"Know history, know self. No history, no self."
"You can't change what you can't recognize."
Stephanie Garma Balon joins us in another episode to share her journey towards decolonization. In this episode, Steph and I connected on the different ways we've seen colonial mentality (a form of internalized oppression) play out in the Filipino community and in our clinical practice. Steph also shares some steps she has taken/is taking towards "decolonial healing."
How are you decolonizing your practice? For any tips or thoughts you'd like to share, please reach out to therapistunfolding@gmail.com. It would also mean a lot if you could share this episode to another clinician of color who you think might benefit from the insights that Stephanie generously shared with us today. Maraming Salamat for your support.
