In this episode of "Investment of Self," host Kathy Washburn sits down with guest Leonore Tjia for a deep dive into navigating childhood trauma and finding solace in beauty through the power of poetry. Leonore shares their personal journey of uncovering their high sensitivity and overcoming resistance and fear to address uncomfortable aspects of their life.
They explore topics such as internal family systems, parts work, and the importance of finding a supportive presence in transformative relationships. They delve into the concept of Type C patterns and the language used to describe coping mechanisms and emotional expression. Leonore also discusses their experience with the highly sensitive person (HSP) lens and its intersection with neurodivergent individuals. Together, they explore the ways in which therapy can address past experiences, while also focusing on present-centered approaches that work with the body. The episode delves into the use of personal strengths surveys, the significance of creating a safe environment for skill development, and the challenges of setting boundaries and expressing needs. Leonore and Kathy also touch on the gendered dynamics of emotional labor and the importance of emotional intelligence in leadership and relational healing.

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist trainee who is interested in the intersection of sex, intimacy and complex trauma. I work with many people who identify as Highly Sensitive, LGBTQ+, kinky, and/or polyamorous or ethically non-monogamous, who might just want a therapist who can be affirming around these subjects while working on other concerns.
I came to psychotherapy after spending most of my 20s as a sexuality educator, learning through direct experience about the shame and suffering many people go through around sex and relationships. I also learned about resilience, shame healing, and the power of collective liberation. I hold a deep commitment to therapy and other kinds of healing work that help people liberate life force and break free of sexuality/gender oppression. I also see this as merely one step in the greater change work of transforming race, able-body, and class-based oppression.
