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​

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!

November 2026 | issue #13 Reader, I remember that my transition from community mental health into private practice was hard. I was burnt out. To me, community mental health meant supporting a caseload of around 70–80 individuals, each and every one with complex, multilayered challenges, while receiving very little support myself. And the support I did receive often lacked cultural attunement. The golden handcuffs, we used to call it. It paid relatively well, even more so if you signed up for...
