Othered Bodies with Jamie Steel
By Categories: Psychoanalysis

Episode 53 of Voices from ROOM: A Podcast for Analytic Action, “Othered Bodies with Jamie Steele” is now available wherever you listen to podcasts.
This week, Aneta and Isaac speak with Jamie Steele, a licensed marriage and family therapist and psychoanalytic candidate. Steele unpacks an encounter with fatphobia in psychoanalytic training, prompting questions of what bodies are permitted and which are shamed in psychoanalytic spaces. While analysis has shown a growing interest in understanding embodiment, Steele explains how subaltern bodies are still largely excluded from the conversation and literature that shapes our culture.
“I could not stop dwelling on that first question: Can it hold me? Will I fit? My Goldilocks search for an analytic training program, and more specifically for a training analyst, has been a long one, spanning three institutes and nearly a decade.” — Jamie Steele, “Mis/Fitting” ROOM 6.24
