The hope is that continued growth exists...to look into the fuller story, the context, the social, political, historical, ancestral context from which it came from, and to know that it's not going to be a linear and tidy process.
Ever thought about how mental health care can be more inclusive? In this episode, therapist Gabes Torres shares their unique perspective on decolonizing therapy and healing. As an Indigenous person from the Philippines and a non-US citizen migrant, Gabes brings a wealth of experience working with clients who identify as Black, Indigenous, transgender, queer, and people of color.
July is BIPOC Mental Health Month in the US, a time dedicated to highlighting the specific mental health challenges faced by underrepresented groups. Gabes dives into how racism, colonization, and white supremacy uniquely impact BIPOC communities, emphasizing the need to move beyond traditional Eurocentric frameworks in therapy. They also discuss how capitalism and access to care play significant roles in mental health disparities.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the broader context of mental health issues and learning how to prioritize marginalized voices in healing. Tune in for an enlightening conversation that not only sheds light on these crucial topics but also offers hope for a more inclusive mental health industry.
