Luis’s journey of sharing more of himself in his work, claiming himself as a model, playing with make-up and being free

Going from a stable and “successful” job at Kaiser to a queer-centric and indigenizing therapeutic practice

Sharing himself authentically in room as a therapist with his clients

Luis’s journey of identifying as an indigenous person through the shame, taboo and grief 

The messages and stories in his family about what it means to be indigenous, the othering of indigenous people of Oaxaca while using aspects of their culture

Bringing his background into therapy, the complex grief around identity and reclamation

The universal practices of humming as nervous system regulation

Bringing in Quitapenas or “worry dolls” as an offering in his therapy practice with relevant clients despite his initial doubts and fears of what’s “ethical” or “valid”

The lack of acknowledgement and co-opting of indigenous culture, art and practices, even with “evidence-based” modalities

The intimate act of discovering ourselves, coming out as ourselves, being seen and allowing ourselves to not be seen

Being ‘out of hiding” is a daily practice, and how “hiding” sometimes is for protection

How Luis protects his inner child as he lives out and proud and freely authentic
