About this listen

A call to action for therapists to politicize their practice through an emotional decolonial lens.

An essential work that centers colonial and historical trauma in a framework for healing, Decolonizing Therapy illuminates that all therapy is—and always has been—inherently political. To better understand the mental health oppression and institutional violence that exists today, we must become familiar with the root of disembodiment from our histories, homelands, and healing practices. Only then will listeners see how colonial, historical, and intergenerational legacies have always played a role in the treatment of mental health.

This book is the emotional companion and guide to decolonization. It is an invitation for Eurocentrically trained clinicians to acknowledge privileged and oppressed parts while relearning what we thought we knew. Ignoring collective global trauma makes delivering effective therapy impossible; not knowing how to interrogate privilege (as a therapist, client, or both) makes healing elusive; and shying away from understanding how we as professionals may be participating in oppression is irresponsible.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Decolonizing for Clincians

Well written, thoughtful, honest, candid and relevant resource for clinicians ready and/or desiring to go against the status quo. Helps to provide context and understanding of the mental health industrial complex. The why and how we got to where we are today.

Saving my life.

I am a therapist working through my own traumas and have been working with my fellow humans within systems for 10 years now. Jennifer articulates everything and it is validating to integrating my parts into a whole, rehumanizing myself, healing on deeper levels regardless of barriers on all levels of my life. This is the first time I’ve felt no shame in grieving what I couldn’t put words to.

Thought-provoking, inspiring read; performance poor

An essential read for every psychotherapist. Excellent for study group with peers/colleagues. Deeply needed for our times. I only wish the reader for the audio version was more fluid and natural in their performance. I found the repetitive cadence and robotic inflection to be highly distracting throughout. And more than a couple of words were mispronounced. I’d recommend reading the paper copy (helpful for note taking anyway) or just be prepared for the potential for frustration.
