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!

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'm working on: ❤️🩹 a field guide is coming... it will help you assess the conditions that actually help clients heal and stop feeling like you have to be everything for you clients.Read more about it in the PS section or sign up for the waitlist here. Can I call myself an ally? An accomplice? A co-conspirator? This question seems to come up again and again in liberatory spaces, and I have a somewhat uncomfortable answer: we don’t get to decide. Not because...

August 2026 | issue #10 Reader, The very first time I was diagnosed with depression, I was in my early twenties.My therapist told me I had what was then called endogenous depression. “We don’t really know why,” she said, “but some people are simply more prone to it.” She treated me using CBT.
