What began in traditional mental health spaces has expanded into a deeply personal and spiritual approach to healing that blends somatic awareness, cultural practices, and spiritual exploration.</p><p>Together we talk about:</p><p><br></p><ul><li><p>The difference between <strong>spirituality and religion</strong></p></li><li><p>Religious trauma and reclaiming personal belief systems</p></li><li><p>The role of the <strong>body in healing emotional and spiritual wounds</strong></p></li><li><p>Spiritual authority, autonomy, and discernment</p></li><li><p>Colonization and disconnection from ancestral knowledge</p></li><li><p>The importance of <strong>somatic awareness and embodiment</strong></p></li><li><p>How therapists can move beyond rigid clinical frameworks to hold human-centered space</p></li></ul><p>Sonia also shares about her personal healing journey—including navigating spiritual abuse, trauma, and the process of rebuilding spirituality on her own terms.</p><p>At its core, this conversation is about <strong>reclaiming agency over your beliefs, reconnecting with your body, and remembering that spirituality can be something you define for yourself.</strong></p><p>As Sonia beautifully reminds us in this episode:</p><p><strong>“Spirituality is what you make of it.”</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>About the Guest</strong></p><p>Sonia Fregoso, LMFT</p><p>Sonia Fregoso is a licensed marriage and family therapist and spiritual practitioner who describes her work as that of a <strong>mystical somatic curandera</strong>.

Her philosophy centers on helping people <strong>reconnect to their own inner wisdom and spiritual authority</strong>, rather than relying on external systems of control.</p><p>Her practice emphasizes storytelling, presence, and embodiment as pathways toward emotional and spiritual transformation.</p><p><strong>Connect with Sonia</strong></p><p>Website:</p><p>https://obsidianwoman.com/</p><p>Instagram:</p><p>https://www.instagram.com/lasoniafregoso/</p><p><br></p>

Trauma-Informed Care for LGBTQ+ Folks
<p>What does trauma-informed care actually look like when you’re queer, navigating identity, safety, relationships, culture, and systems that weren’t built with you in mind?</p><p><br></p><p>In this episode of the Queer Magic Podcast, host <strong>Luis Cornejo (he/they)</strong> sits down with <strong>Janae R. Borrego, M.A., LMFT, CCTP, C-EMDR, CIMHP, CMIP (she/all)</strong> to break down what trauma-informed care really means for LGBTQ+ folks ... beyond buzzwords, checklists, and surface-level inclusivity.</p><p><br></p><p>Together, they unpack the difference between “big T” and “little t” trauma, how microaggressions, chronic stress, and systemic harm compound over time, and why many queer people don’t always recognize their experiences as trauma until it shows up in their nervous system, relationships, or sense of safety.</p><p><br></p><p>Janae shares how trauma-informed care shows up in real therapeutic practice: building trust, honoring lived experience, understanding cultural and identity-based stressors, and creating spaces where clients don’t have to educate their therapist just to feel seen. The conversation also explores therapist self-awareness, implicit bias, accessibility in mental health care, and what it truly means to center client autonomy and safety, especially for marginalized communities.</p><p><br></p><p>Whether you’re a queer person navigating your own healing, a clinician wanting to deepen your practice, or someone curious about how trauma actually lives in the body and mind, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and practical insight.</p><p><br></p><p>Because trauma-informed care isn’t just a framework... it’s a way of showing up.</p><p><br></p><p><strong> Connect with Janae / Learn More</strong></p><p><br></p><ul><li><p>🌐 Website: <strong>janaeborregolmft.com</strong></p></li><li><p>📸 Instagram (Personal): <strong>@janaeborregolmft</strong></p></li><li><p>🧠 Instagram (Practice): <strong>@jbpsychotherapycc</strong></p></li><li><p>🌈 LGBTQ+ Affirming Program: <strong>rainbowhillrecovery.com</strong></p></li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>What You’ll Hear in This Episode</strong></p><p><br></p><ul><li><p>The difference between <strong>“big T” and “little t” trauma</strong> — and why both matter</p></li><li><p>How <strong>microaggressions and systemic oppression</strong> impact mental health over time</p></li><li><p>What trauma-informed therapy looks like beyond buzzwords and surface allyship</p></li><li><p>Why <strong>safety, trust, and autonomy</strong> are foundational in queer-affirming care</p></li><li><p>The role of therapist self-awareness, bias, and lived experience</p></li><li><p>How trauma can show up in relationships, identity, and the nervous system</p></li><li><p>What LGBTQ+ folks deserve from their mental health providers</p></li><li><p>How to advocate for yourself in therapeutic spaces</p></li></ul>
