In this episode Natalie Patterson and Dr. Jennifer Mullan, author of Decolonizing Therapy, explore the emotional and psychological toll of systemic racism and societal pressures, particularly on marginalized communities. They discuss how microaggressions, trauma, and a lack of support impact people dealing with racial and economic stress, while challenging traditional therapy approaches that often fail to address these issues. Dr. Mullan shares practical tips for managing intense emotions like rage and anxiety, offering strategies like journaling and seeking community support. The conversation highlights the importance of connection, solidarity, and shared wisdom in healing, emphasizing that these elements can be powerful tools when access to mental health resources is limited. Tune in for a candid exploration of how to navigate adversity and build resilience in a world designed to marginalize.
