And we're back!


Reader,

I hope this email finds you well (or actively coping with the state of the world). I know it’s been a while since my last email, and I want to thank you for your patience during this very impromptu hiatus 💛

Over the past two months, I:

  • took an unexpected break from most communications (watch video here),
  • succumbed to the sweet uncertainty that comes before clarity and decision making,
  • spent intentional time with myself for personal growth
  • spent intentional time with other educators for professional growth
  • have been working more intentionally on new projects that I can’t wait to share with you.

Here’s what you can look forward to in the upcoming months:

  1. Decolonize Your Practice: Soon I will be retiring my current 8-week program and repurposing its content for future offers (I will tell you more in future emails).
  2. 1:1 consultation sessions: they are up and going. Dedicated individual time to focus on decolonizing the part of your practice that needs the most support right now.
  3. Free Q&As (a.k.a. monthly decolonized consultation sessions): We’ve held a couple meetings already. These are small and supportive meetings that will help you find community with other liberation-focused therapists and healers.
  4. Workshops: Lots of them coming later in the year. Click on the topic that interests you the most to make sure you are the first to know about them:

I’m excited to reconnect and continue providing valuable content that supports your journey of unlearning oppressive/one-size-fits-all ways of healing and doing therapy.

Reply to this email if there are any specific topics or questions you’d like me to cover. Your feedback and engagement mean a lot to me 💛

Thank you for being here. I look forward to sharing more with you soon!

In community,

Silvana @ Decolonize Your Practice

Liberatory Letters

I help therapists, healers, and space-holders bring decolonial and liberatory values into their work—so you’re not just saying you’re aligned… you’re actually practicing it. ⬆️ More integrity, more connection, more liberation. ⬇️ Less burnout, less performative wokeness, less colonial residue. If you want a practice where marginalized clients feel safe, seen, and honored—and you want to feel more grounded and intentional in your work—subscribe and join a growing community of practitioners doing this work differently. You practice can be liberatory-- let's get you there!

July 2026 | issue #9 Reader, even though we work in a profession dedicated to healing, i’ve come to realize that the way therapy is often structured can be surprisingly isolating. and that has always struck me as odd. we tell clients that healing happens in relationship. we encourage them to build meaningful connections, strengthen their communities, ask for help, and move away from isolation. we know—both through research and through lived experience—that meaningful relationships influence...
