Self-care, trauma, and embodiment podcast

Recently Alex Iantaffi and I spoke at The Embodiment Conference about our upcoming book, Hell Yeah Self Care. Alex released the dialogue over on their podcast, Gender Stories.

Weโ€™re discussed some of the key themes in the book, applying them to the current moment, including embodiment, intersectionality, trauma, plurality, and the non-binary approach.

You can check out the podcast here, and order the book here via QueerLit online bookstore, or from your local independent bookstore.

We have written a joint statement about The Embodiment Conference and the issues that have been raised with this event here, and there is an excellent piece which captures many of my feelings on the matter by Dr. Jess Glenny, Rev. Jude Mills and Dr. Theo Wildcroft here.

Alex and I just finished our annual writing retreat – online this time sadly for us. How to Understand Your Sexuality should be out late next year, including many similar themes of care, consent, intersectionality, embodiment, non-binary thinking, and trauma applied specifically to sexuality.


Meg-John Barker is the author of a number of popular books on sex, gender, and relationships, including Queer: A Graphic History, How To Understand Your Gender, Enjoy Sex (How, When, and IF You Want To), Rewriting the Rules, The Psychology of Sex, and The Secrets of Enduring Love. They have also written a number of books for scholars and counsellors on these topics, drawing on their own research and therapeutic practice.
