In this episode of Your Story Medicine, I welcome Gabes Torres, who has been active in the work of anti-racism and decolonization, particularly in the fields of mental health, education, spirituality, music, and community organizing. Gabes is a racial and migration trauma-informed psychotherapist and intends to decolonize the therapeutic space. She also offers clinical support and care at recovery centers that shelter and support survivors of human trafficking and domestic violence.
Gabes speaks to us about finding balance between resting and fighting for revolution, navigating the mental health world with a decolonization framework, and why ancestral healing is so important for our growth and liberation. Then, at the end of our intimate conversation, Gabes shares a lovely poem she wrote.
