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.

    What Trauma-Informed Actually Means: and What It's Being Used to Sell You
    2026/08/28

    Episode Summary: In the second episode of The Inked Therapist's trauma arc, Del Knight goes beyond the language of trauma-informed care to examine what the framework actually requires — and what it's been diluted into by the wellness industry, corporate HR departments, and providers who adopted the vocabulary without building the structure. Drawing on SAMHSA's Six Principles of Trauma-Informed Care, this episode gives listeners a concrete framework for evaluating whether the care they're receiving is genuine, what they're allowed to expect and ask for, and what to do when a provider claims trauma-informed care but doesn't demonstrate it.

    Topics Covered: Origins of trauma-informed care · Judith Herman's foundational work · SAMHSA's Six Principles (safety, trustworthiness, peer support, collaboration, empowerment, cultural responsiveness) · Co-optation by wellness and corporate sectors · Language vs. structural commitment · What genuine trauma-informed therapy looks like in session · Client rights · Rupture and repair · Leaving therapeutic relationships that aren't working · Cultural responsiveness as clinical requirement

  • Not All Trauma Looks The Same

    Not All Trauma Looks The Same
    2026/08/14

    Episode Summary: In Episode 8 of The Inked Therapist — and the first episode of a two-part trauma arc — Del Knight, CCTP-II, breaks down one of the most persistent and harmful misunderstandings in the therapy world: that trauma requires a dramatic, identifiable event. This episode draws the distinction between single-incident and complex/developmental trauma, explains why complex trauma is so hard to name (including for the people living inside it), and addresses directly the minimization trap — the 'nothing that bad happened to me' calculation that keeps so many people from taking their own experience seriously.

    Topics Covered: Defining trauma as nervous system response · Single-incident / Type I trauma · C-PTSD / Complex trauma · Developmental and relational trauma · Attachment disruption · Emotional neglect · Fight/flight/freeze/fawn · Pete Walker’s C-PTSD framework · Judith Herman · Bessel van der Kolk · Peter Levine · Resmaa Menakem / Cultural Somatics · Racialized and historical trauma · Maria Yellow Horse Brave Heart / historical trauma in Indigenous communities · Joy DeGruy / Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome · Prentis Hemphill / healing justice and embodiment · Minority stress and social trauma · Neurodivergent trauma histories · Comparative suffering · The minimization trap

    Referenced Works: Trauma and Recovery — Judith Herman | The Body Keeps the Score — Bessel van der Kolk | In an Unspoken Voice — Peter Levine | Complex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving — Pete Walker | My Grandmother’s Hands — Resmaa Menakem | Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome — Joy DeGruy | What It Takes to Heal — Prentis Hemphill

    Episode Summary: In Episode 7 of The Inked Therapist, Del Knight — Certified Body Trust Specialist, Center for Body Trust (2024) — introduces the body trust framework and why it's different from body positivity, intuitive eating, or any other self-improvement program dressed in liberation language. This episode names the systems — diet culture, medical fatphobia, wellness culture — that taught most of us not to trust our bodies, walks through the core threads of the Center for Body Trust approach, and gets specific about what body trust actually looks like in a life, in a therapy room, and in a culture that profits from the war.

    Topics Covered: Body trust vs. body positivity · Center for Body Trust framework · Body sovereignty · Diet culture · Medical fatphobia · Wellness culture co-optation · Body trust for trans and neurodivergent people · Interoception · Grief and body trust · Health as not a moral obligation · Collective vs. individual healing
