“There’s no such thing as neutral education. Education functions as an instrument to bring about either conformity, or freedom.”
— Dr. Jennifer Mullan
Therapy has never been separate from the world that shaped it.
It carries the fingerprints of empire, whiteness, capitalism, and the historical harms that have shaped modern psychology. In this powerful gathering, Dr. Jennifer Mullan—author of Decolonizing Therapy—invites us to confront the myth of neutrality and step into a practice of healing that is rooted in lineage, justice, and collective memory.
Together, we will explore:
🌿 How colonialism and historical trauma live inside the therapy room
🌿 Why disconnection from land, ancestors, and community makes healing impossible
🌿 What it truly means to decolonize therapy—as clinicians, clients, or co-conspirators
🌿 How sacred rage, grief, and refusal open pathways to repair
🌿 What healing looks like when we stop individualizing harm and begin remembering together
This conversation is for therapists, students, organizers, caregivers, and anyone asking what becomes possible when therapy stops being a form of “treatment” and becomes a practice of relational and ancestral repair.
