Payam is a Healer

This time, we sit down with Payam about healing, identity, and finding peace in our bodies.

He shares his experience immigrating from Iran, coming out, and living through the AIDS crisis. We also explore how somatic therapy can help us move through trauma, regulate our nervous system, and reconnect with ourselves.

We talk activism, queer joy, and what decades as a therapist have taught him about resilience and community.
