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!
The questions I got asked the most this year…

Reader, You are receiving this (pre-scheduled) email while I am on 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.) Let's see if these Qs sound familiar:
If these questions ⬆️ resonate with you—or if you’ve been asking yourself similar ones—know this: you’re not alone.
You’re part of a growing community of decolonial practitioners who are committed to doing the work, who care deeply about getting it right, and who want to decolonize their practices while navigating a system that often (always?) pushes back. I see you, it‘s hard to do the work, it’s a life-long journey, there’s pushback from all the oppressive systems all around us… And you’ve got this, even when you feel unsure or you question yourself, I see your commitment, and I believe in the work you’re doing 🌻 Even though I’m on a hibernation break, I want to hear from you: Are there any other questions you asked yourself this year in the journey of decolonizing your practice? Send me your answer, I’ll be so excited to read it when I’m back. Here’s to a new cycle/season of more healing for you and your clients In community and in new beginnings ☀️ Silvana @ Decolonize Your Practice PS. You can read previous Liberatory Letters here. Let's connect! |

July 2026 | issue #9 Reader, even though we work in a profession dedicated to healing, i’ve come to realize that the way therapy is often structured can be surprisingly isolating. and that has always struck me as odd. we tell clients that healing happens in relationship. we encourage them to build meaningful connections, strengthen their communities, ask for help, and move away from isolation. we know—both through research and through lived experience—that meaningful relationships influence...
