Therapy that doesn’t connect the dots with larger systemic issues end up getting blamed on the same folx the systems disadvantage

Exactly!

Western psychiatry has historically labeled Indigenous grief, Black resistance, or immigrant anxiety as pathology rather than responses to oppression. So therapy often educates marginalized people to see their reactions to systemic violence as personal defects, instead of as reasonable responses to racial trauma. In addition, Therapy often teaches people of color to cope with racism instead of confront, resist, or transform it.

A Eurocentric lens says:
• meditate through your oppression
• regulate your trauma
• adjust your thinking
• focus on the self, not the system

This produces “good, manageable clients”—not liberated ones. This turns therapy into an institutional tool designed to maintain the status quo.

In this essential conversation with Dr. Jennifer Mullan, author of Decolonizing Therapy: Oppression, Historical Trauma, and Politicizing Your Practice, we face a truth long evaded in Eurocentric clinical training:
Therapy is not—and has never been—neutral.

I'm sorry, but a man who destroys your mental health cannot be the love of your life. Never.

Love isn’t supposed to hurt like that. It’s not supposed to leave you crying yourself to sleep, questioning your worth, or walking on eggshells just to avoid conflict. The right man will never make you feel like you’re too emotional, too sensitive, or too much for simply wanting respect and peace.

When someone constantly drains your energy, manipulates your emotions, or makes you doubt your reality — that’s not love, that’s control. And no amount of memories, apologies, or promises can make toxicity look like love.

The love of your life will help you heal, not be the reason you need healing. He will make you feel calm in a world full of chaos, not become the chaos himself. You deserve someone who speaks life into you, who makes your soul rest easy, who shows you that love isn’t meant to be painful — it’s meant to be peaceful.
