Oct 2025 | The Full-Bodied Book Club: Owning Our Struggles by Minaa B., LMSW


  • Virtual on Google Meet (map)

Welcome to The Full-Bodied Book Club!

More than a reading group, this is a supervision space rooted in reflection, liberation, and community care. Created for pre-licensed therapists who want to think critically about their work and their place in the world, we center self-of-the-therapist exploration through texts that challenge the status quo and reimagine your therapy practice.

This Month’s Read

In October, we’ll explore Owning Our Struggle: A Path to Healing and Finding Community in a Broken World by Minaa B., LMSW.

Drawing from her expertise as a therapist and community care advocate, Minaa B. shows how owning our pain and struggles can transform not just ourselves, but our communities, through practices of connection, vulnerability, and radical compassion.

Up to 8 group supervision hours toward licensure.

Limit 5 participants.

Multiple rate options, early bird rates available until 9/22.

PLEASE NOTE: Washington LMHCAs cannot count group supervision as supervision hours on your licensure application, but they can count toward "Other Hours".

  • This 4-week group supervision series is a space for deep reflection and self-of-the-therapist exploration. Each 2-hour session will include:

    • Guided reflection questions,

    • Space for open dialogue, discussion, and community support, and

    • Collective inquiry around what it means to do liberatory work in colonized systems.

    Rather than focusing on client consultation or case review, this space prioritizes you, your experiences, your ancestry, your identities, and your evolving sense of what healing means in your life and the work you do.

  • We offer flexible payment options to make supervision as accessible as possible.

    Take advantage of our early bird discounts when you register by 9/22!

    EARLY BIRD RATES
    One Time Payment: $200 ($25/hour)
    Per Session: $280 ($35/hour)

    STANDARD RATES
    One-Time Payment: $360 ($45/hour)
    Per Session: $400 ($50/hour)
