You can watch all our videos at https://scienceandnonduality.com Therapy has never been outside of history. It cannot exist apart from empire, whiteness, capitalism, or the psychic disciplining that comes with them. In this essential conversation with Dr. Jennifer Mullan, author of Decolonizing Therapy: Oppression, Historical Trauma, and Politicizing Your Practice, we face a truth long evaded in Eurocentric clinical training: Therapy is not—and has never been—neutral. This gathering is a call to ground the therapeutic field in ancestral and systemic truths, not just intellectually, but emotionally and somatically. Together, we explore: How colonialism, historical trauma, and systemic violence live in the therapy room Why disembodiment from lineage, land, and collective memory makes healing impossible What it means to decolonize therapy as a clinician, client, or co-conspirator How rage, grief, and refusal can become sacred medicines for repair What healing and justice look like when we stop individualizing harm and start remembering together Dr. Mullan shares from her journey of calling therapists into a politicized practice—one rooted in responsibility, reverence, and collective liberation. The conversation challenges clinicians to confront their training, interrogate their privilege, and participate in the sacred labor of relearning. This event is open to therapists, students, organizers, caregivers, and anyone wondering: What becomes possible when we stop treating therapy as treatment—and start tending it as relational repair? Dr. Jennifer Mullan is the author of the national bestselling book “Decolonizing Therapy: Oppression, Historical Trauma & Politicizing Your Practice.” She is a dynamic international speaker as well as an organizational consultant, teacher, course creator, community builder, and decolonized mental health movement starter. She continues to lead the charge—challenging how therapists are educated and how they practice by helping thousands of practitioners UNLEARN & UNDO colonial & Eurocentric methods of helping. Through her research, teaching, therapy, personal and professional experiences, she developed expertise in anti-oppressive practices in clinical practice; child & adolescent wellness & trauma; community mental health; the politicization of mental health; intergenerational & historical trauma transmission; ancestral healing; energy medicine; family dynamics and personal development; sacred rage as medicine; and peer support & supervision. Iya Affo is a trauma specialist and founder of Healing Historical Trauma, who brings over two decades of experience in mental health, social services, and community advocacy. Iya’s ancestors hail from the Sacred City of 41 Mountains in West Africa, Barbados, Jamaica and the Bahamas. Affo’s work focuses on empowering individuals and communities to break cycles of trauma through culturally-responsive healing practices. Her approach integrates traditional wisdom with modern therapeutic techniques, emphasizing the importance of reconnecting with cultural roots. She is a sought-after speaker and educator with a mission to facilitate re-culturing and the subsequent healing of indigenous people all over the world. Science and Nonduality (SAND) contemplates and reveres the beauty, complexity, pain, and great mystery that weave the infinite cycles of existence. We explore beyond ultimate truths, binary thinking, and individual awakening while acknowledging humanity as a mere part of the intricate web of life.
