A Conversation on Divestment from Licensure

So you're a therapist, a trainee, a curious healing practitioner or coach, or you want to be a therapist... but you've recently found out that therapy is kind of fucked up (aka white supremacist, sanist, and reinforcing systems of power). What now?

This is a conversation to walk together through the muddy waters of "what now"? Not aimed at giving a definitive answer, but through sharing of personal experience and known options, opening up some roads to alternatives. In opening up this conversation, we also create possibility for connecting and dreaming up alternatives together in community.

Been pondering these same questions? Come chat. Bring your questions. Let's explore this together.

Disclaimer: Don't come if you're easily offended or attached to therapy as The Only Way of healing - I dislike therapy as a modality beyond the carcerality, and will be very frank about that in this conversation. Feel free to disagree - just remember that disagreement is different than disrespect and I don't permit disrespect in my spaces.

Overall, this is meant to be a space to explore what kind of worlds are possible when we look at "healing" (what is that, even?) outside of systemic structures.

For the care of all participants, this offering -will not- be recorded and will be offered via Jitsi. Please feel free as well to make judicious choices about how you show up.

Tickets are sliding scale - please choose the highest level at which you are able to pay at this time. Your investment makes it possible for me, an unlicensed mad provider, to sustain my work, as well as goes directly to funding my upcoming move to another state with more access to trans and disabled care.
