Today we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. not only for his dream, but for his commitment to justice, dignity, and liberation.
Therapy is political because our mental health does not exist in a vacuum. Systems of racism, poverty, gender inequality, immigration policy, ableism, and violence shape how we experience safety, opportunity, and hope. When rights are restricted and freedoms are denied, our nervous systems carry that burden.
Healing requires more than individual coping — it requires understanding the systems that harm us and imagining new ones that allow us to thrive. At its core, therapy is an act of resistance and restoration. It is a space to reclaim our voice, our power, and our humanity.
