Description
I genuinely enjoyed my Sacred Conversation with Dr. Jennifer Mullan, PsyD., creator of Decolonizing Therapy: a psychological evolution that weaves together political, ancestral, therapeutic, and global well-being (@decolonizingtherapy on IG). Dr. Jenn is a major disruptor in the mental health industrial complex. Her work is an urgent call to dive to the root of global and generational trauma to unlock the wisdom of our sacred rage. She is also the author of the recently released book Decolonizing Therapy: Oppression, Historical Trauma, and Politicizing Your Practice, a Love letter and call to action for helpers, healers, therapists, and space-holders struggling inside the mental health industrial complex. As I move through her book, I am awash in the absolutely beautiful and Loving poetry of her language, heart, and calling. Dr. Jenn and I had ourselves just a down-home, mighty good time. This is all I will say about our conversation. I am excited for you to listen and enjoy yourself just as much. Sacred Conversations are periodic episodes of my podcast in which I reach out to people whose work and life inspire me, and we simply have an old fashioned phone conversation. No video. No scripted, transactional, extractive, one-sided interview dynamic. Just two people with a care and curiosity for each other’s journey, asking each other soulful questions, and enjoying the ancient, mutually healing art of listening deeply. Again, not an interview. A spiritual communion. The idea is for us to relax and enjoy an organic conversation, like over tea or breaking bread, and get to know each other along the way.
