026: Decolonizing Therapy with Dr. Jennifer Mullan

Dr. Jennifer Mullan (she/her), affectionately nicknamed “the Rage Doctor” by peers and clients, is trained as a Clinical Psychologist, is a published author, and is the CEO and founder of Decolonizing Therapy. She seeks to unpack the oppressive legacy of modern mental health practices, and reconnect practitioners and clients to the roots of our wounding and healing within a sociopolitical lens, most particularly for Queer Indigenous Black Brown People of Color (QIBPOC). In this episode, Dr. Jennifer Mullan and Emily unpack some of the systemic problems within therapy and social work and where these current models are dehumanizing and incomplete; how diagnosing can be limiting, harmful and problematic; the importance of looking at ancestral lineage, trauma, and ways of healing; and lovingly making space for sacred rage. You can learn more about Decolonizing Therapy here, and follow Dr. Jennifer Mullan on Instagram, Twitter, and/or Facebook  You can find full transcripts, links, and other information on our website.
