. My clients have been so patient and understanding when I have had to cancel without adequate notice; or when I request- yet again- to hold our session via phone instead of video due to the light sensitivity and visual disturbances that come with aura migraines. So - this is a moment to feel into the un- doing.🫀Let there be space for 🪡 un-doing, un-furling, and un-learning. I have a creeping suspicion that the magic of the exhale, the release, the letting go and re-turning of energy requires un-doing. Un-doing, tearing down, composting, un-plugging. These behaviors can be practiced and used with intention. Mastered, if need be. 🖤 How are we to match our inhales with our exhales? How are we to pace ourselves in a world dead-set on reinforcing consumption and insecurity and greed? Let us find love. We can start with un-doing ourselves from the conditions that breed un-loving. Allowing the parts of us holding pain to release and to unfurl. To be Love.

It’s the last week of su***de prevention month and I’m fundraising for the Trevor project because of their life-saving crisis work with LGBTQIA+ youth. I am raising funds through direct donations in memory of my grandmama, Maria as well as by donating 100% profits from sales in my Etsy printshop for the next 2 weeks.

Typically, 85% profits are donated to local and national su***de prevention initiatives as part of the ***rhealingco project. But for the next 2 weeks, 100% of the profits from each sale will be donated to - so shop now to maximize your impact! You will find these designs available in the Etsy printshop as both paper prints and Upcycled fabric patches: Blooming CTA “L” Train, Peonies & Bumblebees, Roseate Spoonbills in Flight, and Florida Seashells! You can find these and more at Etsy.com/shop/q***rhealing

The Q***r Healing Co is a small art project by me, a disabled, neurodivergent and trans therapist. I started this project to invest in my creative practice as a way of preventing burnout and sustaining my clinical work

My hope is that this becomes a channel to share the things I find beautiful while also engaging in the gift economy. The best of both worlds: affordable art prints and handmade gifts for patrons and donations to the much needed cause of su***de prevention in the United States. To donate directly in loving memory of Maria, use this link give.thetrevorproject.org/fundraiser/6703053

Follow ***rhealingco to be the first to know of new print releases. I will be posting a few prints as well as mini notebooks in the Etsy storefront in the next few days. Thanks for your support and for investing in the lives of q***r and trans young people 🖤
