Reader,

​

Lately, I’ve been hearing it in my practice:

“I don’t feel efficient in session.”

“I didn’t offer my client a solution.”

“I'm not at the top of my game, always fixing, always moving forward.”

And maybe you’ve felt it too—that pull to problem-solve, to fix, to speed things up, to learn the new technique that promises to give you better results with clients when the world around us is crumbling.

But here’s the truth:

“Therapy express” doesn’t work (it never did btw...)

Especially not now.

Not when the world is heavier.

Not when our clients are carrying more.

Not when we ourselves are grieving, raging, and holding so much.

​

Decolonial therapy invites us to do the opposite.

• Slow the pace.
• Join our clients energetically.
• Refuse the pressure to “fix” what is breaking under systemic violence.

And no—
​“Joining energetically” isn’t some woo-woo idea/spiritual appropriation.​
It’s embodied presence.
It’s naming grief, hopelessness, fear.
It’s letting the work slow down enough for truth to surface.

Reflection for you:​
🌿 Where in your sessions lately have you felt the rush to fix?
🌿 What would happen if you slowed down instead of speeding up?
🌿 How can you honor your own exhaustion alongside your clients’?

🧠 Remember:​
​You are not failing because the pain is too big to fix in one hour.​
💫 You are practicing liberation by choosing to stay present.
✨ You are practicing healing by moving at the speed of trust, not capitalism.

​

🔥 Share your reflections with me, I want to know what's happening in your world!

​

Here’s to more spaciousness and embodied presence ☀️
