Clinical Psychologist and Healer Anele Siswana joins me in this episode to explore what it means to heal through both Western psychology and African spirituality — and why those two worlds often fail to meet.
Together, we unpack how colonisation redefined what “clean” and “valid” healing looks like, and what it takes to decolonise the ways in which we understand mental health.
Key themes:
Reclaiming African spiritual and psychological traditions
The ongoing impact of colonisation on African identity and practice
The need for African psychology to respond to African problems
The courage to show up as healer and psychologist.
Books referenced: “Only Love is Real” and “Many Lives, Many Masters” by Dr Brian Weiss"
Note: At one point in the episode, Shudu mistakenly says “transgression therapy” — she actually meant “regression therapy,” a technique popularized by Dr. Brian Weiss.
