Abstract

Queer, transgender, and nonbinary (QTNB) Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) experience distinct forms of oppression that can become internalized, further heightening this population's risk of developing mental health concerns. While there is a growing movement to uplift the experiences of resilience and coping among QTNB-BIPOC, few have specifically focused on experiences of healing from internalized oppression. Using an intersectional framework and interpretative phenomenological analysis, we interviewed 34 QTNB-BIPOC regarding their experiences of healing from internalized oppression. After examining the qualitative data, member-checking procedures with participants further refined and validated themes. Findings support three broad themes: (a) affirming contexts as a vehicle for healing, (b) journeys of self-healing, and (c) QTNB-BIPOC collective healing, wisdom, and solidarity. QTNB-BIPOC reported experiences of individual and collective healing practices that aided in their own well-being and gave back to future generations of QTNB-BIPOC. We provide ways for researchers, practitioners, and advocates to engage in initiatives that aid the healing of QTNB-BIPOC communities. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2026 APA, all rights reserved).

“我和社区一起学会了爱我自己”：酷儿、变性人、非二元黑人、原住民和有色人种抵抗和治愈内化压迫的经历。

酷儿、变性人和非二元（QTNB）黑人、土著和有色人种（BIPOC）经历了不同形式的压迫，这些压迫可能内化，进一步加剧了这一人群发展心理健康问题的风险。虽然在QTNB-BIPOC中有一个不断增长的运动，以提升韧性和应对的经验，但很少有人特别关注从内化压迫中治愈的经验。使用交叉框架和解释性现象学分析，我们采访了34名QTNB-BIPOC，了解他们从内化压迫中康复的经历。在检查了定性数据后，参与者的成员检查程序进一步完善和验证了主题。研究结果支持三个广泛的主题：(a)肯定环境作为治疗的工具，(b)自我治疗的旅程，(c) QTNB-BIPOC集体治疗，智慧和团结。QTNB-BIPOC报告了个人和集体治疗实践的经验，这些实践有助于他们自己的福祉，并回馈给QTNB-BIPOC的后代。我们为研究人员、从业者和倡导者提供了参与帮助治愈QTNB-BIPOC社区的倡议的方法。（PsycInfo数据库记录(c) 2026 APA，版权所有）。
