I am excited to share this episode with all of you. I sit down with Hannah Barrett at Kindred Roots Therapy, a fellow MSW student, to talk about our experiences in decolonizing work. The sound is a tad bit spotty at times, and there is an option to download a transcript or watch as a video - depending on your preferred way to ingest information.
A blurb about this conversation….
“In this episode of Unfiltered Therapists, Hannah and Marin discuss their experiences and reflections on decolonizing the therapy space and engaging in anti-oppressive work. They explore the importance of land acknowledgements and the challenges of navigating white saviorism. They emphasize the need for continuous learning, self-reflection, and taking action to dismantle oppressive systems. They also discuss the impact of cancel culture and social media on perceptions and fear of judgment. In this conversation, Hannah and her guest discuss the importance of taking action in anti-oppressive practice and decolonizing spaces. They emphasize the power of collective support and the need to know that you're not alone in these efforts. They also explore the concept of self-compassion as an act of resistance and the role it plays in dismantling colonialism and oppressive systems. The conversation highlights the importance of mindfulness, common humanity, and self-kindness in cultivating self-compassion. They recommend reading 'Decolonizing Therapy' by Dr. Jennifer Mullen as a resource for understanding and challenging oppressive systems.”
I would love to hear your reflections ;)
