No one is one dimensional. We all have multiple pieces that make up who we are. Understanding those pieces and how they exist in the world can be a powerful practice of self-exploration. When we dive into learning about who we are, we better understand how we think, feel, and exist in the world. In this episode we are going to take a closer look at what intersectionality is and how you can use it to cultivate mental wellness for yourself and others.
In this episode, Dr. Shainna, licensed mental health counselor, educator, advocate and author of the newly released book Designing Healthy Boundaries helps us apply an intersectional approach to our mental well-being. The method is broken down into 3 simple phases: (1) identification (2) exploration and (3) interaction. At the end, practical activity is shared to help you integrate intersectionality into your mental wellness.
