#Repost @decolonizingtherapy • • • • • • Decolonizing Therapy exists FOR THE People. For The People who are still struggling to make rent this month, despite working over 50+/hrs a week. For The People “not passing” coming out with no fam support. The People living with mental health dis-eases & no insurance. The People who want to send a loved one off back Home, but can’t return b/c they have no papers. The People late to work b/c of ANOTHER panic attack. The People trying to kick that habit & making promises to their child. The People creating art, trying to pay the bills & organizing in the movement... For the People who assumed college was the answer to the longing inside of them, stuck working for Systems serving THE System. For The People whose only lifeline, & connection lies in your page & posts. For The People who are still unpacking & trying to manage the effects of growing up with no dolls looking like us. With minimal sitcoms showcasing our family dynamics. With minimal clothing to adequately express our color, style, and vibe... For The People who cannot JUST focus on trauma bonds, or coping mechanisms, or meditation, or attachment, or pronoun day, or parent wounds- not because they don’t want to- but because survival is THAT much more important. Because their well being is a day to day gamble. So, we are grateful for the followers & therapists & healers here, but we must be clear that this work is for The People. And we are CRYSTAL that there are powers & systems & machines on a macro levels- systematically designed to do the job it’s doing today. To oppress. Robbing us of connection. Feeding depressive thoughts. Exploiting the blackest. Robbing from the poorest. Feasting on the sickest." -OP #decolonize #decolonizetherapy #communitycare (at Gaithersburg, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_qRc99pFJD/?igshid=zsno3dc3g5m
