About this listen

 Shadow Selves is a show about queer becoming, and everything that gets in the way. Join host SJ, their friends, and a range of experts on an honest journey through queer stories, traumas and relational dynamics that are too-often swept under the rug. SJ taps stories from their own life to talk about attachment styles, addiction, intimacy, gender dysphoria, and polyamory in this part-narrative, part-interview podcast. Let's meet our shadow selves, shall we? Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/shadowselves/supportSJ Wright Hygiene & Healthy Living Psychology Psychology & Mental Health

  • The Cost of Avoidance and Control

    The Cost of Avoidance and Control
    Feb 2 2023

    SJ has always been bad at avoiding homework, and other important life things, so when their group therapy class assigned a pamphlet entitled "The Cost of Avoidance and Control," naturally they didn't do it. But this episode is their makeup assignment, as they address their negative thought loops and patterns, and encourage you to do the same. (special solo episode)

    I Get Scared 'Bout Sober Sex (with Matracia & The Intimacy Dr.)
    Aug 3 2022

    Intimacy has always been a loaded experience for SJ, who spent their early adult years numbing their way through sexual encounters. Today, they share the story of one early kink experience, and later musician Matracia and sexologist Dr. Faith Harper describe the personal and professional experiences of dealing with substance use disorders, intimacy, and affection. There's a lot to unpack here, so buckle up. And stay tuned for new episodes every month wherever you listen.
