Abstract
Phoenix Song Project (PSP) is a community-led music therapy organization that focuses on voicework for and by members of trans and non-binary communities. The grounded theory methodology research described in this chapter is developed from the minutes of a development meeting that considered the organization’s work and the potential of these results to affect its future direction. The key category that emerged from the results was that of liminality. Reflecting further on subsequent engagement gave rise to a proposed theory of liminal experience and the therapeutic paradox this poses. This chapter suggests that while the experiences of liminality are common to trans lives and could have direct implications for queer and trans music therapy, these experiences can also function as a barrier to therapeutic engagement.
