I used to say: "What does it mean to queer your therapy practise?" And to me, it meant questioning everything I ever learned. It meant to question the societal and cultural norms I was raised with, to question what I learned at grad school, and therapy trainings, and from Western therapist spaces. To question my biases, my assumptions, pathologizing views on disorders, neurodivergence, and anything else that deviates from what society has defined as 'normal'.
Now, I am aware that the core of this meant decolonizing therapy, and this journey goes so much deeper than intellectually trying to "queer" and deconstruct what I know. My decolonizing journey is somatically intense, as it revolts against everything Western socialization and intellectualism indoctrinated into my soul. The books, zines, and courses mentioned below are a few of the resources that accompany me on this journey.
