Jeremy is joined this week by a fellow therapist, community organizer, and honestly one of his favorite humans, Bruno Lenzi. Jeremy and Bruno talk about the power of collaborative and dialogical therapy, community healing, and resisting colonial models of mental health. From massive public therapy circles to revolutionary reading groups and access for people from all socioeconomic statuses, Bruno offers a vision of what mental health can look like when it’s led by the people, not institutions. This conversation blends theory, joy, political urgency, and the importance of tabletop gaming without fascists. We even get to namedrop a few of our favorite fantasy authors.
Bruno is doing such amazing work, you can learn more at assimsc.org.br (English speakers just hit the translate button in your browser!), and on Instagram. You can check out Bruno’s book here, and other resources for free at the Taos Institute Worldshare Books. If you want to learn more about the Taos Institute and social construction and dialogic practices, you can check out the Taos Institute Commons with some self-paced courses, in addition to many opportunities to connect with like-minded professionals.
Jeremy has all his practice info at Wellness with Jer, and you can find him on Instagram and YouTube. To show your love for the show you can pick up some merch! We appreciate support from likes, follows, and shares as well!
