Season 1 Episode 134 Published 1 year, 8 months ago

Description

As therapists and practitioners, we're always seeking innovative ways to foster healing and support growth in our clients.

In this episode, I had the privilege of speaking with Marjorie Jean, a trailblazing therapist who is reshaping the approach to mental health care by harnessing the power of community.

Key Takeaways:

Community-Centric Healing: Discover how to integrate community and family dynamics into therapy, advocating for a collective approach to healing over traditional individual-focused modalities.
Cultural Competence: Learn how therapists can become trauma-informed and inclusive in a real and impactful way instead of just performative, as well as the significance of cultural and collective esteem in therapeutic practice.
Navigating Anxiety: Hear a refreshing perspective on embracing anxiety, reframing it as a manageable aspect rather than something to eliminate, and how community support plays a crucial role in mental well-being.

Join us as we delve into a conversation on the transformative potential of group healing and cultural awareness in therapy.
