43. Kim Paulus, LMFT
Today I am speaking with my friend and Internal Family Systems peer Kim Paulus, LMFT. Kim and I discuss the intersection of queerness and BIPOC, being a first generation immigrant and biracial. We discuss legacy burdens and ancestral healing among BIPOC queers. We also discuss what it means to speak your truth, how to meet others in the LGBTQ+ community, what it means to live authentically, and how to navigate relationships with those who disapprove of the gay community.
Kim Paulus describes herself as a fat, biracial, queer psychotherapist and IFS clinical consultant in private practice in Oakland, California. With a background in social justice activism, she serves primarily the LGBTQIIA+ and BIPOC communities, including multiracial people and adult children of immigrant parents. She first began using IFS in 2004, and was recently invited to join the IFS training staff as an Assistant Trainer. She is passionate about bringing the beautiful healing and empowerment that IFS offers to more and more of her people.
