Episode Synopsis

People experiencing oppression are not generating illness from within, they're being poisoned from the outside and then punished for how they respond to that poison. If we, as therapists, don't let that part of the conversation into the room, we're going to pathologize the wrong part of the equation, we're going to make our client the "Identified Patient," and we're going to perpetuate their oppression.Originally published 9/14/2019
