Dr. Tanya Erazo, award-winning psychologist and adjunct professor, joins the podcast to discuss how indigenous healing modalities helped ease her anxiety around an upcoming open-heart surgery procedure. She shares her experience with a sesión de sanación led by Nahuat Pipil elders and how it brought her peace when Western medical advice couldn't, why she believes that indigenous healing modalities can complement psychological treatment, and the importance of psychologists not co-opting indigenous traditions.
