Surviving the System: Immigration Trauma, Fear, and the Cost of Belonging

What does it mean to heal in a world that feels increasingly unsafe? In this episode of Just Healing, Dr. Debra reconnects with longtime colleague and clinical psychologist Dr. Christopher Deulen to talk trauma, identity, immigration, and hope.

Drawing from decades of work with immigrants, Spanish-speaking clients, and marginalized communities, Dr. Deulen shares deeply personal stories and practical insights on how to connect across cultural and political divides. From bilingual therapy and animal-assisted interventions to navigating transphobia and systemic fear, this conversation is a reminder that healing begins with human connection.

Whether you're a therapist, survivor, or someone who just wants to understand more—this one’s for you.
