Let's get real about therapy! Dr. Money joins us to discuss "Ep 27 When Therapy is Not Enough." We get into Black Femininst Narrative Therapy, what it is, and how Dr. Money uses it in her practice. We discuss systemic suffering masquerading as mental illness, the ethics of involuntary hospitalization, and how everyone thinks they're sicker than they actually are. Dr. Money also answers your listener questions! Dr. Montinique "Money" McEachern (her/she) is a Black lesbian healer with her own practice, Combahee Therapy, based in what is now called Philadelphia, but is the original home of the Lenape people. She is the oldest child of her momma, and grew up surrounded with the stories of Black women, so it is no surprise that her therapeutic approach merges Black feminism and Narrative Therapy. She is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and has a PhD in MFT as well. When she's not therapizing, she is hosting QueerWOC: The Podcast, a podcast for the social and mental wellbeing of sapphics of color.
