Our emotions were never the problem—our silence was survival. In this episode, Tracy Gantlin-Monroy, MDiv, LPC, Brainspotting Trainer, reclaims the rage and grief of Black, Brown, and Indigenous women—and exposes how those feelings have been pathologized under the white gaze.
From the “Angry Black Woman” trope. The “spicy Latina.” The “stoic Native.” To emotional invisibility in the therapy room, Tracy breaks down how Brainspotting supports embodied reclamation—and how healing becomes possible when the full spectrum of expression is welcomed.
She also calls in white-bodied clinicians and co-conspirators: Liberation costs comfort. Authenticity requires discomfort. And healing demands truth.
This episode is a sanctuary for grief, a song for rage, and a reckoning for those ready to feel.
