## Resource

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Collin King, a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate based in Portland, Oregon. Collin shares his raw and deeply personal story of growing up in a fundamentalist religious environment in the South, navigating chronic suicidality, spiritual abuse, queer identity, and self-harm, and how he found his way to healing and wholeness. Collin brings both lived experience and clinical insight to the conversation. With a background in Counseling Psychology, Public Health, and languages, he specializes in trauma recovery, toxic masculinity, queer identity development, and mindfulness-based therapy. His approach is grounded in self-acceptance, somatic wisdom, and helping others transform shame into self-trust. If you're navigating a spiritual awakening, healing from abuse, or seeking deeper purpose in your life, this conversation will speak directly to your soul. ✨ Subscribe for more trauma healing, emotional growth, and spiritual alignment content. 💫 Learn more at https://vistapsych.com/profiles/collin-king-ma/ ___ Find out more about Andrea Love and her services here: andrea.love Find out more about The House of Healing & Love here: thehouseofhealing.love ___ All production by Cody Maxwell. sharkfyn.com Artwork by Heather Grace Gordy.
