Dr. Jennifer Mullan

Dr. Jenn brought two of her favorite baddies to the table — Kim Young and Marvin Toliver!⁠ ⁠ They get into what direct service actually does to your body over time, why hood rat shit is a survival strategy, and what it feels like to finally see yourself the way others have always seen you. This convo is messy, funny, real, and deeply necessary.⁠ ⁠ Comment "PODCAST" for the link.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #FromRootToBone #DecolonizingTherapy #DrJenniferMullen #NewPodcastEpisode #PodcastsOfInstagram #KimYoung #MarvinToliver

We have been silenced for so long. I know we’ve heard that & maybe even said that to ourselves before; but have you considered that these responses are part of the fabric of who we are? Embedded in our DNA? Have you sat with that grief? The aching to speak, yet feeling restricted of air or the “right words” to communicate a grief so bone deep that you can’t access it? 🔥 Well in my humble opinion Sacred Rage & our little rage child has a chunk of that key. In accessing & being willing to HONOR that which we feel scared, embarrassed, overwhelmed by —- we invite light, community & joy into these crevices. . 🔥 Let’s start together my People. ... it’s the only way we can begin to imagine and architect and listen to our Elders & indigenous siblings- about what the future will look like. NOW. The future is now. . 🔥 What would happen if we actually honored our enraged aspects of Self, and instead of “fixing” we FELT? And then felt some more? What would happen if we created more time to simply slow down? Sign out? Recuperate from the atrocities we have witnesses? What would happen if we allowed ourselves a refuge in the grief and in the rage and saw the two inextricably connected? Original Post: 8/12/20

I am so excited and grateful for this collab that I had to shout it from my rooftops again!  Deeply grateful for this team of brilliant beings and the journey ahead. I am writing a second book. SACRED RAGE. Writing the proposal itself already felt like a relief — and like intended magick. Like something that has been gestating in me for a very long time. Truthfully, since childhood. And maybe even before that. Because rage is rarely just ""our own."" It moves through lineage, memory, body, and story. It's ancestral. It's generational. And writing this book feels like a gift — a freeing relationship to acknowledging the power of that rage, and honoring the generations before me who carried it, survived it, and sometimes had nowhere safe to place it. As I learned from writing Decolonizing Therapy — the real surrender is allowing the book to write through me. I'm deeply grateful to be doing this alongside some brilliant and visionary women. To my fierce and badass agent Ericka Phillips at Stephanie Tade Agency — thank you for believing in this vision and helping bring it into the world. To Nana Twumasi and Natalie Bautista at Balance — I'm so excited to work with you, and grateful for your editorial brilliance and clarity. And big love to Melissa Valentine (@melissacvalentine ), whose support and partnership have been part of this unfolding in powerful ways. There is something incredibly powerful about what happens when Black and Brown women gather around a vision and say: ""Let's build this."" The book isn't written yet. But the fire is lit. And if you've been here for a while, you already know: Rage is not the problem. Rage is information. Boundary. Memory. Medicine. More to come as this journey unfolds 🔥

Erotic sovereignty is a liberation framework. We just rarely treat it that way.⁠ ⁠ In most decolonial and healing spaces, sexuality, sensuality, and erotic power don't make it into the conversation. They get filed under "personal" — something to tend to once the serious work is finished. But the policing of Black and Brown erotic life was never incidental to colonial systems. It was structural. Which means reclaiming it is political work, not a detour from it.⁠ ⁠ On May 14th, Dr. Zelaika Hepworth Clarke is bringing this conversation to our next Office Hours live call — Decolonial Pleasures & Powers. ⁠ ⁠ Through the framework of Osunality, an African-centered erotic paradigm, Dr. Zel will guide us through a rigorous and embodied exploration of pleasure as sacred, sovereign, and liberatory.⁠ ⁠ This is for therapists, healers, and community members who are ready to take the erotic seriously as part of their practice and their liberation.⁠ ⁠ Comment "OFFICE HOURS" below and we'll send you the link to join us.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #DecolonizingTherapy #DecolonialPleasure #EroticSovereignty #PleasureActivism #SexTherapy #EroticJustice #DecolonizeEverything #HealingJustice #CommunityHealing #LiberationWork #PleasureIsPolitical #DecolonialCare #OfficeHours

"It is our joy, our playfulness, and our deep faith that gets us free — but it's the joy that balances out the work." — Lama Rod Owens⁠ ⁠ New episode of From Root to Bone just dropped and Lama Rod Owens brought absolutely everything. 🙏🏽 As a Buddhist minister, author, activist, and one of the leading voices in a new generation of teachers, Lama Rod has spent decades helping people find their way back to themselves...and this conversation with Dr. Jenn is no exception.⁠ ⁠ They talk about why broken hearts are full of data, how Black joy has always been an act of survival and resistance, and what happens when we stop pretending to be good and start telling the truth. ⁠ ⁠ Comment "PODCAST" for the link.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #DecolonizingTherapy #FromRootToBone #PodcastsOfInstagram #LamaRodOwens #GriefWork #JoyAsResistance #LiberatoryPractice #ListenNow #NewPodcastEpisode

You became a care-worker because you wanted to actually help people. But somewhere along the way the tools stopped matching the wounds. Not because you aren't skilled....because the frameworks you were handed were never built to see the full history of what your clients are carrying. That gap was engineered. And it can be closed.⁠ ⁠ It's the last day to register for Decolonizing Therapy Foundations Training-Winter Session⁠ Comment "FOUNDATIONS" for the link.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #DecolonizingTherapy #DecolonialPraxis #IntergenerationalTrauma #HealingJustice #CulturallyResponsiveCare #TherapistsOfColor #LiberatoryPractice #TheHealingVillage
