Excellent decolonizing and socially just ideas and ways forward!
Found TU recently and wish I’d had known of it before! I’m a group practice owner and we seek to incorporate more and more social justice work into our practices. The recent decolonizing therapy content just exceptional and beautiful! Great interviews. A boon to my own practice.
No!!!
Another really good podcast has sold out and is doing ridiculous, useless ads. Stop with all the nonsense and get back to the great content.
