This is a podcast about slow, embodied, liberation-rooted healing — for people the mental health system was never quite built for.

Hosted by Del Knight, PsyD, LPC, LMHC, CCTP-II (they/them) — licensed psychotherapist, Certified Body Trust Specialist, and co-founder of Soma Roots Therapy — The Inked Therapist is a show for queer and trans people, neurodivergent people, trauma survivors, and anyone who has ever left a therapy session feeling like they performed something rather than healed something.

Each episode is a deep dive: clinically grounded, politically honest, and delivered in a voice that doesn't mistake detachment for professionalism. No optimization hacks. No toxic positivity. No pretending that healing is faster or tidier than it actually is.

Topics include the nervous system and why your body isn't broken, body liberation and the Center for Body Trust framework, the difference between single-incident and complex trauma, what "trauma-informed care" actually requires versus what it's being used to sell, neurodivergent-affirming therapy for ADHD and autistic adults, queer and trans-affirming care beyond the rainbow sticker, and slow therapy for people who are exhausted by the hustle version of healing.

Solo deep-dives alternate with guest conversations featuring clinicians, researchers, and advocates doing work worth amplifying.

This is not a show about fixing yourself. It is a show about stopping the war long enough to actually listen to what your body has been trying to say.

Del practices at Soma Roots Therapy (somarootstherapy.com), a somatic, queer and trans-affirming, neurodivergent-affirming telehealth practice serving adults in Oregon and Washington.

New episodes every two weeks.

    Episode summary: In Episode 2 of The Inked Therapist, Del Knight goes deeper on the nervous system arc — unpacking what 'adapted' actually means, why the story of dysfunction causes additional harm, why insight alone doesn't shift nervous system patterns, and what the foundational shift from combat to curiosity actually makes possible in healing.

  • Pilot: "Who This Is For"

    Pilot: "Who This Is For"
    2026/05/23

    The Inked Therapist is back. New chapter. Same unapologetic voice.

    In this pilot episode, Del Knight, PsyD, LPC, LMHC (they/them) — licensed psychotherapist, and cofounder of Soma Roots Therapy — introduces the show, the practice, and the specific kind of person this podcast was made for.

    Not a general wellness podcast. Not a clinical lecture series. A show for people who have been told, in one way or another, that the way they experience the world is the problem — and who are starting to suspect that maybe the world's framework was just the wrong one.

    This episode covers who Del is and why they're making this show, what Soma Roots Therapy is and what it's built around, what "slow, embodied, and rooted in liberation" actually means in clinical practice, and who this podcast is talking to directly — queer and trans people, neurodivergent people, trauma survivors, people whose bodies have been pathologized, people who have tried therapy and found it wasn't quite built for them.

    If you've ever left a therapy session feeling like you performed something rather than healed something — this one is for you.

    If you've ever been told your nervous system is broken, your body is a problem, or your identity is a clinical complication — this one is for you.

    If you are exhausted by healing frameworks that ask you to optimize and hustle your way to wellness — this one is definitely for you.

    Welcome. The door is open.
