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!
Sharing some people you must follow

Reader, You are receiving this (pre-scheduled) email while I transition back from a break. So it doesn’t address or reflect on anything that might be happening in the world at the moment. (And honestly, I’m really hoping nothing major is happening… because we’ve all had plenty happen already.) These are some of the people I started following this year. They’re far from being your traditional therapy resource. None of them are therapists (in the Western sense), but they are IMHO amazing healers and educators with lived experience and attuned to their communities.
And this is a tiny sample of my list from last year:
If you decide to follow them and learn from then, please consider supporting them (like, share, tag, comment, donate) and not just using their content 💛 Are there any people or educators you follow? Hit reply and let me know who they are to share their work! In community and in sharing knowledge and lived experience, Silvana @ Decolonize Your Practice PS.

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...
Reader, A quick update on what's here: 🌻 Community Liberation Sessions. The last meeting of the year is next week. Sign up here. 🔥 The Practice of Liberation. Monthly personal reflections of liberatory work beyond professional practice went out this last Monday. Read more about it in the PS section or subscribe here. Last week I invited you to question whose ethics we practice. That conversation began with one of the very first questions ever submitted in Community Liberation Sessions: “Is it...
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. For a while, I believed that story. I believed there was something inside me—my brain, my genes, my chemistry—that made me fundamentally more susceptible to depression than other people. Don’t get me...
