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!
Can you reply to this email…

Reader, I really want you to reply to this email so I’m going to make it super quick. As I’m planning my next year of offerings (workshops, Q&As, mini e-courses, lesson plans, and all other communal experiences and exchanges) I’d love to know what would serve you best as you continue (or start) decolonizing your practice. Just hit reply and answer one or all of the following questions:
Looking forward to hearing from you 🌻 In community & in rest, Silvana @ Decolonize Your Practice PS. You are receiving this (pre-scheduled) email while I am preparing to take some time off. So it doesn’t address or reflect on anything that might be happening in the world at the moment (and I truly hope nothing major is happening… we’ve had plenty happen…). PPS. You can read previous Liberatory Letters here. Let's connect! |

Reader, A quick update on what I've been up to: 💻 Community Liberation Sessions, (formerly Decolonized Consultation Sessions) a live, collective space for therapists, healers, and space-holders interrupting colonial patterns in their work and practicing liberation in real time — not just talking about it.We bring our tensions, contradictions, and lived realities into the room and work through them together.If you’ve been craving practice, not performance, this space is for you.Learn more...
February 2026 Reader, I belong to the subgroup of clinicians who became therapists because they went to therapy and… it worked!

I completed my clinical psychology internship at the local Air Force hospital in 2009. Of course I didn’t love the specialty classes. Of course I was lit up by philosophy and psychology, literature and psychology, sociology...
Reader, I’ve been reflecting on the fact that my prescheduled emails told you I was in deep rest mode, and now I’m questioning that. I think the news — and the pace and volume of it — really took a toll on me, and I’m still recovering from it. I don’t think I achieved deep rest.That is okay in the sense that this is useful information: more is happening ⇒ systems are escalating ⇒ it’s harder to return to any kind of baseline ⇒ this informs me about what may also be happening for the...
