Decolonizing Therapy by Jennifer Mullan, PsyD

Oppression, Historical Trauma, and Politicizing Your Practice

“Jennifer Mullan offers a fiery provocation to all of us-especially those called to serve as therapists, practitioners, and healers. The call is to grasp at the root that which really harms us, those oppressive practices of our training that do more to dehumanize and disconnect than we’ve known.”

-Prentis Hemphill, The Embodiment Institute

An essential work that centers colonial and historical trauma in a framework for healing, Decolonizing Therapy illuminates that all therapy is—and always has been— inherently political. This book is the emotional companion and guide to decolonization. Ignoring collective global trauma makes delivering effective therapy impossible; not knowing how to interrogate privilege (as a therapist, client, or both) makes healing elusive; and shying away from understanding how we as professionals may be participating in oppression is irresponsible.
