Decolonizing Psychology | How Colonialism Severed Our Wellness

In this video, I offer teachings related to Decolonizing Psychology and how colonialism severed our wellness. Here I speak to the holistic wellness that our ancestors lived and embodied in their connection with the natural and spiritual world. This connection with Creation positively impacted our psyche and overall health. And, because of the programming from the western world, we became fragmented beings. The intention with this video is to begin to explore how we can decolonize psychology and reclaim our ancestral ways that kept us well and in harmony with our Mother Earth and the spirits.

Please note: I am not against therapy and understand that therapy in its current form may be helpful to some people. I believe in therapy as it is ultimately an Indigenous practice, though its current form reflects a Western worldview. It is my hope that we can begin to decolonize the practice so that the field can contribute to collective healing and liberation and truly serve the people in these times.

If you are a therapist seeking guidance to decolonize your practice, I invite you to sign up for the waitlist to join my program guiding therapists to do just that. May you answer the call. https://www.drrosalesmeza.com/a-new-p...
