🔥 NEW Global Crisis Holding Sessions | BOOK NOW
This episode invites you into a very real, honest conversation about doesn't get named in therapy spaces enough — trauma is political. Your pain didn’t come out of nowhere, and it doesn’t exist in a vacuum. We talk about how your nervous system, your symptoms, and the way you’ve learned to survive are shaped by the world you’re living in. Racism, colonialism, patriarchy, fascism, and late-stage capitalism don’t just affect us “out there”, they land in the body. This episode unpacks why anxiety, burnout, anger, grief, and numbness are not personal failures, but deeply intelligent responses to chronic stress and unsafe systems. We also touch on collective and intergenerational trauma, why Western therapy so often individualises suffering, and how healing actually asks us to widen the lens toward community, culture and truth. If you’ve ever felt like you’re “too much” or not coping well enough, let this episode be a reminder: your responses make sense!!!
