Psychologist and teacher Dr. Monique Bowen believes that the benefits of psychoanalysis extend far beyond the healing and personal growth that can come from exploring one’s unconscious. In a country built on whiteness and systemic racism, the act of analyzing unconscious thoughts and behaviors can provide an opportunity for community healing across communities. Having a safe space to have these conversations is essential. In this conversation, Dr. Bowen discusses how therapy can be a place of healing not only for the patient but also for the therapist—and for the community at large.
