They may also resist seeking treatment for fear of being judged.

As Black people, we are more likely to face a traumatic experience or suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Jennifer Shepard Payne presents culturally tailored acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) skills to help you heal from trauma, so you can live a meaningful life that is in tune with your own values.

An essential work that centers colonial and historical trauma in a framework for healing, Decolonizing Therapy illuminates that all therapy is—and always has been—inherently political.

Only then will listeners see how colonial, historical, and intergenerational legacies have always played a role in the treatment of mental health.
