Therapists are reimagining their practices to address the impacts of structural racism, integrating culturally responsive methods and acknowledging intergenerational trauma. By 'decolonizing' traditional approaches, they aim to create spaces for healing that honor diverse experiences and histories. NPR highlights this movement towards more inclusive mental health care, showcasing how these shifts are reshaping the field. “There's no way that we can just say that we're going to look at this from a cultural lens without actually looking through the historical, intergenerational lens,” says Eden Teng, a first generation Cambodian American psychotherapist in Seattle, Washington. “And so, it has to be comprehensive and interconnected for it to truly honor the human being that is in front of you.” Tags |
