Quotes:
“Living in the Bay Area and doing some really deep inner work on myself and doing rage work with Ruth King and others allowed me to reframe and restructure how I allowed whiteness to see me and how I allowed that gaze or that view to impact me and my spirit.”
“For too long the goal of therapy has been to help people adapt to oppression and cope with ongoing trauma of colonial, capitalis and white supremasists.”
“That gatekeeping, even into the ivory tower, is real.”
“Decolonizing Therapy is really supposed to be a resource for a lot of therapeutic classrooms.”
“Me and rage have a love affair.”
“Rage, I believe, is the love child of ancestral trauma and all different types of trauma, shame, and the kind of grief we're not allowed to talk about, that disenfranchised, suffocated grief.”
“It is important for us to try to build new ways of coping in our bodies and our systems in ways that help us ground ourselves.”
