Meet Monique Castro, founder and CEO of Indigenous Circle of Wellness.
In this episode, she talks to us about the importance of integrating cultural values into healthcare, especially in Tribal nations in the United States. Monique explores an interesting connection between ancient practices, like dancing and drumming, and modern therapies used to treat trauma, anxiety, and depression. She also explains how to individualize healing methods based on personal and cultural preferences, and why addressing disconnections and generational trauma is so critical vs. merely diagnosing a patient.
Prepare yourselves for a remarkable episode that bridges the gap between traditional therapy and cultural understanding.
