EP 7. Creating Anti-Oppressive & Liberated Psychology Practices with Dr. Han Ren Stories from the Field
-
- Society & Culture
Since the onset of the pandemic, the interest in mental health and self-care have both increased exponentially. Along with this, a gradual shift toward applying a more intersectional lens to these practices has emerged, especially after the concerns of BIPOC have long been left out of these spaces.
That’s why we’re thrilled to sit down with licensed psychologist Dr. Han Ren – one of the field’s leading experts in anti-oppressive and liberation psychological practices. In this conversation, we discuss a whole range of topics, from her perspective on accepted norms in Western psychology to the very important reasons why she joined TikTok!
LEARNING HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS EPISODE:
Why we need to re-evaluate Western psychology to serve the needs of BIPOC individuals.
The differences between equality, equity, and liberation.
How DEI practitioners can preserve and protect their energy for this work.
Why it's necessary for white people to lead other white people in this work.
