What is anti-oppressive therapy?

• Exploring psychological implications of oppression through curiosity, questioning and processing these stories and feelings you have been carrying.

• Having hard but needed conversations around topics like privilege, injustice and trauma, forms of abuse (from interpersonal relationships be it from authority figures or within the family), and internalized oppression (whether you experience fatphobia, heterosexism, racism, ableism, etc.)

• Understanding that you are not the root of the problem; the problem is not privatized within the individual. That when we uncover these systems of power, we can reclaim who we are and reconnect.
