Activists know how to fight. But we all need to learn to heal ourselves.

Turns out, therapists also need self-care strategies to defend against vicarious trauma.

Black Meditation talks about self-care and the importance of community care: amzn.to/3JEnhm7

Not all media is for liberation. But there are some banned books that can change your life.

Without The Destruction of Black Civilization by Chancellor Williams. It's likely that there would be no Archer Therapy without that book.

What book weren't you supposed to read?

Anti-Racist Psychotherapy is a trauma informed understanding of how Anti-Black Systemic Racism impacts people as well as the neurobiological effects of racial trauma.

It is an introduction to EMDR therapy and a new way of looking at systemic change.

Therapy can complement your beliefs and even strengthen them. We can heal trauma by using art or in this case gospel music.

Let's cultivate gratitude and transformative change.

Race and Social Construction.🌍

Race is not what we think it is. We agree on what it means everytime we think about it.

It shapes the way we see ourselves and other people.
