Untethering Shame

Shame & Decolonizing Therapy: Exploring Our Role as Helping Professionals


Listen Later

I loved this episode with CéShaun N. Armstrong Hankins and feel like we only just started to scratch the surface on such a powerful topic. Some of the key takeaways for me include:

  • How do you break out of the sense you are doing something wrong by choosing your values
  • What do we do when the system is designed to make you the villain or the problem to protect its own agenda?
  • Can you work in a system that is rooted in -isms and still affect change?
  • How do we empower choice in ourselves and our clients
  • Why somatic work is an integral part of decolonizing therapy
